HOLIDAY GOODS ARRIVING.
Merchants Are Stocking Up With Nice Array Of
Articles For the Annual Celebration.

The merchants of the city have
always had great confidence in
the prosperity of the people in
general and this is clearly shown
as the Christmas time appears
each year when the stocks OF
presents and toys are displayed
for the benefit of the public.
This season there has been an
unusual amount of confidence
and a person who desires to re-
member kinfolks, sweetheart or
friend need go no further than
any one of the stores in this city
where such goods are handled.
From what this reporter has
seen of the stocks that are now
being opened and placed on dis
play the variety is greater than
has ever before been bought for
the local market, and the general
tone of quality has been i'm
proved.
odd Santa need have no fear
but that there will be something
for each person but the main
trouble will be when he delays
his selection until too late. Ger
tainly there will be no excuse in
this country for an empty stock

HEREFORD DRAMATIC COMPANY.
Amatuer Company From Sister City Gives En-
tetaining Play at Opera House.

Though the play had not been
very thoroughly advertised, the
Hereford Dramatic Company was
greeted by large crowd at the
opera house last Friday night
when they presented a rural
comedy of the western plains en-
titled, Jim Burley's Ranch"
This company was composed
almost entirely of local talent
from our sister city of Hereford
and despite the fact that one of
the leading men in the play was
unfortunate enough to miss the
train in coming up that after
noon, the members of the com
pany proved themselves worthy
and energetic, and by shifting
the cast of characters somewhat
gave the play anyhow. The com
pany being composed of anna
tuers the assembled crowd was
willing to make some excuses
for any mishap, but these eX-
cuses for the company were not
necessary because the company
gave a much better rendition of
their very interesting story than
even the most optimistic had eX-
pected.
1t would be hard for anyone to
single out the best character for
the reason that each person in
his regular assignment in the
play seemed to well fitted for the
part assigned.
An orchestra composed of
some of the musicians of the city
was present and assisted in the
performance, playing the over
lures before the curtain raised
and during the intermissions be-
tween the acts. 1t would be well
to mention that Wesley Sturdey
sang several songs which elected
an encore each time, which
clearly shows that they were APP
preciated.

Don't Be Discouraged.

That's a fool remark, isn't it:
Well, if the writer didn't believe
he was pretty well conversant
with the situation he wouldn't be
guilty of this platitude. The
point is, that some of our farm
ers have lost two good chances
this year for a cotton crop, and
now find themselves up against
a proposition" We will start
out by saying that this situation
is mighty bad. That doesn I
help matters any, then what?
The tendency among most men
when they find themselves in a
close place is to get out, no mat
ter how, but to get out. And
many men in a wild scramble to
get out of what they considered
a bad proposition have lost the
savings of years. besides money
they owed to men who were in
no way to blame for their mis-
fortune. Oftentimes the place to
make your money again is where
you lost it. There are disad-
vantages about any place in the
world. In some respects an
other country might be better,
and in many respects it might
be worse. Some other occupa-
ton might have disadvantages as
well as the one which you are in.
In making a move of any kind
there is always a cost to count,
and their ought to be a gain in
view before it is made. You have
the situation in hand where you
are, and with change you might
be more at sea than ever. In
fact, when everything is counted
more often than otherwise you
will do well to remain where you
are and make the best of a bad
situation.
Not all our country is hurt and
the southern and eastern parts
will make the loss on our crop
from the west easier on all part
les. 1t is also rare that cotton
