THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE.
IV
We have been requested by a
number of our farmer friends to
write an artiele this week urging all
the farmers of Deaf Smith and
Castro counties to bp present at the
next regular meeting of the Farmers'
Institute which will be held on the
first 'Saturday in December. We
comply with pleasure for we know
the • vast amount of good accom-
plished by the organization the past
year. By meeting together from
once to twice per month, the farming
interest* of Deaf Smith and ^adjoin-
ing counties have been advanced
even beyond that of many old settled
and more populous counties. In
fact the work done in our farmers'
meetings has attracted attention
throughout the length and breadth
of the Panhandle. The fact that
new crops, such as cotton, corn,
alfalfa and all the vegetables can
be successfully and profitably grown
here has been thoroughly established
and men have been made to realize
that there is a reward awaiting td
•crown each and every effort put
forth in the right direction toward
the development of the country.
What has been accomplished dur-
ing the past year is only a small
sample of what can reasonably be
expected* during the ensuing year's
work if directed along the proper
lines. During the winter months,
j while there is not a great deal of
farm work to do, the farmers and all
interested in the development of the
country should come together regu-
larly and made definite arrange-
ments for next year's crop. It
should be remembered by all that
the primary reason why the cotton
crop this year was planted so late
was that the right kind of seed could
not be obtained earlier. As a mat-
ter of course, the drouth had some-
thing to do with it, but this year
everything should be in readiness
and the best foot should be put fore-
most in making a grop which will be
an eye opener to the outside world.
It will soon be time to elect new
officers and much important work is
waiting to be done. Let every far-
mer come out to the court house the
first Saturday afternoon in December
arid help to do this work.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Bryan is regarded by some as a
blind enthusiast in whose hands it
would be unsafe to place the affairs
of the government, he is being
spoken of by many prominent poli-
ticians as a suitable candidate for
presidential honors in 1908.
favorably regarded by people
who iw* but her border, thin it
is today. Not only do p60ple who
are seeking homes look ^with favor
upon us, but the leading newspapers
arid journals throughout the country
have good things to say about us.
Among these publications, the Dal-
las Morning News is contributing its
part towards apprising the people
of our innumerable resources. The
following from the News in reply to
an arlicle which appeared in *the
Brand is only one of th¿ many in-
stances in whidh good things are be-
ing heralded abroad regarding the
Panhandle: 1 .
Western Texas will bear watching.
That is to say, it is worthy of the
kind of attention which The Here-
ford Brand suspects is fastened
upon it by distant and contemplative
persons with a desire to move. The
almost measureless areas of cheap
and easily tilled land in Western
Texas offer opportunities to enter-
prising settlers which many have
availed themselves of," and ten i
thousand more will follow their j
example in a few years' timé.

A BETTER RECEIPT
Than a check cannot be found. Besides that, it is the
most convenient method of handling money. It does away
with carrying so much in your pockets where you are
liable to lose it, or even worse—to be held up while driving
through the country. If you have never carried a bank
account come to us and we will explain all the methods.

At Dimmitt.
A brand representative spent
Friday night of last week in Dim-
mitt,^oufr neighboring county site,
and found everything moving along
in good shape and everybody pros-
pering in that litUe village. The
citizens are not bothering their
minds very much about the results
of the election or the securing of a
railroad but are advancing along
progressive lines. Some important
business changes have been effected
there recently. Among these is the
formation of the new business firm of
Droke and Gollebon, caused by
Jno. Droke taking in as partner
Robert Gollehon, son of J. M.
Gollehon, of that county. They are
adding a nice line of dry goods and
hereafter will deal in general mer-
chandise. Another important busi-
ness change is the deal whereby
Judge C. F. Kerr becomes sole
owner of the mercantile business,
formerly owned and operated by
Beach & Kerr, T. H. Beach retiring.
The latter, however, will not leave
Dimmitt but will look after his ranch
interests and becom§ identified in
other ways with the towns progress.
Dimmitt now has a good school in
progress, under the management of
Prof. Curlee, a handsome church
building, and one of. the best court
houses on the plains. They have
no jail as they seldom have occasion
to use such a convenience.
The writer spent the night with
his friend, B. F. Westbrook, who is
contributing in no sma|l way to the
successful development of his com-
munity. Mr. Westbrook has several
sections of land and a nice bunch of
cattle and dóesn't have to ask any-
one to help him make a living.
The farmers in that section áre
considerably wrought up over the
cotton situation and will plant a
large acreage to this product next
year.

' ;r, .vw,;
A Veritable Treat.
Sam Jonts, the noted Georgia
evangelist, lectured to a large and
appreciative audience at the opera
house in Amarillo Monday night.
While a number of those present had
heard him before, a still greater
number had not been granted this
privilege; so all awaited with eager
expectation for the man, about whom
they ha<J heard and read so much, to
appear on the stage, which occurred
about 8 . o'clock. The venerable
Georgian appeared amid many
cheers and, taking his seat, spent
aboiit five minutes sizing up the peo-
ple whom it was his purpose to
"skin."
While he had no fixed subject, it
can properly be said that he spoke
upon "Philosophy, Facts and Fun."
At any rate his subject was suffi-
ciently «broad and deep to enable
him to "take the hide off" of all the
people of Amarillo including law-
yers, doctors, newspaper men, saloon
men. the Methodist. Presbyterian,
Christian and Baptist churches.
He paid a high compliment to the
salvation army by stating that his
regret was that he did not cast his
lot with them when he started to
work for the Lord, instead of joining
the Methodist church. He made
many clever and hard hits but all
present seemed to take them good
humorédly, for in connection with
the hard things said, would come a
counter current of logic and wit
which would completely remove the
depressed feelings of a" moment ago.
All in all it is well worth one's
whit* tn hear him.
Goes to California.
Mr. and Mrs. Ira A¿en and child-
ren left Saturday afférncon for San
Diago, California, where they go
for the benefit of Mrs. Aten's health.
It is Mr. Aten's intention to be gone
a year or two after which he will
return to the Panhandle and con-
tribute his share toward its develop-
ment. Mr. Aten still Owns his resi-
dence in Hereford and his ranch in
the west part of the county and still
looks upon this as hisiiome. Whil*
«1 regret to see this family go awa,
even a year's time, we fetoice
be prepared to make Qhops of Indian j^^is"^ n*t forTh
