A NOTH Kit sad spectacle:
Hundreds of pc*>i>lu who
thought themselves wealthy
last week found their all
wiped away in a few days
with the slump in the stock
market. Many tragedies will
follow as a result of this that
the general public will never
hear about. Many who start-
ed conservatively lost their
heads with the apparent rise
In values of the past months
and plunged in head first
only to have their entire
life’s savings swept away in
the crash that was Ixmud to
come and did come in all its
fury aud it hit hurd among
thousands who could least uf-
ford it, TTie old advice, “If
you haven’t any money that
you can afford to lose, don’t
dAbble in the stock market”
is still good sound sense.
TF FORTUNE had favored
*the Democratic party last
tali and elected its candidate
to the presidency of the
United States this crash in
Wall Street that has wrecked
the fortunes of thousands,
would have been luld at the
door of the Democratic par-
ty, the report would have
been broadcast that it show-
ed a lack of faith and confi-
dence in Hie party in power.
As it is it was merely “A
stabalixing of a wild and
speculating marketing,” and
no one seems to be able to
understand why this inactiv-
ity all over the land and this
tumbling of markets and
wrecking of values.
In spite of all this the sit-
uation in Yoakum is on the
up grade, values are increas-
ing, business activities are
Improving and the outlook
tor the future is daily get-
brighter. If any of
lambs that have been
up in New York have
hlng left they had bet-
come to Texas, invest in

Mr Fall that the end of his

wind up in disgrace, never-

any more pity, or even as
much, ns a poor, ignorant
person for he at least could
not plead ignorance.
