Wonderful changes have taken place.
Liberal has grown from a little hamlet
to an important city of the second
class, Gray haa apruog into existence
and hsa grown from a lone postoffice
|o a thriving inland town, and Beaver

|o a land of productive farms Inhab-
ited by a happy, prosperous people.
But thtss changes are small to what

Expression of Appreciation.
In severing my connection with the
First State Banlr of Gray I wish to
extend an expression of thanks to every
citizen who baa helped make this bank
one of the strongest institutions in the
panhandle. It has grown far beyond
my expectations and this ia due to the
loyal support It has received from its
good friends, With justice tc the pub-
lic and my successors I wish to say
they are straight clean men, practical
bankers, who known the needs of the
western people and are financially able
to take care of them. Mr. Jones, the
incoming cashier will be glad to meet
you and get acquainted.
Very Truely,
W. H. Sharer.
Finally Succumbs to Burns.
From the Beaver Democrat.
Arthur Btll, aged twenty-five years,
nine months and three days died Satur-
day, January 8th as a result of burns
sustained nearly a month ago by a gas-
olene explosion in a wagon In which
Mr. Bell and bis family were coming
from Colorado to. LaKemp, the acci-
deno taxing place about a mile of their
destination. Hia wife died almost in-
stantly as a result of the burns, their
youngest child a few hours later but
Arthur lingered until last Thursday
when pneumonia set in and he passed
away about 4 o'clock Saturday morn-
ing. Their other child about 4 years
old who was also a victim of the ex-
plosion was badly burned but will re-
cover. The happy family whose hopes
and ambitions for the future were
bright and promising a month age haa
been darkened by the shadow of death
and only one child survives of this
happy group.
Arthur Bell was born March 5, 1890.
In 1911 he waa united in marriage to
Miss Effle Wade, from which happy
union, two children were born.

byterian church officiating.
