Fine Dress Ginghams
Our Mr. Maloney bought in New York a special lot of fine Ever
rett Classics Dress Ginghams at nearly one-third less than regular
price. As he buys for nine big stores he could take the large quantity
necessary to get this great reduction. The Manufacturer was over
loaded and was anxious to close them out, so made a price that looked
good to us, and now we are going to sell these fine Dress Ginghams,
all this year's styleat less than we could have bought them for
three months ago, in spite of the fact that the market is going up on
fine cotton goods.
If fifty women should come in at the same time, we could give
each one a different style and still have some left, so you see there
wont be any trouble in finding what you wantand the pricejust
think of it last spring you paid 12 1-2 cents for the very same qual
ityduring this sale we will sell you, including a fine lot of 10 cent
all3 you want at - - - - 83C per yard.

THE CITY PHARMACY,
Improvement on Feed Grinding Machinery is
Invented by Randall County Citizen.
Advice has been received in
this city this week that the De
partment of Patents at Washing
ton had granted to Robert J.
Steen of this city a patent upon
an attachment as a feeder for a
feed grinding machine.
Hitherto the machines which
have been in use for the grinding
of milo and Kaffir corn have not
been able to do the large amount
of work that it was thought that
they ought to be able to do on
account of the fact that thes eval
uable feed stuffs grow in loose
heads and therefore do not feed
fast into the machines. Mr,
Steen has had a large experience
in grinding feedstuffs and there
fore was cognizant of the fact
that something ought to be done
1 in order to secure greater results
and he therefore started out to
make some sort of improvement
which resulted in his patent.
Without going into the general
and specific description of the
patent the attachment is one that
automatically forces the heads of
the feed down into the hopper so
that the grinders take hold of
them more rapidly. It is auto
raatic in its work and when the
heads are placed in the machine
they are pushed down until they
are bound to grind.
It is said that one of the mem
bers of a large concern which
makes these grinding machines
has offered Mr. Steen a large
royalty upon these attachments
as soon as his patent was issued,
provided that his company could
secure tho exclusive use of the
patent, therefore proving that
they think the invention a very
valuable one.
Former Pastor Will Preach.
It is announced that Rev. J. D.
White, until recently the pastor
of the Christian church of this
city, will fill the pulpit at the
Christian church at both hours
next Sunday. Rev. White has
been absent from this city sev
eral weeks having been, it is said
engaged in ministerial work in
Central Texas. His friends will
be glad to again have the chance
to hear him in sermons here.
For the subject of the discourse
at the morning hour Rev. White
has selected "The Twentieth
Century Preacher" while at
night his subject is to be "The
Three Great Attributes of Man."
Assessor Did Not Apply.
In our last week's issue we
reported that the minutes of the
commissioners' court had acted
upon the petition of the sheriff
and tax assessor for in increase
in their respective salaries and
that the court had refused the
petition. County Tax Assessor
Joe Foster calls the attention of
the Newas man to flie matter and
says that he did not apply for
any increase in his salary and
that he could not have done so
for the reason that his fees for
the work are fixed by statute.
We make this correction at his
request but desire to state that
the record, at that time, showed
the entry and we presume that it
was a clerical error.
Foster-Wallace.
Friends of the young people
were greatly surprised on Wed
nesday morning of this week
when it was announced that
Fred Foster and Miss Lola Wal
lace had been married the even
ing before. The wedding oc
cured at the home of the groom's
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Jim Foster on East Houston
Street, County Judge A. N.
Henson speaking the words
which joined these young people
in wedlock. The groom is the
son of Alderman and Mrs. Jim
Foster and has practically been
raised in this county and is there
fore well known and his genial
good nature has made for him
self many friends. The bride is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Wallace and is one of the
most popular young ladies among
those with whom she has associa
ted. The News joins the friends
of these two young people in
wishing them all the joys and
few of the sorrows of a long and
happy wedded life.
Ladies' Book Club.
The Ladies' Hook Club of this
city held their regular session
with Mrs. Albert S. Rollins on
West Evelyn street last Wednes
day afternoon. No regular pro
gram for the afternoon had been
arranged for the reason that the
year-book set this day for their
regular annual business meeting
and during the course of trans
actions of the day the officers of
the club for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: Mrs.
Daniel M. Stewart, President;
Mrs. Jasper N. Haney, Vice
President; Mrs. W. O Bennett,
Secretary and Treasurer, and
Mrs. Albert S. Rollins.Librarian.
Other business matters of more
or less importance to the club
were discussed and disposed of
during the afternoon.
Amarillo to Get Sky Scraper.
In the Monday issue of the
Daily Panhandle of Amarillo it is
announced that a modern office
building of seven stories is to be
erected in that city during the
coming summer. J. A. Way
land, a moneyed man of Girard,
Kansas, is to erect the building
and it is to have all the latest
equipment including elevators,
heat and such items and is to be
strictly tire-proof throughout.
This doesn't look like Texas is
eaten up by prairie dogs as Col
onel William Curtis reports in
the Chicago Record-Herald. Mr.
Wayland is a millionaire with fine
discrimination as to investments
and he evidently has much faith
in the future of the Panhandle.
New Church for Rev. Burnett.
Victoria Hotel Changes Hands.

Phone 41 when you have an
, item of local news.
Friends of Rev. J. T. Rurnett,
until recently a citizen of Canyon
City, will be glad to note that the
membership of the Second Bap
tist church of Amarillo of which
church Rev. Burnett is now the
pastor, has decided to erect a
new church building at an early
date. Reports to this city show
that quite a large amount has
been raised for the purpose. The
First Baptist church is materi
ally assisting this new church in
its efforts to get a modern build
ing and it is thought that a suffi
cient amount for the purpose will
be raised within a short time
after which building operations
are to begin.

The Court House Clock.
So far the Commissioners
court of this county have taken
no action relative to the placing
o'f a clock in the dome of our new
court house on account of the
fact that they have not as yet
received any definite idea of the
cost of the timepiece. From the
best that the reporter could
gather it is thought that the
court is favorable to the project
provided the cost to the county
would not be too great.
Texas-has a right to laugh and
laugh loudly at the antics of some
of the northern states just at this
time. We have been having such
unprecedented success in the
development of our country that
these northern states have be
come frightened at their condi
tion and are beginning to pre
pare to do battle to combat the
great tide of immigration which
is coining this way.
In a recent edition of one of
the Des Moines, Iowa, papers
the following article apreired
under big head letters:
That the Dollar club organized
in Des Moines hist week to con
duct a campaign preventing
young men from investing in
Texas Panhandle lands will be
come a state organization was
decided at a meeting held at the
Wellington hotel at noon yester
day. The name of the club will
be changed to the Greater Iowa
club and the movement will be
spread to other cities. Articles
of incorporation for $10,000 are
being drawn. Forty directors
will have charge of the work of
this parent body and as rapidly
as possible the membership will
beextended throughout the state.
The club wishes to educate young
men that just as good invest
ments are offered in Iowa as in
any part of the United States and
that dealing in Texas land is a
shaky poposition.
Of course such a procedure
could have but one effect and
that is to increase the interests
of their very own "young men"
in the Panhandle and they will
therefore investigate more fully
than ever in the past the re
sources of this great section.
That's all we want. If they will
investigate this country and its
products there will be many
more of them coining here to
live.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Most Popular
Because it is the Best.
"I have sold Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for the past
eight years and find it to be one
of the best selling medicines on
the market. For babies and
young children there is nothing
better in the line of cough
syrups," says Paul Allen, Plain
Dealing, La. This remedy not
only cures the coughs, colds and
croup so common among young
children, but is pleasant and safe
for them to take. It contains no
opium or other narcotic, and may
be given to a baby as confidently
as to an adult. For sale by the
City Pharmacy.

If it doesn't cure, you get your

it advisable to adopt a name with

hearing of the change; "this is
the first Jew who has thrown
away his gold."
