The Law of Notice*
Robbery_
Rocky Point, January 4.—Editor
Empire: You struck the nail-on the
btffJ in last week’s Empire in regard
to a change in the law to require
■heriffs and administrators to adver
tise all real estate public sales in the
county paper. It would be a good
move, and one in the right direction,
>pe your
subject will raise a cyclone among
your valuable correspondents and
impel them to push the good work
to the front, for no sane member of
the legislature could nay that a cor-
respondent of a county paper could
expect to get any money for men-
tioning this matter. I know whereof
I speak when I say a change in the
law on this point is badly needed.
I remember well on one occasion
when I was working as deputy
sheriff under the honorable Sheriff
Shands that it became a part of my
duty to sell at the court house, in the
town of Stephenville, at public out
cry, five tracts of land, including
some village bouses and lots, and
believe me, kind readers, when I say
that but four bidders appeared at
tbe sale, and they were real estate
agents and wholesale land men.
Perhaps one home seeker out of
five hundred that come to Erath
connt-y to buy land will read a slier
ifTs advertisement on the bulletin
board in your county town, while
it is invariable read by the laud
sharks aud real estate agents. A
man can be sued for debt, have a
citation served on him in district
court, the court grants a decree to
sell the land, the sheriff advertises
it and places the advertisements or
the bulletin boards, the day of sale
comes, the land is sold for a song,
and a man's door neighbors don't
know the land has been sold. When
if advertised in the Empire it would
come under the eyes of three-fourths
of the intelligent people of the
county. I hope your spicy corres-
pondents of Chalk Mountain and
Bluff Dale will toss in a hot brick
on this subject in their next letter
Mr. John Perry and Miss Minnie
Coen were married a few days since.
Mr. Ralph Adams is quite sick
with an abscess iu his side.
Mr. Davis Doyle is quite sick,
which results in tbe dosing of tbe

nite time.

with at least
write this hoping to call the at-
tention of our citizens to this grave
question and that someone will sug-
gest a plan that will bring us ont of
this fearful dilemma before it is too
late. Remember when a road bed is
once fenced-it is a hard struggle to
get it back. Hoping some one will
give us a remedy, I remain yours
for tbe right.

Our burg is situated on the Fort
Worth & Rio Grande railroad, nine
miles from Stephenville and six
miles west from Biuff Dale, amidst
the hills and valleys along the beau-
tiful and fertile South Paluxy.
Surrounded by beautiful and well
improved farms, with as happy and
contented farmers as can be found
in the county.
The postoffice here gives us
connection with the outside world.
Our obliging postmaster, Mr. G. W.
Truitt, and bis obliging assistant,
Mr. Ben F. Smith, seem to do all
they can to oblige and accommodate
their patrons.
We have a good school, with Miss
Dora Tankersieyos teacher. Every
body is well pleased with the school.
Sabbath school and sioging every
Sunday, and praycrruee^ing every
Wednesd ly night.
• The P. O. gave us an excellent
sermon last Sunday at 3 p. m. Every
one enjoyed the services.
Mr. E. G. Acrey aud F. S. Smith
are engaged in the grocery business
aud are doing well. We need a good
dry goods store and a good church
house, and then we would begin to
move on in tbe road of prosperity.
Our farmers are beginning to pre-
pare for another crop.
Wheat is looking well, though the
acreage is small.
We canuot pass without saying
that the ladies of this community
are as beautiful as any to be found,
and a 'e contented and happy. Our
young ladies are rather above the
average for business, and as sweet
as s weet can be. We b l.eve we can
prove this by a handsome young
man from S.epbenville, as he is seen
in our midst almost every S inday.
If this escapes that dreadiul old
basket that sits with its mouth wide
open under the editor s table, we
will come again.
May the Empire, Acrey and old
Erath have success and move ou to-
gether prosperous, is our desire.

ideas, based usually npon their own ex-

the general practices. In instance may-
be cited Mr. Heddon's plan of transfer-

to the old method. He drives the queen i

puts in its place a hive with its frames

that all field workers will leave the old

return a part of the bees to the old hive
for fear that the brood will get chilled,
being careful not to take the qneen!
