Y. M. C. A. Meeting.
Last Saturday evening a goodly
number of young men interested in
the organizatioin of a Y. M. C. A.
in Hereford met at the Williams &
Harrison gents' furnishing goods
store and heard the report of the
committee appointed at a previous
meeting for the purpose of securing
members to such an organization.
President Clark called for the re-
port, which was read by the secre-
tary, and it was found that forty-
one men were interested enough in
the maintaining of a high standard
of morals among our young men to
join and help organize an institution
calculated toward that end. There
are a great many more, we believe,
who will join as soon as the matter
is properly brought to their atten-
tion. Among those who have signi-
fied their intention of becoming
members of this institution are the
following:
D. H. Walsh, Lee Clark, F. L.
Vanderburgh, T. R. Reagan, G. A.
Sachse, W. H. Russell, Allen Bell,
Thomas Howard, J. H. Hickox, .H.
D. Howard, J. A. Williams, Conner
Jowell, T. J. Coffee, R. F. Hollo-
way, John Boyd, I. Jennings, Judge
Jno. E. Ferguson, Judge L. Gough,
Dr. W. E. Robertson, Dr. R. M.
Johnson, E. E. Dyer, D. F. Johnson,
J. P. Harding, R. L. Ball, O. F.
$mith, Emmett Cardwell, J. H. Card-
well, A. J. Lipscomb, Joe Killough,
J. C. Newman, L. F. Gamble, R. F.
Davidson, J. H. Beach, R. A. Dan-
iel, J. W. DeVaney, T. J. Davis,
G. A. F. Parker, J. P. Snyder, Dr.
R. H. Gough, Esca Harrision and
Ross W. Davis.
On motion the report of the com-
mittee was accepted and President
Clark requested that the committee
continue to act and also requested
that all who were not on the com-
mittee endeavor to obtain members.
The question of a suitable build-
ing was discussed and the following
committee was appointed to see
about raising the funds with which
to erect such a building for the use
|jof the organization: T. R. Reagan,
Conner Jowell, Judge Jno. E. Fer-
guson, Judge L. Gough and F. L.
[Vanderburgh.
It was also decided by those pres-
nt to organize as soon as possible
nd get the business of the organiza-
ion in proper working order.
There being no further business
o transact the meeting adjourned.
e next meeting will be held at
[he call of the president, of which
,mple notice will be given.

Do you want ¿
a Fine Home in
the Panhandle? r
I have for sale one of the best improved sections (640 acres) W
in the Panhandle of Texas, situated three miles east from Here-
ford, the county seat of Deaf Smith County. This section is in w
the valley of the Tierra Blanco river, which intersects it, and
contains over 275 acres which will grow alfalfa profitably with-
out irrigation, making it the best dividend paying section of
land in the Panhandle. There are 55 acres in alfalfa at the
present time, which will cut three crops each year. For the
past nine years an average of xoo tons of valley hay has been
cut from this land yearly, which readily sells at $10 per ton.
.. .Improvements...
Among the improvements on this place are: A modern
$2500 8-room residence, modern $500 2-story barn—26x46 feet
in dimensions with 16-foot walls—corrals and out-buildings.
Has a 75-foot well, containing 35 feet of pure water, with a
10,000 gallon storage tank and a water-works system supplying
house and barn with water. A 16-foot Eclipse windmill with
6-inch cylinder supplies ample water to irrigate a 20-acre garden
patch. This property would be an ideal one for party wishing
to engage in the fine stock business. My reason for selling is
that other business demands my attention.

Cut Both Ways.
A farmer's boy in Scotland was
charged with attempting to steal an
article from a shop door. In plead-
ing his case he said he didn't steal
the thing- *'he was only gaun tae
dae it."
Whereupon the judge informed
him that to do it and going to do it
were all the same and that he would
have to pay a fine of 10 shillings or
go to jail for ten days.
The boy, not having the money,
was allowed to go and get it from a
friend. In a little while he was
seen standing in the court, and when
asked if he had got the money to
pay his fine he answered :
"Na, but I was gaen tae dae it,
and ye said that gaen tae dae it and
dae it were jist the same. I'm
thinking you and me'U be aboot
clear noo."—Pearson's.
