An exchange tells of a newspaper

been "mamma's darling" and the
other three had been reared by
their grandmothers.

at the polls Saturday. He is a life-

this speaks well for the real G. W.
Palmer the "inner man that
never never dies."

We own 65000 acres 100 Sections of this choice level Prairie land in a solid body located in Parmer County within 11
miles of Bovina Texas a station on the through line of the Santa Fe Ry. from Chicago to Los Angeles Calif. The Santa
Fe has recently surveyed and been granted a charter to build a cut-off from Texico to Urownwood Texas which when
completed will give the shortest route from the Pacific to the Gulf San Francisco to Galveston. It is expected this road
will be co npleied and trains running within two years. The final survey has been made and runs through this land for
seven miles making it contiguous to two great trunk lines of railway.
This land has grown too valuable for ranching purposes although we have about 0000 steers on it at present time.
After much thought and deliberation we have decided to offer one-half of it for sale believing that tlie value of the remain-
ing half will be more than doubled by the influx of population. Not less than one quarter section or 100 acres w'.ll be
sold to one buyer. There is no choice between different parts of this land; one acre is just as good and no better than
anv other acre. It is all cream and considered the very choicest location in the Panhandle.
Good farming has already demonstrated that this land will produce 40 to 50 bu. of Indian corn ; 20 to 35 bu. of wheat;
SS0 to as high as l0 bu. of oats per acre favorable years ; kaftir corn 35 to 50 bu.; German millet 2 to 4 tons per acre ; milo

The land owner will be the monopolist of the future for no more is being mad.! and population is increasing by leaps
and bounds. .
This country offers unrivaled opportunites to investors who wish to double treble and possibly quadruple tMeir money
within the next few years. A net work of new railroads now building and being surveyed insures a large increase in popu-
lation. A rush of immigration has already set in very similar to the wave which settled South Dakota a few years ago.
TOPOGRAPHY A beautiful level plain gently undulating in places sometimes called "The Grassy Wilderness."
The last cheap level rich land left in this country is in North-West Texas.
We unhesitatingly affirm that this sale offers the chance of a life time to those wanting choice livel rich land for a
home for investment or for speculation. Price $10.00 $11.00 and $12.00 per acre according to location improvements
and distance from railroad of which $2.00 per acre cash balance on 25 years time; 5 annual interest notes to read
"on or before" and can be paid off and taken up at any time. .
"Opportunity knocks once at every man's door." A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient. I.uy a section of this
land make the small pavnient necessarv and keep the interest paid up a few years and it will likely make you independent
for life. Excursion rates over all railroads every first and third Tuesday in each month round trip ticket from Chicago
to Bovina Texas only $25.00 very low rates from all points in the Middle West. We will arrange for a private car from
Chicago to Bovina for parties containing eighteen or more. "Seeing is believing" and when you see this country you will
ask vourself "Whv is it not worth as much as Central Illinois?" Preserve this ad for it may mean gold do.lars to you
and yours. We advise quick action for this extraordinary bargain will be gone while you hesitate.
