Choctaw Extension to Amarillo Com.
pleted.

There is new direct line OF railway
frem Memphis to Denver, by way of
the Choctaw, the last rail Of the Anna
rillo extension having been laid at Var
nall on the Santa Fe crossing, TAB miles
west of Memphis. The town which is
thus signally distinguished is named for
Mr.. Il. E. Yarnall, the local treasurer
and purchasing agent of the Choctaw.
In short time the Chotaw will be rum
ming trains into Amarillo, Texas, the
present western terminus, $50 miles
from Memphis and 627 miles from Little
Rock, thus realizing more and more
the dream of the great promoter
of this splendid property, Col. Henry
Wood, for 35th parallel road. BY
August it Is confidently expected
that the extension will be opened up
from Sayre, I. T.. the point to which
trains are now running. This opens up
new ingress, direct to Denver, and it
Is believed that the Rock Island, which
will soon assume the active control OF
the property, will carry out the an
nounced policy of the Choctaw in ex'
tending the line TO Albuquerque N Nj.
and in all probabability eventually to
the Pacific coast. The growth OF this
system from a small coal road to Que OK

announcement that the last rail has

one Of the most important In the South

Governor Davis EXPELLED,

The Second Baptist church Of Little

he has been ''ilred from the church, -

ferred against the governor were sus-
tsined by q vote Of about one hundred

which WAS instiRated by committee Of

STYLISH FALL WALKING HAT
How rharactlrIs Shoun

Language may have been invented to
conceal Thought asc some cynic has
said. but the features were invented to
reveal it. And a great deal Of thought,
or character by which It is moulded. is
revealed in the chin.
A pointed chin signifies that person
is hard to please, from the sentimental
or matrimonial standpoint.
A person with a narrow, square chin
is apt to love unworthily or to marry
beneath him.
The broad, square chin denotes the
propensity OF earnest devotion, Of ar
dent love. and is usually accompanied
by great strength Of intellect. Faith
ful love or constancy is shown by the
broad round chin. The owner of such
chin is apt to be Of a sangulne temp
erament The indonted chin denotes
the desire to be loved. In a man It is
not an admirable sign, unless accom-
panied by other balancing qualities, as
it gives a lightly come and lightly go
disposition.
A large mouth is much more to be
desired for a man than a small one.
If teeth are long and not narrow the
owner has large, liberal views, strong
passions. and heroic virtues. Teeth that
are long and narrow belong to people
of weak character. II broad and short
strong mental powers are indicated
If close together the person has quick
intelligence. Evenly growing teeth
show a better disposition and better
developed mind than those that crowd
and overlap each other Teeth that pro
| iect outward show inquisitiveness; II
they project outward upon the lower
| lip the person possesses generosity. II
they turn inward the peKson Is penu-
rious. Where the upper teeth project
greatly over the lower ones, it shows
a unconditional nature. and a lower
order Of intellect. Vertical teeth rep
resent an even temper. The more the
teeth and gums are displayed in conver'
sation the less profound the mind
Teeth unusually pointed and sharI
show deprayed nature.
