There is, a young buck negro
in Fort Worth who, although in
fairly good health took an oath
Thursday-morning at the police
station to forever forego his in-
herent taste for chicken and othr
- er fowl. A—big. .bald-headed
American eagle which a year ago
. soared in the West Texas alti-
tudes. but which has lately dec-
orated the back yard of a promi-
nent livestock commission man s
residence on the south side, is the
cause of the negro's rash resolu-1
tion.
Wednesday night the bird of in-
dependence went to roost on the
back fertce and, tucking its head
under one wing, prepared for a
nitfht of uninterrupted slumber.
But the negro happened to pass
through-the alley and spied the
bird silhouetted against the

logical garden, was exhibited,*
and if the local park board de-
clines to receive the eagle as a
gitt it will immediately be for-
warded to the city at the mouth
of the Kaw.

Trips-What is Doing
Everything on All Sides Prosper-
ous and the Crops in Fine
Condition on the Plains
' Last week we had the pleasure
to again go the rounds, so to
speak, and we find that things
had changed some since our last
trip something more than six
weeks before. It was a pleasant
surprise to see the wonderful
growth that the crops have made
and the general good conditions
of the various crops in this terri-
tory.
On leaving Crosby ton we' went
to Floydada, passing through the
fine farming districts, and we
see on all sides a line of wonder-
ful improvements, and the crops
are far better than we expected.

The Merchants of Plainview,

vinced of the pullitfg power of
the Review, for the liberal pat-
ronage given us in the past. We
closed some nice contracts to be-

cover the entire territory with
Reviews soon. We picked up

man and a screech of exultation
from the bird brought*.he hpuse

and in vain did he try to dislodge
the eagle with a broom, although

the oat to beaeafter run every
time he sees a chicken or tur-

Thursday morning the owner of

Negro Hangs
Jackson, Miss, July 23.—At
last 4,000 people many-of then
women, witnessed the hanging
at Brandon'of Will Mack the ne-
gro who outraged the 15-year old
daughter of a prosperous Rankin
County farmer in November,
1908. -Irtfthe crowd was the ne-
gro's vic&m arid several mem-
ber of her family. The drop was
eight feat; breaking the the pris-
oner's neck. When the body
W&scut down there was a wild
scramble for" rope souvenirs.
the crowd Was admittedly the
largests ever seen by the oldest
inhabitants.
consider the dry time we have who are well fixed in this worlds
"Just •undergone."' The Cone pep-1 goods and are the very kind of
pie are jolly and are as cheerful folks that have a happy home,
as ever and are ever ready to bid and make all around them feel
you welcome and make you feel
good. .
On arriving at Floydada, we
hardly recotrnized the place for
on all sides .there were new
well and at home.
Thursday morning we made
our way into Petersburg, where
we find that little city«fastly im-
proving and doing well. We
houses ai.d thejownjn_a ggfleral.-met several new-people and find
that much is being done in way
of general developments. Crop
conditions are fine and the farm-
ers in fine spirits doing well and
hopeful of a bumper feed crop.
Some have harvested good yeilds
of wheat, and other small grain
and the corn in places is simply
fine. Stalcup and Son have a fine
stock of goods and are gradually
buijding up a fine trade. The
other merchants are doing well
and are attracting attenion for
many miles away, from the fact
that they have good stocks of
goods and sell at low prices.
Mack admitted at the last mom-
ent that he wis guilty.
Fire And Firearms
.Marlin, Texas, r July 13. —Fire
and firearms figured conspicuous-
iy in thcgctaway of Joo MaTonc
uproar of get-up-and-go-to-the-
front. We done a nice business
in our line picking up some new
readers Tor the Review, and some
of the merchants will have an ad
in the Review at an early date
and ww ask you to look out for
them for it is worth your while
to"look well after our advertis-
ers. Why? Because they give
you the best possible for your dol-
lars. Our first night .out of
Floydada we had the' good luck
to spend with Mr. L. S. Ken-
nedy, who is, -hy theway, one of
the most substantial farmer^ in
the country and he is the man
who plants a fine crop of hogs,
as well as other fine stock, and
the general appearance around
his place is such that he will be
sure to succeed and will do to be
sited too as an exair.ple foi the
ordinary to follow. We spent a
pleasant night and will long jre-
member this good family.
Tuesdav we arrived at Lock-
ney. Growing did you say? Well
tawn LooTmoy ia ffoiag.
Mr. W. D. Lamar, of Emma,
was in Crosbyton yesterday and
late in the evenjng he was a calip-
er at our office and informed us
that he had just closed a deal
with the Bassett Land Company
for $2,000.00 worth of Crosbyton
property, and that he would be
at home in Crosbyton as soon as
he could have a residence buito.
He will begin work as soon as
possible and will then move as
soon as he can. Mr. Lamar, said
in part: "I try to be conserva-
tive, and as I have not made any
mistakes as yet in investments,
and as I have always made mon-
ey in all I have undertaken, I,
after about a year's careful
study, and constant watch, de-
cided that Crosbyton is destined
to make the town of this part of"
the South Plains, and believing
thus I have today purchased
more than $2,000.00 worth of
Crosbyton property.".
People who know Mr. Lamar
will appreciate this fact, and .as
he has been an often visitor to
our town and as we all have all
the confidence in him that man
usually has, we feel store-that he ~
has made no mistake. Mr.
Lamar has been one of the fore-
most land men of Emma for the
pa9t two years and has settled
many a contented farmer and
citizen in Crosby county, and we
have heard it said fh^t every
man that Mr Lamar ever settled-
in this county has made good on'
investment, and has been many
times paid, and well pleased. It
i? with great pleasure that we,
the people of Crosbyton, welcome
him and his good family, and we
trust that his move will prove
good the sound judgment that
he has always displayed hereto-
fore. We welcome you.
