just now. It began to

to snow until some time
lie night of the 4th. The

made it very disagree-
able.
. I was glad to see the communica-
tions from Boom and Dimmitt in
last week'8 issue of the Brand.
They were both good and .it begins
to look like the Brand is going to
have a correspondent's page, which,
I think, is good, as one gets the
news, then, from all over the coun-
try.
Well, as news is scarce and it is
so cold I can't get out-, I hope the
readers will pardon my short letter
this time. Will-try to do beeter in
my next. W. S. D.

J. A. Canterbury has moved his
saddle and repair shop to the Britain
brick building formerly occupied * by
E, W. Harrison, and is now better
prepared than ever before to serve
the people in his line. Mr. Canter-
bury has built up a splendid trade in
Hereford and his friends will be
glad to see him "spreading out."
We cail attention to his ad found
elsewhere in the Brand.

were had
Nora
to her home that eve-
Ining for a "hen party." When,
(about eight o'clock, the crowd was
i, the assembly afforded
variety that the quiet little town of
Hereford would not be thought able
to supply—western sports, city
dudes, Little Lord Faunteroys, bal-
let girls, dignified young ladies and
reserved matrons.
Also, of a great variety, were the'
evening's amusements as the whirls
of the old Virginia reel were in-
dulged in until dixzy heads prompted
a change, after which came the en-
trancing waits that all lovers of
grace can grow enthused over and
the spirit-arousing two-step by whiéh
energy is greatly made manifest,
then the old-time and very .noisy
party plays of -«Old Brass Wagon"
and "Shooting the Buffaloes", and
lastly, the singing of songs and the
quiet indulgence of maidenly con-
verse;
At a not very late hour, goodbyi
were said accompanied by many ex-
pressions of very profuse thanks to
the hostess for the enjoyable evening.
Those present were: Misses
Lillian and Leona Harvey, Bruce
and Imo Gass, Daniel, Trebby,
Witherspoon, Head,/ Blackwell,
Scott, Wright, ^Rogers and
Mesdames Rogers, Walters and
Ray.

WHEN YOU SEE IT?
When we tell you that some of the best farmers in the country are using our Success
Sulky Plows, Moline Disc Plows and Superior Drills, and have done so for nearly ñve years,
it ought to interest you if you have never used one of them. The Success Sulky Plow has a
world-wide reputation which we cannot add to and is superior to any plow on the market.
The Moline Disc is superior to all in width and depth of farrow and wearing of boxings and
has a four or six horse hitch with no side draft. The Superior Drill has so many good and
exclusive features we can't even begin to name them. Come and see for yourself.

LAIRD
A Fable, Moral and All.
Not long ago, the engine, run-
ning a great factory employing hun-
dreds of hands, got out of fix.
Every $flort of the engineer to make
his engine go proved fruitless.
Meantime every hand was idle.
Finally an expert machinest was
called in. He looked over the sit-
uation for a minute, picked up a
hammer, and struck a certain part
of the machinery three hard raps,
laid the hammer down and said,
"Now she'll go," and she did.
When his bill was presented it
read "For repairing engine, due 25
cents; for knowing how, due$24.75.
The above may sound like an
'fad" of the Tyler, Texas College,
but it actually, occurred. The
moral is, it takes very little while to
do things when you know how; and
he who knows how holds the magic
key to the storehouse of the world.
If this moral should cause you to
attend Tyler Commercial College
and learn how to do work paying
$600 to $2000. a year, it might be
life's turning point to you, and the
best thing to do after all.

Notice to Parents.
It seems that some of our patrons
do not understand the purpose we
have in view in requiring pupils who
are tardy or absent to bring excuses.
We know that this works a hardship
on those parents whose children are
absent only when they have , a reas-
onable excuse for being so. While
we regret this condition, yet it is
recognized as the only reasonable
means that teachers have of guard-
ing against the evil of "playing
hookey," an evil which if unre-
strained would soon ruin the effect-
iveness of the work in any school.
Our patrons will also recognize the
fact that we cannot excuse one pupil
from bringing an excuse without
excusing all. There are other
reasons for requiring pupils to bring
excuses but we hope these will be
sufficient. We consider this regula-
tion necessary for the welfare of
the school, so all pupils will be re-
quired to bring excuses as requested
by their respective teachers.

Sno*.
An excellent snow fell in this
portion of the Panhandle on Satur-
day night and Sunday which will
very greatly benefit the wheat crop.
It is estimated? that the fall amounted
to between three and four inches.
It was not very cold during the
storm, hence no damage was done
to cattle. It was becoming some-
what dry and this snow came just
in time to give a renewed growth to
wheat, and those who sowed this
croo are rejoicing over the Drosoects.

Murder in Second Degree.

Lee Cannon at Dalhart last * inter.
It will be remembered that Lucas
was in Cannon's saloon when an
altercation occurred in which he
•tabbed Cannon. The penalty was
placed at twenty years' confinement
in the penitentiary.
