Afford FOrsha is a thrifty and indus
triOus eOlored man who lives a few
miles east of this place. One day last
week he sent his son to WelbOrn with
his horse and buggy. The horse was
hitehed near Mr.. A. W. MeLersn's
horse lot, around which q great many
chickens use. A nice, large yellow
hen with q tOp-knOt decided she would
like to lay in FOrsha's buggy. She
few up and seereted herself under the
seat. When the boy was ready to go,
he did not discover the hen; when near
home, however, having laid, she made
herself known. The boy did not under
stand the situation, though, and thought
perhaps she was in the buggy when he
left home. After learning the incident
Afford looked at her henship, and in
comparing her with other fowls in his
poultry yard, discovered that none Of
his possessed a tOp-knOt. Thinking
perhaps that she came from WelbOrn,
he brought her in last Saturday to as
certain her rightfnl owner. She was
identified as belonging in Mr.. McLeran's
lot, and when released, seemed delight
ed to be with her companions once
more.

Rheumatism.
Press Reporter.

More than nine out of every ten cases
of rheumatism are simply rheumatism
of the muscles, due to cold or damp, or
chronic rheumatism. In such cases no
internal treatment is required. The
free application of Chamberlain's Lini-
ment is all that is needed, and it is GER
tain to give quick relief. Giveit a trial
and see for yourself how quickly it re-
ieves the pain and soreness. The med
ieines usually given internally for rheu-
matism are poisonous or very strong
medicines. They are worse than use
less in cases of chronic and muscular
rheumatism. For sale by Barclay &
Grower, druggists.

About Texas and the Good Year 1909.

Texas, and, in fact, all this
great Southwestern country,
opens in the morning new
years box of goodies and de-
lights. The truth is that no part
of the United States has any
Pandora box to disappoint it
this time. The blessings are
substantial and are of staying
quality. While the offer of peace
and prosperity for the coming
year is general, it really seems
that the people of this new, rich
and prosperous Southwest have
the best of it. The prospects
for Texas are especially hopeful.
The work of building homes
and cities and public utilities of
various kinds is going on vigor-
ously throughout the State.
When the well-kept Ell Pasoan
boasts of his fine system of
lights, or Of the streets, or of
the new buildings of his city, the
San Antonio man assures him
that he should come down and
see the miracles performed at
the Alamo City, while the Hous-
tonian refuses to discuss any
thing shorter than skyscrapers,
while the Galvestonian dilates
over the enormous growth of
commerce, and hopeful represent
atives of Beaumont, Waco, Fort
Worth, Dallas and a score of
other Texas cities smile with that
air of self satisfaction which
speaks louder than words, parti-
cularly when all hands are try
ing to talk at once. For the first
time in the history of the State,
the vigorous work of develop
ment is going on from Browns
vile TO Texline and from Texar-
kama to Ell Paso, two vast
stretches of almost thousand
miles across Texas. Yet the
mineral resources have been
barely touched and only a be-

THE FIRE ALARM.

We have so often called the at
tention of the people of this town
to the inadequate protection
which we enjoy" as against the
ravages of fire, that we feel al
most ashamed to breach the sub
iect again. Canyon has been
very fortunate in this respect
that she has never had any great
disaster but it is only a question
of time until we shall, in the Ian
guage of the street gamin, get
ours" We sit idly by and take
absolutely no steps for our own
protection-not the protection of
others, but our own property
which we seem to cherish so
much. To see this spirit shown
it almost makes the editor wish
that a fire would start and burn
out about half the town so that
he could stand on top of one of
the very small tanks which are
near the square and yell, Il told
you So" OF course this editor
does not want to see any prop
erty destroyed but really it is a
downright shame for the people
of this city to be so everlastingly
stingy that they cannot spare

Eternal Push the Price Of Success.

Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" so we are told. We
know, from experience, that eter-
nal push" is the price of sue
cess. Have you got the price?
If not, you had better immigrate
to the South Sea Islands or some
other seaport for the tired, for
there is no room in this busy,
hustling world for the drone and
sluggard. The year 1909 pro
misses to be one of unparalleled
activity and a time for doing
things" not dreaming them. If
you are not in the push" you
will get lonesome and be stun
bling block and eyesore to the
community. You need not be
afraid of getting in anybody's
way, for there is plenty for all
hands to do, and if you do your
part you will keep out of the way
of others. So let us all line up
and see how much, not how lit
tie, we can accomplish, not only
for our individual interest, but
for Swisher county, during the
year 1909. -Tulia Standard.

The interview given the News
reporter last week by l.. G. Con
ner, John Knight and George A.
Brandon which was published in
our last issue, states exactly the
situation with reference to the
railway matter. If those who
are benefited do not come up and
assist how in the world can they
expect those who are not bene-
flied to come up for them. When
it comes to railroads Canyon
does not hesitate to do her part
much more than her part but
it ought not to be expected that
she should put up all the money
for those people who will secure
an advance in the value of their
property of from $500 up to
$1,000 per acre. when these peo-
pie who should be most inter
ested could secure the road by
practically loaning the company
an average of one dollar per acre
on their lands with six per cent
interest payable to the one who
advances the money. Canyon is
ready to do her part but what
about the land owners. If you
own land along the proposed line
have you given the matter any
serious thought? It's time you
did. Now or never.

SPECIAL ILLUSTRATED NUMBER.

We have arranged to publish a
special illustrated number of the
Randall County News soon for
the purpose of promoting the
interests of Randall county and
Canyon City. We believe that
by reviewing what has been done
and what is being done by pre-
senting some of the many exam
pies of success. a new enthusi-
asm may be inspired. 1t is our
aim to make this number truly
representative. 1t will review
Randall county from its early
history and illustrate, by fine
tone cravings, the schools,
churches, stores, factories, farms,
stock, residences, people and
landscapes, and enlarge upon
the success that has followed in
the wake Of honest endeavor, and
in conclusisn will present many
progressive institutions and cit
liens.
The edition will be printed in
a good manner, will be desirable
and attractive, and of increasing
value as the years 90 by, both as
a history of the past and souv-
enir of today. 1t will serve the
threefold purpose of still further
removing many prevailing preju-
dices that exist regarding this
country, instruct and entertain
our friends and relatives in
other states and crafty a sense
of local pride, of which every
progressive community has its
share. To these ends, we re-
quest that all assist II obtaining
the necessary information, as it
is to our mutual interest to make
this a big advertisement for this
portion of the Panhandle.
In this kind of a newspaper
the readers want pictures of
places and people for the time
prominent. The importance of
the photograph is being recog-
nized in the commercial world
as readily as elsewhere and we
find among the most progressive
business men the growing use
Of views as a means of promot-
ing their business.
While this community has pro
crossed in a very substantial
manner, there is still field for
development The conditions
Justify every man in working for
the betterment of the city and
county and in proclaiming the
facts abroad. The News is pre-
pairing this special number for
the benefit of all the citizens and
we request that all take an inter
est in the work.
No charge will be made for
writing or space. A small charge
will be made to cover the cost of

THE TOWN BOY.

On two or three occasions il
has been the duty of this editor
to speak out through the columns
of this paper relative to some OF
the boys of this city. Nearly
every town in the country has OF
formerly had their old town
cow" Canyon has her town
boys" and we use the word in
the same sense except that we
give greater credit to the COW
than to the boy for the reason
that the COW would sometimes
give milk while the town boy
is good for nothing. We have
them here. They are lazy, tri-
fling and bent on destroying
property of others. You know
the kind we are speaking about.
They are in a class by them
selves and will finally be in a cell
in the same condition. 1t seems
that these little ''yaps' have
taken a shine" towards incen-
diarism. For the past two or
three weeks this gang Of from
three to five boys have been go
ing around over the city setting
fire to almost anything that
would burn. Several people have
narrowly escaped having not
only their fences but their dwell
lings destroyed by the intended
devilment of these lads. They
cannot lay the fires to careless
ness for they deliberately scratch
the match and apply it to what
ever they want to burn. Now
this editor has made diligent in
quiry into these matters and is
in a position to state that they
are breeding trouble of the
worst kind, for people are not
going to stand for such kind of
conduct. The News is for the
interest of Randall county and
Canyon City as a whole and we
propose to do the very best thing
that we can for the best good of
these people together and there
fore have decided that if such
practices are not stopped the ed
itor will give a list of the names
of those engaging in this devil
ment. He is not going to init
mate that one of the boys is the
the son of a former hotel man,
the son of a former real
estate or insurance man, another
the son of this man or the son of
that man, but he is going to give
the names of the boys them
and what is more he is
to show that his state
ments are correct. Possibly if
the boys were properly backed
up against a strip of good, tough
sole leather and it was explained
to them that it is very probable
that the next grand jury which
meets in February will investi-
gate the matter, they could be
induced by the parents to desist
in this practice. Does your son
come in this class:

ginning has really been made in
other lines.
The old year closes and the
new year opens with an atmos-
phere alive with rumors of even
larger things. Manufacturing
cities are casting about TO sup
ply themselves with natural gas,
all the larger cities are planning
for interurban electric roads,
packeries, mills and factories
are to be added to. new lines of
railroad are being provided for,
Mr.. Hill has completed his con
nection directly to the Gulf, while
three other great systems are
picking up as fast a, possible
missing links to the same end.
The year 1909 opens with some
wonderful development as well
as with most hopeful prospects
and promises.
The things wrought thus far
are largely results of the innate
vitality and natural wealth of the
State. Texas has enjoyed none
of those artificial helps that have
been resorted to in certain other
States, and few of the incidental
or other special benefits that
have built up some of the great
est cities in the world. Natural
advantages have been left to
count or not to count against
we'll organized forces of different
kinds, in control of the capital
and commerce of the country.
Possibly the time has come when
this sort of thing must needs
undergo a logical change regard
less of the coming events which
are calculated to alter it. But
whether this j. true or not is not
highly important now. The
change is coming. Mr.. Harri-
man knows it. Mr.. Hill accepts
the settled fact. Messrs. Gould,
Ripley, Yoakum, Gates and 9th
ers with full knowledge regard
ing the situation are fixed in
their plans and purposes to meet
it.
The big things to be done in
the Southwest during the pre-
sent year in the commercial
development of the country are
to be done to meet the veritable
revolution which is to follow the
opening of the Panama Canal.
With her rivers opened down
to the sea, her railroad systems
strengthened and multiplied land
with her ports enlarged to meet
the greatest concentration of
commerce that has ever been
known in the history of the
world, Texas bids fair to enjoy
that sort of extraordinary uplift
that similar concentrations of
energy and interest have brought
to centers like Chicago and New
York. Texas ports will be gate
ways for a commerce that will
extend around the world. 1t is
very much in order for Texans
to begin the new year with this
logical view of the situation.
There is no reason why they
should not look ahead and thus
derive some of the encourage
ment, hopefulness and benefits
of it. There are some great
blessings in store for Texas, and
The News is confident that this
fact will grow clearer and clearer
