TROUBLE AND ITS CAUSE.
As a rule we can detect the imme
diate cause of our troubles; but the
most of us are slow to discover the
remote and the real cause. For ex-
ample typhoid fever invades a home
and prostrates two or three of its
members; and we all know that the
germ is the immediate cause, but
how came that germ there? where
did it4 hail from? and through what
channel did it come? When these
questions are properly considered,
then we begin to approach the real
cause, though it may be very re-
mote.
The wind is one of nature's great
purifying agents; and the good gen-
tle cow is one of the very best do-
mestic animals owned by the human
race; and yet as channels for the
canveying of deadly diseases .they
are without an equal.
Some one has said that the gentle,
harmless cow has destroyed more
people than all of the mad-dogs,
rattle-snakes, lions and tigers com-
bined. Then is the wind and the
cow the cause of our sickness, our
drug store and doctors' bills, our
funeral processions and so on? By
no means. We must go further back
in our inquiry—go back to our filth,
if we would understand the real
cause of so much unnecessary trouble
the human race is enduring.
And just now there is a mighty
crusade going on all over our coun-
try against filth—just common every
day filth, not any thing new im-
ported to our «host*. Such filth as
is seen too often right here in our
little town.
"Cleanliness is next to godliness,"
said Wesley ; and it is high time we
were all getting that near to heaven,
if we never expect to enter the gol-
den gates.
The "cleaning-up crusade" is
coming to every city, town, farm
ranch and community in Texas, says
the Dallas News. People are be-
ginning to wake up verywhere to bet-
ter sanitary conditions, and this
question is being agitated strongly
throughout the whole country. In
the city of New Orleans, which has
suffered so much from the yellow
fever pest, the germ of this disease
has been almost stamped out by
cleaning up the city and adhering
strictly to sanitary methods.

Occasionally one will hear the re
mark "I wish I was out of this town"
and then one feels like saying,
wish you were, for a man who stands
on the streets chewing and spitting
telling obscene stories, cursing the
town, finding fault with his grand
mother because she was a woman,
claiming that the merchants are a lot
of thieves, that the lawyers and real
estate agents would skin a man to a
finish and a whole lot more, is a
nuisance and abomination. Any
town pestered with one or more such
worthies would be justified in exer-
cising cowhide authority on the
bosom of their overalls. No one is
obliged to live where he is not suited.
If one hasn't an encouraging word
for the business enterprises and in
stitutions of his town, he should shut
up and "go 'way back and sit
down." If things don't suit you,
move on to where they will. A
growler and a sorehead in a town is
an enterprise killer every time. It
would pay a town to donate $5.00
and tell him to migrate.—Leon Jour-
nal.
For Sale—I have completed a
map of Greater Hereford, showing

additions to the town. This is the

Not a Fake Road.
The following from the Line coun-
ty News shows what the people in
the counties south think of the Pan-
handle Short Line proposition:
Yes the Panhandle Short Line is
an essentialy different proposition
from the fake railroads that have
proposed crossing the plains. This
is easily discernable by the manner
of procedure. The fake road begins
operations generally by getting a
charter, which while it is essential,
does not cost much and is no guar-
antee that the road will ever be
built. On the other hand the Pan-
hadle began work by putting a corps
of surveyors in the field, which as
every one knows takes considerable
money. The next move of the fake
road is to send a representative over
the proposed route, who holds a
jumped up mass meeting at the prin-
cipal points, making considerable
fuss and noise, but costing the pro-
moters little or no money, and as a
general thing this is the last heard
them.
The Panhandle Short Line after
spending good money making the
preliminary surveys, decide on the
most practicable route, keep right on
spending money, going back and
fourth, securing right of way, bonus
and such things. After doing all of
these things, gaining the confidence
of the people all along the line,
making arrangements for the actual
construction work to begin, even to
putting the final survey party in the
field. Then, and then only do they
file the charter, which they did at
Austin, March 26, 1907.

its care and respectfully solicits your account
Resolutions of Respect.
It has pleased the great Architect
of the universe to remove from labor
on earth to refreshments in another
Kingdom and state of existence our
beloved brother, B. Barnard. While
we, who have been his associates
and companions of the ancient order
of the A. F. and A. M. miss his
friendly advice and his Masonic
Council, yet we feel that he is with
The Grand Master, learning the
deeper and more Spiritual Truths
that belong to our sacred rights and
obligations, and know he has passed
to a more perfect degree, and his
lectures that he may receive by the
intuitional lights revealed to him by
the Divine Architect will qualify him
to be to us a leader and friend when
we shall seek the more perfect lights
beyond in companionship with him-
self and others who have passed
from labor to refreshments.
We in compliance with our obli-
gations, having passed the same
route he traveled, in the lodge on
earth and believing fully that he
himself, were he here in our room
and stead, would tender to our be-
reaved ones the tender sympathy
and use every effort in his power to
console them because of their be-
reavement, so we also tender to his
beloved ones who have been left be-
hind the sympaty of his brethren.
Done by order of the Fraternity
and in hearty compliance we here-
with offer these suggestions for pub-
lication in the Brand.
Therefore be it resolved that this
be spread on the minutes of the local
A. F. and A. M. Lodge and a copy
be sent to the bereaved members of
the family.

New Business Block.
T. J. Graves will begin in the near
future the erection of a 2-story brick
or stone business block on his lots
just across the street west of the
T. M. Palmer Lumber Company's
office. The buildiing will be 50 feet
deep with a 100 foot front facing
north. The first floor will probably
be used by some business firm and
the second will be cut up into offices
to suit the renter. That will be a
good location for a business block
being near the central portion of the
city. Mr. Graves is an old-timer in
Hereford and has been identified with
her business interests in a great
many ways. He has great faith
in the future development of this
city and the Panhandle—thus his
willingness to build this large sub-
stantial business block. It will be a
great credit to Hereford and espec-
ially that portion where it is to be
built.
For Quick Sale on Good Terms.
One good brick business house and
some choice land.
