Rev. ". Il. Hurlbut, Of Friona
visited his brother Walter A.
Hurlbut, of Texico. last Monday
returning home the same day.
A short time ago Rev. e.
Franklin Cramer, the Methodist
pastor Of the N. 3. church of
Texico. accompanied by the
writer, drove over to the Plain
view school house which is To-
Gated about 6 miles South East
from Farwell. As their Sun
day school came before the
preaching service, we had the
pleasure of seeing a thriving
Sunday School on the plains
with Mr.. Frank McElroy as it's
superintendent. Mr.. McElroy,
who is an efficient worker along
this slime, also had charge as
teacher. Of a class of small
boys. Mr.. Good taught a class
Of girls while Mr.. Watkins in
structed the Bible class. AS
the lesson was we'll prepared by
both the instructors and the in
structed. The services were
interesting indeed. Then came
the preaching services which
were also interesting and we
hope to be permitted to visit
you again.
The rain, oh the rain, it has
come again and last night we
had an abundant rain, a glori-
GUS old soaker. 1t seems to be
an easy thing for it to rain now
days. Well, let it come, and
keep things growing.
Rev. 0. 7. Wattenbarger,
former pastor of the Congre-
gational church of Farwell came
from Hurley last night and
returned Tuesday morning with
another load Of goods. He has
resigned his position as pastor
of the church at Farwell and
has taken up the work at Hur-
ley. The rain has hindered him
considerably Of late about
moving.
Mr.. Fears. editor Of THE
State Line Tribune" Of Far
well, has rented the parsonage
of the Congregations church
and will move into it soon. Mr..
Bell, of Texico, has been en-
gagged to paint and re-paper the
rooms.
Judge Hale is in town and re-
ports a very fine crop of kafir
corn. He says, 1T will make a
ton to the acre" He has great
faith in the future of this coun-
try.
John Boss, a farmer who lives
three miles south of Texico says,
We had our crops in and up
before the rain and now we are
resting while the growing fine.

At their Wednesday night session,
the Henderson City Council unani-
mously declared for Commission
form of Government and instructed
the city attorney to take steps to
procure the passage Of an enabling
act by the incoming legislature.
HopkinsvilIe seems to have started
something. While all the second
class cities of the state have already
adopted the Commission form of
Government, Hopkinsville is the first
Of third class cities to agitate it.
Z E are five now in this c s S,
B6%ling Green, Frankfort, Owens
boro, Middlesboro and Henderson,
while Hopkinsville's population puts
her there by rights. The Courier
Journal seems to think all these will
have Government by Commission as
soon as they can possibly be placed
there legally

Children From All Over County
We're Here By the
Hundreds.
BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY OF WORK
Something Besides Book Learn
ing" Is Being Taught
Now.

There has seldom been such a
gathering of children in the city as
was here yesterday. The occasion
was the county school fair. There
are SO schools in the county, exclus-
i've of the graded schools. The in
struction in raising crops, learning
needle work, manufacturing many
instruments used on the farm, map
drawing, domestic science and many
other things, has become so popular
and teen so encouraged by Miss Jen-
ME West, the county superintendent,
during her term of office that chill
dren now of tender years are farther
advanced along these lines than chill
dren of fourteen and fifteen years of
age were a generation ego.
The exhibition of the children's
handiwork at the Tabernacle was in
deed great display. Could it be
reproduced at the next Pennyroyal
fair it would be one of the best at
fractions.
Beneath the balcony, reaching from
one side of the stage 10 the other.
the productions of the children were
shown by schools and were arranged
with cOnsummate taste. The stage
was beautifully decorated and about
it were grouped samples of corn, pc
tatoes and many things produced on
the farm and grown by children.
All honor to their teachers, who are
setting before them a way to do
something and be something in life
more than bookworms.
The speakers who had been Sc
cured by Miss West were: Prof.
Lieper, of the Western State Normal
School, and Mrs. CHM, employed by
the State to lecture on domestic
science, and others.
The premiums awarded will be
published in our next issue.

LANDMARK
Demolition Of The Home Where
Judge Walter Evans
Married.
WORK BEGUN THIS WEEK.
On Addition To The Dabney
Warehouse Ancient To-
baccO Found. "a
WORK BEGUN THIS WEEK.

Mr.. F. w. Dabney is building an
exter SION to his warehouse on TIE
corner of Tenth and Campbell streets,
which will connect his present house
with the l.. & N. Railroad. The old
frame building once used by Nelson
& Dabney is being torn down and a
brick building will take its place.
1t was one of the Oldest houses in
the city, originally built for a resi-
dence and was occupied as dwell
ing house when the railroad W a s
built in 1868. In tearing it down
two twists of tobacco were found be-
hind one of the door facings that
were nailed on in 1874. the suppose
ton being that they were placed
there when repairs were made SO
years ago. The tobacco was in per-
feet condition and was distributed to
users of the weed.
The house was built by John B.
Gowan, who was sheriff of Christian
county for many years. His three
children, two girls and one boy were
raised there When the civil war
broke out the daughters were grown
and promir ent in society. Mr.. Cow
an was "Unionistv and the officers
of the Federal army paid the Misses
Gowan considerable attention. One
of them married Lieut.. Milton Cole
man. The other married Capt. Wal
ter Evans, now Judge of the u. s.
Circuit Court, whose home is now in
Louisville. Across the street, where
a tobacco warehouse now stands, was
a vacant square where circus tents
were pitched and sometimes crops
of corn and garden truck" were
raised. One night while a circus was
going on the ringmaster announced
that Mr.. Gowan, the sheriff, had lost
a package of money amounting to
81, 900 and offered a big reward if
the finder would return it to him.
1t wasn't returned.
But the old landmark is gone and
there are few people left to tell its
history, probably not half dozen
are living today who remember when
"the Gowan house" was one of the
happiest and most hospitable homes
in the old town, now far past the
century mark.
For years as noted above Messrs
Nelson & Dabney, tobacco dealers,
used the building for an Office.

Government BY Commission
The Essentials of the Charter.

its introduction and before its adj
option, remain on file at least one
week in the complete form in which
it shall be put on its passage, thus
preventing dangerous and pernicious
amendments just before it is voted
on, and no such ordinance to go into
effect until ten days after its pass
age, except in case of emergency the
public health or safety shall require
that it take immediate effect, which
fact shall be declared by the unani-
nous vote of the Board of Commits
sioners.
A modification of the above plan
has made it's appearance in some
sections of the country, which is con-
sidered the height of radicalisr by
some authorities and the acme of
perfection in business management
of municipal affairs by others. 1t
lis, in short. the advent of the pro-
fessional mayor, a municipal expert
trained in the Office of general man.
ager of the municipal corporation.
This modification is an approach to-
wards the European custom of cities
which have their experts in city af-
fairs. This man is not elected by
the people directly, but appointed to
service by the town council. His
tenure of Office is permanent, Deepen
dent solely upon efficiency.
The friends of this modification
claim that the matter of governing
a city is simply business proposition
and that its solution lies in the ap-
plication of business principles. They
point to the great railroads and bus
mess organizations and call attention
to men in authority, the president
or general manager, who are en-
ployed by the board of directors to
carry out the business policy which
that board has outlined. They claim
that this board of directors is elected
by the stockholders of the corpora
lion and that the board is always in
a position to command and check the
movements of their president or gen.
eral manager.
The principle as applied to the
municipal corporation is as follows:
The voters are considered as stock
holders. They meet at the regular
election times and EJECT board of
commissioners. These commission
ers meet and receive applications for
the position of general manager of
the city. The selection of this indi-
vidual is based upon his ability to
handle the work. He is elected by
a majority vote of the commissioners
and is p aced in charged of the bust
ness of governing the city. He is
made responsible for his acts of COM
mission as well as those of omission.
The commission appoints his as
sistants. such as the city auditor.
clerk, assessor, treasurer, engineer,
and so forth. This general manager
makes his reports to the board of
commissioners, who in turn make
them public.
If the general manager fails in
ability in the discharge of his duties
he is asked to resign and a new man
placed in charge in his stead.
Sumter. S. c.. has this plan in |
force with some few differences.
Some Of the cities of Virginia have
adopted plans which in a measure
approach this form.

TWO DECISIONS RENDERED
OF FAR-REACHING IMPORTANCE
Btuthc Case Goes Against The City And County Gains The
