Biennial elections in state and
county governments are now the
exception rather than the rule
though Texas still drags along
in the old rut -
At a recent meeting ot the
stockholders of the Pecos Valley
R'y five of the seven new direc
tors were selected from Amar-
illo and the other two from Colo
rado Springs. Colorado
The Pecos Valley Stockman
has moved from Carlsbad to
Jfcpswell aud is now floating the
Barnes of Lucius Dills and James
Kibbeeasits editors and pro-
prietors. It is greatly improved
since its change of location and
promises a successful and useful
career.
Four hundred thousand appli-
cations for pensions have been
pigeonholed by Commissioner
Evans but will perhaps be dug
out after the elections are over:
"Weneed ajewhundred thousands
"more on Ifie pension rolls id
show our patriotism.
Greenville has set an example
to Texas towns worthy of their
consideration It is in provid-
ing a comfortable room for out
-of-town ladies who go there to
shop said room containing all
conveniences found at a hotel
save meals. Abilene business
men are requested to consider
this' suggestion. Nothing would
e mure appreciated by the
ladies.
The Baird Star of last week
contained some strongdemocrat
ic editorials: Keep it up. neigh-
bor and when the fight is over
go to work for the adoption of
a platform more in accordance
with your views next time. We
must choose between the demo
craticandthe republican plat-
forms now &nd can not afford
to give the enemy aid and com-
fort durincr a exeat baUle.

last but notleas; hcg and homi-
ny are in reach of every farmer's
family in this country what
Tring can live better? and would
cut grocery bills to a minimu m .
First grow food for your own
tables and your domestic ani-
t!s and fowls then look out for
a field of whpat ard cotton.
8o long as cotton goes at seven
cents and better farmers around
Abilene have the world by tne
caudal appendage with a down-
hill pull. But pur farmers and
their families deserve something
better than northern bacon and
should raise their own pork
poultry fruits and such things
as will enable them to free them-
- selves from the grocer and live
according to their deserts.

it is older than the tows by five
years Hervey F. Mayes its
editor says: "The lown has

bged in same in politics Is
style is sise in editors in own-
ers HntU there is very little to
remind one of that first issue of
19 years ago.
Under the present efficient
suuwgemest the paper s pros-
perous snd growing.
When the writer visited cer-
tain sections of the Pacific coast
where the denlsous reported
that sometimes ISO inches pf
rain fell in one year he though
they could not have many clnar
days but during the past few
Months he has been made to
wonder if West Texas had
started in to rival the north Pa-
cific coast even though the clear
skies are nearly always with uu.

Roman Relics in England.
A short time ago dnring some
digging operations in Chester
England an interesting relic of
the Boman occupation pf Great
Britain was unearthed says the
Scientific American. This was
a section of lead piping sup-
posed to have been laid about the
year 79" A. D and was utilized
for the purpose of carrying wat-
er to the Boman camp. About
twelve months ago a similar piece
of piping was unearthed near
this same spot but its origin was
disputed. This new discovery
however sets all such controver-
sies at rest since upon the pip-
ing are plainly inscribed the
words "Cuoevs Julius Agricola."
This relic is additonally interes-
ting since it is said to be the
only inscription extant bearing
tue Roman governor's name.

Col. Parramore attended the
reuskm of the Terry Bangers at
Gonzales last week and reports
a great event. While there were
only 51 of the old beroe present
the warm hearted cordiality and
hospitality were so marked that
every veteran felt be had been
with brothers. Of the old rei-
ment about 100 are known to be
alive. Col. Parrtmore says 1100
went out and 500 afterwards
joined but sickness and bullets
decimated their ranks cruelly
May the remnant live to enjoy
They Pay When They Can.
There are few really dishonest
people m this country as many
merchants have remarked of
late. A collector tells of an in-
stance in hfs experience with a
a sample of those who have here
tofore been unfortunate and are
mdebu Thecollector was out
in the country on a roundup and
was hailed by a man whom he
did not recognize and who said:
"I know you aud what you want.
Jnststepin the' house I have
it." He had owed the bill six
years and paid it in full insisting
also on paying interest. He
apologised for this long delay
but stated that he had been un-
able to meet his bills nntil now
but can pay all and have $500
Jef t. He is only a renter but an
honest man and one whose f u
ture we predict will be upward.
That $500 will help him to buy a
a home of his own and we fancy
he will be cautious about going
into debt hereafter. His name
could be given but he is only
representative of the sturdy
brave and honorable citizenship
of this country. We challenge
the nation to show a better class
of men and women than those of
the Abilene country. May their
kind multiply and fill the land.
