Thanksgiving day has come
and gone, family reunions have
taken place and people have
spent more or less time recount-
ing the good things of life that
have fallen to their lots. The
country as a whole has much for
which to be thankful. Unprece-
notwithstanding the national
campaign the country is at
peace with all the world; the
promise of the future is bright.
In Texas and our own county we
have prosperity, abundance and
health. Let us be thankful for
what we enjoy.

The turkey shipping industry
from Decatur for the past two
weeks has called forth many ex
pressions of surprise from most
every observing citizen in the
community. M D. Sellars and
J. Kirkpatrick have handled the
bulk of the product and report
an expenditure that exceeds by
far that of any former year. Ap
proximately 1500 turkeys have
been shipped from Decatur to
Colorado markets, the price paid
the raisers averaging over $1.00
per head. To get the fowls out
on time t he shippers employ e d
several men night and day mak-
ing coops, and express agent
Moore telegraphed the company
headquarters for an extra car to
take away the crates. The fowls
were all good specimens of their
breed and were fat enough to be
in tine condition for consumption.
One of the most salient fea-
turesof Gov. Hogg's recent ad
dress in Decatur was his pre-
pbetical forecast of an approach
ing crisis in the political affairs
of Texas Silent’y and subtlv
the treacherous enemies of equal
burdens and privileges are
forming their designs for an on
slaught on the nominating con
ventions that are to occur two
years hence. It is gradually
dawning on the Texas people
that they are unexpectedly close
to the claws of an unmerciful
corporation octopus and that un-
less they awake from their in-
difference they will find them-
selves helpless in the strangling
embrace of this greatest of mod-
ern enemies to free government
From Gov. Hogg's remarks we
would gather that his keen sense
of smell has scented the edor of
Southern Pacific machinations
and that his honest courage has
moved him to sound the alarm.
After what he says combined
with what is known of the mel-
ancholy conditions in California,
where every branch of the state
government is operated through
the indirect but amply sufficient
and potent influence of the offi-
cers of the Southern Pacific rail-
way, Texans cannot plead igno-
rance. Already this corporation
is believed bj' many to have
scored its first triumph in this
state in the election of Andrews
to the democratic executive com-

Carlo Ball, an old timer of this
county, left Sunday with his fam-
ily for Canadian. Texas, where
he expects to locate. Mr. Ball
came to this county in 1854 and
is widely known as an excellent
citizen and an industrious, pre -
gressive farmer. He had lived on
bis farm north of town for thir-
ty four years, all but the two old-
est of his nine children having
been born on that farm. His
friends here, who are numerous,
wish him and his estimable fam-
ily all prosperity and happiuess
in their new home, but would
gladly welcome them back to our
midst.
