The pupils and teachers of our
school gave an interesting pro-'
gram in the auditorium of the
school building Friday night. The
pupils all performed their parts
well. Every one .seemed to en-
joy the occasion. Just after the
people gathered at the school
house some one discovered that a
house was on fire. Quite"a good
deal of excitement prevailed un-
til it was discovered to be an old
vacant house.
Mr. Clifton Ball of Amarillo is
visiting relative's and friends here.
Mr. Irving Duckworth visited
his parents here Saturday and
Sunday. Mr.

Rev. C. F. Bell, the Methodist

The people around here are try-
ing to decide whether to go plant-
ing a new crop or to go on trying
to pick the crop of cotton already
on the stalks.

was rendered the house was filled
to its utmost capacity.

in a ver cool norther and snow
Sunday night.
There was quite a number as-
sembled at the cemetery last

A Sluggish Liver Needs Care.
Some onee has said that people
with chronic liver complaint
should be shut up away from hu-
man'ty, for they are pessimists
and see through a “glass darkly.’
Why? Because mental states de-
pend upon physical states. Bilious
