Big Cattle Deal*.
During the big convention many
cattle sales wore consu mated, hut
the particulars reggr£ti|g tho trans-
fers woie difficult tfl leafn. However,
a reporter succeeded in running a tew
ot them down.
Probably the largest transaction
made was that of A. II. Pierce oi
Pierce station, conceded to be one of
tho most extensive cattten cn of
Southern Texas, who disposed of
5000 head of steers to George Miller
of Winfield, Kau The delivery will
probably be made about tho middle
otMay. The price paid was $14 per
head, or an aggregate oi $70)000.
The Nave-McCord cattle company,
one oi tho lending cattle firms of the
Colorado City country, sold to Mr.
Franklin of Montana 2000 steers tor
$14.50 per head. The steers were
two-year-olds, and said to be a flue
bunch of cuttle.
A sale ol 2000 two-year-old steers,
the property of Gus O’Keefe of Colo
rado City, was consumatcd yester
day, tho purchaser beiug a Mr. Rich
ardson of Montana. The amount
paid per head was $14, ior May de-

Several other sales wpre closed, but
facts could not bo learned. Mauy

Our town has started on another
boom. Mf.CJaud Hamilton, formerly
of the Queen City, but now of San
Antonio, is now having a vory nice
business house erected ou south sido
Travis street, lrontiug Geo. Burch-
field’s saloon. This building, 24x50
feet,will add wonderfully to the looks
oi our town, as well as on other busi-
ness; can’t tell yet what kind ol busi-
ness will bo run in the new bouse,but
it has been rumored that it will be
groceries, managed'by a gentleman
from a neighboring town. The work
ou this building is being presided
over oy Summers Bros., the leading
contractors of tho town. The city is
also having a bridge built trom L. D,
Murphey’s corner across tbo sag to
the railroad, n distance of 100 feet;
this is the work of our worthy May-
.or, N. R. Summerall.
Just here I might mention that we
have a school that is not only a credit
to Holland, bat alao to the state, with
Prof. W. C.nolbert as principal. He
has been with us two years, aud tho
general wish is that he will remain.
The business men of the town com-
plain some ot dull times, but we
might state just here that our trade
comes from the farmers and we can’t
expect them to stay iu town anu
trade all tho time. Why do business
men never think of this?
We have a class ol farmers in this

Mr. Editor, those gentlemen are
men that Bell county can well bost ot
and especially can Holland be proud
of them, as well as mauy other just
such men I could mention, but in jus-
tice to you I will not ssk any more
space. I now ask you why not our

don me for making public m; uiion of

Tbo recent rams put out plenty of

Oats aro looking well, and wo aro
proud to sco so many; everybody has

Horses and cattle look very well
considering the winter we had aud it
now being, they like people, have bad
blood and appetito, and consequently
look at their worst. Most poultry
are thriving at present,hogs arc doing
as well as can be expected.

clerk, paid Seaton a visit a short tune
since.
Mrs. E. F. May returned 1 Intraday
from Temple, fvhero she has been at-

Uncle lleubin tries to poke fun at
Seaton; he said fce sent out a party to
find where it was. We remember
seeing a crowd of country bucks pa-
radiug the streo’s a few weeks ago,
who claimeu t » bo Ilaggerl)’s kin

per at an early day; tho editorial staff

Will Uncle lteubln please tell us
where Jones’ gin is? We have looked
lor it, but nevor could find it; we
have nover seen any one that had been
there. Mr. Baggerly says he lias
hunted rabbits all along the classic
baui s of that mat*.stic stream, known
as Littlo Elm, and he had never secu
anything that lookod like Jones’ gin.
Seaton is going to build a railroad

Claims In Congress.
Nothing is more difficult than to
push through congress the most just
claim against Unde Sam. If recom
mended favorably by committee, the
chances are against its ever reaching
consideration by the house. Sup-
posing that it passes the house, it
must have the approval of the senate
and the president's signature. If the
latter bo lacking the claimant must
begin at the beginning again in the
next congress as if he had never taken
a step before. Much of the labor in-
cidental to the settlement of claim*
under existing laws is caused by
claim agents. Many of them are not
very reputable jiersons. They send
circulars broadcast to the unin-
formed, suggesting that the latter
aro entitled to money from the treas-
ury.
By way of fee for looking into the
matter, they demand two dollars or
three dolhu'8 in advance, with the as-
surance that nothing further will be
demanded unless the daim is al-
lowed. Having got the fee, their in-
terest ceases in the daim, which is iu
due course disallowed. Meanwhile
they send out more circulars solids
ing victims. Consequently, more
than fiO per cent, of all claims are de-
void of merit. ^Washington Letter.

The Cliff Dweller* of Colorado.
Charlie Tuttle has visited the
homes of tho cliff dwellers in the
Colorado canyon. The walls of
rooms dug iu the rock were plastered
by hand, and the marks of the hands
are still plainly seen. They were
evidently very small people.
In front of oach cave dwelling
wore broken cooking utensils. Ac-
cording to Indian tradition, these
people poisoned tho fish in Colorado,
causing many Indians to die; hence
the Indians slaughtered them. The
party reached the caves by means of

dition says these cliff dwellers were
exterminated six centuries ago. -Ful-

"High toned” is an expressive

Similar to it are "upper ten” and

contracted from “upper ten thou
