1 Our Assessor and Survoyor have
just completed their work pf correcting"
the abstract of lands for Palo Pinto
county, and as. a result havo found 92
surveys containing in all 42,120 acres
that has heretofore been cither floated,
eauciled or abandoned, that appears
on the tax rolls, '
W.o neglected in our iesuo of last
.wcok to call attention to tho doublo
columti advcrliscmont of Mr. M. B.
Fryar, nt M ineral WcIIb. Mr. Fryar
is a thorough business man, ono, who
understands tho needs and wants of
tho peopln ot Palo Pinto county, and,
if tho peoblo of tho Wells and sur-
rounding country will favor him with
their trade ho will sell them goods
cheaper than tho same goods can bo
purchnied olscwhotv in , tho county.
But it should bo- remembered that to
do so, ho must secure tho larger part
of tboir trado. His aim is to supply
the pcopto as cheap us the' sumo goods
caii bo purchased in Wcatborford, anil
hold tho trade that h;m .hitherto gone
to that placo, with square dealing and
liouust representations. Jlence, if a
bill of goodn to the amount of $25 or
more is wanted bo will nmlco speuial
figure on overy thing, preforiug to sell
largo qualities of goods nt small profits
rathor than sell small quantics nt large
pruflls, and tho people can rest assured
that if they net upon tho suggestions
heroin' contained that they will be
greatly honefitedi'theroby. A visit to
his storo wili oust you nothing, -and in
bur opinion wiU'provo advantapioas as
his goods have been marked down to
vory'roasonablo prices.
A number of, ladies holonging to tho.
Baptisv church met at tho rcsidenoe of
Mr. &.. W, D.ilton last week, and or-

tho Ladies Baptist Aid , Society of
Palo Pintoand olootod Mm. Sterling
Smith Presidont, Mrs. G. W. Dalton
Scorotary and Treasurer, arid Mrs. S. B.
Garrott assistant Soo'y aud treasurer.
The object as wo understand it, is to
crcato a hotter feoling among the
Baptists of tho town and surroundings,
and to procure a prcachor, and build a
church. This is a laudablo enterprise,
and 'tho Stah hopes that1 thosq worthy
ladio's efforts will bo riohly royvardod.

brilliant affair dnd a financial suaccss,
