1 could
When 1 measured
That time could have my baby,
A little boy alway.
With eyes as brown as chestnuts,
And cheeks of reddest bloom;
Thy little tongue e'er brattling
The music of our home.
To-night I wished, my darling.
When I laid thee in thy bed,
Thaf years could never darken
The bright hair on thy head.
Sweet as the angels sleeping
I'd have thee thus alway,
Could a fond mother's wishing
Keep coming Time at bay. t
Each year I find thee growing.
They pass as ifwift years can—
I know, my little darling
Is growing to a man.
How faught with fear and trembling
The heart which counts the years,
I,es* all my hopes and yearning
Should turn to bitter teats.
1 have asked the great All Father,
I ask Hint still tonight—
Yea, all my days as asking,
That he will guide thee right,
Though 1 might leave thee early
To seek the Valley's gloom,
Ere to thy life's full manhood
Thou baby hoy art come.
Yet dead 1 would speak to three
In words 1 pen tonight.
And trust as some sweet blessing,
That they may greet thy sight,
shouldst thou read
A number of people attending the
Round-Up this year had occasion to
travel over the Rocksprings-Sonora
road from the Rocksprings end, call-
ed our attention to the fact that the
road to the Wheat lane is in excellent
condition; in fact this road is in better
shape at this time than for years, and
many tell us that it is even better now
than at any-time since it has been
built.
People from a distance traveling this
roail through Rocksprings probahilv
notice the improvement on the road-
bed more than do those of us who
live and travel the road from day to
day, and these parties do not fail to
call attention to its condition from
year to year.
We are indeed gratified that this
very important road has been so
worked within the last few months as
to attract the attention, of not only
our home people, but those from a
distance who have traveled it in the
last few months.
It is hoped that the State Highway
Department, after making its present
preliminary survey, will decide to use
a larger portion of the old road in its
construction prograjir, for Commis-
sioner Balentinc has straightened the
road in several places, as well as giv-
ing the roadbed a needed drainage
structure, and we are confident pro-
perty owners along the old route would
prefer that the road remain on the
present desgination, if that be possible,
for a distance of at least 28 miles.
This would naturally reduce very
materially the cost of building the
road, and at the same time, would
give the highway department many
miles of good base, properly drained,
between Rocksprings and the Wheat
ranch.
This end of the Brackettville road
is receiving quite a good deal of im-
provement at this time, and Commis-
sioner Balentinc'* work on the bad
per, B. D. Roberts, Moral Forbes, stretches of this road to where it
Frank ©tis Cloudt. Chester Cloudtjjoins Commissioner McNealy's dist-
and the hostesses. . j rict. is being brought up in cxccl-
| lent shape. ,
Federal money is responsible for the
improvement program on both these
roads, and our people should take this
into consideration when voting on the
820,000,000 bond issue. Can we afford
to lose this appropriation that is com-
ing to us regularly from the Federal
government, making it possible for us
to build and maintain our lateral roads,
and take care of the streets in Rock-
springs. Barksdale and other necessary
work, that is giving employment to
many in this section?

Remember then my, son,
'i hy mother’s heart low bowing
Before the Father’s throne.
The world is wide, my darling;
Temptation is abroad.
Anri it will greet three smiling
In many a bright abode,
j Where'er thy feet may wander,
'Twill meet thee night and day,
'Tis this I fear and tremble,
While for my hoy 1 pray.
Oh, shun the cup, mtv darling,
The wine may sparkle red.
But all the draught is mingled
And sweetened for the dead.
Aye. shun the wiley tempter.
And when thou wouldest partake,
Remember then, "thy mother"—
Refuse it for my sake.
Oh! shun the jeweled table,
Its coins of rarest gold;
Beneath it lies a skeleton
All grim, ami white, and cold.
Put hack thy dishonest earnings,
There's poison in the touch,
A little with thy manhood,
Were better far than much.
Oil! shun the wiles of woman
And think not beauty brings
A woman's heart—nor music,
Each scarlet lip that sings.
But when the pearl thou findest
Remember, oh my bo,y,,
To thee 'tis more than rubies
And next to heaven, thy joy.
Remember e'er thy manhood.
Thy country and thy panic;
Walk upright—keep it spotless
'Twere better far than fame.
Remember thy one sister,
And to each other he
A treasure living—and if dead
A pleasant memory.
God guide thee, oh; m.v( darling,
And teach thee what is good;
Keep thee as pure and loving
As in thy baby-hood.
God keep thee, in thy manhood,
In the shadow of ,His wing
Be o'er thy life—and dying,
The death which has no sting.
Walker Ragsdale purchased 50,000
pounds of long and short wool from
the Edwards County Wool and Mo-
hair Warehouse Company Saturday,
for account of Tom Ritchey, paying
an average of 26 cents per pound for
the accumulation.
This about winds up the accumu-
lations'in Edwards county warehouse
organizations, and .ranchmen are now
getting ready for the mohair clips that
will he shorn the last of this month,
in the hopes that the grown hair will
bring a price near 40 cents.
