A BANK is as indispensible in every business community as any other
branch of business.
BANKS ARE useful as places bf security to deposit money. They are
necessary and important to persons who wish to borrow—to the farmer who
buys a farm, or to tide him over from the time of planting to* the harvest
period; to the business man who needs additional funds in his operations.
THE BANK acts in this double capacity: It gathers the surplus mon-
ey of a community; offers its capital as a guarantee of its safe return; iloans
a part of this money to the active members of the community stimulating
activity in all lines of commerce. The extent that the Bank holds in its
custody the funds of its community, to that extent it is of value and a ben-
efit in that community.
A BANK ACCOUNT is a safe way to keep your money.
PAYMENT BY CHECK is convenient, saves time, guards against er-
rors, furnishes a good record of your transactions, is useful when a pay-
ment is disputed.
A BANK ACCOUNT of an individual is a valuable record of his income
and expenditure.
A BANK ACCOUNT is an education to the depositor. Acquaints him
with the value of keeping a record, gives him a better idea of business af-
fairs. Keeps him in touch with theaffairs of his community. Gives him
the benefit of the Bank’s experience, knowledge and advice pertaining to
investments and other matters.
A BANK ACCOUNT is a great help in saving money. It becomes the
one ambition .of the man who has a sum of money, large or small, to his
credit in the Bank to strive to increase that sum.
THE RICHEST MEN in the country never carry money in their pock-
ets, hut put it in Banks. *If you have no Bank account start one a$ once,
no matter how small the beginning. This Bank accords careful considera-
tion to the-small as well as to the large depositor. We want yoyr busi-
ness. ‘ ,..T ,

The morning sun dawned bright-
and clear on the morning of July 15,
«^nd ushered in one of the best re-unr
ions ever given by the old Confeder-
ate veterans at this ^)lace. By nine
o’clock on the morning of the 15th
people began to gather and by the
time the noon hour arrived the re-
union ground was one solid working
mass of people; the first day was giv-
en to the W. O. W. and the I. O. O.
F.. At ten o’clock the crowd was call-
ed together' by the Farmer band which
played one of those old Southern airs
that makes- one feel like living again.
The welcome address was delivered by
•
John Mullens and responded to by
Taylor Mullens and by the compliment
the writer heard passed on the boys
we must admit that they asquilted
themselves with credit. ’
The welcome address was made by
John Mullens of Antelope and was'as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen;—I appear he
fc^p-£ou this morning for the purpose
of bidding you a welcome to our town
In bidding you this welcome I assure
you that we bid it to you in the most

“Ard let your hands fall easily by
your side, like this,” and his father
struck an attitude.
“Of course,” said Johnny.
“Are you sure you know your piece?
asked his sister.
“Yey,” said Johnny, and he recited
the first two lines:
I wish I had a little dog,
To pat him on the head.
“That’s rigxit, he’ll do splendidly,
remarked his mother. “You’ll go on
in a minute now, and we'must get in-
to our seats. Don’t you be scared a
bit, Jphnny.”
“Whoth tbchared?’’ asked Johnny,
who began to feel a sinking of the
knees, while his heart began to rise
until it was in his mouth, and then
somebody was pushing him forward,
and he saw a lot of fa.es, not one
of which ne had ever seeji before, and
it was lighter than any electric search
light he had ever seen. “Speak up
row,” said the manager. “Make your
bow and say your piece.”
Johnnny made his bow and the au
diehce applauded, hut he had diffi-
culty in finding his tongue. His hands
hung down as his father had suggest-
ed,-making him look like a little
wdoden man, and when he forgot and
stuffed them into his pockets the au-
dience applauded, again. The mana-
ger vtook that opportunity for a stage
whisper:
ak up, now,” and he began the
said in a
1 wish i had a little pat,
To dog him on the head.
There were roars of laughter on the
part cf the audience, and frantic dem-
onstrations on the part of Johnny’s
family. Ho began again:
I wish I had a littlfc pat,
To bead him on thedog.
His hitler resi* in his seat; that
al history is a “halo of glqry.” Our in-
dustrial development is the wonder of
the age. Our possibilities, can not be
calculated. Take all the navigable
waters of the entire continent of Eu-
rope and place them hpon the navi-
gable waters of the Mississippi Valley
alone and take them up and" place
them down again and we have some
hundreds of miles of navigable waiter
yet uncovered. Take all the peoples of
the world and place them in the Unit-
ed States and it will then not he as
densely populated as some parts of.
the world are today. Take all the peo-
ple of the United States and place
them in Texas and it will not be as
densely populated as some of our
Eastern districts are today. Who could
not love a country like this!
For full development and enjoyment
of these we must have peace and uni-
ty. Through the arts of peace homes
are built, resources are developed the
comforts of life are supplied, and
greatest happiness are attained.
These—the remnant, of that once
magnificent body of our Southland’s
bravest sons- w?ho marched under the
banner- of Johnson, Jackson, Lee, and
Davis tell us of the destruction and
horrors of war. Not one of them
would re-enact that terrible scene. The
native Southerner fought.for a prin-
ciple which he held dearer than life.
The native Northerner fought for the
perpetuity of the Union in which he
saw the only means of perpetuating
personal liberty, and forever destroy-
ing the idea of hereditary govern-
ment. In this fierce struggle you im-
mortalized the chivalry, the bravery,
and the military genius and devotion
of our Southland. But let’s turn and
drink into our hearts and souls
thoughts of peace and unity. When
thoughts of peace come to our minds
let’s sing with the poet:
O Peace! thou source and squI of so-
cial life;
Beneatji whose calm inspiring in-
fluence,
Science his views enlarge, Art re-!
fines,
And swelling commerce opens ail
her ports,
Blessed toe the man divine, who give
us thee! ' /

—and, hoys, accept a welcome in' be-

lope.
This address was responded to toy
Taylor Mullins of Jacksboro who
spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen, and Friends
of Antelope:—While I feel keenly my
inability to express the gratitude now
swelling in the hearts of these old
veterans of our lost cause and the
many sympathizers gathered here too
commemorate their heroic /patriotism
in the past and reassure them of per-
petual devotion from the New South;
yet I appreciate the distinguished hon-
or conferred upon me and derive much
pleasure f^am its responsibilities.
If I should do like the little boy I
read about the other day, I hope you
will look over my mistakes, A seven-
year old orator made his debut in
front of a large audience at a West
Side club in Detroit. His deluded
buA loving family who had egged him
on to this sacrifice were mostly with
him in the dressing room; they want-
ed to be sure that his bangs did not
fall over1 his eyes and obstruct the
view of his mother, father, aunts, un-
cles, and cousins in reserved seats di-
rectly in front.
“Now, Johnny,” said his mother,
“be sure you make a nice bow.”
“You bet I will,” said Johnny, with
In behalf of these ex-Confederate
soldiers and their friends gathered
here, let me say that we accept your
hearty welcome; we accept your kind
hospitality and hope to merit all the
good things you may have in store for
us.
I know the kindness of Antelope peo-
ple. Her hospitality knows no bounds.
Her devotions to our Southland and
its t -aditions are unsurpassed.
My task is one of both responsibil-
ity and delight. Responsible, because
I stand here as the spokesman of these
gray-haired veterans, whose furrow-
ed cheeks and shortened steps tell us
they will soon answer the “Last RoH
Call” and “pass over the river and
rest under the shade of the trees.”
Delightful, because in every heart
present I feel there is a responsive
Chord of kindest sympathy for every
one who may contribute even a mite
for the pleasure of good effect of this
gathering.
The principles underlying patriot-
ism and peace should toe taught every-
where. This is a most fitting time
to emphasize them. Patriotism is love
for one’s country. Have we a coun-
try which we can love? Let’s see.
On Bunker Hill our forefathers un-
furled the banner of liberty and chris-
tened it with their own heart’s blood.
In the Declaration of Independence
they set forth the doctrine that: “All
men are created equal and endowed
by their Creator witlv certain unalien-
able rigths, and that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuits of hap-
piness,” and at Yorktown established
for themselves and posterity an inde-
pendent position among the nations of
the earth. Through the fidelity of
our people and wisdom of our lead-
ers we have become the dread of
kings and potentates and step by step
have girded the world with an intel-
ligent spirit of freedom. Our politic-
And again,
Brave minds howe’er at war, are
seerqt friends,
Their *gener6us discord with: the
battle ends;
In peace they wonder whence dissen-
sion rose,
And ask hpw souls so like obuld e’er
be foes.
And when thoughts of unity coibe
to our minds let this sentiment per-
meate our hearts:
Ou 4 fathers’ God! from out whose
hand,
The centuries fall like grains of
sand,
We meet today united, free,
And loyal to our land-and Thee,
To thank Thee for the era done,
And trust Thee for the opening one.
One flag, one hand, one heart, one
land,
One nation evermore!
But let us_ always honor and rev-
erence the memory and bravery of the
Confederate soldier. And in conclu-
sion let me again say, that we accept
your hearty welcome and extend to
you the gratitude of our hearts for
your efforts in our behalf.
After the rendering of the morning
program dinner was announced, of
which there wras a plenty for onfe and
all. The committee had arranged- for
free beef and bread which was supple-
mented by all kinds of eatables by the
people of Antelope.
After dinner had been served and
we had all fared sumptuously, Hon. W
E. Fitzgerald was 'introduced to the
audience and delivered an address on
Woodcraft which made us all feel like
we v anted to belong to an order that
would project our wives and children
a fter we were no more.
After Mr. Fitzgerald had concluded
Hon. J. P. Simpson was introduced
to the people and addressed them on
the submission question. With pro-
hibition in the hands of such men as
Mr. ISimpson iwe can safely predict
a triumph for the cause.
After Mr. Simpson had concluded,
Messrs. Graves and Horton had reviv-
ed sufficiently from dinner to announce
to the people in behalf of the office
they aspire to. ^
After this it was announced that the
hall game between Archer City and
Antelope would begin. The crowd
then left the arbor for the ball ground
and after a hard .played game, Archer

publics of Guatemala and Salvador wtoc -

unit in declaring that Dr. Hermann
Prowe told the truth regarding Presi-
dent Cabrera’s contribution >to the*.-.
Republican campaign fund of 1904.
Over a dozen of them have been in-
terviewed and most of them expressed
surprise when it was said that Dr .
Prowe’s* statement wTas doubted. They -
declare that the payment of the money
to the American minister .was snore:,

matter or not, Estrada Cabrera does-
not forget, as '“the joke is on him “
as one of them expressed it, for tbar-
promised support from the UndtacL
Stetes did not' come. This, they claim,
was poignantly demonstrated to Ca-
brera within the past fortnight by the-
presence of the United Estates cruiser-

etta at the Atlantic port of

source, to the effect that Cabrera, af~
after promising to support President
Figureoa, started the revolution in?
Honduras for the purpose of drawing:
President Zelaya in the conflict ans£
then overthrowing both him and Ca-
brera. Cabrera was to name the var
rious officers and thus become con-
troller' of Central America in fact. Af
an argument to win over President Fi—
guerpa it is claimed that Cabrera,
pointed out that he had the United*
States assured as his friend. He re-
ferred to the stand taken by the for-
mer United States ministers to Gua=^
temala, naming Ministers Hunter an<£
Lee. He concluded, it is alleged, by-
saying that present Minister Heimke
was his friend. According to the em-
igradoes this argument completely wots
over Figueroa. When Figueroa ask-
ed what part of the republic of Mexi-
co would play in the whole matter, tfc.
is declared that Cabrera answered that,
an agreement between that country-
and the United States existed toy the
terms of which Mexico agreed to fol-
low in the lead of the United States
in matters pertaining to Central Amer-
ica in general and Guatemala in par-
ticular. The only discrepancies in tlie-
stories told by emigradoes was re-
garding the amount of that alleged-
contribution to the Roosevelt cam-
paign fund. Some of them maintain-
ed that the donation was $50,000 in-
stead of $10,000, as reported toy Dr
Prowe.
