Jolly crowd that took possession „r

Plenty of Hood think* to eat were

A J. Cooper wan accompanied by
Ills wife and son, A .1 Jr,, to Port
Worth Thursday afternoon of last
week, and Monday morning he un-
derwent an operation for a tumor on
the brain. Word came yesterday af-
ternoon that ho wo* apparently get-
ting along all right, but two or three
day* more will have to pas* before
the doctors will know how success-
ful the operation ha* been. Effort*
are being made to keep him sleeping
most of the time. All hope that Mr.
Cooper may soon be all right again
und hack at his work.

ECHOES OF THE FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Account Is given elsewhere of the
reception given Nuturduy at the First
National Bank, and of the bunkers
banquet Saturday evening at the ho-
tel Without detracting In the slight-
est degree from the success of this
celebration, but rather to add to It,
u little mention Is made of the re-
ception which hus been given to the
Anniversary Edition put out by The
Banner force lust week. This has
been flattering in the extreme, and
It has been appreciated by the force
in a way that Is beyond words to ex-
press.
To put out an edition of that kind
without any Increase of the regular
force wun an undertaking that hud
to be attacked somewhat blindly;
with no very good Idea of how It wu*
to be done, but with the bleu that
II was to be done. And after the thing
was finished, and beyond possibility

minder for signaling when cooking is finished;

22 pages hi thul. edition. The regu-
lar weekly section w'us ten pages, and
the hunk section wu* twelve pages.
It took a bunch of type setting und
nows collecting to fill all those pages,
outside of the advertising space, but
the thing was done somehow, with
four columns of reading mutter left
over ut the last. A little matter of
890 pounds of newsprint was used
in running off the circulation.
Perhaps the most appreciated part
of the paper was' that In connection
with events that took place along
about when the First National was
established. The town was on some-
what of a tear then, and It makes a
person somewhat dizzy now to think
of the excitement taking place then.
With little or no experience with real
conditions of the country over a per-
iod of years, It Is no wonder that
men lost their* heads, and Invested
far beyond their means, In the hope
of cashing In on the advance In real
estate values. When the boom broke
in the latter part of 1891 It broke
most of the hitherto substantial men
of the place. In the fall of 1891 Col,
J, R McLain was still sinking money
j in the mammoth building that was
' later to become the McLain hotel.
1 When his resources were finally
I wiped out Col, McLain lost the hotel
j and everything else except his home,
I and he at last begun to peddle pro-
I duce to make a living. The unfinish-
ed hotel building remained as a bat
j roost for u number of years until It
was completed. Mr. McLain was
worth probably a quarter million dol-
lars at the holghth of the boom, ac-
cording to one of those who was
here, Judge Jo A. P. Dickson.

Mr> L O Wharton has been In
the General Hospital at Wichita Falls
tlie past week, under treatment for
a complication that involves heart
and kidneys, and with an attendant
high blood pressure. This makes a
filiation hard to control, and thus
fur the treatment has not resulted
as satisfactorily as could be desired.
The treatment Is being changed, and
the hope of the doctors, as well as
everyone here, Is that a distinct
change for the better will be wen
by the last of this week.
