Announcements.
Cupid subtle and bold The
women have tag days to promote
most every other public enter-
prise and why uot a tag day for
bachelors. We have in Texas
130,000 bachelors and an equal
number of widows. Why not get
•them together and solve two
vexatious problems with one
marriage license?
FOR TaX ASSESSOR.
I hereby announce my candidacy for re-
election to the office of Couuty and State Tax
Assessor subject to the will of the people at
the election in November next. W. L. Owen.
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
I hereby announce my candidacy for the
offiice of county commissioner, Dist. .No. 1,
for the county of Lipscomb for the coming
term, subject to the will of the people at the
election in November. J. S. Bussard.
Should a non-resident land
owner sign up for $1.00 an acre
on the railroad proposition and
the road would happen to go
within two or three miles of his
t ind whereby it would advance
in value $5 or $10 an acre, it
would be a pretty good business
idea, but on the other band
should he fail to come in on the
proposed railroad and the op
porfcunity slip by through his not
being present—that would be
pretty poor judgment.
• A great many state legisla-
tures have given consideration to
bills taxing bachelors and many
convincing arguments have been
presented why men who escape
matrimony should pay a penalty,
but why not tap them as a more
painless and effective method of
extermination. If the bachelors
were tagged the widows could
easily find them and Cupid would
do the rest. The bachelor is
naturally timid, but under the
encouraging influence of a merry
widow he can easily be led to the
altar, for there is no more help-
less craft afloat than a lovesick
swain who has passed the age of
discreetion, and the little imp
that plays ping-pong with human
)arts has no more capableaily
an a woman who loves at second
for experience makes
Does it Pay to Orderby Mail?
I have studied the prices of
woven fence in the mail order
catalogs and a^o in their special
cut price pamphlets and find
their lowest quotations are easy
for us to meat. We sell all the
year round at prices as thev make
on their special sales.
We have just made a special
order for some woven fence
which we sold at 16£c a rod aucl
this is not the cheapest woven
fence we catf buy, nor is it as
light as some of the fence offered
in the mail order catalogs.
As we help build your roads
and help support your schools
and the mail order house* do
not, we feel that it is unfair to us
if you send away any ordei for
fence without bringing along your
cataloges and comparing our
prices with theirs

ad Per J. H. McBride,
Glazier, Texas, Feb. 2, 1914.
Graded Seed Corn.
Selected from 3000 bshels grown
on my fam six miles west of Hig-
gins, Texas, in the year 1913
Large White variety, grown in
Lipscomb county, Texas, during
th*1 past eleven years. This corn
is graded with a corn grader, the
round, crooked and thick grains
being removed, nothing but the
best grain left for se d. Grading
overcomes mis-plant aud gives
good £tand. Have learned by
experience that a few round or
thick grains, when in planter box,
will get into plates and will not
drop through, but crowds good
grains out of plate, and failure of
planting causes from 10 to 30 per
cent of mis plant, therefore not a
good stand, enough loss to the
farmer to pay rent on the land.
See! A limited amount of seed
corn on hand. Order quick
sending money with order. Price
$2 per bushel delivered at Hig-
gins, Texas. Address all orders
toW. F Myers, Higgins, Texas.
