Local and Business Briefs.

Correspondence OF the Gazette
Abilene, April I've have had
long dry SPELL relieved only OCCASION
ally by light shower, insufficient tc
do more than brighten the green OF
the grass which ia now beginning tc
beautify the whole face of our Western
country. This is indeed a lovely coun-
try when it has donned its garb OF
/ green. The monotony of smo0thneSs
which characterize the prairie por-
tions OF parts OF the state is here
| relieved by many verdant hills and
valleys of unsurpassed loveliness, rs
well as by beautiful little range of
mountains few miles to the south.
If we but had a little more rain and n
little less dust, we might well claim to
have the choice spot of this great state
for a town. The stock In places are
now suffering from scarcity of water.
1t Is raining little now, bat the
clouds are light and the rain will be
sufficient only to lay the dust.
Things are Frightening up In bust
ness circles little, and IL may be said
that the dull season Is past. Some
wool has been marketed, and brought
fair prices. Sheepmen are having nice
weather for the lamb season, and nj
most all report that a la re percentage
of the lambs are beng saved. The
question Is, what's to be done with
this increase of fiocks and
herds. Already more stock has been
crowded into this section than the
grass will sustain, considering that the
prairie dog must be supported. IL
seems that either the stock or the
prairie dog must go" from this part
Of the state. Many Of the cattlemen
seem to be ready to yield to the latter,
and are preparing for exodus. This
animal is certainly the greatest |
nuisance In this part of the state, and |
consumes more Of the "children's
grass" than the free range men.
A very good average of wheat and |
'ther grains has been sowed and bids
air to make good crops. Much grass
md sheep feed will be produced for
he winter use. The experiments of
in this section have thus far
zen encouraging, especially TO these
