WANT TERRELL FARMER
Letters of All of Them Indicate They
Are Persons of Some Culture.

Six Savannah women have written
Mayor Stewart they are willing to
marry the Terrell county farmer who
recently wrote the mayor requesting
his assistance in securing a wife. The
letters of all of the women indicate
they are persons of some degree OF
culture.
Unless the Terrell farmer is par
ticular sort of fellow he should be able
to pick a spouse from these women.
He will probably go to Savannah
soon to do a few hours of regular
counting and bring his lady home.
The Savannah mayor has record
of having brought two or three couples

bringing baskets, basket filled with
fried chicken, sandwiches, salad, cakes

WE have been informed that
Denver is out with a proposition to
build railroad through the Monte
yuma valley and the Dove Creek
country and to connect with the
Rio Grande Western some where
in Utah. This road is to be built
by bonding the land for distance
of FIVE miles on either side of the
right-of-way for one dollar an acre.
The supposition is that this pro-
position is being advertised in order
to stall the subscribing Of land to
the Southern Outlet. Denver
realizes that should railroad be
built to the south she has lost the
trade Of this vast empire of south
west Colorado, and she can't afford
to lose it, SO something had to be
done and done quick. We have
no doubt that as soon as work
begins on the road from the south
the Denver & Rio Grande people
will do some road building in order
to hold at least part Of this ter
ritory. But they will do no build
ing until the southern road is
assured. Now is the time to act
in order to get railroads into this
section Of the state. The PROPOSE
ton made by the Rio Grande
people should make no difference
in our subscription to the Gallup
Hesperus road, for if you trade
part of your land to the Los
Angeles Syndicate for railroad stock
do you not think that the Syndicate
would be willing to give a dollar
an acre on all such land in order
to have a railroad built within five
miles Of it. The thing to do now
is to meet the proposition make by
the Los Angeles Syndicate and get
this railroad building started as
soon as possible.

Well Sir, we lost out again last week
on the notes. 1t was sort of like one
day good many years ago. George
WIIkerson was going up to Chris vii.
kerson's ranch. On the way up he
passed Job Yank stacking hay single
handed and alone. Putting it up in
one of those low stacks about 100 fee,
long, which used to be quite common
IN the Valley. Hello, Job, Rather
strenuous, amt it?" Job mopped off the
sweat and replied, "Too many hsy,
too many hay" Well, that is where
we got off.

School will start pretty soon, and |
have one kick on our entire school
system. Have had kick for years.
IL Is too much like the German school
system. In fact it has been the boast
of our educators for years that the
German school system was the best in
the world, which is the opposite of the
truth. There has practically been no
change in our school system in fifty
years. And the famous men it has
produced in that time can be counted
on the fingers of one hand. mean
the ones whose names will be in the
history books hundred years from
now There is the late president, and
the less mention he gets the better it
VIII look. There is Bryan who will
rank with Clay and Webster. There is
Roosevelt who will be pictured as the
type of the particular age in which he
hVed. Grant and Mckinley belong to
a past age. Debs, of whom not one
teacher in ten knows anything about
VIII be pictured as representing the
hopes and ideals of the wage workers
Edison and Wright will be in the history
books. Now can you recall another
name of sufficient Importance to be
remembered hundred years from now!
The fault lies in our public school sys'
tem' There is no attempt to raise up
generation of forward-looking states
men who are supremely concerned win
the building of the future nation. Who
look into the future to realize the des'
tlny of the greatest and fastest grow
ing nation on earth.

same identical fish that we caught

arge as dog then and has grown some

WHEN you go into a strange
town or city and want to make
purchases at the best stores or do
business with the best firms or
individuals, buy a local paper and
go to the people that advertise. A
store or other business that adver-
tises has reputation to defend.
You are sure of more courteous
treatment and better goods for the

missioner OF Accounts, who said, in a
statement, that he had been given n
free hand and directed to be "thor-
ough" in an attempt to establish the
motives behind the police action, and
whether there is, as was charged by
ten prominent citizens in a letter sent
to the Mayor December 9, any "con-
spiracy" on the part of the police to
restrict freedom of speech.
