On the 18th inst. there will be
held in Amarillo, Texas, one OF
the most unique and enioya BILE
entertainments for the members
and for the general public that
has ever been held in the Pan
handle.
If you are not a Hoo Hoo or
have never attended banquet
given by them after a concaten
alton you do not know the tone
nearing of the word "fun"
This organization is composed
of the lumbermen of the country
together with a few newspaper
men and business men whose
dealings have a direct touch
with the lumber industry of the
country, and there are thous-
ands of them in this country.
They have all sorts of unique
names for their officers and
everything else connected with
themselves. Their symbol is a
black cat, and they call candi-
dates for initiation "kittens"
1t would not be proper to go
further into details as to the
"order" or "lodge" or council"
or whatever else they call them
selves; so suffice it TO say that
there will be a Hoo Hoo concat-
-enation together with their
usual street parade, followed by
a banquet in Amarillo, Texas,
on the night of October 18th.
For further information call
or address, M. Newman, Canyon
City, Texas, who will furnish
you with an application blank
for membership if you are eligi-
BILE.

BEVERLY OCTOBER, 3RD
We are still living, but it is n won
der after such shooting affrayas we
had last Sunday night. Some of oul
neighhOr boys have turned out to be
outlaws. They went to Mr..
Pietzsch's place and shot into his
yard ut his dogs; then they went by
Mrs. Jackson's and shot five or six
times. Not finding anything to kill
they went down to the company's
mill and shot up the tanks almost
running one with bullet holes. Now
then this ought to be stopped. 1t is
known who the little scamps are and
we think by the time Mr.. Pietzsch Is
through with them they will be sorry
they ever saw n pistol. Parents
ought to see that their boys don't
have pistols and they would not be
in somuch trouble about them.
