Don't bo fooled by adver
tisements of women's Bhoes
which are "super-elegant,"
"sculptured," "dainty,"
"architectural" and' "statu-

word and ask if they FitI
There's the poiritl There's
the rubl There is one shoe
for women that has built
itself up to the top notch of
popularity on Fit.
That shoe is the "Queen Quality."
If you want to see your foot look a full size smaller; if you want to spare yourself
- 1
half of your daily fatiguo; if you want, to own shoes which" will be a constant de-
light and last longer because they fit accurately, buy a single pair of "Queen

Bell Count Court.
The non-jury civil docket was
taken up in the district court last
week, and only otie case was dis-
posed of Temple National Bank
vs J. B. Townsend ct al., in
which judgment was rendered for
g6oo, with interest and fore-closure
of vendor's lien. This week has
been taken up with new jury
cases that have been reset. The
criminal docket will be taken up
Monday,. March g. The crand
jury assembled last week and
found two bills.
From, Jonah'
Editor Tribune: As i have not
seen anything from our little
whale city, I will write you a few
lines.
We are having lots of rain-down
here. Farmers have, done very
little plowing. It is now corn
planting time and nobody is ready
for it. Nearly all of the fields
would bog a snipe.
Our school is moving along
nicely, although the attendance is
very small this week. We have
three teachers, Prof. Jessie Halds-
hauser, principal, Misses Brig'.iam
and Brown assistants.
Mr. W. J. McDonald returned
Monday from a pleasant trip to
Galveston.
J. A. F. Carroll has sold his in-
terest, in the grocery and dry
goods business to his partner, Mr.
J. L. Bevell.
Mr. R. H. Northcott has pur
chased half interest in the Barlow
blacksmith shop at Granger, and
will move there some time in the
near future,
There is so me talk of a hard-
ware store being opened in Jonah
soon. Bust,
Tfie Railroad Project'
The Bartlett, Corn Hill and'
Davilla electric road is attracting
attention all over the country.
Letters are coming almost daily
from Philadelphia, Ciiicinatti,
Birmingham, Ala., Chicago,, etc.,
from Companies having rails and ;
supplies generally and from some
who have everything needed
even money to construct and
operate the line. They all seem
to know that roads, built on this
black land, arc bound to pay. It
is hoped, even believed that the
roads and ground will be dry
enough by next week for the en-
gineering party to go over the
lini and be prepared to make es-
timates of cost etc., e'c. Then
talk air will begin to solidify and
take shape. It takes good -land
to make good mud, and it takes
good mud to make good enough
steam in men to make them build
good roads, and railroads are the
cheapest and most practicable
that can be built on black land
mud. Yes, they will be built.
It's a ground hog case.
Land Deals-
On last Monday S E .Whitlow
purchased from A. S. Clark 100
acres of land, adjoining his farm
consideration S42.50 acre, cash.
Mr. Clark, in turn, bought the
Herndon old place, near town,
from Henry Mayo, consisting of
220 acros, for $50 per acre. Pos-
session of land will not be given
until Jan. 1Q04. Some of the
above land was bought by Mr.
Mayo, some few years ago, at'
S25 to S30 tfer acre.
Mr. Whitlow purchased the
Clark farm for his son, A. D.
Whitlow.
Shipped Cattle-
On last Friday M. Pace, who is
feeding cattle here for the market,
slupned out a couple of cars tn
the Fort Worth yards.,

' Bushy Western;
From Ardmore, X- T.
Editor Tribune: I thought I
would write a few lines to your
paper as everybody down ther,e'
is anxious to hear from the I. T.
I will say to the farmers that they
do not want to stop areund Ard?
more to farm for the country is
rough and land works sorry, but
for business this is a good 'town.;
However, honor counts for noth-
ing here with most business men.
Tnoy have been making money
here and chances are good yet,
but this town is oirer done with
business and business houses.
Rent property is high. We are
in a brick house 25x08 feet and
pay $60 per month, residence
property is high, too. Houses
out on the farms are little old
log houses, most of them with
dirt floors.
I have seen our old friends
Frank and Dick Vernon Tom
Payne ai!d Fate Putmann, they
live 10 mile's out in the country.
Some 40 or 60 miles north of
here there is some good farming
country, but to rent land old
Bartlettcountry is ;good enough,
and a man can not buy this land
yet. The health of the town is
generally good. ' I have enjoyed
the very best of health since
coming here.
I read the Tribune' every "week
and see what is going on at Bart-
lett. When I come home I may
come on that electric- road from
Corn Hill. I would be glad to
see Bartlett get the road for she
needs it very bad. Of course,
you do not need that flowing well
just yet, for I think there must be
water all over the ground and 1
guess you don't have to buy ice
for cooling purposes, for ve have,
had plenty of ice here lately. One
week ago today t rained all day
and night and began Bleeting
Sunday morning, keeping it up
all day, with snow Sunday night
and Monday morning and there
is plenty of snow on tho ground
still, this being Friday.
I was sorry to hear of the sad
doath of our young friend, Will
Jarrell. I would have enjoyed
being at the preachors' meeting
recently held at the M. E. church,
glad everybody had a nice.timo.
Well, I'll oloso these remarks
with best wishes to Bartlett peo-
ple and loye to my friends, from
one who loves Bartlett and -her
people. ' Tom Smart,
