CHILDRESS, TEXAS
West End 42 Club With Mrs.
Liebold.
Since the 42 Club was organ-
ized a fow weeks ago, it has been
yery enthusiastically attended by
the members and visitors; but no
more pleasant afternoon ha9
been enjoyed than that spent
with Mrs. E. G. Liebold on last
Friday. The day was ideal and
all felt in the mood for such en-
tertainment. There were twenty
eager players present, and each
one bent on winning the high
score. However the honor fell
to Mrs. F. R Friend and Miss
Blanche Boyd who made a
score of eight out of a possible
ten.
After the games had been
finished and the score announced,
the guests wore served very
delightful refreshments. The
hostess will be gratefully re-
membered by all present for hav
ing entertained so charmingly.
Mrs. Friend will entertain on
Wednesdav afternoon Dec. 10.

Ver- Has Been Unusually Success-
ful
Sante Fe Wreck at Amarillo.
Amarillo, Texas, Dec. 7, "08.—
Sante Fe passenger trains No.
28, westbound, and No 201, east
bound, collided at Haney, a
blind siding fourteen miles west
of Amarillo, yesterday about 11
o'clock, killing Engineer Ed Ma-
ham and Mail Clerk James K.
Smith of Carlsbad, N. M., of
the first named train and serious-
ly wounding others of the crews.
The wounded include Conductor
Barney Nelson of Amarillo, of
the eastbound, W. S. Alberts of
the westbound. Engineer Ander-
son of the eastbound and Fire-
man Holatein of Roswell, N. M.
on the westbound. A number of
passengers received minor inju-
ries, but it is belioved that no
hurts of a serious nature result-
ed. The injured together with
the dead, were hurried to Ama-
rillo.
The ingenious unfolding of
the story of the "TWO OR-
PHANS," by many regarded as
the most appealing story ever
told in play form, has been ab-
sorbing the attention of theater-
goers for a quarter of a century,
but the great play still holds its
place among the most popular
dramas of the day. It is welcome
every season, and it is especial-
ly pleasing to learn that the
production to be see at the Chil-
dress Opera House Friday Dec.
11, i9 made with the only au-
thorized KATE CLAYTON ver-
sion. This alone gives the right
and complete impression of the
true greatness of this drama. In
securing Miss Clatxon's Version,
just as she developed it to per-
fection with her genius and years
of experience, Mr. Conrad, the
Manager of the Company which
i9 to appear, laid the foundation
for deserved success.

Orient to San Angelo
Months.
Sweetwater, Texas, Dec. 7.—
With the completion Saturday of
the Orient road from Kansas
City to Sweetwater, a distance of
570 miles, President Stilwell an-
nounced that the line will be run-
ning into San Angelo within six
months at the most.
Bonds have been placed. Still-
well declares the road will be ex-
tended into Mexico in two years,
Notice.
All parties in debted to The
Norris Implement Company, are
requested to call at once and
make satisfactory arrangements
oovering their notes and ac-
counts. Mr. S. P. Britt, Vice-
President, has charge of the col-
lections and will attend your
wants.
Our circumstanoes force us to
insist upon closing all past due
notes and accounts,
Respectfully,
H. E. Sherwood, Manager.
Thecomingof Fred G. Con-
| rad's production of the "TWO
ORPHANS" will be awaited
with interest. It will be the at-
; traction at the Childress Opera
j House, Friday night, Doc. 11.
The continued success of this
J play is due to its substantial
merits and Manager Canrad has
made sure of getting all of them
by securing the only authorised
KATE CLAXTON VERSION.
For this, he is to be congratulat-
ed, since the temptation is strong
to economize by using some
garbled adaption which hides the
true greatness of this master-
piece. Mr. Conrad seems to
have been unusually successfull
in getting together a Company
which is unusually strong and,
with the proper equipment of
scenery which he promises, the
engagement here should add to !
his reputation as a producer who;
can be trusted to offer something'
excellent.
Anti-Pass Law Will Make
Session Short.
Austin, Texas, Dec. 9.—While
it is not likely that there will be
any extensive investigations to
interest and entertain the legis-
lators during the next session,
■uch as characterized the last
legislature, still there will be
much for the lawmakers to do
when they convene in the big
granite building on the hill on
the second Tuesday next month.
If no other bills were introduced,
the number of recommendations
and changes in the various laws
suggested by the state officials
and heads of the various institu-
tions, will be sufficient to keep
the solons busy for at least three
months, which it is now thought
will be the length of the next
session, but it would not be at all
unlikely to see the session pro-
longed beyond that time. Out-
side of all other business it usu-
ally takes thirty days to dispose
finally of the general appropria-
tion bill, consequently ninety
days is the shortest time in which
the lawmakers can complete the
task.
One thing is certain, however,
and that is that the work will be
dispatched with greater alacrity
than heretofore, as the members
will be minus of the neatly en-
graved little cards which hereto-
fore they have been favored with
by the railroads which prompted j
many little jaunts back home to!
see the dear people. This will'
now have to be done by corre-
spondence as three cents a mile
is quite an item to have to dis-
gorge for railroad fare. That an
effort will be made to amend the
anti-pass law is practically cer-
tain, and one of the proposed
amendments is one to permit
newspapers to exchange adver-
tising space for transportation.
The average country newspaper
publisher was hit hard when the
law passed so as to exclude this
privilege, and since that there
has been very little traveling on
the part of the country editor.
He hopes, however, thatthe'com
ing legislature will straighten out
this kink in the anti pass law.
Conductor Gets Life Sentence
Fort Worth, Dec. 7.—Sam
Hampton, formerly a Texas &
Pacific conductor here but now
imprisoned in Mexico City, sent-
enced to be shot, charged with
killing a man, will get his sent-1
ence commuted to a life term, if
the efforts of Attorney F. B. Stan
ley avail. Hampton will be given
a final hearing this month. It is
supposed to be a mere formality, :
but Stanley interceded with Diaz
and expects leniency.

Kirkland Items.
T. L. Allison of the Matador
Messenger and Kirkland En-
terprise, was in Kirkland last
Sunday, leaving for Paducah
on Monday. Mr. Allison and
Mr. J. C. Lewon have
purchased the Paducah Post, and
it will hereafter be under the
management of Mr. Allison who
it seems is going to be the
Hearst of the Panhandle.
The boys amused themselves
Sunday night by giving the
house of Mr. J. W. Furr an old
fashioned chiriviri. After beat-
ing the bottoms out of tin pans,
cans, etc., Mr. Furr went up
from a neighbor's house where he
and wife were visiting and told
them they would not likely get
any response as no one was at
home and the laugh was on the
boys.
Kirkland Lodge 1. O. O. F.
elected the following officers for
the ensuing term; .J. M. Wilder,

Our new hotel will be opened ■
in a week or ten days. Mr. W. '
H, Carttidge, the owner of the

and being an experienced man
in the business will give the

The furnishings will be of the
best.
Miss Emma Williams of Fletch-
or Oklahoma is here visiting her
friend, Miss Bonnie Bedford at
the Bedford Hotel.
J. M. Wilder has moved into
his new, handsome residence and
has one of the oosie3t houses in
the town.
The much boasted prosperity
promised by the Republican
boosters prior to the election has
arrived and the recipients thereof
are very sick of the dose. Cotton
is down to an unprofitable price,
and money—well you just can't
get it.
