BLUFF DALE.
Lying along serpentine hill on the east
and south and nestled close to II, lies the
beautiful town of Bluff Dale An infant in
age. being only between two and three
years old, it is, however, coming rapidly to
the front. 1t is just about seventeen miles
a little southwest OF Granbury, on the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande railroad II is sit
uated IN the rich Paluxy valley and forms
stretch out from Bluff Dale IN different d.
rections, making the country around and
tributary to 1t one exceptionally rich and
desirable. ClimCIe-The climate is bracing
and salubrious. Several persons who were
feeble in health when they first settled
here are now robust Water-We have
two kinds. First, surface water, easily OBJ
tanned at depth OF from thirty-ive TO
seventy-fve feet 1t is chiefly composed of
lime, but very pleasant to the taste and de-
hghuully cool and refreshing Secondly.
we have what is called artesian water. This
IS very pleasant 20 drink, quite wholesome,
but not as cool as the surface water
Churches-We have, as yet, but one church
building. This belongs to the Methodist
Episcopal church. South. Some talk of
Baptist church being built in the future.
Hope it will be done. Schools-We have
one good, flourishing school called Bluff
Dale high school. In this Institution there
have been actually enrolled in school this
session, although not in daily attendance,
lO7 pupils. Oh! how Bluff Dale needs a
comfortable, commodious school building.
Let US by all means have one built by the |
opening of another school year. If that is |
lmpracticable, by all that is sacred and |
dear, by all the tender ties that bind you to |
your children, by the sacred debt you owe |
your posterity, let the writer conjure you,
The people of Bluff Dale, to utilize the cell |
ng lumber that has been stored away in
The loft of the old school house for several
years and enlarge the old house and make
t comfortable and beautify it. And above
III, let the writer entreat you to incorporate
his very year for school purposes. Sup
Element the school fund and run your |
chool for nine or ten months. Do these
wo things and your posterity will rise up
nd bless you.

A fine rain fell last night to the great de-
light of the farmers, stockmen, Hogg men
Clark men and especially the Lanham men,
who are very numerous here. Our Western
country is now on the nigh road to pros
perity, provided our law makers will be
guided by wisdom and prudence. We all say
let the ubiquitous alien land law rest where
1t is in its little grave. Let Chiffon as a
matter of Justice serve out Reagan's unex-
pred time. Give US Hill for president and
Sam Lanham for governor and the people
will be happy. Mrs. A. G. Patty and chill
dren of Abilene, was visiting the family of
r. P. Patty recently. Andy Young of
Coleman, the well-known cattleman was in
