• On account of so much rain there is

Miss Ida Hawkins will teach a five
months term in elocution, beginning
with the school term, Sept. Kith. All
wishing to take lessons should give
M'ss I la their support, as it don’t cost
but $1 per month, and it is well known

satisfaction.
Mr. Joe Palmer and son, Birt, and
Mr. Ed Iloiton returned from Oklaho-
ma last Saturday. And still they
come. They find that the town of
Albany, in the county of Shackelford
and State of Texas cannot be excelled
by an Oklahoma boom. Texas beats
ail yet.
Work is now going forward on the
Methodist church. Their pastor has
been earnestly laboring to replace the
building for more than a year. The I
enterprise'is a worthy one and the new
church will add much to the town in
every way and he should have the co-
operation of every citizen in the town
and county.
^ Miss Ida Hawkins will be here Sep-
tember 13th to fill her position in the
school, and will also take a class in
elocution and teach as she did last
year. We are glad to know that Miss
Ida is coming back, and we know some
of the young men will ha ve a smile on

are the agents for these lands, and our
very efficient county surveyor, Mr.
Eaheart, has been appointed to survey
this land in 160 acre tracts, and they
will be sold to farmers.

Mess. Webb & Hill sold a few days
since the H. L. Washington stock of
horses to Mess. Nance & Meyer, This
is a pick bunch of horses, and Mess.
Nance & Meyer secured quite a bar-
gain. When it comes to leasing lands,
Mess. Webb & Hill have no equals, as
it is almost a daily occurrence for
them to lease some T. E. & L. Sur-
veys in this and other counties. They
have recently worked up for Mess. O.
J. Wood and E. P. Davis, oue of the
largest leases ever made in this section,
consisting of about 25,000 acres of
land in Throckmorton county, and
the said land belonged to about 75
diffdront persons scattered all over the
United States. The Surveys consist-
ed of 320 acres each, and nearly 80
surveys were obtained. They also
leased Mr. T. O. Sterrett 1920 acres.
Mess. Broyles & Dodson 1280 acres,
Mr. A. T. Baker 040tacres, Mr. A.
W. Duffy 640 acres, Mr. G. W. P.
Coates 2720 acres and many more
they could mention. Mess. Webb &
Hill state that they rent some, dwel-
ling in town almost every day ; • but
that they do not think that the renting
of a house is of sufficient importance
to regale the public with.
Mr. T. P. Savage from Alabama,
who was here a short time since, writes
Mess. Webb & Hill a long letter stat-
ing that he is much pleased with this
county, and is going to come here and
settle just as soon as he settles up his
business in Alabama. We will all
gladly welcome Mr. Savage, and we
need him badly to help build up the
county.
A Safe Investment.
Is one which is guaranteed to bring
you satisfactory results, or in ease of
failure a return of purchase price. On
this safe plan you can buy from our
advertised druggist a bottle of Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump-
tion. Itos guaranteed to bring relief
in every case, when used for an affec-
tion of throat, lungs or chest, such as
consumption, inflammation of lungs,
bronchitis, asthma, whooping-cough,
croup, etc. It is pleasant and agreea-
ble to taste, perfectly safe, and can al-
ways be relied upon. Trial bottle
free at all druggists’.
Let us give the readers of the News
a little timely advice. Hot weather
is coming and with it colie, cholera
morbus, dysentery and diarrhoea.
The only safe way to combat these
diseases, is to keep some reliable rem-
edy at hand, and all who have tried
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy will admit that it is
the most prompt, reliable and suc-
cessful medicine known for these com-
plaints. It costs but 25 or 50 cents,
and may be the means of saving you
or your family much suffering, if not
life itself, before the summer is over.
For sale by Marion E. Gooding.
Washington was never so dull as at
present. Everyone is out of town, and
even the departments are running
with about half their usual force of
employees. The dog days 1 are come
and the weather bureau dolefully fore-
casts much hotter weather.

A fine rain fell last Wednesday
night and another Sunday night. The
stockmen are looking forward to the
time that we will have good grass
again, and, the only fears we have
now are that it will rain so much that
the grass will rot.
Mr. Ground, our Hultown merchant,
tells us he is going to close out his
store and resign his position as post
master, and move to his farm about
three miles from town. While we
will not lose Mr. Ground, only as a
resident of Hulltown, we will lose our
store and postoffice and we can’t very
well get along without the postoffice
especially.
Prof. Fry has rented his place for
the next year and will start for Stone-
wall county in a few days. He an-
ticipates teaching, school there the
coming winter. We would be glad if
Prof. Fry would stay with us and teach
our school again, but perhaps the cit-
izens of Stonewall county know how
to appreciate a good teacher when
they get one.
The protracted meeting which com-
menced last Saturday night is prog-
ressing rapidly. Up to Monday night
there were three conversions, one re-
claimed and one addition from the
Baptist church. The indications are
that we will have an' interesting meet-
ing. Bro. DeSpain stands in the front
rank as a minister of the gospel, and
if lie can’t get up an interest in the
meeting no one else need try.

Messrs Dickinson & Adams have op-
ened their new meat market, and
and they will keep the fattest and
tenderest of meats—at the very low-
est prices. (24.

Mat McCabe, of New Brunswick,
111 , offers to pay five dollars'to any
person troubled with bloody flux, who
will take Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy according to
directions and does not get well in the
shortest possible time. One half of a
25 cent bottle of this remedy cured
him of bloody flux, after he had tried
other medicines and the prescriptions
of physicians without benefit. Mr.
McCabe is perfectly safe in making
this offer, as more than a thousand
bottles of this remenedy are sold each
and it has never been know to fail in
any ease of colic, cholera morbus, dys-
entery, diarrhoea or bloody flux, when
the plain printed directions were fol-
lowed for sale by M. Gooding.

While in conversation with one of
our most prominent attorneys, who is
also an old resident of Albany, he said
he had more bright hopes for Albany’s
future now than he has had for years
past and he seemed very sanguine that
she will be the most important town
in Northwest Texas. We are glad to
see our citizens have bright anticipa-
tions regarding the town, for when
such is the ease there is no danger of
it taking a back-set.
