T. P. Bingham Passes
Away at Loving-ton,
New Mexico
After years of service to his coun-
try, T. P. Bingham, Civil War veter-
an, at the. age of 88 years and four
months, died at his home in Loving-
ton, New Mexico, Friday, June 1,
1928, of dropsy.
Almost all his life Mr. Bingham
was a pioneer. Having been born in
Mississippi, he moved to Red River
County, Texas when only a small boy,
soon after he moved to Kllis County
then West Texas. For four years
he served with the Texas Ranger
force.
In about 1803 Mr. Bingham moved
to Western Oklahoma where the In-
dian Territory was being settled.
After a few years there he moved to
New Mexico where he has made his
home since. There he served two
terms as Probate Judge, retiring on-
ly when he felt that he was too old
to render efficient service.
After active service in the Civil
War, he was married in 18C8 in Ellis
County to Mary Morgan, to this union
there were five children born. Af-
ter the death of this wife, he was
married, in Corsicana to Mrs. Letha
Little Smith who died in 1917.
Mr. Bingham was an active mem-
ber of the Baptist church for sixty-
two years.
Mr. Bingham is well known in
Stonewall County where lie has often
visited with his son W. B. (Bailey)
Bingham, of Aspermont, in whom he
has had the pleasure of seeing 'the
same spirit of loyalty and serivece,
manifested through his office of coun-
ty sheriff, that has dominated his
own life.
Funeral services were held in ]. >\-
ington, New Mexico, June 2, wiln the
Iteverand McAuther of Portales, Ne\-
Mexico, his former pastor, conductirg
the services. The five children, all of
whom were present, are: Mrs. R. 1 .
Cathey, Jayton; Tom Bingham, Lov-
ington, New Mexico; Mrs. J. B. Gai-
ther, Pearl, New Mexico; Mrs. Kva
Hardin, Carlsbad, New Mexico; ami
W. B. Bingham, Aspermont, Texas.
"Precious in the sight of the Lore*
is the death of his saints."
The 'Star' extends sympathy to the
bereaved in their hour of sorrow.

LOWER RAILROAD RATES
—o—
The time for the farmers to strik"
for lower railroad rates is now, in
the opinion of William P. Helm, Jr.,
the Washington Correspondent of the
Aspermont Star.
Lower rates can be obtained if the
farmers and other interests needing
them will seize the present opportun-
ity to go after them, Mr, Helm as-
serts.
The method by which this can be
done, in Mr. Helm's opinion, is out-
lined in his forthcoming book, "Hum-
bugging the Farmer," now on the
presses and soon to be placed on sale.
You will be interested in this book,
which deals with practical method.'
of farm relief. Watch for it. ad.

STATE TREASURER W. GREGORY
HATCHER ANNOUNCES CANDI-
DACY FOR RE-ELECTION
I am asking re-election to the ol-
fice of State Treasurer, first because
1 want the office, and secondly b."
cause I feel that I can render a sir
vice to the people of Texas and be-
lieve that they want me to continue

My candidacy is based upon the re-
ford I have made and upon the prin-
ciple that "a public office is a public
trust and must not be used for pri-
vate gain."

REGISTERED JERSEY BULLS
HAVE ARRIVED
The Puerebred Jersey cattle recent-
ly bought by a number of progresive
livestock men, were unloaded at Swen
son, June 11th. The shipment which
included 14 bulls and six heifers were
on the road five days coming from
Falfurrias. Seven of the bulls were
placed in the Swenson Community,
three near Aspermont, three around
Peacock and one at Old Glory.
For the purpose of bull circle or-
ganization, a circle was formed at
each of Peacock, Swenson and Asper-
mont.. The Peacock circle of four
bulls is owned by G. W. Reece, E.
Galloway, A. G. Jones and C. E. Ken-
nedy. Each of these men have a bull
on their place and have agreed to
exchange bulls every two years. This
arrangement permits one man to
keep a purebred bull on his farm for
a period of eight or ten years for the
price of one bull. By exchanging every
two years no inbreeding needs to take
place.
The Swenson circle of five bulls is
owned by G. T. Petty, Henry McEwen,
T. B. Drennan, C. Grantham and Reece
Ward. We understand Mr. Ward did
not get his bull for his herd but ex-
pects the town of Swenson to pay for

As the balloting nears there is a

There is great outpouring here of

$15 a day apiece, it is believed, for

means $375,000 a day or more—a rich
