Capt. Chprry and Arthur O.
Bryan have tight acres of wheat
which is now jointing, and it will
be ready to cut by May.
Wheat and oats in all parts of
Erath county are said to be in un-
usually fine condition.
Good showers of rain fell in the
country around Stepbenville, com-
mencing early Tuesday, March 14.
Some oue lost quite a wad of
money in the city last week.

P. F. Carter of Johnsville is well
satisfied that a fine crop will be
made in Erath county this year.
Present prospects are very flat-
tering.
Elder Nichols officiated on Mar.
10 at the funeral df Payne Otis,
six years old, son <^f Mr. and Mrs.
Preston Box, who died March 9,
and was interred at West End.
Mrs. J. J. Davis and Don King’s
daughter went to Fort Worth Mon-
day on a 10 days’visit with friends.
J. S. Little had a hole in his
watch pocket, and lost the watch,
and a widow woman picked it up.
Now while J. S. is not a bad look-
ing man by good a deal, yet he is
not “watching” out for his op-
portunities as he should. Needles
are cheap, and there are no doubt
numbers of widows and old maids
who would like to use them on the
togs of men like Mr. Little.
There is really rfo excuse for a
man of such prim, precise habits
as Mr. Little losing a watch—or
anything else.
Jofifl^Birdwell of Oakdale; Judge
M. J. Thompson and O. T Cline,
agd Mr. and Mrs! Pelfry went to

Fat Stock show at Fort Worth.
Col. John Collier, who spent
several weeks at Marlin, has re-
turned. The trip did not do him
much good.
John Bowers, delegate from W.
O. W. lodge at Huckabay, went to
the Mineral Wells convention
Sunday.
Dolph Penniger of Balmorrbea
is in the city. He is suffering
from a severe attack of rheuma-
tism.
Olin Cameron has returned from
Marlin. He bathed and drank the
waters of that famous resort, and
was restored to health.
President A. W. Young, of
Thorp Springs Christian college
will preach at the Church of Christ,
Sunday, at 11 a.m., and at night.
Morning subject, “Tne Relation of
Christians to the Governments of
the World/’ Night supject,
“What is a Christian?”
I. A- Griffith writes from
Abilene stating that his section is
in splendid shape, and further adds
that he cannot afford to miss the
weekly visits of the Tribune.
The Dublin Telephone says that
considerable excitement was creat-
ed on R.2 by the discovery of
mineral which is supposed to be
either zinc or silver. Experienced
miners from Tburber and Oklahoma
have examined the ore, and gave
it as their opinion that the find
will prove valuable. The experts
secured an option from J.W. Little
for a handsome consideration.
While testing the machinery
and making the preliminary run
at the new ice cream freezer at
Dublin, J. W. Hickman got his
left hand canght in the cogs and
the last three fingers on the hand
bad to be amputated.

Me. Creswell returned Monday
from a prospecting tour in Okla-
homa.
Mrs. W. N. Wallace and her
daughter Kathleen returned Mon-
day from Washington county.
Miss Kathleen is a musical artist,
and nature has bestowed many
personal charms, so it is no wonder
she made so many friends while on
this visit.
Twenty-five years ago Charley
Barnes and Henry Gilbreath parted
company in this city rs school
boys, Charley drifting out into the
big world, and in the big cities
gaining knowledge of electricity,
and storing up all kinds of useful
information. John Gilbreath, son
of former Sheriff Gilbreath,buckled
down to hard work, and fortqne
has smiled on his efforts, for he is
now the owner of two good farms,
a family, and other accessories
which go toward the make up of
the successful man. The two boys
met in Stephenville Sunday and
lived over again their school-boy
days, even into the hunting up the
places where they engaged in the
fascinating and ■ exciting games of
mumble peg.
In 1$96 Easter Sunday was very
cold, and every thing froze solid,
and this was followed by a heavy
frost. J. R. Ellis says he was sure
all the fruit was destroyed, and he
so expressed himself to Capt. Jim
Cage. This gentleman said to Mr.
Ellis, “who ever heard of a March

Ross Wright, 10 years old, in
company with W. M. Conatser’s
children, Thursday afternoon,
March 16, were driving some
horses into a lot, when one of them
jumped over the Wright boy. The
boy was knocked down, stunned,
and remained unconscious perhaps
for 30 minutes. Dr. Naylor was
at once called, found no bones
broken,, or other injuries, save
what was caused by a severe shock.
At first it was thought the boy
bad been killed.
J. T. Kimbrough of Thurber
visited in Stephenville* Monday.
He has been making Thurber his
home for many years.
Harve Keith has returned frditt
Paul’s Valley, Oklahoma.

Delegates from farmers’ anions of
Erath, Hamilton and Comanche
counties met at Dublin recently
for the purpose of locating for the
next five years the place of holding
the Central West Texas Farmers’
Union fair. The matter was re-
ferred to the commerical club,
which accepted the proposition
submitted by the union members,
and a committee was appointed to
canvas the town to raise means to
provide grounds and suitable
J. H. Jordan was in ftW city
Monday enruute to the northern
portion of the county where he will
do some government demon-
stration work for the benefit of the
boys’ corn club. The govern-
ment has employed him because he
is a practical farmer, and given
buildings for the fair. It is likely
that all requirements asked of
Dublin will be cheerfully met. *

him all the territory south of the
Frisco railroad, and also all of
Hamilton county. He will deliver
lectures, distribute literature, and
do all he can to get farmers to
adopt farming methods that will
increase the yield of crops. In
Harrisou county the former yield
of corn was from 10 to 12 bushels.
Farmers adopted modern, scien-
tific methods and the yield is now
from 35 to 40 bushels. Mr. Jordan
wants to show farmer* that thl
same thing is possible in Erath
county. He belltvw our soil) are
capable of a much larger yield Of
corn than they are now yielding If
modern methods are adopted.
Scientific men have studied these
questions, and progressive farmers
