Ho Longer a Question.
There no longer remain* a ques-
tion in the minds of many éf ouf
:eestful farmers that this
, one year with another, will
r*~—v a good corn crop. If there
are those here who yet entertain any
doubts, they should walk over the
river just south of town and inspect
the 20-acre field of J. W. Robinson,
which has been grown under the
cultural methods of the Campbell
System. While neighboring fields
of corn suffered slightly for lack of
moisture daring July, the crop

Mr. Wicker Passes Away.
On last Súnday morning soon af-
ter 9 o'clock our entire city was
made sad upon receiving intelligence
of the sudden death of George H.
Wicker which occurred sometime
during the preceding night.
It was Mr. Wicker's custom to
sleep in the drug store which, on be-
ing opened about the hour above
mentioned,'was found to be as silent
as death. Upon farther investiga-
tion it was ascertained that the spirit
had taken its departure during the
darkness of the night, leaving noth-
ing but the cold and lifeless form of
Mr. .Wicker as the heritage of his
friends and loyed ones, the autopsy
showing that death came as the re-
sult of heart failure.
Mr. Wicker ate a hearty supper
on the preceeding evening and
seemed to be hale and strong. He
sat in the store with friends till
about 11 o'clock, when he retired to
rise no more.
Deceased had been identified with
the business interests of this city for
several years, during which time the
integrity of his purposes and {he up-
right and hohest life which he lived
won for Jai^a place in the fullest
confidence and highest esteem of all
who knew.-fljim. He was especially
popular with the young people of the
town Who will greatly miss his smil-
ing face and cordial greetings. The
best part Of Mr. Wicker's life was
that he was loyal to the teachings of
Christianity which was made mani-
fest by the pure life which he lived,
he being a member of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church.
In the absence of any of his rela-
tives and it being impossible to reach
them with a message, the local Ma-
sonic lodge, of which deceased was
an honored mender, took charge of
the Body, after «brief talk at the
Presbyterian Church by Rev. T. S.
Barcus, and laid it to rest in the
city cemetery on Sunday afternoon
accompanied by the usual impressive
ceremonies with which that ancient
order honors its dead.
Our entire community is greatly
pained by the death of this friend.
Invitation to all.
You are invited to inspect our
elegant display Qf new street and
tailored hats. You will be pleased
and interested in our new goods and

Hats that are causing such a stir in

tember at which time we ask you to

22 and 23, and come early and avoid

Hereford Mercantile Co. /
Hardware Store Boms.
On Thursday morning of last
week, between the hours of 6 and 7,
fire broke out in the hardware store
of Guy Gamble at Tezico and soon
passed beyond the control of the
local fire boys, consuming the build-
ing with its contents. The fire is
supposed to have originated from the
explosion of a lamr. .
While Mr. Gamble's loss is rather
heavy, it is partly covered by
insurance which will enable him to
rebuild and open for business again
in a few weeks.
Mr. Gamble has many friends
here who wi}l regret to learn of his
loll.

Record Breaker.
R. N. Mounts and J. H. Kelley,
two of our foremost stockmen, broke
this season's record on last Satur-
day when they delivered to Fagan &
Wright of Kafisas 662 head of year-
ling steers at the high figures of $19.
Of the number above mentioned, Mr.
Mounts sold 614 and Mr. Kelly 48
head.
This is said by cattlemen to be the
best all-round herd which has been
shipped from this point this year
and so far as is known here the price
received is a record breaker for the
entire Panhandle.
Neither of the above named
gentlemen does things by halves, to
which fact, alone, is attributable
their being able to sell yearling
steers at the enormous price of $19.
Sixty Cars Ordered.
A« a slight indication of the vol-
ume of live stock going out from
Hereford now-a-days, it should be
stated that there have been orders
placed for sixty cars for next Sun-
day's shipments. This being the
shipping point for a large area of
country, there will perhaps more
cattle go out from here this season
than from any other point in West
Texas. It is pleasing to note that
the majority of the cattle which pass
this way are well graded, usually of
the celebrated Hereford breed.

Mr. Brown is a very pleasant

the settlement of the great West,
and the fact that he is bringing from
one to two cars of homeseekers to
