There will be services at the
Catholic church Sunday. All
members are requested to come.
There was a large crowd at the
school house Monday night to en-
joy the sociable and entertainment
given by Mr.. Shows pupils. Nearly
every neighboring school was repre-
sented. The program was good
and we judge the supper was by
the amount that was stored away,
and they wasn't all bachelors
either. A good cup Of coffee was
served by the ladies of the district.
There were not nearly enough ties
to accommodate the gents present,
but they all paid their Is cents and
got just as much pleasure out of
the evenings enjoyment. A neat
little sum was realized which will
go toward necessary articles for
the school house.
Mr.. Bond and family and Miss
Hazel Montgomery, of Beach were
guests Of F. j. Snow and family,
they also attended the entertain
ment and supper at the Egan school
house.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. D. Page were

SHORT STORIES {.
TAKEN FROM REAL LIFE
IA

nave raised my last stalk Of cot
ton, declared farmer-nO, not q
farmer, but just a little cotton planter
the other day.
Inquiry showed that the above cot
ton planter had quite an Interestingly
varied history running back some five
or six years-beyond that we do not
investigate. Six years he was serving
his community in the capacity of
keeper Of a little general store in a
small country hamlet. When trade
was dull, which was the case about
three fOurths Of the time, he dispensed
agricultural wisd ON to loafers on the
street corners. He was very emphat-
&c in expressing his idea that all
farmers are fools and that they
did not deserve to get along any bet
ter In the course Of a few months,
or about the middle Of the winter, the
the one-time merchant and dispenser
Of agricultural wisdom concluded to
show the old farmers how to farm
without cotton. The store was swap
ped for a farm of 100 acres. about
Gne-half of which was cleared. OF the
cleared land some twenty acres was
enclosed By a barbed wire fence, three
wires high, and named the pasture"
In this case "the PASTURE was a place
more free from grass than the average
cotton field last June. Stock raising
was to be the channel through which
this agricultural Solomon would give
life to his wisdom A bunch Of scrub
cattle, some fifteen in number, was in
troduced to this pasture in which no
grass, but an abundance Of opportuni
ty and hope seemed to grow These
items did not furnish a great deal Of
| nutriment to even scrub cattle.
In the meantime the other thirty
acres was planted, a little in cotton
and corn and the balance in peas and
|
crops. The pasture ran short in early
summer. The cattle crowded through
fence, and as the cowpeas and sor-
ghum were not making much growth
this ex-merchant and dispenser Of ag-
ricultural wisdom decided to let them
and the cattle mix. 1t is unnecessary
to write the results.
AS fall approached a blacksmith
shop in town was rented, and for the
next two years the eX-merchant dis
penser of agricultural wisdom, ex-
farmer, shod mules and set tires,
while two negroes ran his farm.
Then another hitch was taken at
the farm. This time cotton was to be
the great crop. No land was too good
for cotton, none too poor. everything
in cotton. The 1908 crop showed 20
bales for the fifty acres. No money
lost that year and none made-1909
was to be an all cotton year also. The
crop now SHOWS Tor ABOUT Twelve DdieS
and it may possibly make thirteen or
| fourteen bales. The ex-merchant and
so, and so, and so. is about ready to
make another change or add another
'ex'' to his list of title.
The man had been 50 accustomed to
giving advice and felt so sure that he
| knew all that was worth knowing
about farming the he had no place for
the wisdom, advice or experience OF
others. His neghbors write him "a
failure" his wife is ION the Warpath,
and he is on the run. He is not go
ing to raise any more cotton, either

Wednesday, September 1st, at
4 p. M, at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. James
of Ceta, Texas, Mr.. H. B. Wesley
and Miss Tennie Elizabeth James
were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Standing under a
bower of trees the young couple
listened to the beautiful and i'm
pressive words of the marriage
service delivered by the Rev. DR..
J. D. Cook of Tulia, Texas.
The bride was was attired in a
lovely gown Of white silk and
lace. The popularity of Mr. and
Mrs. Wesley, who are among the
younger set of Ceta society, was
attested by the large gathering
of relatives and friends who
crowded the residence and
grounds, over one hundred and
fifty being present to tender their
well wishes.
Immediately after the cere-
mony magnificent supper was
served. Fruits and all the deli
cacies of the season were in
abundance. The bridal cake en-
twined with a wreath of white
forget-me-nots, was triumph of
the caterers art. The bride was
the recipient of a large number
of beautiful and appropriate
presents. Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley
are undecided at present as to a
location, but it is to be hoped
they will remain with US.

has interfered in any manner
whatever with the deliberations
of the committee is untrue and
unjust. The state board of edu-
cation was invited into consulta-
ton with the locating committee
touching a question of the cor
rect Interpretation of the law
under which the West Texas
normal was created. Governor
Campbell stated in the joint ses-
sion of the committees and to
different members of the board
personally that he had perfect
confidence in the judgment and
integrity of the locating board
and that its decision, whatever
it might be, would be sustained
by him. He stated furthur that
he approved the careful manner
in which the locating board had
gone about it's duties and that he
was satisfied that the state would
be well served whatever the
committees decision might be.
He insisted that he had no pre-
ference among the towns and
desired not to offer any advice to
any member of the committee.
The statement in the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, over an Austin
date of Sept. |. purporting to
give the attitude of the board to-
ward different competing towns,
and mentioning Governor Camp
bell and Senator Hudspeth in
relation to the deliberations of
the locating committee, does the
governor, Senator HudSpeth and
each member of the locating
committee serious injustice, be-
cause the statement is made in
ignorance and at variance with
the facts as they exist. We
think it only just and fair to all
concerned that we make this

ported to give information con

CITIZENS OF PLAINS COUNTRY CONGREGATE
HERE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT TO HELP
IN MAGNIFICENT JUBILEE.
Old Time Experience Meeting is Result and Night is
Spent in Joyous Enthusiasm-Much Noise, Joy
and Good Cheer Reign Supreme.

on the public square where near
ly every citizen of the town was
gathered to help celebrate.
Speaking of the entertainment
the Daily Panhandle of Amarillo
had the following report:
Despite the fact that it was
Canyon City's greatest crowd,
and that it called together not
only the entire population of the
city, but many from neighboring
cities and towns, there was moth
ing but joy and gladness, hearty
welcome and good cheer. There
was nothing to even indicate that
in all the Panhandle country
there is such a thing as a hood
lum, a crook or even a crank. 1t
is unfortunate that all the people
of Amarillo and the Panhandle
as a whole might not have been
present. There was a joyousness
readily infectious and it is of
that quality that is slow to wear
off.
Speakers stand and seats ar
ranged for accommodating the
vast number were placed on the
north side of Randall county's
elegant new court house. This
structure was ablaze with light
from basement to dome, pouring
in mellow streams from doOrwayS
and windows. The outside light
ing making the entire court
plaza almost as bright as noon
day.

HON. j. X. BOWMAN

Representative j. Il. Bowman
addressed himself to the assem-
bly, as a friend, claiming that
right, and receiving response
showing that he held a happy
place in the hearts of the people.
The speech was opened with a
pleasing ganecdote, andalittle later
Mr.. Bowman gave in oratoric
and his Characteristic style the
boundaries of the Panhandle, the
Modern America" " Canyon
City was styled the Minerva of
the Plains, from which Gabriel
shall blow his horn. Amarillo
and all the Plains country de-
clared Mr.. Bowman, contest
with Canyon City this honor to-
night. They feel that they have
won equally with her, and they
are happyand appreciative of the
prize here secured" "
This is the first gift at the
hands of the state of Texas to the
Panhandle country, but it will
be far from the last. The county
of Randall and Canyon City pay
into the Golfers of the state thous-
ands of dollars and only draws
about $1,000 therefrom for edu-
cational purposes. Oldham coun.
ty pays into this state 50, 131 and
only gets S230.00 in return fol
educational purposes, the re
mainder of the money going t.
other sections of the state"

'Hurrah for Canyon City," was
the unanimous Cry of Amarillo's
delegation of approximately two
hundred persons as they unload
ed from the special Santa Fe
train yesterday evening at the
home of the West Texas State
Normal.
"Hurrah for Amarillo" was
the response echoed from an even
greater array of happy men and
women.
This was the Introductory,
and almost before the Amarillo
party knew what was happening,
rapid flight along Canyon City's
pretty streets in autos furnished
free was in progress, and soon
all stood in the glare of the count
less electric lights. were the
blast of anvils, volleys from guns
and sweet music made a con-
glomerate sound indicative of
joy. of life, of action.
Glad hurrahS rang out from
every side-Canyon City as hos
tess to visitors from every sec
tion of the Plains country was
so laden with joy that she with
lavish hand disseminated it free
ly to all, and if there was even a
sour thought when the borders
of municipality was reached it
was banished as something un-
clean and unfit for participation
in that joyous occasion"
The above clipping from the
Daily Panhandle of Amarillo eX-
presses the sentiments which
prevailed in this city last Friday
and during the entire evening
when this city celebrated in a
betitting the great event
which had taken place in its his
tory. People from all the sur
rounding country were here and
they came to help celebrate, not
the victory of Canyon City and
Randall county alone, but the
victory of the greatest portion of
the great State of Texas, the
Plains. And they came with eX
pressions of congratulations to
our little city because of the fact
that it won over twenty seven
other good towns and had won
the battle after weeks of work.
1t was a great time that the
people had here last Friday night.
Great for number of reasons.
1t was the beginning of a new
era in the history of the town;
great because it showed what
could be done by a town when
they are united upon a PROPOSE
ton; great because it tended to-
ward strengthening the bonds
which join the sister cities of the
entire Plains and Panhandle coun-
try into a sympathetic union for
the advancement of the interests
of the Panhandle; great because
it marked the beginning of state
recognition of the greatness of
our country; great because it was
the beginning of an educational
awakening such as has never be-
fore been seen in the history of
Texas.
Prominent people from all the
adjacent territory had been in
vited to come and they did, eSpe-
cially so from Amarillo because
it took passenger train of seven
cars to bring those who attended
from that city. Citizens of the
surrounding counties came dur
ing the day and the special train
from Amarillo arrived about 6
o'clock and was met at the depot
by citizens with autos and the
band by whom the visitors were
