BRICK MAKING QUALITIES.
Hereford Dirt, in the Opinion of Ex.
perts, Would Make Fine Brick.
There has been a great deal of
talk in the past as to the brick mak-
ing qualities of Hereford dirt.
Everyone who has had any ex-
perience in that line seems to be of
the opinion that our dirt will make
an exceptional fine quality of brick.
Sometime ago a quantity of this dirt
was sent to the brick works at Den-
ton, the managers thereof agreeing,
for a certain price, to give it a fair
test, but instead of so doing, placed
it in a kiln with fire brick dirt, and
the result was that Hereford's dirt
was melted, resembling, after being
taking from the kiln, iron ore more
than anything else.
However, we understand that
another trial is soon to be made by
the Hereford Planing Mill and Con-
struction Company, who will ship
this dirt to be tested. After having
given the Hereford dirt a fair test,
should the experiment be successful,
a company will at once be organized
and a plant for brick making in-
stalled at once.
Such an enterprise would not only
be a benefit to Hereford, but to the
entire Panhandle country, and
would enable business men of this
section of the country to erect brick
houses nearly as cheap as frame.
For Sale Cheap.
I will sell my land in Hereford
cheap. 9 acres in the west part of
town and house and lot I got from
C. L. Davis. See me for a bargain,

A Liberal Education.
The modern girl's education is in-
complete unless she has learned:
To sew.
To cook.
To mend.
To be gentle.
To dress neatly.
To keep a secret.
To avoid idleness.
To be self-reliant.
To darn stockings.
To respect old age.
To make good bread.
To keep a house tidy.
To make home happy.
To control her temper.
To be above gossipping.
To take care of the sick.
To sweep down cobwebs.
To take care of the baby.
To take plenty of exercise.
To read the very best of books.
To keep clear of trashy literature.
To be light-hearted and fleet-
footed.
When she has learned all this, if
she does not grow wings and fly
away to a better land, she will
make some lucky man a most ex-
cellent wife.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Leader Wind Mill.
In securing the agency for the
Leader Wind Mill, we are thor-
oughly convinced from observation
of mills for the past 15 months, that
we were securing a wood mill that
has no superior in point of con-
struction, and if you will come and
let us show you the mill, think we
can easily convince you of this fact,
and will show you a few features
that we consider an advantage over
other mills of similar construction.

Read It Both Ways.
The London Express prints this
poem with a double reading. Read
it as it stands, and woman is highly
flattered, but read alternate lines
(one and three, two and four of
each verse) and the sentiment is
very much the reverse :
Happy a man may pass his life
If he's directed by a wife;
If free from matrimonial chains
He's sure to suffer from his pains.
No tongue is able to unfold
The virtues in woman you behold;
The faiseholds that in woman dwell
Are almost imperceptible.
In woman's heart you'll see appear
Truth, darling of a heart sincere;
Hypocrisy, deceit and pride,
In woman never can abide.
Destruction take the men. I say,
Who no regard to woman pay,
Who make the woman their delight,
Keep always reason in their sight.
Will Bear Watching.
Whenever you hear a man con-
demning a newspaper or its editor
because of some published article,
you may rest assured that said
article was the means of turning the
searchlight of investigation upon
some of his evil deeds or motives.
No man with truly honest purposes
has anything to fear from news-
papers, and very few of them will
ever be heard denouncing them.
But those whose motives and actions
will not bear investigation fear the
light and are loud in their denoun-
ciation of the local paper if it gives
utterance to anything not in accord
with their evil notions. Whenever
a man begins to condemn newspapers
generally, his neighbors had better
begin to watch him.—Ex.
Another Boy Jilted.
Yes, poor fellow, disappointed in
love, mother and sisters in the east,
nobody sews on buttons for him.
Esca Harrison knows how to sympa-
thize with him, and has laid in a full
supply of batchelor buttons, and for
a side issue, a clean new line of
shoes, hosiery, hats, gloves, pants,
neckwear and underwear. Why not
see these goods before buying? 18tf
Dr. Irby of Weatherford, Texas,
was called to Amarillo last week
to consult with Drs. Johnson &Mag-
nenat in regard to the illness of
Addison Clark, Jr., who has been
confined to his bed for weeks at his
father's home. After the consulta-
tion it was decided to take Mr.
Clark to Weatherford for treatment.
He left Sunday at noon accompained
by his father and mother.—Amarillo
