A Company OF Local Business Man
-. Backed bv Eastern CaoI-
tallsts OVga mixed.


A strong company OF Lamar business
men has been organized and incorpornt-
ed for the purpose OF building beet
sugar factory at Lamar. The company
has the backing Of eastern capitalists
and will unquestionably make success
OF the undertaking. The articles OF in
corporation which were filed in Denver
today and also with the county clerk
here, call for the main office OF the com
pany at Lamar and its field OF operation
to be principally IN Prowers and Bent
counties.
This company is the outcome of the
efforts being made by our citizens to
secure this much needed enterprise. and
there Is every reason to expect substan-
tial developments in the near furture.
The men incorporating the new com
plny are w. G. Gould, A. E. Bent, L
Writ Markham, w. j. Johnston, j. S.
Hasty, c. c. Huddleston,J B. TRAILER,
d. B. Novels, NJ. STRAIN, N. N. Mclean
and I. H. Myers. The capital stock is
composed of 100000 shares of $40 each.
The objects OF the company are to build
and operate beet sugar factory, build
slicing stations and pipe lines, and also
an electric belt railroad. A petition will
be presented at the next meeting Of the
commissioners asking for grant Of a
right Of way for the electric railway
running from Lamar and taking in the
farming territory to our city.

Has the entertainment course been
satisfactory thus far? There have been
splendid audiences at least and they
have been thoroughly pleased. Three
numbers equally good remain. The
Schumann Ladies' Quartette of Chicago
is the next at the opera house Jan. 10th.
1t will be the best music Lamar. hears
this winter.
The revival meetings which have been
held at the Methodist church closed
Monday night. These meetings have
been enjoyed by many and have been
productive OF much good. Rev. Camp
bell will remain in Lamar until tomor
row morning when he takes the train
for Manzanola, where he begins a new
series Of meetings.
S. B. Faulkner came into town yester-
day and brought his good natured laugh
and force of habit Sam almost immed-
lately meandered up to the court house
and wanted to take charge of the coun-
ty clerks office, but John Curry would
not surrender claiming that his lease
had not yet expired and that we had no
Rush bill down this way.
The county clerk issued two marriage
licenses during the past week. The first
on December 90 to John w. Blakley and
Miss Carrie Woodcock. On December
%, one was issued to Louis Eilerts and
Miss Charity Meadows, and on oath to
Jesse J. Bates and Miss Margaret
G. Bowen. May ali the joys and
blessings Of life be with these young
couples and may all happiness remain
with them.
The Lamar Fire Department will give
Its annual ball tonight A great many
tickets have been disposed of, and there
will undoubtedly be large number of
dancers and spectators present. These
balls are always enjoyable, and the sale
OF the tickets brings in quite neat
sum to the treasury Of the fire laddies.
The ball Tonight will be no exception to
the rule and those who attend may ex
pect to have good time.
Rev. R. Oates will preach next Sun
day in the Methodist church. Morning
topic, ''What is it to be a Christian?'
In the evening the topic will be, God,
Our Rearward." The special services
just closed were quite successful. Over
thirty persons professed conversion to
Christ. Eight persons were received
by letter, four by profession of faith and
the others through conversion. Rev
J. F. Harris preached a splendid SER
mon on Tuesday night and held the
quarterly conference afterward: The
different reports submitted showed an
increase in every department-tinan-
cially numerically and spiritually. The
Methodist church in Lamar was never
in more prosperous condition than
now. You are cordially invited TO the
services next Sunday.

THE PA IENCF OF HOPE.
BY WILLIAM HAuGHToN.

When the patient heart is leaning.
Toward the light OF love divine.
Has it not happy roaming
Is it not hopeful sim?
Yes, we know that God is near us
Else we could not love the light,
And the knowledge ought to cheer us,
That He's leading us Alright.
Do not wony that advancement
Should be slow and hard To win
Growth of soul is not enhancement,
'Tis the Living Christ within.
There are lives which rlpeu slowly,
Like the fruits OF autumn u-tide;
Yet they reach the nigh and holy
Tho they seemed so long denied.
Many blooms not all the fairest,
Nourished by the sun and dew
Yielded fruit the richest, rarest--
Bow?--Ab friend, Love only knew.
Do not vex your soul with frettlng
For the light so long delayed
Fry little selfforgetting
And TO Others lend your aid.
There is strength, yes joy in serving,
Where It's under Loves control
Never from duty swervinE.
Godward lifts the patient soul.
