THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION,-
President Issues Annual Message From the
White House Sets Thursday,
November 26.
"Once again the season is at
hand when, according to the an
cient custom of our people, it be
comes the duty of the president
to appoint a day of prayer and
thanksgiving to God.
"Year by year this nation
grows in strength and worldly
power. During the century and
a quarter that has elapsed since
our entry into the circle of inde
lendent people we have grown
and prospered in material things
to a degree never before known
in any other country. The thir
teen colonies which struggled
along the seacoast of the Atlantic
and were hemmed in but a few
miles west of tide-water by In
dian hunted wilderness, have
been transformed into the might
iest republic the world has ever
known. Its domains stretch
across the continent from one to
the other of the two greatest
oceans, and it exercises dominion
alike in the arctic and tropic
realms. The growth in wealth
and population has surpassed
even the growth in territory.
Nowhere else in the world is the
average of individual comfort and
material well being as high as in
our fortunate land.
"For the very reason that in
material well being we have thus
abounded we owe to the Al
mighty to show equal progress
in moral and spiritual things.
With the nation, as well as indi
viduals who make up a nation,
material well being is an indis
pensible foundation. Hut the
foundation avails nothing by it
self. The life is wasted and
worse than wasted which is spent
in piling, heap on heap, those
things which minister to the
pleasure of the body and to the
power that rests only on wealth.
Upon material well being as a
foundation must be raised the
structure of the lofty life of the
spirit, if this nation is to prop
erly fulfill its great mission, and
to accomplish all that we so ar
dently hope and desire. The
things of the body are good; the
things of the intellect are better;
but the best of all are the tilings
of the soul, for in the nation and
as in the individual, in the long
run it is character that counts.
Let us therefore as a people set
our faces resolutely againts evil
and with broad charity, with
kindliness and good will toward
all men, but with unflinching de
termination to smite down wrong
strive with all the strength that
is given us for righteousness in
public and private life.
"Now therefore, 1, Theodore
K oo s eve It, president of the
United States, do set apart
Thursday, the J(th day of No
vember, next, as a general day of
thanksgiving and prayer, and on
that day I recommend that the
people cease from their daily
work, and in their houses or in
their churches, meet devoutly to
thank the Almighty for the many
and great blessings that they
have received in the past and to
pray that they may be given
strength so to order their lives
as to deserve a continuation of
these blessings in the future.
"In witness whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
"Done at the City of Washing
ton, this thirty-first day of Octo
ber, in the year of our Ird, one
thousand nine hundred and eight
and of the independence of the
United States, the one hundred
and thirty-third.
(Signed) Hy the President,
I "TlIKOPOKK IvOOSKVIXT.

I "Acting Secretary of State.''

Croup Cured and a Child's Life Saved.
"It affords me great pleasure
to add my testimony to that of
the thousands who have been
benefited bv Chamberlain's

Cough Remedy his life was saved
and today he is a. robust and
healthy boy," says Mrs. A. Coy,
Jr., of San Antonio, Texas. This
remedy lias been in use for many
years. Thousands of mothers
keep it at hand, and it has never
been known to fail. For sale by

Mrs. Curtsinger.
Mrs. Fannie Curtsinger, wife
of J. D. Curtsinger died in this
city Saturday November 7, l'.tiw,
and was buried the following
day in the the Hereford ceme
tery. She was the daughter of
Rev. A. J. Cocanougher, a min
ister of the Baptist denomina
tion and when home was for
many years at McKinney, Texas.
The family had been on the
Plains for six years, three years,
of which time their home was in
Hereford, Mr. Curtsinger en
gaging in the grocery business.
The mother leaves a bereaved
husband and seven sorrowing
children, ranging in age from
eleven to twenty-six, four boys
and three girls.
Mrs. Curtsinger had been con
lined to her bed for several
weeks and tho the end was not
unexpected to her many friends,
her death was a severe shock to
the father and children. The
funeral services were held at the
Baptist church, of which demon
ination she was a consistent
member. A large concourse of
friends followed the remains to
their resting place.
Mrs. Cora McReynoldsof Can
yon City, a cousin of Mrs. Curt
singer, was with her during her
last hours.
The Brand extends the deep
es condolence to the members of
the bereaved family in the loss
of the wife, mother and dearest,

"I conclude under the law, that
the Railroad Commission of
Texas, under its general juris
diction over the railroads of
of Texas, lias the power to re
quire railroads to establish de
pots at places where the interest
of the public at large demand
that depots should be establish
ed, and that the issuance of the
order involved in this case, the
Railroad Commissioners had ex
ercised a reasonable discretion
authorized under the laws and
Constitution of this State. .Judg
ment, therefore will bo rendered
for the defendant."
The above is Hie concluding
paragraph of the decision of the
court with reference to the suit
brought by the l'ecos Valley
Railroad against the Railroad
Commission of the stito. The
Commission has issued an order
requiring the railroad to estab
lish and maintain a depot and
station at Farwell, the county
seat of Farmer County, and the
railroad sought to enjoin the
order. The judgment of the
court upholds the Commission
and the railroad will thereby be
compelled to build a station.
Heretofore the people of that
town have been compelled to go
across the state line to Texieo in
order to get freight and to take
passage on trains. In addition
the railroad could charge higher
freight rates to Texieo as it was
j without the state. Jn fact the
i rates to Texieo is, on ordinary
! freight, twenty cents per hun
id red pounds to Texieo than it
I was to Bovina,-a town eighteen
or twenty miles this side.
