6ae Brand MaRaa If Initial Appearance
Meets Approval
As per announcement in former
issues of this paper, the Panhandle's
new publication, The Brand, made
its initial appearance on the 1st. inst.,
and, judging by the expressions of
approval by the people here and
elsewhere in the Panhandle, its suc-
cess is already assured. What is
more to the point, this approval of
the people is taking a very substan-
tial means of expression, and the
subscriptions are pouring in at a rate
very gratifying to the publishers.
Notwithstanding the many rever-
ses met with by the promoters of the
new journal in getting it started, it
made a very creditable appearance.
The sickness of the editor, then of
one of the publishers, and some of
the office help, caused some appre-
hensions lest the paper should not
make its appearance at the appointed
time, and it was found impossible to
carry out fully the intentions of the
proprietors in this the first issue, in
either the editorial or mechanical
departments of the publication, owing
to the aforementioned causes. As
stated before, however, The Brand
made a very creditable appearance,
and will prove a splendid advertising
medium for the Panhandle and its
resources.
While the paper is not up to the
high standard which the proprietors
have set for it, it nevertheless makes
a neat appearance, and reflects credit
pot alone upon the town in which it
is printed but the Panhandle at large.
At the present time it makes its ap-
pearance as a monthly, sixteen pages
including handsome cover. It is the
intention of the publishers, though,
to turn it into a weekly as soon as
practicable, also to increase the
number of pages.
In his salutatory the editor takes
■occasion to remark that, "The suc-
cess or failure of The Brand de-
pends largely—almost wholly—upon
the people of the Panhandle country.
By this we do not endeavor to shirk
any responsibility ourselves; but we
would remind our readers that an
undertaking of this kind requires
something more than newspaper abil-
ity : it require! the hearty co-opera-
tion of every class of our citizen-
ship—which we believe we have
already."
This U true, and the up-to-date
and progressive citizen of.the plains
will not need to have the truth im-
pressed upon his mind with any
greater emphasis. Indeed, such
people will at once leco^nize the va-
lue of such a periodical to the plains
country, and will lend their assistance
to make it a success without solici-
tation. To the people of Hereford
we wish to say that the success o£
such an enterprise in our town means
much in its growth upward and on-
ward, and we do noMleem it neces-
sary to impress up«m them the neces-
sity of co-operáiion, for they can
readily see the Benefits which will
accrue to the town in event of its
success. It means a great deal to
the town, and consequently every
citizen of the town. And we are
glad to see that they are not slow in
taking hold.
The new periodical starts out upon
its journey under the most favorable
prospects, and we have no hesitancy
in predicting for it a brilliant future
and the accomplishment of much
good for the Panhandle of Texas,
soon to be recognized as the greatest
and grandest stock-farming country
on the globe.

Reduced Price.
The publishers of The Brand,
the Panhandle's new publication, are
pleased to announce that the hearty
support afforded them by the people
of the plains has enabled them, al-
ready, to reduce the subscription
price of their paper from $1.50 per
year to $1.00 per year. Those who
have already paid the former price
of $1.50 for a year's subscription,
will be credited with 50 cents on the
subscription books of The Brand
and they will receive the paper for
eighteen months, instead of only one
year.
We are indeed pleased with the
patronage accorded the new journal,
and we feel sure the people of the
plains will appreciate the efforts of
the publishers to give them a good
paper at a cheap price. We believe
the reduction in price will enable
them to get many more subscribers,
who would not otherwise take the
paper. Let uc ail join in making it
go-
Notice.

Hogg Shies At Knee Pants.
A distpatch from London says:
All the arrangements had been com-
pleted with the United States Am-
bassador, Joseph Choate, to enable
former Gov. Hogg of Texas, who is
in London, to be presented to King
Edward at the forthcoming levee.
A hitch occurred, however, for Mr.
Hogg found he must appear in knee
breeches, sword, etc., the regula-
tion court dress.
"Never," said Mr. Hogg, "if I
can not appear in tKe ordinary even-
ing dress of an American citizen I
will not appey at all. A pretty
sight I would look rigged up in those
gewgaws. I have not the faintest
idea of trying to revolutionize or
even criticise English customs, but,
blamed if I'll wear another country's
uniform—no. Not even for the sake
of meeting the King.,,

There are indications for a lively
race for congress in this the 13th
district this year between John H.
Stephens of Vernon, the present in-,
cumbent, and C. L. Potter of Gaines-
ville. The fight promises to be fast
and furious. Our observation leads
us to believe that the friends of some
former aspirants will combine with
the friends of Potter in an effort to
encompass Stephens in defeat. It
should be Stephens or Potter and
nota "dark black" candidate who
receive the nomination.—Clarendon
