The great-hearted people of
Canyon City and Randall County
We're not disappointed in any way
that we can think of at the cele-
bration over having the West
Texas State Normal located at
Canyon. We had a beautiful day
which the Panhandle is noted
for and the grandest crowds
ever assembled on the Plains
with we'll filed baskets the crowd
swarmed in by great numbers.
With ample eatables, speaking
and other amusementS on the
grounds, we believe it was one
largest gatherings ever held on
the Plains.
Quite a number are inquiring
for maize seed saying that they
have to plant over since the early
planting was too early and the
seed not good. The wheat crop
is heading after the weekly rains
and before many weeks you will
hear the clatter of the sickle and
toot of the thrasher.
Our Sunday School Superin-
tendent changed the time of
Sunday School which will be
from now on at 8 o'clock p. m.
Roe Wakefield was around
Tuesday taking the scholastic
census of District No. ,.
There is disease going round
among the little ones. 1t is a
breaking out like measles but no
one is very sick.
When Canyon has another
feast we hope to be present.
Thanking them for all curticies
shown, we remain, yours truly

In the course of human events
and what in the future will be
considered as the most impor-
tant occurrence in the history
of the Panhandle educational
matters took place on Tuesday
of last week in this city with the
laying Of the corner stone of the
West Texas State Normal Col
lege, which occurred at Ills a.
M, and under the auspices of
the local Masonic Lodge and as
sisted by some fifteen or more
lodges from the Panhandle
country, of which the largest
delegation of the Masonic frater-
nifty came from Amarillo. The
impressive ceremonies will be
long remembered by all present,
besides being witnessed by one
of the largest gatherings that
was ever assembled in this city
The local Masonic lodge may
justly feel proud of this great
and magnaminous occasion.
1t not only marks a new ere
for the Panhandle country, from
the passing of the Plains country
to, like Athens, a seat of learn
ing, Headed by a brass banC
and some five hundred Masons
in line, joined in a parade leading
from their Castle hall, northeas

Following the ceremony of tn
cornerstone setting, there was

state which God has created and
nature has marked for the home
of the School; that here the
school can run for ten months in
the year without bringing one
pupil to that state of lassitude
and WEAKNESS which destroys
ambition, dissipates inspiration,
and annihilates intellectual az
dor.
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
GATHER FOR SUMNER NORMAL.
We expect before many years
have passed to see gathered
within the walls af this institu-
ton every summer, hundreds of
of teachers and students from
less favored portions of Texas,
seeking at the same time recup-
GRAFTON for tired nerves and eX-
hausted bodies, an inspiration
for listless and wearied minds.
We expect that the fame of this
institution will spread itself
abroad throughout the length
and breadth of the land, till its
summer sessions, like the sum
mer school at Knoxville in the
! Tennessee mountains, will have
an attendance of more than two
thousand people, gathered from
the West and this entire land OF
ours; returning to their homes
as the autumnal equinox come,
on, full of enthusiasm and praiaS
for this matchless climate an(
cloudless skies, and the irresis
tible bouyancy and health ant

our limitless plains.

Sometimes folks get good
many irons in the fire at the
same time in spite of themselves.
Jobs come thick and fast, some
days. The best way to do, then,
in to keep calm and 60 straig ht
ahead, doing all the little things
that lie in one part of the farm
when you are in that locality and
then go on to something else.
Finish what you have on hand.
Time brings all things out right
to the man who works this way.

C. R, FIesher Admitted to Bar.

We are pleased to state that
Mr.. c. Il. Flesher passed the bar
examination successfully at Gal.
weston recently. He was one of
sixteen who made paSSable
grades, which speaks much for
him. He arrived at home about
the first of April from the Uni
versity at Austin where he had
pursued the study of law for
some time and this early admit
tance to the practice of his chO-
sen profession speaks much for
him and shows that while at
school his time was not wasted.
The enterprise feels that Mr..
Flesher has a bright future be,
fore him and we join his many
friends in complementing him
upon his success and wish him a
continued successful tour upon
life's high sea. a.-Rock-Island En-

pace with w. j. in the profession,
his time will be at all times fully
occupied.

On some soils it does not pay
to plow too deep. For instance,
take it where the plow-point
strikes hard-pan; no use to pull
the horses to death and tire
ourselves all out to bring that to
the surface. 1t is not worth
while after we have done it.

those who would drive the insti-
tuition away from this section
unless my own town could have
it. My platform during the con-
test was,-the Normal for the
Panhandle-for Amarillo, if pos
sible, but if not, then for some
other eligible Panhandle town.
Now, that you have won the
great prize, l congratulate the
citizenship of Canyon City and
Randall county upon their nota-
BILE success, and do so with all
my heart. You made clean
fight, you deserved to win, and
you won. That is the whole
story, and you have my congrat
ulations and good wishes; nay,
more, you have my earnest soil
citude for the realization of your
best hopes in the largest posi-
ble success of this great institu
ton.
PRESIDENT OF THE NORMAL.
You have every reason to eX
pect success. The gentleman
who takes place at the head of
the institution is man of nota-
BILE achievements in the educa-
tional world. He resigned the
position that made him the Off
cial head of the educational Sys-
TEN Of the state of Texas, to take
the leadership of this enterprise.
We heartily welcome him to our
section, and we should ever ex-
tend our appreciative welcome to
men of high character and
worthy deeds,
We hope for him the highest
measure of success which his
talents and his efforts may de-
serve. In so saying, but re-
fleet the sentiment and speak
the wishes of all the great Pan
handle country.
FREE MASONRY.
May | say in conclusion that
it is entirely fitting and emf
nently proper that the ancient
and honorable order of Free Ma
sonry, more ancient than the
Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle;
more honorable than the Star
and Garter, or any other order
instituted by king or prince or
potentate, or any other person
except he be a Mason, should be
represented in the ceremonies
we are assem- bled to witness here
today,
Now this Grand Ordor which
sprang from the Diyinely given
wisdom of King Solomon and de
scended to us unstained through
all the vicissitudeS of the centu-
ries, out living King Solomon and
his Temple itself, and all the
works of his contemporaries, has
laid many a corner stOne-in ed
; ifices now grown old and covered
with moss and ivy, and honor
{ and renown,-but never one
erected for nobler purposes or
in whose fate was involved more
j solemn or far reaching respon-
sibilitieS.
CONCLUSION.
- Let us take courage from this
IL hour Some have worked long
u and hard, and grown old in the
face of many depressing and dis
u couraging adversities for the de-
u velopment and upbuilding of this
j splendid country; but the day is
breaking and the hour of a uni
E; versally recognized success is
G not far ahead.
Let US here and now renew
l. our courage, strengthen oul
d faith, and pledge again not only

le our Sacred honor to the welfare
lie and glory of the matchless Pan
N handle Country. and grand old

DAVE PRAISES
 GOV. DONACHEY

Little Rock, March 25.-G. G. Dave, managing director of the Southern Commercial Congress at Washington, D. C., who is one of the guests of honor at the Land Congress, paid a tribute to Governor Donaghey in an address before that body yesterday afternoon. The men who do things for Arkansas, ire said, are not necessarily the poli- ticians, but those belong to the con- structive side of life. After referring to President Cole of the Farmers Un- ion and other men who stand for something, said he: II was talking to a friend of Arkansas few days ago, and that friend was none other than B. F. Yoakum. He discussed the men ot .-rkansas who are doing things" Passing on he paid a tribute to Governor Donaghey, saying it was "a shame that such big man as he mad to go about over the state ex- plaining for pitiful little office MT. Daw declared that we must forget po- tiles. Not the party color, or that party color on the clothes, makes the man."
 We have waited forty years now" he declared, "in political endeavor, overlooking the great possibilities that lie before us"

ford, who came here to take the mat ter up with the supreme court. Bow man was convicted in Scott county, having taken change of venue from Sebastian, of criminally assaulting a little white girl in that part of Fort Smith which was formerly a part of the Indian Territory but added to Ar kansas by an act of congress. The su- preme court affirmed the decision of the lower court and Governor Dona- ghey fixed the date for the execution.
 As there has been some dispute for some time over the jurisdiction by Ar kansas or Oklahoma over the strip of of ground on which the crime IS al legged to have been committed, Attor- ney General Weatherby took the fact before Chief Justice McCulloch yes terday and he informed the attorney general he would today grant the writ of error, if it was properly presented to him. This was done by the attor- ney and the writ which will take the case to the supreme court of the Unit ed States was granted. As it takes a year for a case to work around the United States supreme court, Bow man can count upon that long to live at least.

JUDGE F. M. HULK DEAD
ONE OF LITTLE ROCKS VEAL THIEST CITIZENo PASSES
 TO THE GREAT BEYOND.

Little Rock, March 25.-Judge Francis Marion Fulk, one of the wealthiest and best known citizens of Little Rock, died at 6:15 o'clock last night at his home, 220 Spring street. Judge Fulk was taken ill about two months ago with heart trouble, but was able to be at his office in the Fulk building until March Is. Since then his condition has been critical. Sev- eral days ago it was feared that he would not live only few hours.
 Judge Fulk was one of the largest, if not the largest, real estate holders in Little Rock He was self-made man, coming to Arkansas in 1870 without an extra cent. He taught school at first and when he came to Little Rock in 1873 worked at the car penter and masonry trades. From that work he earned enough to buy a small stand at the old market on Fifth street, between Main and Louisiana streets-the market at that time be- ing in the middle of the street. He later bought store near the market and when he prospered he bought an other larger store out in the city. Later he took up the practice of Jaw and engaged in real estate specula- tions in Little Rock until he amassed a fortune that today is estimated at S1 ,000 900.

CLARENCE IMBODEN
 MEETS WITH ACCIDENT

Clarence Imboden, the oldest son of Mir. and Mrs. Herman Imboden, who has been serving as an apprentice in the office of the Log Cabin Democrat for the past year, was badly shaken up and came near being seriously in- iured this afternoon. One leg of his overalls was caught in the shaft of the engine and he was thrown to the floor with such force as to render him unconscious, while considerable DOT ton of his clothing was torn from him. Doctors Brown and Westerfield were called to attend the boy, and they think no bones are broken and that he will recover in short time. Clarence was one of the best boys the office has ever had, and the whole force greatly regret his injury.
