Wo will *top long enough to inform
our aouttiern cousins that we are still
sojourning in this land of promise
and art still on the hooest run trying
to catch our interest in life, and
11tough six yean Itave elapsed since
we directed our stops northward and
came up to “pomeas the land,” true

s stock of independence, for we an
"mooarcii of all we survey, ” none has
s right to dispute as long as we rem-
ember to pay our taxes and ezerclu
pluck and perseverance
We have had such a fine summer,
as beautiful as anyone ever enjoyed,
and as the breath of the chilling
frost is turning tlie maple leaves to
crimson and tlie birch to a golden
line, we would feel with Bryant
"The melancholy days are come.”
Although reminded "that our days
of roam are few, ” we console ourselves
with the thought that summer does
not contain all tlie beauties of Cana-
dian climate. No brush or pencil
can portray the grandeur of our for-
est* io tlie w inter. Such sights make
one feel as the poet, that "every pros-
pect pleases and only man Is vile.”
Beautiful evergreen trees that even
tlie winter king cannot conquer—al-
tlioUgkAuuai everything else will be
under hit power—tlie balsam and
spruce retain their foliage and splen-
dor, never bending under their but-
1 den or snow, with which their palm
like branches are laden,
We think it would astonish the
average Texan to see our clover folds.
Canadian farmers cut the timber,
burn off the "slash.” log ft up and
seed it down in timothy and clover
hay for four or five years: then plow
tlie land up and it is ready for any

they have devoured loads of thorn

J. B. Smith of the Topaz country
was down on a visit to his daughter,
Mrs. C. A. Garrison, this week. Mrs.
Garrison accompanied him on his re-
turn home for a visit of a few days.
"Uriel#" Mace Jooas has been very
sick, but is better at this writing.
A very heavy crop of sorghum
and hay io this section needs to be
cut at once and everybody is busy

wait a few days, but the grass must
be cut at ooce.

roots that thrive here are two num-
erous to mention.
We have just finished cutting the
second crop of clover off out land
this summer; Is this good for this
short cl I matey Never had a plow
in this piece of land.
This country It well watered and
well timbered and It Is only wafting
to be well peopled to make on* of the
finest countries on the western hem-
isphere. We are exultant over the
foot and It might be of some Inter-
est to you, when we realise the pro-
gram we are making from survey
lines to ststy-foot roads graded up;
from foot logs to abutments and pile
bridges, all done by the government,
and from pole shanties to hewn log
two-story liouses and aomo' frame
ones: from "puncheon” floors to
tongue and grooved ones makyi us
think we are advancing.
Tlie marie of cow bolls now break
the awful stilloeas of the forest.
We think our ootony no longer a back
number, even now that "Yankee co
kray” (that’s what the Canadians
call os) owns boom fine houses and a
number of fertile forms.
We wish yon all to remember the
days of "Auld. Lang Syne." ^

John Cage has disposed of his busi-

The prisoners In the Erath county
jail did considerable damage to the
door of the cage in which they were
incarcerated a few days ago. They
secured a bolt from one of the Inside
doors and used this to force the out-
side door off the hinges. None of
them escaped.
Jeff Sartain gave a hypnotic enter-
tainment at the court house last
night, which ciested quite a sensa-
tion among the goodly number that
was present. There lias been sever-
al hypnotists here, but lie is equal
to any of them If not superior.
Hand Mangled In a Ota.
Geo. Griffin, employed at Arm-
strong's cotton gio. had a serious ac-
cident happen to him yesterday
morning at the gin, which caused
him tlie loss of a part of a finger on
one hand. He was cleaning one of
the saws and the saw caught the
hand and lacerated three fingers In
such a manner as to cause the ampu-
tation of a part of one of tlie fingers.
It is thought neither of the other
fingers will be lost.
