Bss1NEss men are often puzzled as
to the best method of advertisement
to adopt. A careful study of the
subject will show that newspaper
advertising is, in the long run, the
best and cheapest. This is SO be-
cause newspapers are more regularly
and effectively distributed, and more
likely to be read carefully.

follows from Holden concerning trip

ties:
a day was pleasantly spent with DR..
Bates, at Bates City. And, by the way,
his father was buried few days before
my visit To this place. The elder
Bates held II prominent place among
t he breeders of shorthorn cattle in Mis-
souri,, when shorthorns were at their
best in our stac. DIR. Bates has been
II breeder of fine stock since he was a
small boy, and latterly has leaned
strongly to the trotlcr. His fields are
large and fertile and standard pro-
ducers were To be seen in every drcc-
ton. DIR. Bates was the first person
in this state To take a regular course in
veterinary education. For some time he
held Il lucrative practice in Kansas City,
but by an accident Ia one of his limbs
he was compelled to relinquish his
practice and take up with the business
of breeding horses rather than doctor
inc them. He is much pleased with
the success attained by the Missouri
Breeders Association and is enthusias-
tic in the belief that Missouri will i'll
the near future be second to no state i'll

RANNABARGAR'S RIDE.
The "Intelligencer" Furnishes InfOr
nation for Il Texas Correspondent.

In its issue of July 18th, the Odessa
Democrat reprints IN article clipped
from the Houston (TeX.) Daily Post,
headed "A Famous Plainsman,'' and
signed by Charles Moreau Harger,
which is an almost exact reprint of an
article prepared for and printed in the
lNTELLIGENCER some months ago.
The article was written by member
of the lNTELLIGENCER's staff, who is
also the Lexington correspondent OF
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the
st. Louis paper was furnished with
much the same matter as was used ut
home. 1t is from this source, perhaps,
that Mr.. llarger gets his information,
and which the Democrat uses, COM
menting us follows:
The foregoing notice of our old
friend, who resides in the immediate
neighborhood of Odessa having fallen
into our hands, we sought an opportu-
nifty to get from his own lips, an ac-
count of the origin and history of the
celebrated pony express, which, un-
questionably, deserves II CONSPICUOUS
place in the history of our country.

of sunlight, and darkness reignrd
supreme. Groups of Texans began
collecting behind those t''lcs of pine
burrs. Squads of MisS"urians began
to assemble at the point where the
Texans had turned the morasS the
night before AT the same time anoth-
cr squad had repaired 10 where Il cross
ing had been laid over the morass
The Texans would attack at one point.
The MiSsourians would press forward
in two bodies, one meeting the Texan
center, the other taking il in flank.
The Texans had indomItable pluck.
The Missourians had equal pluck and
strategy.
The battle was soon closed. A thou
sand to fifteen hundred Texans came
sailing down the hill. As many Mis-
Sourians swept across the intervening
space, lcaping the brook at Il bound
to make the Texan campus the battle
ground. What u wild, lurid, grand
scene il was. The very birds perching
in the loftirst boughs of the majestic
pines fled screaming from the scene in
Albright. The owls too-hoo'ed in their
terror, and sped away in the ilickcring
light. lIowls, yells, scrccches, cheers,
and widest laughter made Il din never
heard in that wood before, possibly
never since.
The strategy of the Missourians gave
them an advantage from the start and
the Texans, though they battled never
so valiantly, were borne back towards
their camp. They made Il desperate stand
where they had piled their burrs, for
beyond that they would be out of ANU
milton. The MissmIrians knew this
fact, and with II rush cleared the
ground and supplied themselves from
the encmy's stores. The Texans
rallied, but the Missourians stood firm
Then they began to move forward
again, and in ten minutes more had
driven the "chubs,' as the Texans were
called, beyond their tents and had full
possession.
BY the ethics of camp war this was
victory for the Missourians and they
retired to their own camp to sleep in
their laurcls and nurse their sores.
From that night there was no warm,
er friendship anywhere than that
which existed between the men o
Ector's and Cockrcll's brigades.
