A PROSPEROUS
NEW YEAR
*917
NEW YEAR GREETING
The Eagle extends hearty good
"Wishes to its friends and patrons for
39l7. May the incoming year be one
of peace and plenty for them all end
may their troubles and disappo int-
one nils disappear as 'the must before
the rising sun. May no evil, come
to any of them; but may gladnesis
and good will prevail throughout the
land/ and he extended to every one
of those who have made the Eagle’s
success possible by patronage or
kindly deeds.
It will be our endeavor thru the
good year 1917 to make the paper
worthy of the "support of the people
and its management will strive to
keep clear of any entanglement that
woiild-prevent the very best service
£cr the people and, the county.
In the long years of the Eagle’s
'existence it has ever looked to the
interest; of the county and people,
regardless of personal gain or private
benefit. During this time it has been
necessary at times for the paper to
run counter to some of its very best
friends and its own financial interest,
but these things, have never deter.
ed the management, in a course that
was mapped out and adopted in the
early days of the paper’s existence
and they will not be allowed to en-
ter} into the 'consideration of future
policies. ’
' The Eagle loves its friends and
those who have stood with it in
carktr day? than these have their
names inscribed on the tablet of our
memory and will ever be appreciat-
ed fo.r their goodness and their loy-
alty t.o ns.
.The Eagle has no enemies. The
appi\e'CGc.ti’cn we feel because of the
great kindness shown us 'all along
life’s way causes a blindness to any-
thing and 'everything that would
prevent the heartiest good will to-
ward everybody everywhere.
A happy and prosperous 1917.

ceived daily. But—
REMEMBER
there’s an art in cooking oysters as
well as in every other kind of cook-
dug. It is an art we make a bus’-

in a class by ourselves. Come in

We especially invite the ladles to
call at our place, either fir cold
drinks, lunches or oysters. We are
especially well prepared to serve
them.
We hope this may be a Christmas of Happy Hearts

Happiness and Prosperity for the people, and that YOU
may be one of the most favored to enjoy its Blessings.
We wish th&t this season may find you richer by
Three Hundred and Sixty-Five successful and useful

Pleasure in the fact that we have been permitted to
co-operate with so many families who have so handled
their Savings during the last year that they are able to
provide for their Homes the comforts and pleasures
due them at the Christmas Season.
We take this occasion to express our Gratitude to
all those who have helped, by their Business or their
Friendship, to make this year a good one for us.
We extend to you Best Wishes for a “Merry Christ-
mas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.”

DEMAND NEW
A bill will be put before the
legislature 'asking that all legal n.0-
ticee now required to be posted i'n
three prominent places be required
to be pubLLihed in the local news-
papers instead. At first this does
mot seem :as important asi it is, but
after sober reflection it will he seen
to be more economical for those
having the posf ng done and w'll
really keep the public informed. Far
instance, it occurred in Comanche
county that, a eerta'n piece of 1 nd
was to be sold by a decree end the
trustee did not want! much publicity
so his partner in the deal could buy
in *tlhe land without paying what it
was worth. Accordingly he had 3
notices posted where only a few dis-
interested ones would see /them and
pulled off the sale according to his
wishes, really doing a skin game..
This could not have been done if
that notice of sale had been publish-
ed. This case is1 but one cf a thous-
and in Texas, tha'- might be cited
to. This shov/is an e-11 the pres-
ent law permits that would be dene
away witlh should the attempted law
pass. Now ' let ug see the cast.
The usual charge for such publica-
tions is $5.00 and tit often costs more
tc make the proper posting by the
time fees, etc., are paid. The old
law was sufficient in the early days
when newspapers were not available
and wiben twenty families and ore
town constituted a county, and wren
everybody visited the courthouse once
>a month at leant. Eut we l.ve un-
der different conditions today.— Co-
manche Chief.
