PROSPEROUS PANHANDLE.
Money and People Needed to
Develop Its Resources.

The following article, clipped
from the Higgins News, is full
of truth concerning the Panhan-
dle-the coming garden spot OF
the southwest:
The Texas Panhandle country,
heretofore considered by the
"down eaSternerS' as barren
and desolate country, is now
getting good share of advertis-
ing in eastern newspapers and
men who have been so reckless
of their own personal safety as
to venture into this SO called
desolate region have been happi-
ly disappointed. Instead of
finding a barren country they
have found just the opposite, a
rich and beautiful country with
land selling rapidly. They have
carried the word back to their
relatives, they have told them
of the richness of the soil, of the
numerous fields of waving wheat
of the great herds of lowing
cattle, of the many streams of
pure water, the abundance of
grass, the pleasant climate, the
generous people-all these things
until d different impression
has been made. They now have
different idea concerning the
plains of the Panhandle than
heretofore entertained. Those
"down easterners" have listened
to the stories of their friends
who have been here to see for
themselves and have concluded
that this is promise land" a
country where their children
can settle down in contentment
and their children's children
can reap the benefits, the privi-
leges, the wealth and the educat-
ional facilities of the outgrowth
of a great country. Daniel
Webster, one Of the greatest OF
American statesmen, advanced
the idea in a speech made by
him in the city of Boston many

BAPTIST COLLEGE TALK.
1t Would Be Hard To Tell BY The Newspapers Which
Town Is Best Suited For Its Location.
Hall County News.

Hall County News.
The Clarendon Chronicle says
the report put out by a Mem
phis paper that Mrs. Adair had
subscribed $4,000 COR the Bap-
tist college at Clarendon is a
mistake.
That's what we lowed. The
fact that Mrs. Adair is a Metho
dist and refused to put up a
cent for the Methodist College
made the story sound little
thin. However it seems to us
that as she made her money out
of Donley county she might
spend a little of it there.
Now that the Hereford College
aud Industrial School has been
formally turned over to the
Christian church of Hereford.
let's all pull together and see
that it is completed in time for
the opening next fall. The un-
certainty of the status of the
college has caused many to be
backward about investing in the
enterprise, but now that point
is settled and there should be
no difficulty in pushing the
project through to successful
elimination. Cooperation on
the part of all the citizens is all
that is necessary. If each one
would invest but one tenth of
the financial benefit he would
receive by the opening of the
college next fall it would be
built in a hurry. Hereford
Brand.
We copy the above to show
the struggle Hereford has had,
and is now having with the col.
lege she already has on foot.
Hereford has done nobly and
is to be commended, but she can
hardly be considered compel
itor for the Baptist college when
the one she already undertook
came so near falling through,
and perhaps would have done
so, had not the Christian church
people assumed the responsible
t. tor its completion. We say
this without any intent to reflect
on Hereford, but sometimes
town will get too many irons in
the fire.-Clarendon Chronicle.
1t seems to us that the Chroni-
Gle in setting forth the reasons
why Hereford should not be
considered in the race for the
Baptist College, in the above
article sizes up the situation in
his own town pretty well. The
Chronicle should remember that
Clarendon college is just barely
across the rubican and has now
reached point where if the
people of Clarendon will all
"pull" together they can make
a splendid success of it and
make of it an institution OF
which not only Clarendon but
the entire panhandle will be
proud. On the other hand Clar-
endon College like Add-Ran
College is a denominational
school and should another de-
nominational school be located
I'm Clarendon, then and there
the wedge of discussion would
be entered and neither school
could be the success that an in
st;tution of this kind should be.

the coldest but the longet win,

To my readers it may seem
strange that this does not freeze

must confess that tits a mystery.
To me this is the most uufavor

by which they can prevent los.

both the good and bad. They
tramp day in and day out, their
