Joba Wesley's Dream.
It is reported that John Wesley
once in the crisis of the night, found
himself, as he thought, at the gates
of hell. He knocked and asked who
were within.
"Are there any Protestants here?"
he asked.
"Yes," was the answer, "a great
many."
"Any Roman Catholics?"
"Yes, a great many."
"Any Presbyterians?"
"Yes, a great many."
"Any Church of England men?"
"Yes, a great many."
"Any Wesleyans?"
"Yes, a great many."
Disappointed and discouraged, es-
pecially at the last reply, he traced
his steps upwards, and found himself
at the gates of Paradise, and here
he repeated the same question.
"Any Wesleyans here?"
"No,"
"Any Presbyterians?"
••No."
"Any Church of England men?"
"No."
"Any Roman Catholics?"
"No."
"Any Protestants'"
"No."
"Whom have you then, here?" he
asked in astonishment."
"We know nobody here," was the
reply, "oí any of the names you
have mentioned. The only names
of which we know anything here is
•Christians.' We are all Christians
here, and of those we have a great
multitude, which no man car. num-
ber, of all nations, all kindreds and
people and tongues."- New York
Observer.
The improvements in the Here-
ford Brand are the most marked of
any of the newspapers on the Pecos
lines. In quality of matter and me-,
chanical construction, the littlt
paper is far in advance of its day
and time. It is pleasing to notq
that the people appreciate its merit,
too. They do not always do so, and
when they don't it is hard sledding
for the town newspaper, and the
town, too, for that matter.— Roswoll
Record.
Tomorrow (Saturday) the peopl"
ofStratford and Sherman Co., will
meet at the county court house and
enjoy the society of each other, and
a basket dinner. The object of thi*
meeting is that the people of our
county many of whom are strangers to
•ach other, should have on opportun-
ity getting acquainted. Let every-
body turn out and have a good time
and see that your neighbor has a goo !
time. Bring well filled baskets and
come to stay all day and haveagoo<)
time. The ladies of the churchy
will serve ice cream, strawberries
and caku in the evening.—Stratford
Star.
From every locality in this vicinity
come reports of tree planting this
spring on a r^ale that we have
never known In any country before.
Canadian, Miami, ranhandíc, Ama-
rillo, Channing and Dalhart, Texis,
and Kenton and Guymon, Okla.,
papcts all report large planting cf
trees, and S'ratfcrd and Sherman
county are well up toward the head
of the procession. Another year or
two and the appearance of the "Great
American Desert" will be vastly
changed.—Stratford Star.
The Western Searchlight focussed
its rays in Hereford last Saturday
and a stray ray of light found itr.
way to this office. It is asixcolumi
all at home print and a credit w
Hereford. It starts out with a go d
advertising patronage and from this
time on the two papen ;n Hereford
will catch flies in a molarses barrel.
