C. The modest building pictured here
housed the first banh. with which
the American government had any
official connection, and from this
small beginning has grown up the
vast system of banking in this
country.
^ Of that system this banh. is a part,
and it is that part which best rep-
resents the banhing facilities of this
community. It offers to our people
the same opportunities that larger
institutions offer the people of
larger communities.

THE TEXAS COUNTY BANK
DEPOSITS GUARANTEED. "A HOME INSTITUTION"
M. E. CHURCH RECEPTION
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
Enohgh cannot be said of the splen-
did manner in which the men of the
Methodist church banqueted the ladies
last Friday night. Covers were lai'
for 50 and while that number dined
and chatted, the later arrivals sat in
the west room of the church parlors
•and" passed the time very pleasantly,
although it seemed hours before those
in the dining room joined the others.
Tables were filled a second time and
those who were so fortunate as to he
among the invited guests deemed it a
privilege indeed. After the sumptuous
banquet they w^re invited to the audi-
torium, where an address of welcome
was given by Mr. Gromer. The num-
bers were theq divided into six sec-
tions and each section given five min-
utes in which to prepare a special
stunt. These afforded much amuse-
ment and many were not aware of the
great amount of talent lying dormant
in our «uidst. In his flowery manner
Judge Tyler then narrated many in-
teresting anecdotes of ranch life in th*
early days before there was such a
place as Guymon. As a great many
were present and the financial com-
mittee thought some valuable time
might be saved, they gave all an op-
portunity to contribute to their yearly
budget. Much to their amazement
$1,600 was subscribed in a very few
minutes. At 10 the crowd dispersed,
thanking the men for a very pleasant
evening.
MISS NANCE'S RECITAL
As was predicted last week by this
paper, the recital given by the pupils
of Miss Anita Nance packed the audi-
torium of the High School building last
Thursday evening. It was a decided
success from start to finish, and unlike
mahjr affairs it was free from a single
dull number. The young people all ac-
quitted themselves admirably and in a
manner to reflect credit' upon them-
selves and their teacher. Each pupil
showed the individual attention that
parents all like to see and that lias
made Miss Nance so popular with her
pupils and their parents. It was one
of the best recitals ever given here.
MARIE HALL-BRIMACOMBE DUO
Those who attended the lyccurn
number at the auditorium last Satur-
day night were not disappointed. What
the company lacked in numbers they
made up in the quality of their enter-
tainment. Mrs. Brimacombe is blest
with a sweet soprano voice of unusual
quality, volume and compass, she has
taken advantage of much study and
professional experience and has devel-
oped her talents to such an extent that
she is a winner wherever she appears.
Her songs in costume were particularly
enjoyed, especially those of her own
composition. She is accompanied by a
splendid pianist in Miss Lucille F.ier-
mood. On Sunday Mrs. Brimacombe
rendered the solo at the evening serv-
ice at the Methodist church.
"The Call of the Kodak"
COMES WITH SPRINGTIME
Spring is the ideal season for both amateur
and experienced photographers. Nature is
at her best and will provide ample subjects
for your "snap-shots."

the inexpensive pleasure of taking pictures?
tfl Anyone can get good results with the per-
fected Kodak which we sell—and the cost
is too small for consideration.

PURE BRED HEREFORD
SALE A BIG SUCCESS
More Than Ordinary Enthusiasm Mani-
fested by Local Live Stock Men—
Several Breeders From a Distance
in Attendance—Elliott Bull Brings
Top Price of $300.
We would say that the pure bred
Hereford sale held in Guymon yester-
day was a big success, for when the
threatening weather that kept many
good buyers away and the fact that
the sale established a precedent for
Texas county are taken into consider-
ation, this statement may well he
made. It was the first annual sale
held under the auspices of the Texas
County Improved Breeders' Associa-
tion. All cattle offered for sale sold
at a reasonably good figure. The av-
erage wus fair, some selling as high
as $800. While we feel that the con-
tributors to the sale did not receive
any more for their cattle than they
could have got at private sale, yet
they have established an annual sale
for Texas county which will grow into
one of the greatest sales^of the south-
west and ten years hence when other
blooded animals are led into the arena
of a pavilion erected for the purpose
and knocked off at a handsome price,
the contributors to yesterday's sale
may reflect with pleasure and a source
of satisfaction upon the past. We be-
lieve, too, that our farmers duly ap-
preciate the fact that these men have
spent their time and money to make it
possible for them to have this oppor-
tunity to head their herds with the
very best blood of the breed and at a
price within reach of all. The time is
at hand when the scrub must he rele-
gated to the junk heap and the new
pure bred compulsory law which goes
into effect next July will eventually
prove a blessing to every man that
pretends in the least to raise live stock.
Col. H. L. Hull of Des Moines, Iowa,
conducted the sale. He is a good auc-
tioneer arid showed plainly that lie
knows the worth of these.blooded ani-
mals. A list of those in attendance
who purchased one or more animals is
as follows:
M. C. Arnold, Hooker; 1'. A. Booth,
Tyrone; Wilmeth & Chenault, Guymon
(four bulls); Henry Hurlimun, Guy-
mon; Costner Bros., J. T. Smith, JL. 1).

MISS GOLDIE NICHOLAS WEDS
The marriage of Miss Goldie Nich-
olas to Mr. Ralph Menk of Dudley,
111., was quite a surprise to the many
friends ^of the bride in Texas county.
The ceremony was performed at the
home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Will
Church in Guymon at 11 o'clock Sun-
day morning, in the presence of only
the immediate family of the bride.
They left on the afternoon train for
their future home in Illinois, where Mr.
Menk is a farmer and where he has
his residence awaiting the arrival of
its new housekeeper.
Miss Nicholas is virtually a Texas
county product, as she has lived here
for the past 14 years. She received her
education here, taught in the county,
served as deputy under two county
superintendents, worked for some time
in the Guymon post office and held
other positions of trust in the town and
county. She is a young lady of more
than ordinary ability, but quiet and
retiring with it all and will make an
exemplary helpmate for the young man
who has chosen her as his lifelong com-
panion. She is the second daughter
of Mrs. R. E. Frary of Glen Rose. The
best wishes of a host of friends follow
them to their new home.
GUYMON TO HAVE EIGHTH
GRADE EXAMINATION
\n error by the stenographer has
caused a great deal of grief to both
Superintendent Stultz and those who
would naturally take their examina-
tions at Guymon. In the report that
appeared in the Herald. Guymon w*s
left out of the list of places to hold
examinations, but there will be one
held here just the same on April 16.
17 and 18, at the court house.

A new set of officials will be in
charge of the city's affairs after the
next regular meeting of the city coun-
cil. Tuesday's election was the first at
which the women had the right of suf-
frage and they did a fairly good job
of exercising their right. Everything
passed off quietly, as there were no
issues over which the voters were di-
vided. The candidates were all good,
clean business men and we trust those
elected will give us a better town, if
possible, than we have ever had in the
past. The candidates and how they
ran;
Alderman, First Ward—

DEATH CLAIMS
HAROLD UPCHURCH
Friehds of Harold Upchurch were
sadly shocked last week to learn of his
death which occurred at the home of
his wife's parents in the Pleasant Plains
neighborhood of pneumonia. Harold
came to this country about five years
ago and lived near Rolla, Kansas.
Charles Harold Upchurch, son of
Mr., and Mrs. I,. M. Upchurch of Hills-
boro, HI., was born May 8th, 1893 and
departed this life March 19th, 1919,
making him 25 years, 11 months and
27 days of age. He was married
March 3, 1919, to Miss Beulah Fern
Finley of Guymon. Their happy wed-
ded life Was a short one and 'tis very
sad indeed to see such a bright and
prosperous life for two so fated. His
was a loving disposition and he always
saw the bright side. Besides his
young wife he leaves a father, mother,
brother and several sisters, and a host
of relatives and friends to mourn his
loss. The remains were taken to Hills-
boro, III., for burial.
"Not now but in the coming years,
It may be in a better land,
We'll read the meaning of our tears.
And then sometime we'll understand.
