OUANAH'S PROSPECT.

The Panhandle country is in fine shape,
and when one asks about the outlook there
are no ifs or butts in the answer. Judge J.
J. Combs Of Quanah was down yesterday
on business connected with that towns i'm
provement and he became almost enthusias-
tic on the prospect.
Wheat" he said, twas never finer and
unless something extraordinary happens
the yield viii be immense I'm sure
Quanah will ship over 4 million bushels
this season, and think the amount viii
reach million and half. This will come
principally from Hardeman and Greer coun-
ties, with some from Cottle county. The
country is i'll the best condition in which it
has ever been and everybody is feeling well
over the prospect. | was at one time q little
afraid of the cold spell but it left the small
grain in splendid shape and the fruit was
comparatively uninjured."
by the way said the Judge, i noticed
a clipping from the Carson County Chroni-
Gle which stated that the largest farm in
the Panhandle contained 1913 acres. but il
Hardeman is included in the Panhandle it
is Il mistake for there is farmer near our
town who has 1900 acres in wheat and rs
much in oats, while the farmers who are
culcivating two sections are numerous"
I'VE had i fire up there the other night, "
continued Judge Combs, which burned
out hotel and would have done serious
damage if there had been any wind"
Then the damage was not SeriOus2'
Not except for the immediate loss"
said the Judge, 'for it will be replaced by q
fine business block and it viii leave good
business for the other hotels of which there
are plenty now. The new hotel which was
opened on March !, has been doing paying
business from the start, and travellers who
formerly planned to avoid Quanah now are
anxious to stop over there.
The cement works that were spoken
of They are coming out all right. The
only hitch was in getting satisfactory rates
with the railway company, and we received
q letter from Prescott of the Kansas end
OF the company saying that satisfactory ar
rangements had been effected and the
cement works will be put in right away.
The company will employ 200 men"
"A company has been organized among
local capitalists" the judge went on, for
the purpose Of putting in waterworks, an
electric light plant and an ice factory. In
case of fire like that Of the other night
waterworkS are necessary. 1t was only by
the merest chance that the fire was con-
trolled. The ice factory will probably
be j fifteen-ton plant and the electric lights
will number about 400. This plant is going
through all right"
Judge Combs is a man who leaves an i'm
preston that what he says is pure facts di-
vested OF all boom trimmings. What he
says of the town and section leads one to
think that the waterwOrkS and electric
light plant is not the end Of Quanah's con-
templated improvements.

TERRELL, TEX, April THE great SEN
sational event has At last come to focus
and subsidized. We mean the matter con-
uected with the death OF Mr.. MIN Burgett,

morning accompanied by Mrs. Burgett and
another lady. The GAZETTE correspondent,
the undertaken and Mr. Mr.. Myers secured
a conveyance and went togeth to the asy-

in a vault at least four feet from the earths

being opened Mr.. Myers readily identified
the corpse Us that Of Mr.. MIN Burgett.
The projected front teeth, shape of face,
loss of one front tooth, shape of fore finger
OF right hand and general appearance en-
abled him to readily identify Mr.. Burgett,
whom he knew so well. In addition to
these facts the body was found intact,
bearing no signs Of post mortem, though
months. The grave showed no signs Of
ever having been interfered with in the
least The following statement was handed
DR.. Preston by Mr. Myers:

much aggrieved over the matter, and justly
so, for the reports that have been made to
him were very bad indeed. When he found
his comrade intact, though in death, he was
much relieved. He was reasonable in all
his requirements, and every body was in
deep sympathy with him as well as Mrs.
Burgett.
The body was taken in charge by Mr.
Myers and on the 8 p. II. Texas and Pacific

CHAPTER. Y

Thinkers Reach. as most people know,
is a very popular summer resort on the
Atlantic seacoast. Ii possesses the adj
vantages both of the ocean and the coun-
try. There are beautiful drives in its
vicinity varegated by mountain peaks,
ponds almost large enough to be classed
as lakes, and extensive woods where one
or more readily two-may be lost with
ease On the other hand, the harbor Is
adapted TO all sorts Of craft, from the
two hundred ton yacht to the bark
canoe; and for those who prefer looking
at the waves TO riding over them there
are superb rocks to sit upon and clam
Der over, which abound in eyries for the
retiring and caves for the curious. Alto
gether it is delightful place.
1t takes its name, not as might be sup
posed from one of the aborigines, but
from a small variety of mackerel known
to fishermen as thinkers, which used to
be seined off the main headland in large
quantities. Originally primitive settle
ment, fashionable patronage had dotted
the shore with large hotels and snowy
villas, which at this period were less
numerous than at present

which she disapproved while enjoying

Besides, | was not without hopes of Win
