TRIBUTE TO TEACHERS
 WHO HAVE DIED.
Resolutions Adopted by County
 Teachers Institute.
The Committee on Obituary reported as follows:

And with his sickle keen
 He cuts the bearded wheat at a breath
 And the flowers that grow between"
 It IS with unusual sadness that the teachers of W ashington County note the absence of our beloved eo-worker, Prof. N. F. Gates, who for almost half cen- tury was an earnest laborer in the holy cause of education.
 On account of feeble health he was not permitted to be with us for some time before his death, yet he told us his thoughts and prayers ever followed us in our institute and school work. Many of us remember his kind gently face and loving fatherly advice. Let us never forget his Christ like injunction, Be patient and forgiving with the erring one
 AS the Hon. Joseph M. Hill has said: ITO him, education without moral force was as sounding brass and tinkling cyn bals.
 II. Henry l.. Cannon was born in Washington County, Arkan sas, and educated in the public free schools of this state.
 He began teaching in 1905 at Heads Ford and continued for three years one of the most popu- lar and successful members of Washing ton County profession. A man of irreproaehable char acter and noble purpose, he was universally loved by his pupils and patrons.
 In the summer of 1908, he viS- ited Colorado for his health. but after an absence of some months, obtaining no relief, he found 1t necessary to abandon the idea of teaching and returned to his home.
 After his arrival home he con- tinued to decline in health, sur- rounded by friends and relatives who ministered to him while he fingered on earth. After several weeks among those he loved, death claimed him and thus de- prived Us of d true and noble nan conscientious teacher and trusted friend.
 Mr. Cannon was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and one of the most jealous brethren of the Spring Valley Lodge.
 III. The Grammar School of Springdale sustained an irrepar- able loss III the death of their principal, Prof. $. D. Wood.
 He had been an educator for thlrty-tive years and although he had been in the Springdale schools for only one year, he had in that short time endeared him. self to the hearts of the people.
 ". Since We last met in In- stltute work the Reaper, whose name IS Death. has entered our ranks and claimed for his own, one who none knew but to love Miss Pearle Martin, whose life, as pure as the unfallen snow, has shed its sweet influence around us as the fairest lilies that bud, bloom, and wlther, leave their fragrance on the dewey air at eve.
 Lovingly we lay this spray of forget-me-nots on her tomb.
 V. On April 6th, the great Reaper visited the ranks of our profession and called 10 her re- ward Miss Johh Mount, of Elm Springs. In the loss of Miss Mount we humbly bow to the will of Him who does all things we'll and realize that her pres ence and influence will be great ly missed among her host of friends. Miss Mount was a con- scientious and painstaking teach CT who was highly esteemed by her pupils.

The Weather

Down here in this dry" state
of Texas We have been enjoying
ideal weather since our last re-
port and by ideal weather we
mean that we have had sufficient
rain, plenty of sunshine and good
growing weather for the crops.
Rains have been intermingled
with beautiful days and the far
mers have been staying on their
lands tending their crops.
Speaking of rains, we have had
more rain during the month of
June this year than for any June
in the past thirty-three years
and, should we not have any
more rain for the next four
months there is sufficient mois-
ture now in the ground to insure
bounteouS crops of milo maize,
katfir corn and forage crops.
Randall county is doing we'll this
year, thank you.

Texas As Il Is.

We had a letter some time ago
from a party in Kentucky max
ing inquiries as TO class of peo-
pie that inhabit West Texas.
From the trend of his inquiries
the gentleman evidently thinks
the days of Indian massacres
are not over in this country and
that the fictitious tales of the
wild and woolly west" are as
true as gospel. Among other
things, he wishes to know if the
cowboys give much trouble with
their wild and reckless behavior.
We hated TO knock the props
from under his ideal, imaginary
cowboy outlaw. but we We're com
PEELED to inform him that the
cowboys of West Texas today is
of the educated country gentle
man type and as a rule as well
acquainted with and as ready to
regard the rule of good society
as are his neighbors in old Ken
lucky; that the cOwman of West
Texas never was and never can
be surpassed in hospitality, in
liberality and gentlemanly be-
havior: that, in short, Texas as a
whole is populated with refined
and highly cultured class of peo-
pie whose social qualifications
will compare favorably with the
people Of any state in the union.
1t is strange, indeed, that there
are still people in the east who
insist on believing that West
Texas is the home of outlaws and
bandits and that a man who
comes here leaves civilization far
behind. -Shafter Lake Herald.

HEALTH OR SICKNESS?

There seems to be very little
interest manifested in the forth
coming city election in which it
is to be determined whether or
not we shall jeopardize our lives
henceforth or shall take steps
looking to the betterment of the
city for all time to come. We
have reference to the election to
be held on 10Th instant relative
to waterworks and sewerage
bonds. Just at this time the
eyes of the entire state is turned
toward Canyon City on account
of the great fight she is making
for the location of the West Tex
as State Normal college which is
to be decided in a short time and
the outcome OF this election will
no doubt have a great deal to do
with the determination of the 10
cation Of that school. Even
should the school not be located
here il would advance the health
fulness of the city to such an eX-
tent that it will pay the citizens
of the town well. If you doubt
that some of the outhouses of
this city are filthy just come and
take a look with the editor. He
will show you something that
will amaze you if you have not
investigated. Our water is daily
being polluted and as the city
grows it gets worse. Some peO-
pie may say they are no. going
to vote for the proposition be-
cause the system will not reach
their individual places. God help
such people They cannot see
that it wou.d oe but a short time
until their particular street
would be 50 well populated that
necessity would demand that the
system be extended to them.
Such an excuse is puerile in the
extreme and shows a great lack
of investigation.
Some time ago in discussing
this matter. writer in these col /
umns stated that the issuance /
of bonds would eventually place /
the city in the hands of a reciev-
er as a number of other cities /.
of the state have been placed.
The editor Investigated the mat |
ter and has in his office a letter |
from the Attorney Generals de-
partment at Austin in which it |
is stated that their records do
not show that a single city or
town in the entire state had been |
placed in the hands of receiver
on account of any bonds having
been issued by any such city or
town. 1t would not place the |
city in a position to be placed in
the hands of receiver-it would
but tend to upbuild the town so
that there need be no fear of any
such calamity.
1t is full time that something
should be done or it will be
brought to our notice that every
single town in the Panhandle is |

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.


II there is anything under the sun
the germologists have not put their
ban upon we would like to know what
1t is. kissing is condemned on the
ground that disease turks in every
kiss, and. in the matter of food, we
must not eat the succulent lettuce or
other raw vegetables because insidious
germs crawl In multitudes upon their
surface. But the cruelest blow Is that
given the "old oaken bucket" out of
which our forefathers slalsed their
thirst and which poets have glorified.
1t still survives in many a we'll, but
from henceforth let no one who values
his life drink from II, for on every
square inch of Its anoss covered sides
millions Of germs flourish. But, then,
who wants to live II all the poetry as
well as the prose is taken out OF life.
Incidentally one wonders that any OF
our forefathers lived to reach q green
