Results of Good Deeds .
Our friend, T. J. Graves, this
week received a Christmas gift in
the form of a $200 check from a
friend down in Central Texas and
it was an inspiration to all his
friends in Hereford to watch his
smiles for the next few days follow-
ing. This impressive remembrance
from his friend was prompted by a
few voluntary favors which Mr.
Graves had seen fit to grant and
which cost him but little time and
trouble. *
The lesson gathered from the oc-
currence is that kindness and good
deeds will ^lways have their re-
ward*.

On Thanksgiving Day the Jews

their settlement in this country.
The Cossacks on some of the
rivers in Russia have a singular
method of catching fish in winter.
They cut a long trench across a
river when frozen, and run a net
from one bank to the other, then,
riding several miles up *he stream,
they form a line across the frozen
furface and gallop their horses down
toward the nets. The fish, hearing
the noise and clattering of the
horses' hoofs, become frightened,
dart in the opposite direction and are
thus entangled in the nets.
From time immemorial, the camel
has been considered a docile amimal,
but there are times when even this
tall, hump-backed,* crooked-necked
servant of man has turned rogue.
When the camel attacks, it is with
teeth and feet. The broad, flat,
dull grinders intended by nature to
masticate grass and grain, turn to
frightful weapons when used as a
means of attack and defegfé ; a°d
yet the biting of an infuriated ca.
is nothing compared with the terr
execution of which the beast is ca
le with his legs. Like mós

The many friends of Rev. A. W.
Crawford and family will regret to
learn that they have given up their
work at this place and will move at
an early date to Madill, Indian Ter-
ritory, where Brother Crawford has
accepted work.
This excellent family has-lived in
Hereford for a number of years and
Bro. Crawford has been untiring in
his efforts to help the people, where-
ever he has gone, to a better and
more Christ-like life. His work
here has covered a wide-extended
territory, but his undaunted courage
and great devotion to the Cause
have enabled him to do the work
well, and his place in this, field will
be right difficult to fill.
The manse at this place will be
sold and this work will be assigned
to Rev. Pureell of Amarillo.
None of Bro. Crawford's friends
regret to see him leave more than
the Brani?.

eight cents per bushel, we furnish-

help necessary. We can thrash

Gentlemen
Enclosed please find draf for the
sum of $1,00 for which please add
my name to your list of subscribers
for one year.
I called at youi* office last weak
while I was in Hereford and read
your paper. I was interested ia
what the paper said about your
country and people and after making
a drive around the town and a por-
tion of the country I thought I would
like to know more about your cpun-
try. I expect soon to make another
trip to your state with the object of
looking at farm lands and may visit
Hereford before returning.

Scarcity of Coal.
It seems that almost the entire
Panhandle has had to undergo what
would almost be termed a coaL
famine thus-far this winter. Occas-
ionally our local dealers get in a.
few cars and in a short time they
are emptied. However, the fault is;
not to be attached to the dealers,.
but to the railroad company's in-
ability to furnish cars. Some of our
dealers have aq many as twenty cars;
ordered at present and they feel
sure that from now on they will have;
an abundant supply for their trade-
For Sale.
I have for sale, several nice
dwellings, also a number of lots that:
I will sell very reasonable. If you
want something of this kind, it will
be to your interest to see me before
purchasing. N 31-tfe
