!
European or Asiatio proverb. It relates
to emperors and kings, but it will not do
here in America! To achieve greatness
| here, one must be born with health
natural capacity, and then in sobriety
and earnestness put himself in the way
| of proper culture.
! To show how emphatic the utility of
culture is, a few5x snarkable statistics
are at hand. The culture brought about
by a complete kR6wlsage of the law =,
puts almost the entIEs mkm bersnip of the
United States senate iIHthe hands of
lawyers. Again a fSaiHflg in the law g,
SO cultivates the intslIaSE, enlarges the
powers of thess5gIse md informs the
judgment, thatSS enables man to fill
reasonably well, on4San emergency,
almost any place; as Witness the general
officers of the army in tAe late civil war +,
when one-half of the grSernment gener-
ais were lawyers. And yet the more
successful generals, asrant, Sherman,
Sheridan and EsNeherseR had received a
special training est Point. In the
Confederate army ts4Tasathe same way
Lee, Stonewall JaSksen, and johnson
were graduates of wet Point.
How few of the presidents since Wash
ington that were not la7EEers? To aspire
to the presidency the sAaate, or diplo-
matte position ds.mustsEaEe mental cul-

KentucEB hos, furnished Lincoln the

beloved; Rpsntfeaass America s greatest
humorist; Tom MsskAalI, our greatest
orator, and Bseekenridge the
great preacher. THAis a wonder
full list. The PanHaAale country
has the same soil, same altitude, and in
about the same isothermaI zone The1
Panhandle has the finest wheat, contains
the largest per cent. Of gluten, out of
which bone and muscle is made, and the
largest per scent. of phosphates out of
whichlto form the brain materials.
- Now comes Iowa Park, to organize the

PANHANDLE COLLEGEs
With zeal and determination and a
laudable ambition to prepare the sons
of Northwest Texas to be presidents of
the United States, senators, diplomats
railroad magnates or generals of our
armies, should we ever be so unfortunate
ss to have a conflict with any European
or Asiatic nation.
FINE LOCATION
The advantages of this location are
very many. It is within a mile and a
half of the center of Wichita county,
"the,banner wheat county, It is in
the center of the best of the Panhandle
country. 1t is between the rapidly grow
ing cities of Vernon and Wichita Falls.
It lies between the fertile valleys of the
Red and Wichita rivers. It is in the
happy medium ground as regards lati-
tude.
NOT TOO HIGH! AND NOT TOO LOW!
Twelve hundred feet above the sea. It
does not rain too much for health, or too
little to be productive. Great wheat and
oat crops are grown, fair corn crops;
large peaches; large melons; excellent
vegetables.
Iowa Park is only 124 miles from Fort
Worth, and only 4OU miles from tide
water and the world IS market. With all
its advantages of health, production,
and good market, are to be added the
fact that it is about the center of that
"cream of Texas, - to which all Ameri-
can eyes are now directed. The growth
OF this section is now
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.
che trustees OF the college will on
sanrsday, April "a, 1890, put on sale at
auction some 200 lots at Iowa Park,s
which have been given to the buildinE6f
