A Big PFofit.

One Of the most noteworthy
transactions that has cen this year
and one that clearly exemplifies the
rapid and remarkable advance that
has taken place in cattle values, is
the double sale of the well known
McCutcheon Bros. ranch and stock
in Jeff Davis county. This prop
erty, consisting of 10000 head of
stock cattle and the leasehold of
100000 acres of land, together with
the ranch improvements, was sold
last June by McCutcheon Bros to-
Gibson e. Parkinson of Waggoner,
1. IT,, they agreeing to pay S12 per
head for the stock and $4,000 for
the ranch and Improvements, and
posting $4,000 to bind the trade
until the delivery of the cattle,
which was to be made this month.
In the meantime prices have been
advancing with leaps and bounds
and the purchasers have just con-
summated II sale of this property of
which they have never obtained
possession and have only owned
four months, to w. T. McCampbellr
the we'll known stoekman of Ber-
clair, Goliad county. Delivery ON
the first transaction was just i'm
progress when the second sale was
consummated, and now the new
purchaser, Mr.. NIcCampbell, will
finish receiving. The price paid
on the last sale is the same con-
sideration for the ranch ropertyp
$4,000, and $14 per head for tha
stock, representing an advance Of
above - per head on the stock and
a net profit of $4,000 on the trade
in four months time San Antonio

When the heart ot nature and hearts of men
Rejoice In the earth grown young again.

We think OF Thanksgiving In growing time;
In the time OF flowers. aud the vintage

When the palms OF the years strong hands
are filled -
with fruiiasC. with grain. and with sweets
distilled. 49,
when the dream vt hope Is q truth subiime,
Then our hearts make rOom FOR tue thanhtul

We think uf Thanksgiving In harvest time:
In the yielding. gathering. golden time;
When the sky IL frnged with hnzy mist.
And tue biuShing naples by frost lips Kissed
When the barns are full with the harvest
cheer.
Aud the crowning. thankful day draws near.
