Which fact has led him to investi-
gate the prices and quality of the
Holiday goods at the L. & B. Drug
Store. He buys where he can get
presents for every one; wh^re he can
get a good article ckcsp. and says
there is satisfaction in trading at this
store because the quality of the goods
are such that he never wonders. ‘‘Is
it worth the money?'* This is why he
makes this store his headquarters

Every officer or civil man in
the Philippines who lias ex-
pressed an opinion on the mat-
ter, has condemned those Amer-
icans who encouraged the Ta-
gals to continue the tight. The
severest arraignment was made
by General Lawton in a letter
shortly before ids death, lie
stated in substance that if lie
were killed in a battle by a
Tagal bullet lie would die at
the hands of Americans as sure
ly as though one oi his men had
shot him. He meant that the
war would have been ended long
ago but for the encouragement
given the Filipinos by Ameri-
cans.--Times-Jourlial.
In wishing the many readers
of the Times-Record a happy
and prosperous New Year the
management wishes to thank Representative Baily of Tex
the citizens of Blackwell and *8' who l,as heretofore posed as
Kay county for their generous j democratic leader of the House
patronage for the past year, and anUalso *ts *'e‘K»>»ig beauty,
to assure them that our aim is; and l,as aimed lo emphasize and

ccrmtiv mg a wide sombrero hat and a
long Prince Albert coat, and
loftily refusing to wear a dress
suit oil any occasion, lias ap-
peared in Washington in a silk
hat. This new departure shows
an improvement in the shape
and quality of Mr. Bailey’s
head. The silk hat is, as Na-
poleon said about history, “a
thing agreed upon.’’ It has been
During the past week no less
than twenty-five homeseekers
from Illinois, Missouri and Indi-
ana alone have been looking
over Blackwell and vicinity
with a view of locating here.
AU have expressed themselves
as favorably impressed with
the country and several are now
negotiating for or have already fixed upon by society as the bat
for gentlemen of Mr. Bailey’s
social and political station, and
not to wear it is a violation of
that decent respect for the
opinions of matikiud, which was
one of the impelling motives for
the Declaration of Independ-
ence. If Mr. Bailey will also
conform to the dress suit on
dress occasions he will be quite
as pretty as lie was before, and
will possess quite as many qual-
ities of leadership as ever.—K.

. Dwight L. Moody, the noted
evangelist, died at his home in
Nortlifield, Mass, last Friday,
December 22nd. Mr. Moody
had been in his usual health un-
til late this fall, while holding
a revival meeting in Kansas
City, wlieu lie suffered a collapse
and was compelled to abandon
his meetings. He was taken
home in a special car, and rap-
idly improved for a while, and
was pronounced out of danger.
He grew worse again, and it
was reported that he was a vic-
tim of Brights disease, but that
rumor was denied, and the pub-
lic had hoped lie was improving,
when the word was given of his
death, of heart disease. Dwight
L Moody was one of the sturd-
iest of American characters, and
bis early career was anything
but one of ease. He preached
no particular doctrine, and in-
sisted, in no established creed
but preached in his earnest and
powerful way, Christ the re-
deemer. He probably aided in
more conversions than any
evangelist since St. Paul's time,
and had thundered forth his de-
nudations of sin and the hope
of .salvation in nearly every
civilized quarter of the globe.
During a great portion of the
time be was accompanied in his
work by Ira D. Sankey, the fam-
ous singer. The whole civilized
world will mourn with the fam-
ily the death of this great and
good man.
Did you know that while the
governor’s- report only shows
Kay county with a population
of 18,000 for the year ending
June 510, 1899, that conserative
estimates by people who are in
a position to know, insist that
January 1st 1900, will find us
with a population of 24,000 to
25,000. A most remarkable gain
for a short six months. Kay
county has not only gained in
population, but in every pro-
duct that adds to her weallti
and development. Kay county
is the leading wheat county of
the Territory and it is estimat-
ed that the crop of that county
reached 3,500,000 bushel this
year, though it was cut short
somewhat by excessive rain just
as the grain was heading.
There was a single wheat field
of 5,000 acres in the southern
part of the county which yield-
ed about 90,000 bushels this
year and the same man will sow
8,000 acres next fall.
The unusual cold weather
of the winter, the wet weather
of spring and tire mistake nl
late planting combine to make
the yield per acre small in some
localities—many farms running
but 8, 10 or 12 bushels per acre,
but there were just as many that
ran from 25 to 40 and occasional
yields well up towards 50 biisli
els per acre and the general
average for the Territory was
undoubtedly in excess of 20
bushels per acre.—Governor’s
Report.
