been changed.
The proposed legislative declaration
that article 27 shall not be construed
as retroactive was of peculiar interest
here, since it was upon that point
the United States chiefly insisted in
its sug. --1.I n ‘.'-.at a treaty of anuity
and commerce be signed. President
Obregor held that he had no right to
sign such a treaty prior to the recog
nition of his government.
Officials would throw no light on
the report from Mexico City that
Charge Summerlin had presented a
new communication from this Govern
ment to the Mexican foreign office.
The impression was given that there
had been an intercharge of personal
letters between Presidents Harding
and Obregon and of the character of
these, officials, as a matter of course,
declined to talk. It was a=serted
authoritatively, however, that the as
sumption of the Mexico City press
that there had been no change in the
attitude of the United States as to
recognition was correct.

to the Legislature, recommended this
office to be abolished. An effort to do
so was made and the Legislature, not
only refused, but made a specific ap
propriation, after considerable debate,
to maintain the department. The Gov
ernor, however, has the last say and
can kill the office by vetoing the
appropriation.

The entertainment given Friday
night by Miss Sybil Blair, was a
most enjoyable affair and easily one
of the best little social events of the
season. A bountiful supper being
served in the spacious dining room

was highly enjoyed by all who were
present. Among the invited guests
were: Norman Faire, Edwin Wells,
and sister, Miss Ruby, Mrs. Neva
Hawkins and daughter, Tommy and
Homer Brinkley and sister, Walter
and Miss Ada Robinson and many
others that we can not name now.

farm homes in Decatur county. And,

young men, had the misfortune Sat

Listen Gentlemen! Little quiet
Faceville, has one of the very best
High Schools and board of teacher®
