Delegation Goes to Lubbock—People
have bought the Short Line.
While the Lubbock delegation was
here last week, a contract was made
with the people along the line of the
Panhandle Short Line to the end
that Col. J. H. Ransom sells his in-
terest in the road. Acting for the
committee of citizens, a call was
issued for a mass meeting to be held
at the court house Tuesday night
for the purpose of electing delegates
to a general mass meeting to be held
at Lubbock on today, Friday, Aug.
30. Accordingly a representative
body of citizens met at the hour ap-
pointed. Hon. J*. P. Slaton was
elected chairman. Addresses were
made by T. E. Shifley, G. E. Garri-
son, G. A. F. Parker, et al, pointing
out the benefit that Hereford would
derive from the immediate building
of the road. After some further
discussion, the following delegates
were appointed with full power tc
act for the citizens of Hereford at
the Lubbock meeting: L. Gough,
Geo. W. Irwin Jr. T. E. Shirley, C.
S. Garrison, J. D. Thompson, C. G.
Witherspoon, G. A. F. Parker, H.
B. Smith and P. W. Price.
Most of these left by fast autos
for the place of the central meeting
yesterday. The object of the Lub-
bock meeting is to perfect an organi-
zation to finish the road at the
earliest possible time. The people
along the road are taking a greater
interest in the line than ever before,
and now that they have bought out
all others, ani the road is in the
hands of the people along the line,
something is going to be done, and
that without delay. The roadbed
has been completed to Dimmitt, a
distance of 20 miles, and most of the
surveying has been done to Stanton
on the Texas Pacific. The Lubbock
convention will put things in shape
for the grading to be done the full
length of the road and steps taken to
begin the laying of steel on the
Hereford end as far as Dimmitt as
soon as material can be obtained
Now, that the people have taken
the road, there can be no doubt as
to iti completion. There are m< n
amon<* the delegates who have had
several years experience in the rail-
road business and they know what it
means to build a road. One of the
delegates from Hereford, when told
ty the reporter what a Santa Fe re-
presentative had said about his road
owning the Panhandle Short Line
when the road was ready to operate,
said : "The next time you tee your
Santa Fe man. tell him that the Pan-
Firsi Day of Chautauqua Monday, Sept 2nd

¡ -St
Ét
L
Chas, F, Stalkerv Cartoonist
Star Attraction of Opening Day of Chautauqua Assembly
handle Short Line is the people's
road and that the Santa Fe will not
get it, unless they pay for it."
The result of the Lubbock meeting
will not only be of interest to tlu
Panhandle but other parts of the
country as well, It has been said
that the Sinta Fs people would never
let the Panhandle Short Line begin
its northern extension, either to Trini-
dad or Dalhart. That the line will
ultimately be built north is one of
the surest probabilities. Dalhart
has already made an over of suffi-
cient amount to make thiols interest-
ing for the Board of Directors cf the
new road, and Dalhart means busi-
ness.
The Panhandle Short Line when
built will make an entirely new out-
let for the S uthwest No road yet
prejected covers the territory and
any one with the ability to under-
stand a map and to locate the line
of road will deny that it will intersect
a thousand miles of the best country
in Texas and New Mexico. The
tonnage on this road would make it
a paying proposition from the begin-
nine. No other road could come in
<
and crush it, because a new road or
a small road under the present lan^
1 has the same advantage ns the tru. k
'lines. The Panhandle Short Lh ■
will bring Hereford into position to
, demand attention from the Harriman
people as well as to wake up the
Santa Fe. Once Hereford gets a
road running north and south, other
roads will seek this point as they
have Fort Worth and Dallas io Cen-
tral Texas.

J. W. Hough.
"There remaineth therefore a
rest to the people of God"
On Monday August 26th at 7 a.
m., Bro. J. W. Hough entered into
that rest. He was born January 1,
18SJ in South Carolina He grew
to manhood and married in North
Carolina. In 1883 he came to Tex-
as and in 1891 he moved to the
Plains. For six years he has lived
in Hereford. He became a Christ-
I ¡an when 20 years old and united
with the Baptist Church. He was
.one of the most earnest Christian
; workers this writer ever knew. His
J pastor could count on his co-opera-
i tion in every good work. In the
early part of his last illness he talked
much about the church work. He
had a class in the Sunday School of
21 young men and young ladies and
they had agreed to support a mis-
sionary in China for one year, when
he saw that it was the Lord's will
that he should not remain with his
class to carry out their plans he told
j his pastor that he wanted the class
I to carry them out, and that what
they lacked of contributing enough,
should be paid out of the "Lord's
money" which he had in the bank.
During his sickness and in the hour
of death he was the most calm and
submissive man I ever knew. He
assured his faithful companion that
the Lord would bear her burdens for
her. When told that he was passing
away and asked if he felt the Lord
was with him, he answered "Brother
Dean he has been with me all the
time."
All who knew Brother Hough, en-
ter into sympathy with his wife and
children in the loss of one so dear to
them and so useful in the service of
God, but we "sorrow not as others
who have no hope." His influence
will live on in the family, in his Sun-
day School class and in all who knew
, hirn.
The funeral services were conduct-
ed by his pastor assisted by Bro. 0.
F. Smith, in the Baptist Church, at
; 10 a. m. Tuesday. All the business
¡ houses closed for the services and
the church was pick* 1 to overflow-
ing. S;x young men from his class
i art'.d as pall bearers ano the remain-
der of the class march d i 1 the pro-
1 cession and were seated next to the
family during the services. "Weep
n jt, he is not dead but sleepeth."
May the grace of God that sustained
him in the hour of death,prove suffi-
cient for you.
