"An empty wagon makes more noise

Any white man who goes to color

Correspondence of the Gazette. /
QUANAH, Tex, Sept. 9.-Your CLERK
at this place has been waiting for itSfo
rain before writing a letter, but as the
good things of the earth are crowdinSln
on us so fast, [ Will have to let the dry
weather last awhile and tell of Quanah SD
growth. E. L. Aiken, contractor, broke
ground this morning for three large two
story rock stores on Johnson street, and
will commence two more shortly. rms
makes nine rock buildings under head
way now, and at least thirty residences
are being built. The lumber yards,
three in number. can t keep supply OF
buiIding material on hand to fill the calls.
There are new enterprises being added
every day; last week two livery stables,
two new lumber yards, one bakery, and
still there is room for every kind Of bust
ness. Our streets are daily crowded with
DeopIe from Greer and Knox, CotLle and
Childress counties, and even far away
Crosby and Dickens counties add their
wealth to ours in trade. One day last
week over sixty Greer county wagons
were loaded with lumber, wire, corn,
groceries, etc. We need rOckmasons,
carpenters and laborers badly. Six or
ten good rockmasons can find steady
work here. Laborers of all kinds
are in demand. Our hotels are crowded
| with land buyers. We are not booming,
but simply getting the ''kinks' straight
! ened out. Three years successive crops
! as ours have been, with the finest climate
| on earth and cheap lands, are the princi-
! pal causes.
The Quanah Quirt, published by the
! Ouanah publishing company, will make
its appearance on Friday next, and prom
ises to have large and healthy support,
Mr.. Ballard Of Granbury in charge. we
| wish the new enterprise success and hope
that its life may be long and useful.
Our First national bank will open for
business temporarily in one Of the frame
| business houses until its own building IS
completed. It will be two-story rock.
Lands are selling freely now, as the
! Houston and Texas Central railway have
placed their immense body of lands IN
this county on the market at from four
to eight dollars per acre, and they are
selling like hot cakes.
A large acreage OF grain will be planted
this fall, and with only an average year
our export of wheat will be very large
next year. We are needing rain at pres
ent, but, from indications, before TINS
gets to press, we will be supplied.
Investors would do we'll to visit QuanaE
and Hardeman county. as there are bar
gains both IN land and lots. az

what they want to kill and sell it without
question or hindrance from any one.
A few days ago Mr.. Theodore Ray OF
Midland county walked into Beggs &
Hackett' s Office and asked If they could
sell lot of beef steers for him.
ono sir, - SAID Mr.. Beggs, there IS
no market here for steers; butchers are
not killing anything but cows.
This is the case. The lowest price
cattle are slaughtered III Fort Worth,
and in fact all Texas cattle, and the
meat Is sold over the block for but little,
if any less, than the meat from choice
cattle was sold in 1892, when beef cattle
were at the highest price.

Fine Stool, Feels the Depression.

Fine stock breeders have also felt the
strong hand of depression, and adopted
methods that will eventually be Of great
benefit to the herds of the country. AS
n rule all the grades and inferior full
bloods have been weeded out and sent to
the shambles-and in other years the
purchase of fine looking grades by the
West was misleading, and q disappoint-
ment when results were reckoned. In the
next run wen get good cattle that will
show good calves.
