A big delegation of Newlin
tSevnship land owners was before the

job to satisfy everyone. But the ap
pointment of a day specially to hear
complaints about valuations in a
certain or given community or sec
tion will have its benefits. It will
enable the officers charged with the
task of fixing land valuatious to
ascertain at first hand something like
the real value, or what it would sell
for, of lauds. From this informa
tion the board can proceed to work
the matter out on a fairly equitable
basis.

Graham Baptists Doing Things.
The home occupied by the Pastor
of Graham Baptist church, Rev. L.
U. Weston, has been sold and the
new owner will ahortly want it for
himself and family, which will neces
sitate Mr. Wesvon's moving. Like
most other towns in the State, homes
to rent afe scarce in Wraham—few
or none are available. The situa
tion put the Baptist people here to
thinking and on last Sunday at a
business session of the church it was
determined to build a parsonage in
order that the church might have a
home for its pastor. That's a move
in the right direction.
The Baptist people now have a
big drive on to raise $75,000,000
for missions. That's lots of money,
hut they expect to reach the goal.
Graham Baptist congregation is go
ing to have a part in the great task
and they have agreed to raise $5,000
of the amount. That is a splendid
and liberal contribution.

JUDGE OLENDENIN
' ■ _ PASSES AWAY,
Prominent in Public Affair*, Patriotic
and Church Worker,,
From Rains County Leader, Emory,
Texas, Oct. 3, 1919.
In the death of William IL Clen
denin, which occurred at the
family home in Emory Tuesday
night at 11:55 o'clock, this neigh
borhood has suffered a loss, and
not only this neighborhood, but
the county and the district as
well. You did not have to hunt
for the evidence of his standing
among his friends and neghbora,
for "the town will miss him" and
like expressions were common
among the large crowd which
gathered to pay tribute to his
memory.
The editor has known Judge
Clendenin about twenty-three
years. He has be«n our friend
during the whole time. In look
ing back over those years and our
close association it makes us feel
glad that we knew him and that
his strong character and counsel
were helpful to those with whom
he came in contaot. He never
tired of advising people to stay out
of court, thougli the counsel was'
against his own financial interests
It seems to us that the words, "He
was honest, he was capable," fits
his life exactly.
Judge Clendenin was born in
North Carolina forty-nine years
ago the past Monday. After finish
ing his literary education he was
graduated from a law school. He
came to Texas twenty-four years
ago and cast his lot in Rains coun
ty, taking up the practice of law,
his choseu profession. ( He soon
entered politics, being elected
county attorney first, then serv
ing six years as county judge, and
at the present time WAS holding
the county attorney's office. He
has held the position of local
school trustee a number of timer,
served during the war as county
food administrator and probably
done more patriotic war work than
any other citizen in the county.
He also at one time served as a
member of the State Democratic
Executive Committee from the
Fifth Senatorial district and at
present was county chairman of
the great American Red Cross.
He was a pillar in the Baptist
church. At the time of his death
he was holding three official posi
tions in his church, that of deacon,
treasurer and Sunday school Su
perintendent. Reserved bis coun
try and his church well in what
ever capacity it was his privilege
and honor to be placer by his
countrymen.
He vat married in 1898 to Miss
Emtna Settle of this city. To
them was born one son, who, with
his companion, survive him. Also,
he is survived by an aged mother
and a brother, back in the old
North Carolina home.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at the Baptist church Wednes
day evening by his pastor, Rev.
M. T. Tucker. The church was
artistically decorated and a very
large floral offering from the Sun
day school, other friends here and
from the Burleson College of
Greenville.
The remains were buried in the
City Cemetery abont 7 o'clock
with ceremonies by the Odd Fel
lows, of which order he WHS a
member.
The Leader joins with friends
in extending the bereaved com
panion and son our most sincere
sympathy.

The best way to know for yourself the superiority of tl»e "1
Brunswick Tire is to buy one and compare it.
That is, if the very name of Brunswick isn't sufficient proof
■to you, as it is to most men, that here is an extraordinary tire.
Thousands of men who have known the name of Brunswick ■ 3
for years, realize that a Brunswick Tire has to be the best

Long before the Overland Trail became famous, the House
of Brunswick was established. It was one of the chief user*
of rubber for fifty years before automobiles came into use.
No concern with such a history could afford to offer any*
thing but the best. For reputations are built slowlv. but can
