Editor Ray of the Hereford Brand was

ways glad to see Mr. Ray for we think a
newspaper man can tell us something.
W. S. Dixon and family of Cleo Com-

Mr. Dixon just returned from Lamb county

ports things in good condition down there.
Geo. Scarbrough who has been manager
of the Flag Ranch has given up his position
and we understand Geo. is thinking of going
to Old Mexico to look over the country, but
we Sue sure he will do like all others, "come
back."
This community was visited by a big rain
last Saturday night and Sunday, the largest
rain that has fallen hese in six years; it
measured 4.7 inches, consequently our lakes
are all full, crops and grasses of all kinds
are looking well.
Dr. A. B. Parr and family have moved
in the house they bought from Dr. Chas. E.
Donnell. We are all glad to have a doctor
because sometimes we need him. We un-
derstand that Dr. Donnell will locate at
Canadian. The people of this community
hated to set Dr. Donnell and family leave
rn$e, bnt they all wish him much success
his new location.

had been confined to his room for
several months, died on last Satur-
day night. Mr. Turrentine was
among our best and most respected
citizens and our entire community
will sorely feel the loss.
The funeral services were con-
ducted at the Methodist church Mon-
day afternoon after which the re-
mains were laid to rest in the city
cemetery.
Their many friends will join the
Brand in extending sympathy to
the bereaved family.
Wedding Announcement.
Cards are out announcing the
marriage of Miss Georgia Blanche
Herrón to Charles Beazley Googer at
the home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. F. Herrón, Mav 7, 1905.
Items From Hart.
Miss Hallie Weeks had a chill
last week and was not able to teach
for two days.
A. R. Biggs of Duncan, I. T.,
who owns a ranch down here, spent
a few days with his foreman J. C.
McLain last week. He is much
pleased with the growth of his
steers, and conditions of all other
stock on the ranch.
While riding south of here last
week we found W. S. Dixon, our en-
ergetic tax assessor, over in Hale
county hunting for some one who
had not been assessed. Hunt them
up Dixon. It is as much to your in-
terest as it is to ours. If they hide
out, go after them.
It is still gaining down here, and
we believe this to be the wettest sea-
son fpr March and April we have
had for the past fourteen years. The
farmer is almost ready to complain
as he is not proceeding as he would
with his crop. He is restless and
tries to make us believe he would
work if he had half a chance.
Mr. Powell foreman on a ranch in
the southeast corner of Crosby
county, who passed hart last Satur-
day lost 12 head of bulls out of 22,
caused by the cold rain Saturday
night. Some other stock were left
by the trail to be gathered some
future day. These cattle will be
shipped to Kansas and put on grass
for the summer.
We are up against a serious prop-
osition. The continued wet weather
is putting forth many obnoxious
weeds which are very destructive to
all kinds of farming and stock in-
terest. It will require lots of labor
to carry us over, but the^man that
will commence in time and kill all
vegetation befóre it seeds will save
much time and labor next year. The
wise farmer proceeds with caution.
We are once more brought to sad-
ness and almost tears to learn that
old John turned up his toes and
passed in his check for this life.
Old John was a trusty old mule and
has done much good service for, lo,
these many years. He was as good
under the saddle as he was in the
collar. He was always on hand and
ready to get into all kinds of' mis-
chief. So those who never saw a
dead mule can be assured, they will
die. We have great sympathy for
his mate, old Jack.
We are glad to note the movement
and interest taken in cattle through-
out the country. It looks now like
we might be assured of a very good
price for what we have for sale, and
by close observation we qpe that
high-grade stuff is topping the mar-
ket. This is proof enough that the
scrub must go and ¡the sooner the
better. If we can realize $2.50
mnrc fnr half than w#> fin fnr
good calves what ought we to get
when our herds run up to 2.-3 or 7-8.
A few figures will convince us that
now is the time. We must have bet-
ter stuff to eat the better grass.
When our land was worth $1.00 per
acre any cow would give us a fair
profit, but now our grass is better or
at least it cost more and we must
have better stuff to eat it. A scrub,
cow will never pay to graze $5 lands

6BBVES & ELLISTON
Have both Panhandle ranche*
and farms for sale. Do you
want a home cheap? If so
you should not hesitate a mo-
ment to write us telling what
you want. Now is the oppor-
tunity of a life time to secure
homes cheap, as our lands are
rapidly advancing in value.
Read what one of our farmers
has done:
I cafne to Deaf Smith County,
Texas, in 1891 from Iowa with noth-
ing but. wagon and team. In 1897, I
received from Iowa about $2,000.00.
I now own 2880 acres of land, 500
head of cattle, a nice bunch of horses
and a little bank stock. I raise on
my farm almost anything I plant,
grow principally stock feed. I con-
sider this an excellent stock farming
country and believe that stock can be
fattened for market here cheaper than
in the north, i
I came here for my health, which
has been full restored.
R. J. KIBBE.
Hereford, Texaa, March 24, 1905.
All communications ad-
dressed to us will receive
prompt and careful attention,
or better still if you will come,
we will show you the country
without cost to you.
