Thai Mangum ha* Ixrcn one of the favored *on* of for-
tune in the pa*t will not be denied unleM it be understood
that the favor* came an a mere matter of fortune. No one
fully acquainted with the past hiatory of our thriving little
city for five year* back will positively aver that our blessings
have couie absolutely and alone through the medium of good
fortune, accident or chance.
We do remember, however, that at one time in the not
far distant past that it was almost an oxioin on our streets
that "what we wanted we could get" aud seemingly the mat-
ter of greatest importance to us then was to keep the safety
valve of our wanting proclivities at a consistent point. Our
wants had not been voluminous and good judgment had guid-
ed our ambitions. Success seemed to attend our every effort
and in a short time we became justly proud of ourselves.
These were the days when Mangum was the unrivaled
mistress of the southwest territory. Things naturally gravi-
tated to us having no where else to go. Other places around
were mere small specks upon the horizon of Mangum's ob-
servation and were not to be taken into consideration when
we went after something billed for our immediate territory.
That was in times past.
Later, as competition began to arise, and enterprises
seemed no longer to rush pell mell over each other to become
established in our little city, a few of the more thoughtful and
long-headed decided that a disposition of public interest in
public affairs would redound to the general welfare of Man
gun.. Some of the efforts succeeded in arousing interest, oth- Z'lZ'J "" "" 1
ers fell as soon as launched frozen with chilly indifference.
