Notary Publie McLennan Caunty, Texaa,
lady and his friends here have
following his continued promo-
tion with sinceie appreciation.
The feeling prevails that in
him the Fort Worth division has
a friend and will doubtless re-
ceive more consideration in re-
gard to its development than it
would from some stranger to its
needs and possibilities. True, he
can do nothing beyond what the
permission of the receiver and
sound business principles justi-
fy, but Mart believes in Goforth
and B. W. Procter, too.
The latter is an old Mart man
as well, an ex-mayor of whom
all are proud, and delight in his
promotion no less than in that
of Mr. Goforth.
The Herald joins -in hearty
sentiment of the citizenship of congratulations to these f
former citizens, who make
good team, and for whom
predict continued success
their chosen field of work.
These are testing times for
the railroads of the country and
the management really needs
the sympathetic co-operation of
both the public and railway em-
ployes to bring the largest suc-
cess.
