Damaged and Imperfect
Gloves, 1Oc and 35c
(Basement)

1t is not often that an imperfect skin
creeps in among our fine glace and suede
gloves-but accidents will happen Such
gloves are always brought back to us to
redeem our guaranty
Occasionally, too, light colored gloves
grow soiled on the edges from handling or
displaying on the counter.
Collecting the total of the year gives US
between three and four thousand pair TO
dispose Of TO-DAY.

brtoes sOers CSC 10 $1.S5.
Many women will be glad to have them to
sweep in, or to keep off sunburn. The fine black
kid gloves are we'll worth repairing.
We cannot afford to sell these gloves
twice over, and those who contemplate
returning today's purchases will please not
buy.

Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1904-01-01

We start on the new year with
renewed energy and our first
ann will always be to print the
news, aud in doing so we shall
continue to tell the truth as near
as is consistent with good health,
except in wedding and funeral
notices. When a couple get
married, no matter how homely
or frowsy the bride may be, she
will appear in these columns as
a model of beauty, style and fe-
male loneliness and L general
social favorite: and the groom,
who really cuts mighty little
figure at a wedding anyway,
will be mentioned as a capable
and promising young man, etc,
although he may not have mon
ey or credit enough to buy the
necessary fannels for the first
baby. When Il man dies, he
will always have been a good
father or Il kind husband-un-
less he happens to be bache-
lor-a pillar of the community
and one whose loss will be ire
parable.
There are many reasons why
the people of the Panhandle
should lay hold of the golden
opportunities that present them
selves with the opening of the
new year and the best plan is to
enter it with a resolve to be hap
w aud a resolve to carry out
the resolution. The Joy and
prosperity of the year depends
in measure upon the spirit Of
the individual.
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1904-01-01

In this issue of the News appears
the announcement of J. A. Tate,
for the office of County and Dis
trict Clerk, subject to the will of
the voters at the coming November
election. Mr.. Tate is at present a
resident of the Lair school district,
having moved to this country from
Collin county some two years 30.
Though we are but slightly &C
quainted with Mr.. Tate, we feel
safe in saying, afterreceiving "gilt-
edge" recommendations from his
friends, that should he be elected
to the office to which he aspires,
his qualifications would not be
questioned. Though he was de-
prived of the use of one of his limbs
early in life, Mr.. Tate informs us
that he has followed the avocation
of farming for the past 81 years
quite successfully. He invites the
voters to investigate his past record
as citizen, and as to his qua!ifica-
tons and is quite content to make
the race on merit al one.

A prosperous and happy
New Year to every reader
of the News!
FOR THE NEW YEAR.

This is the first issue OF the
News for the year 1904 AS we
look back over the better part
of last year that has been spent
in Canyon City, we cannot but
feel thankful in our hearts that
it has been our good fortune to
be one Of you, in spite of the
fact that our personal business
interests have not, perhaps, like
your own, been a bed of roses.
In taking an inventory of our
past career in the newspaper
business, we can realize that we
have made many mistakes and
feel confident that if we could
travel the road again with the
replenished knowledge that has
accompanied our endeavors to
please the public, we might pos
sibly avoid some of the errors
which have Internationally been
made. We expect to profit from
this experience and We hope it
will be generally beneficial to
the public.
During our short stay in your
midst, we have become interest
ed in the town and county and
its good people. We have be-
come so absorbed in the enter
prises that promise the town a
healthy development that our
whole being is engaged in the
purpose Of at some time being
able to look back over our past
efforts and say that our endeav
Ors have not proven futile.
The prime object IN our com
ing to Canyon City was to make
some money. We have been in
the newspaper business for a
number of years, and while we
have had lots of fun we haven't
laid up many treasures on earth,
and have been too busy to pay
a great deal of attention to our
account in the other world, so
we may say to you confidential
ly that we are COMPOUNDED poor.
We want to make a living and
lay up little money, and that
is why we are here.
But it should be remember
that Rockefeller ism t as rich as
he would like to be, perhaps,
and that the price OF Standard |
oil may be scarcely high enough !
TO meet educational require.
ments. 1t should also be re-
membered that Carnegie is wor-
rying about plans to get rid of
his money; that Root isn't GER
tain whether Roosevelt is a good |
subject for campaign manage
ment; that Kratz is homesick
away down in Mexico. and that
other people are unhappy, more
or less. President Roosevelt
and Mark Hanna declare that
this is glorious country, and
that the Republican party is the
glory keeper, so what's the use
"f worrying about the present
Dr The future;
