The swallows recently made their annual
appearance in the Judith valley, and are
now industriously at work building nests
and breeding bedbugs. Their advent this
season has been a little lato, but, mind you
mud has been extremely scarce.
T. A. Sloan. who has been out among the
ranchmen in the interest of the mill pro
iect, returned home last Sunday. He added
several hundred dollars in cash and wheat
to his list. The total amount now sub
scribed reaches in the neighborhood of
$1,000, with good prospects of reaching
$500, which will be more than sufficient to
guarantee the mill. Mr.. jackson returned
home first of the week, and set the price on
his mill property at $1,000. Although this
figure seems a little high, we do not think
it will cause delay in the deal.
