FRIDAY, December 13, 1901
A COMPANY in London is engaged
in the manufacture of flying machines
and has put them on the market at
950 pounds each.
President Roosevelt has remov-
ed Governor Jenkins of Oklahoma and
has appointed Thos. B. Ferguson of
Watonga to the place. The new
governor is a newspaper man.

The Wright dispensary system
bill passed both houses of the Georgia
legislature. This plan is deemed
as a happy middle ground, since it
destroys the saloon and its allure-
ments, yet enables or\e to get the
pure article without the evasion of
law.- -Texas Observer.

The Dalhart Sun thinks it would
have been better if President Roose-
velt had given Booker Washington a
quarter to buy his diqner at the near-
est restaurant. It would have saved
a lot of newspaper space that could
have been devoted to some more im-
portant matter, anyhow.

It will be remembered Oom Paul,
on the outbreak of the Boer war, de-
clared that humanity would be stag*
gered by results. Humanity has,
indeed, been staggered, but it has
been by the ügures just given out by
the Daily News of London that the
death rate in the concentration camps
in South Africa is incomparab'.y
worse than the mortality figures of
Indian famines, where cholera and
epidemics have to be contended with.
England should bow her head in
shame. -Houston Chronicle.

One Lee Doran was sitting on the

came walking * down the aisle

from his hip pocket and was discharg-
ed, the ball striking Curtis, who was
at once removed from the train and
taken to a hotel at Memphis, and sur-
geons sent for from Ft. Worth. Do-
ran was arrested and lodged in jail.
Mr. Curtis, whose condition is re-
ported critical, is known all over the
Panhandle, and has many friends
here. He is extensively interested in
ranch property in this country, and
is one of the Panhandle's most wide-
ly known ranch men.
Sold Out.
A deal was consumated this week
whereby A. J. Lipscomb, the well
known druggist of the firm of Bounds
At Lipscomb, surrenders his interest
in that firm to W. R. Ward of Bridge-
port, who will take charge the first
of January.
Mr. Ward is a newcomer to our
town, but he is a very genial gentle-
man, and will doubtless make many
friends, and have no trouble in es-
tablishing himself in the esteem of
the people.
Mr. Lipscomb has been connected
with the firm since last July. He is
one of our most highly respected
citizens, and in his retirement is
followed by the good will of every-
one. He will remain in Hereford,
but has not yet decided as to what
business he will engage in.
Judge W. B. Plenums.
On Wednesday of last week a
died in Amarillo whose memory will
ever remain sacred in the hearts of
Panhandle people- not because of
the external paraphernalia of great-
ness or goodness with which he may
have been endowed, but solely for
those riches of soul and mind that
had proved him to be—a man.
The silver cerd was loosed and
\
the golden bowl was broken, and the
Reaper took from earth the soul of
—a Man.
Judge Plemons, during his lifetime,
held positions of trust and honor.
He was one of the pioneer plains-
men, and has done more for the Pan-
handle than any other one man liv-
ing. He stood high in the esteem of
his fellow-men, and his it was to com-
mand the respect—aye, veneration
—of all. But higher than all these,
he was a Man.
A typical southern gentleman of
the old school, he was admired for
all those concomitant qualities of
sterling wealth of mind and grace of
action. But he was loved because he
was just a Man.
He was an honored member of
several fraternal orders, and was
closely associated with that class of
citizenship which represents the high-
est type of the material worth and
platonic value of this world. But if
Judge Plemons could be recalled
from the dead today he would claim
no higher title than that of a Man,
and no higher honor than that which
accompanies it.
Greater than these could no man
bestow.
He fulfilled as near as in his power
the demand of his God and his coun-
tiy in that one compound, Man. But
he possessed those attributes of char-
acter that entitled him most preemi-
nently to the claim.
He subscribed to n j creed, and h
pinioned his soul ta the narrow con-
fines of no dogma. But herloved his
fellow-man with an unselfish love,
as broad as the universe, as deep as
space and as lasting as eternity.
<He was a friend to the stranger,
he fed the hungry, clothed the naked
and gave drink to the thirsty.
Has creed or dogma done more ?
"Forasmuch as ye did it to one
of the leastof these, ye it to me."
