Everybody knows what it means to see R. B. Spencer & Company at the head of an advertisement. It means
you get the best lumber, sash, doors, blinds, laths, shingles, etc. etc. at. the lowest possible price. We have
'(y'1 **" "1"' '•
yards ill about 40 towns in Texas and therefore buy in the largest quantities which gives us the advantage over
the little man—That advantage is yours—It means we save you money. We are glad to figure your bills be-it
large or small, and we can fillet to your satisfaction. Buy one bill from u$ and you are our customer afterwards.

t has been the
ejy people for many year's to be
^...nected with the outside world
by stonng iron band, and the
■|lmmnni, ,1 t iM, • —-.•• <••
>- fruition of that dream came to
* "nss Tuesday evening at about
i«-
Kf
6 30 o'clock when the big Hur
ley track layer crossed the cor-
Moration line. . r?
The evening was ideal, and al-
most the whole Of the population
of thts city were present to wit-
ness the important event.1 The
local band assisted by Ihe Floy-
dada band were present and as
the track-layer approached the
city limits thd Martial air, "Hail
to the Chief,'' floated out upon
*^rthe stillness of the evening aiir,
and hnndrpda nf plftaaed nitizena
and visitors, with ringing cheers
and clapping of hands and, wav
ing 'of hats and handkerchiefs
added zest to the occasion.
It is with great pleasure that
the Beacon announces the pass-
•r ing of the old regime, Lockney
will soon begin -to,-experience the
"cftanjte and put oil that' afeveldp-
ment and growth that is War-
ranted by all the natural advan-
tages that her position entitles
^ her to. Soon the rythmic music
of saw and hammer will be
heard, and the lumber house giv-
ing way to the brick and con-
tjr . many improvements will be un-
dertaken and pushed to comple-
tion.
But Beacon must not antici-
pate; it is best to note these
things as they become facts, and
facts that will come.
Among the visitors present to
assist Locktie/ people in celfbr^ inafceldi and elected, the Twenty- Tll6^ FT6HCh Diy -Wfty
ting the approach of the railroad
were. Judge P. Pi Henry* Rev.
J. E. Stephens, J. S. Cash, Glad
and Harry Snodgrass, Dave
Price, Dr. M. F. Huskey, and
many other Floydada people, to-
gether: with the Floydada Cornet
Band, and many people from the
countrtr whose interest in the
matter w#s manifested by their
attendance, some spending al-
most all of the afternoon lookiug
on as the work progressed. To
those who came to "joy with
us" the Beacon extends the glad
handrto especially assures Floy-?
dada that she has a jgood day
coming, and Lockney will attend
and enjoy with her the satisfac-
tion which is now with us a
matter of history. In the ihean
time let'a get busy;—Tho rail
road is not all we wont—it is hut
the beginning. Let's all get
busy and as a slogan for the fu-
ture, make the welkin rir^g with
"More Farms and Better Farm-
ers "—Lockney Beacon.

It is with genuine pleasure
that the Index notes that W. A.
Johnson, editor of the Hall Coun-
ty Herald has responded to the
almost unanimous call of the
■ v i
press of his district by consent-
ing to become a candidate for
natorfrom-theXwenty-
Ninth district. Twenty years,
association with Brother John-
son in the district, state and
national press associations has
given the writer a high opinion
of the Herald editor, s stock of
good old ahorse sense," and we
feel'sure that should' he be nom-

been three times President of
the North west Texfcs Press Asso-
ciation, is now President of the

ored member of thev National

Unoffending Citizen Cannot Recover

Jersey Court.
Woodbury, N. J.—Even if a fellow
takes an occasional drink, and never,
never sets a' "souse." -he cannot get
redrefcs It the "jag board" puts him on
•the1 list as one to be "nagged:**—That
was the ruling of Circuit Judce Lloyd
In the somewh&t celebrated suit of
James A. Johnson of Glassboro to re-
cover 9101000 damages to his personal
character resulting from ha:vlng hit
name placed on the list of the Frank-
lin township board of protectors, as
the law calls the ''jag board." Judge
Lloyd nonsuited Johnson on the
ground that the board had shown no
malice In listing him and that ended
the 'Case. {"--i
Johnuon, who la a vestryman In the
Episcopal church at Qlaisboro, testi-
fied that when he discovered last Jufy
that his name was on the list of the
"Jag board" h« entered protest, but
got no satisfaction. He therefore
brought suit against thev three mem-
bers of ihe board^ George Letts, W. B.
Nichols and William Marsh. He said
he seldom took a drink and could not
undemafrft-why hla name should be
posted In a bar as one who could not
be trusted to walk home perfectly
straight. .
Hotel Keeper Finger testified that
Johnson's name had been given him
with others, but that he kept the list
under the bar and only casually men-
tioned that of Johnson. It is said that
counsel for Johnson will appeal the de-
cision of Judge Lloyd.
