Mr G. w. Hill has a Thoroughbred
bull, cow and calf for sale. He chal.
lenges comparison with any stock in
the west. This stock is registered and
is from the best animals ever brought
to this country one Of the cows having
sold for $35,OO0. We were given the
pedigree in full by Mr.. Hill, but not be-
ing familiar with the terms used defer
the publication thereof until some 9TH

Dame Rumor says that coal has been
discovered near Washington Springs,
The Old dame may be correct

this writing is: Is there enough in any
one place to make it profitable to work

that are responsible that quite large
deposits OF float coal have been found
and in two or three instances that they
have found coal in such quantities that
the veins will be worked just as soon
as the parties get a patent for the.
lands.
'Omer Shryock turned his mules ont

stalks; the animals felt pretty good and
started off on the run; one of them ran
against the barbed wire fence; the wire
striking. the animals shoulder, cutting

the bone. This breaks up the team
again just at a time when Omer ex-
pected to use them on the road. Sure
ly OmerEseems to have more than his
share Of misfortunes, but then the best
tree in the orchard is the one that gets
dubbed the hardest.
