Officers Are Elected—Will Consist
of Seventeen Members.
The members of Hereford's new
band met on Monday evening and
elected the following officers:
President J. M. McGlothlin ; vice-
president, R. F. Holloway; sec-
retary, L. G. Dameron; assistant
secretary, Allen G. Bell; treasurer,
S. C. Wilson; janitor, Claud Wither-
spoon; finance committee, W. E.
Rush, R. F. Holloway and Cbnner
Jowell.
The band will start out under the
best of auspices, as their instruments
are of the best made—the Cohn
instruments of Elkhart, Ind. which
ariived Wednesday. The band will
meet for practice in the school house
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-
days of each week. As many of
the members are experienced in the
band business Instructor Strain ex-
pects that by the time three months
have elapsed the boys will be com-
petent to appear in public and render
some exceedingly fine music.
Our business men should bear in
mind that it takes cash to properly
conduct an institution of this kind
and should give the boys all the en-
couragement possible. It should be
borne in mind that, contrary to the
usual custom, the boys are purchas-
ing their own instruments and are
not asking for any donations for that
purpose. If the boys don't ask for
assistance it should be given them
voluntarily, as it is going to draw
upon the members pretty heavily to
pay for their own instruments and
then meet the current expenses, such
as new music, instructor's salary,
lights, etc., out of their own private
funds. When you have a dollar
or more that you can spare you
should hand it to Treasurer Wilson,
to be used for the benefit of the band.
I. Jennings of Abilene, the mana-
ger of the Burton-Lingo Company's
new lumber yard to be established
at this place, came in Wednesday
and paid this office a pleasant visit.
He informs us that some of the
lumber for his yard is already here
and more will immediately follow.
He gave us a nice order for job
work which we appreciate.
College Bull Sold.
As had been advertised in this pa-
per F. H. Britain on Tuesday sold
a high grade Shorthorn bull, the
proceeds going to the Hereford
College fund. At 1:30 p. m. Judge
L. Gough auctioned off the animal,
the purchaser being R. H. Norton,
who paid $47.50 for the same. Thus
the college fund is swelled by that
amount. Mr. Britain also had the
judge sell another animal of the
same excellent breed, the buyer be-
ing W. W. O'Harrow, who paid $35
THE. ^
for the transfer of ownership.
Mr. Britain is to be heartily com-
mended for the interest he has thus
shown for the college and we will
ever revere him as one of our most
public spirited citizens. May many
more follow the excellent example
he has set.
BRAND
S. E. McDonald gave a stere-
optican entertainment and lecture at
the Christian church last Tuesday
evening. The views were from the
celebrated "Passion Play," the life
of Christ. On account of unforseen
circumstrnces the machine did not
work to the satisfaction of Mr. Mc-
Donald and he gave a free perform-
ance of the same on Wednesday
evening.
John Boyd is now riding the best
wheel made—the "Thistle"—for
which he is the local agent. If you
contemplate purchasing a bicycle
this season you should investigate
the merits and extremely low price
of the "Thistle" before buying else-
where.
Mrs. F. J. Clinkinbeard left today
for Norton, Kansas, where she will
henceforth reside, her husband hav-
ing been elected to the position of
cashier of a newly organized bank
at that place.
Rev. Randolph Clark of Lancaster
came in on yesterday's train and is
visiting his daughter, Mrs. R. F.
Holloway.

Where the Spank weed Grows.
There's a corner in our garden, but my
nurse won't tell me where,
That little boys must never see, but always
must beware,
And in that corner, all the year in row*
and rows and rows,
A dreadful little flower called the
Spankweed
Grows I
My nursie says that if a boy who doesn't
wash his face,
Or pulls his little sister's hair, should ever
find that place,
The spankweed would jump at him and
dust his little clothes.
Oh, it's never safe tor fellers where the
Spank#eed
Grows!
Some day I'll get the sickle from our hired
man, and then
I'll go and find that spankweed place—it's
somewhere in the glen.
And when I get a-swingin' it and puttin' in
my blows,
I bet there'll be excitement where the
Spankweed
Grows!

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.
The Dallas News to Print a Mam-
moth Illustrated Edition on
That Occasion.
On Wednesday, April 23, the Dallas Morn-
ing News will issue the largest paper ever
printed in Texas. It will be fully equal to
the great Confederate Reunion taking place
in Dallas at that time.
It will contain a magnificent historical ac-
count of the reunion, and many special arti-
cles peculiarly appropriate will be printed.
There will be hundreds of illustrations in
fine half tone, and to meet the demand the
News has just installed its own photo-en-
graving plant.
There will also be a splendid illustrated
write-up of Dallas, besides special articles
exploiting the resources and advantages oí
Texas in general.
It will be the aim to make it the .finest pa-
per in all particulars ever printed in the
southwest.
The demand for it will be unprecedented,
and will tax the great capacity of the presses
of the News to the utmost in getting it out.
It is important that those woo wish copie
of the paper should send in their order in
advance so as to be sure to get them.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of the pa-
per the price will be only 5 cents a copy.
Anyone wishing copies should remit for them
at once, giving their address plainly written.
Address orders to Rennion Department of
The News, Dallas, Texas. 8-Jt
