A Big Cattle Ranch.

SHREVEPORT, Dec. II. "A wealthy
and prominent ranch owner of Okla
homs informed the Times Democrat
correspondent to-day that be had just
made a purchase of 5000 acres OF land
situated about ten miles south of this
city on the Kansas City, Shreveport
and Gulf road. The property will be
Immediately converted into a cattle
ranch. Beef cattle and fine stock of
all descriptions will be raised on this
ranch. He stated that there are
thousands Of acres of swamp and lake
lands in this section of the State,
which. if properly drained and looked
after, would make good cattle farms.
It is notable fact that a number of
the planters in this vicinity have
avowed their intention of raising no
cotton next year, owing to the low
price at which that staple is sold in
the markets, and are making ar
engagements to convert their planta.
lions into cattle ranches. They claim
that the raising OF beef cattle is a
profitable business, while the cultiva-
ton of cotton at present prices
affords them but scant living

Dentistry Without Pain.

1 have at last solved the problem of
preparing teeth for filing with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, l also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.
