An Open Letter.
To the Citizens of Hereford and
Surrounding country:
I wish to extend my thanks for
your liberal patronage while I have
been making this an experimental
station—for that is what it has been
with me. For over two years I have
been visiting this place in the interest
of my profession, and have met with
hearty support, and the peopie have
shown by their patronage that they
have confidence in my ability to serve
them. I have been trusted with
«orne very difficult operations, also
some very expensive ones, and have
been encouraged by numbers of the
most prominent citizens of the county
to locate here.
It is now my ambition to make the
Hereford Dental Parlors ihe best
equipped in West Texas, which I am
sure they will be. I have the only
mill in West Texas for manufactur-
ing gold and silver plates and am
specially prepared for the manu-
facture of aluminum plates, which
are the best on earth. I am also
specially prepared for doing crown
and bridge work.
To those whc are in need of any
class of dental surgery, and know
the possibilities in that line, I would
respectfully request that you call at
my office in the Dr. R. M. Johnson
building, as I am sure that I can give
you satisfaction in any class of work
that you want.
To those who are not acquainted
with the possibilities in this line of
surgery and are having trouble with
their teeth, 1 would be pleased to
have you come and talk with me
about it. I will not mislead you and
if you have any doubts as to my
ability I can show you as good
testimonials as any dentist in the
state.
If I am to judge the future busi-
ness by the past I will have the
busiest dental office in this section
of the country.
With confidence in my ability to
serve you, and with a thoroughly
■equipped office and laboratory, I re-
main Your servant,
W. E. Robertson,
Dentist.

Did it ever occur to the readers of
this article that Childress is just the
right size for everybody tobe posted
on everybody's acts? If your acts
are moral, they are regular and are
noted only in a careless way. If im-
moral or irregular, word is passed
-down the line before breakfast. If
a woman steps the least out of her
way, or only even grossly indiscreet
in her moral actions, it goes the
round and all who care to know it,
and we know a great many who don't
care to know it, hive it forced upan

Your Patronage
will be appreciated
them. You can have no secret acts
in a town of this size. Let a man do
the least immoral thing, let him fail
of his duty or obligation, and word
is passed up that he is N. G. Let a
man's debts hang fire and every
merchant is posted before the matter
gets cold. So if we value a good
name, we will have to so act as to
merit it. We can hear everything
about people which time proves to
be false. We watch the life and it
proves the truth or falacy of a state-
ment. Don't be too quick to judge.
Don't be to quick to believe what
you hear. You can see the life, it
is before you like an open book.
Every town has its filth peddlers;
Childress is no exception. Be slow
to indulge in repeating a scandal.
A liar had as soon practice on you
as the man she or he may tell you
about. Be charitable and it shall
be returned to you. You can kiss
the cook and your wife won't care, if
you will just kiss the same cook all
the time and never the assistant.
Nobody will talk of this.—Childress

Growing Roswell.
The proprietor of this paper was
in Roswell, N. M., over Sunday
greeting many old friends at that
place. From all appearances Ros-
well is soon destined to become a
city of 10,000 inhabitants inside of
the next ten years. We were in-
formed that a new railroad would
soon be built from that town to some
point on the Rock Island railroad,
which will be of inestimable value to
the business interests of Roswell.
Many new and imposing brick and
stone business blocks are in the
course of construction and many
others soon will be. Residences are
springing up all over the outskirts
of the town, mcst of which are on
the fine order, and we were told that
there vas not a vacant residence of
business house to be found in the
town. Money seems plentiful and
can be had at a low Tate of interest.
In fact, Roswell's future never
seemed so bright as at present.
THE MASS OF HUMANITY com-
prises two Classes,—those whose Individual
Characteristics énabk them to command
situations and those whom situations govern.
The weaker element covets constantly the
attributes of Preferment. Frequently the
Insufficient appear to triumph. Title and
Regalia, however, never yet made a king.
Half a dozen Conventions occur within a
few months, at Los Angles, San Francisco,
fortland and Salt Lake City.
By reason of Advantages, natural as well
as acquired, "THE DENVER ROAD" is
Master of the Situation as to Pacific Coast
points and the Northwest. It simply has
the Best of it any way you care to figure it.
One important consideration is distance.
Distance means time, which is money. Just
for example, would you deliberately choose
to ride out 856 miles to a point but 588
miles distant from Fort Worth via "The
Denver Road," which reaches the place
where the interesting part of the Los An-
geles trip begins, with 268 miles less travel,
taking less time, therefore less money, with
neither changes nor waiting, too? Why, ot
course it makes a difference! It's so with
all other possible combinations of lines—
'twas so in old Euclid's time, 'tis so now,
always will be,—two sides of a triangle
must exceed the third.
Study the map.
Further than this, persons of discrimina-
tion recognize and appreciate the fact that
certain modern conveniences are of the ne-
cessities of really good passenger service
and that many of these the Denver road
alone provides. Such are:—
Daily through trains, models of improved,
box-vestibuled equipment; sleepers with
ladies' dressing rooms, large enough for
several,—with no locks; coaches furnished
with the most comfortable high-back seats
made; cafe cars, meals a la carte, pay only
for what you order; no junctions to wait at,
nor any change of cars; no matter how
small your party, through trains for each,
for everybody, each day.
Another point, the Denver road gives
choice of six routes from Colorado west,
with through connections. You may view
Colorado's grandeur going, returning, or
both ways, if you will.
Study the map and think twice before
buying. Tickets cost no more via the
Denver road than over routes where you'd
get considerably more ride but less actual
satisfaction.
The Denver road doesn't need to be
called official. Correspond with us.
