city aud her fine schools they expect TO
make Wichita their future home. while

ranchinG country, and will continue the
business, having about 5000 cattle there on
the range for this winter, he prefers Wich-
tia a. a home for his family. Mr.. Garland
has located his family at ll45 North En-
pora avenue for the winter. and will pro-
coed to the Pan Handle OF Texas To stock
his large pasture cattle for the winter
preparatory to taking them to his Dakota
ranch in the spring. Mr.. Garland has

How Crops, Money and Politics Are Going in
Wichita County.

Z. f. Grimes OF ieoti. Wichita county.
the Republican nominee Tor representa-
tive, is in the city attending the United
States district court. When asked about
the condition of the county financially,
poll callv aud otherwise, ne said:
Some of our people have enough wheat
TO seed and bread them, and enough rough
ness TO winter their stock, but a great
many of our people are very hard run and
will not be able 20 SOW much wheat this
fall. a year ago We raised nothing and
this year again we might as well say We
raised nothing, although there WAS some
wheat raised, but the yield was so small
that il cost more TO cut and rdresh 1t than
what We could buy II for. On account Of
these failures the most of our farmers will
be unable 20 meet their obligations this
wear. but they are honest anu deserve TO
be dealt with leniently. There are at least
two Popu lists that have LETT our county
for every Republican. am Speaking Of
Wichita county only, and belisve what
is true OF our county is true Of the other
western counties.
