BANKS CONDITION
Statistics Compiled By Denver
Road of Banks Show Healthy
Conditions.
Statistics compiled by the "Den
ver Road" show that on the date
of the last call for the year by the
Comptroller of the Currency, No
vember 9th, 1905, twenty-five
national and six private banks, out
of a total of thirty-three on the
Denver Road and Wichita Valley,
not including Ft. Worth, show in
dividual deposits and certificates
of deposit to be $5,015,391.42.
Of this $268,012.68 represents
certificates of deposits, or money
loaned by depositors to the local
banks.! One town alone shows
over $900,000.00 individual de
posits, and another $600,000.00.
Of the certificates of deposits one
town has $141, 195.00 and another
$55,380.00, showing that the
farmers in those localities have
more money than is required for
the conduct of their current busi
ness. One bank has over a half
million dollars on deposit, three
over three hundred thousand each
and six over two hundred thous
and dollars each. These figures
do not include deposits of other
banks, nor of the government de
posits, as it is the intention to show
Only the money belonging to the
people.
The foregoing figures show a
healthy and prosperous condition
of that part of the state which has
received so much attention during
the past two or three years.
It is not difficult to see why lands
have doubled and trebled during
the past two years. Any country
In which the individual deposits
exceed ten thousand dollars per
mile of railway must possess more
than ordinary merit.
It should not be overlooked that
the foregoing figures represent a
period when the products of the
Panhandle country has just begun
to move. If figures were obtained
for the present time it is quite safe
to estimate an addition of two to
three million dollars to the figures
shown above would not be far
wrong.

had a bitter battle, with chronic
stomach and liver trouble, but at
last I won, and cured my diseases,

all, and don't intend in the future
to be without them in the house.
They are certainly a wonderful

N CHOOSING YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFTS try
and do so with some regard to the needs of
those for whom they are intended.
The shops are full of pretty trifles, and it is
possible to please everybody from grand
mimma down to the littlest baby.
Do not be discouraged if the amount you can afford to ex
pend is of the smallest.
Dispatch each little gift with a loving sentiment, and it is
sure to be welcomed and appreciated.
Those who love you will love your gift, no matter how small
it may be.
So don't feel unhappy because the gifts seem cheap to you.
It would be vry nice to have a full pocket as well as a full
heart; but if you can't have both be satisfied with the latter, for
it is better of the two.
Some of you at this glad Christmas tide are far from home.
Perhaps you can't afford to go home, and perhaps you can't
even afford to send home any gifts. '
But there is one thing you can all afford to do, and that is
to write a Christmas letter.
It isn't always easy to keep up the home correspondence.
At the end of a long day's work one is too tired to do any
thing but tumble into bed
And on Sunday well, the day is over before it seems
half begun.
So between one thing and another we get into shockingly
careless habits regarding letter-writing.
But the people at home never forget the absent ones, and
every day brings with it the hope of a letter from the son or
daughter.
There is never a day of the year that your mother does not
breath a blessing for your welfare.
She will value a loving, cheerful letter from you just as
highly as though it were a present.
Don't forget to make the letter as loving as possible.
Let her see that you think of her and loye her and ap
preciate all that she has done for you.
Tell her what you are aoing, how you are getting on. and
how vou would love to be with her.
Write so that she will receive the letter Christmas Day.
You know the beautiful thing about Christmas is not the
actual gift, but the kind feeling that prompts the desire to give.
That same spirit can inspire vou to write a beautiful letter.
Don't feel that the gift of a Christmas letter is not worth
while.
It is very rruch worth while.
After you have written to your family you may think of some
lonely man or woman to whom a Christmas letter would be a
great joy.
Just the knowledge that some one thought of them at this
happy season of the year would cheer them.
Write all the Chnstrrus letters you can afford to.
Every one of them will give a thrill of happiness to some one
cN. ...1
(lifts for the Poor.
Under the auspices of the Pas
tor's Association of this city gifts
of both money and other useful ar
ticles will be received at the various
churches upon the evening of their
Christmas exercises and entertain
ments. The entertainments at many
of the churches will be on Monday
evening, though the Presbyterian,
and probably one or two others,
will hold their exercises Saturday
evening.

The Going of Marshall.
Mr. W. S. Marshall and wife left
Wednesday for Delton, Wisconsin,
where they go to make their home
in the future. They will reside at
the old homestead where Mr. Mar
shall was raised. Wo have no hes
tancy in saying that the Panhandle
country suffers a great loss in the
departure of this energetic, vigor
ous and progressive citizen. He
was a pioneer of those who prophe
sied a great future for the Panhan
dle and his articles extolling the
richness and wonderful possibilities
of this section have been raed from
one end of the country to the oth
er and have been a great factor in
bringing so many people to this
beautiful section. While regret
ting his departure we are glad to
know that 'he still retains landed
interests in this country, retaining
his ranch lands of 5,280 acres,
which will necessitate an occasion
al visit to Channing, and it is more
than probable that when he does
come he will be accompanied by
people who will cast their lot with
us. Yet, for all this, we exceed
ingly regret to see him go, and his
many Panhandle friends will join
us in wishing him and his good wife
bon voyage, with a hope that the
glamour and fascination of the
plains will yet draw him back to us
again. Channing Courier.

The A. A. A. Man is making some
very important improvements, put

000 acres, with an annual output
of half million hogs, which arc
marketed at the great livestock
centers of the country. His for
tune is placed at $2,750,000 and
with a desire to do away with any
litigation that might follow his
death in the distribution of his
property he had his will executed
so that he might live to see all of
his relatives fairly dealt with.
Mr. Sinclair, of thisc:ty,to whom
fortune has favored is a young man
of twenty-five years, and with his
wife has made his home at 200,
