Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1907-09-27

Little Miss Lena Hall on last
Sabbath celebrated her sixth
birthday at her home, having a
lot of her friends present and
serving delicious ice cream and
cake. Master Merida Edwards,
four years old "a few days prior,
also participated in the joys of
the day.
Major Smith with a friend,
Dick Duke of Temple, out about
Gilleland Saturday let their
FLOODED mare take run of
some three miles with the buggy
while they stood and looked on
but did not admire. Enough was
left of the outfit, however, to
bring them back to town.
See the Eiler's Show display
announcement in another col
umn. These people were here
in 1905 with rip Van Winkle''
and last year with the King of
the Cattle Ring undoubtedly
two of the best tent shows ever
seen in Canyon City. Down
Mobile" to be given by them
Wednesday night, Oct. 9, is said
to be even better than their past
performances here and that is
saying a great deal.
The electric light plant, under
direction of II. d. Smith, is max
ing rapid progress. Mr.. Smith
informs The News that sixteen
candle power lights, four, five or
six of them say, for a residence
need not, when in ordinary use,
cost the owner more than S1.5C
per month. For a short time,
and in order to introduce the SyS.
TEN, the necessary wiring of
houses will be done free. See
the ad in this paper.
Major E. G.. Gordon is still talk
ing railroad at Silverton and at
Lockney. Tuesday of last week
in a public meeting at Lockney
he stated that the Santa Fe had
refused to build a branch line to
either place for a bonus equal to
the right-of-way and grade, but
that he would do so from Lock
ney provided the people would
pay him at the rate of $4,000 per
mile and whack up on a reason
able division of unimprOved town
property and land adjacent to
town. Nice thing-for Major
Gordon.

Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1907-09-27

TO believe that Amarillo is to
get the trans continental line of
the Santa Fe- Chicago to San
Francisco-is to believe that a
great trunk line railroad with
able and active rivals in the same
field will go four miles out of its
way; that this same railroad will
accept worse grade; that it will
also eXpend a quarter of a million
of dollars extra for water for it's
shops and in addition enough
more to keep the water coming
to operate an entire division; that
it is willing to expend at least
so, 900 more per year to run
over and keep up this additional
four miles and all this for the
sake of going to Amarillo.

went away, without thinking any thing about It."
 The couple decided to make the best of the situation, and the young lady prepared luncheon which was merry feast indeed. Dorothy Crusoe and Man Friday be- came wonderfully well acquainted, and somehow the acquaintance ripen. ed into fast friendship. After luncheon two merry and light hearted young people went for walk, and went for row, and somehow or other their friendship lost its imper. sonal character and they became deep. ly interested in each other as especial individuals.
 Although 1t was five o'clock, the Glenns had not yet returned. T wish they would come," said the girl. with a sudden feeling of embar- rassment. which she couldn't exact ly explain herself.
 Dorothy" said Hugh. taking her hand in his, and speaking rather i gravely, "the situation is growing a little bit serious. I have thought so for an hour or more, but 1 hated to alarm you. You see, the Glenns' au. tomobile has an incurable habit of breaking down. and should 1t do so today, they will not know the abso. lute necessity of hurrying home, and may delay their return till-till-late." "
 You don't mean" and Dorothy's brown eyes grew troubledA"you don't mean they mightn't come back till- i till to-morrow!"
 That's about the size of it." said Masterson, with an attempt at gay i ety.
 i Perhaps the tears that came into the brown eyes at these words precip. itated Masterson's next move, but un- repulsed. he took Dorothy in his arms and softly whispered:
 Wont you leave it all to me, dear? Won't you trust me to take care of you now-and always?"
 And Dorothy said she would.
 After a time-and. as the time was nearly eight o'clock-they concluded that they might give up all hope of seeing the Glenns that night
 And so." said Masterson, Man Fri. day will find horse and trap. and will manage some way to harness them together and take Dorothy Cru soc to the village. There. there is a comfortable if not very elaborate inn, where you shall stay over night. and, indeed. until the Glenns do re. turn. and I'll come back here and keep the house safely against the homecoming.
 ] Dorothy agreed to these most prac- tical plans. and they would have been speedily carried out. but just as Mas terson started for the stables to act as his own groom. an automobile came ehugging up the driveway. and the Glenns had returned.

 Well. you see. all the servants left at once. The cook, waitress and coachman, who were all of one family, being a man and his wife and daugh. ter, were found wanting in the some what necessary virtue of honesty, and Mrs. Glenn was obliged to dismiss the trio. They departed early this morn ing, and immediately after we all started off in the automobile to bring new servants from the city. was with the party, but when we stopped at the village post office for mail, I found letter asking me for some sketches as yet unfinished, so gave up the outing and dutifully returned to the house to do my work.

Catarrh Viotims snsoentible.

CaCarrn Victims Susceptible.
People who have had catarrh of the
head, throat, nose or lungs are much
more liable to catch the grip than other
people.
The reason for this is that the mucous
membranes Of the head, nose, throat or
lungs are injured by the catarrh and
the germs which cause the grip find
easy entrance into the system.
1t is a well established fact that per-
fectly sound mucous membranes consti-
tute a barrier to the entrance of disease
germs.
The best precaution any one can have
against the grip is to be perfectly free
from catarrh.
Peruna a Preventive.
As preventive of grip, Peruna has
done a great deal of good in the world
by its beneficial effect upon the mucous
membranes.
Catarrh has another untoward in
the grip.
Victims Of catarrh who have had the
grip find themselves after the acute
stages have passed, in very weakened
and deplorable conditions.
After-Efects of Grip.
The whole nervous system is i'm
paired; the digestive organs deranged +;
the circulation Of the blood feeble and
irregular. All these symptoms are pro-
duced, more or less, by the grip, and
| especially in people who have had ca
tarrh previous to the grip.
