COTTON ACREAGE REDUCED
At Green's Pralrie--Description
OF the Prairie, and News
Notes.

Mr.. Editorials / haven't seer
anything from our little commu
nifty, | shall endeavor to give yor
a few dots.
Corn is up and looking we'll.
don't think there will be a. much
cotton planted in our neighborhood
this year as there was last.
think our people are beginning ia
realize that there is more to be
made by raising as much Of wha,
they eat as possible. Messrs. j.
NJ. Williams, Geo. Williams and
W. 5. Dixon each have fenced IN a
hog pasture. More hogs means
more corn, bacon and lard and less
cotton.
| guess it would be we'll TO give
your readers a description of our
community. 1t is situated II miles
south of Bryan; 2 miles east OF
Wellborn. There are only eight
families or the prairie, so you will
see there aren't enough people here
yet TO have churches and schools.
We all send our children to the
Wellborn school. There is also
preaching at Wellborn on 2nd and
4th Sundays in each month and if
our people don't 60 it is our own
fault. We have splendid stock
range through spring and summer.
The health of our neighborhood
is generally good, but at this writ
ing there is some sickness, such as
lagrippe, roseola and colds.
Ne are glad to note that Miss
Bernice Goodyear is able TO be
among her friends and neighbors
again after having a severe attack
of roseola.
Miss Bessie Combest has return.

NEWLY CREATED
 CARDINALS

Only two of the twelve neiwly created cardinals belong to the mobility, name Y, Mgr. Del Drago, and the Nuncio at Madrid. The latter, Mgr. Maya de Bon life, is a Siciiian baron and cousin of the cardinal secretary of state, while Cardinal Del Drago is Roman patri- elan, and a marquis. He belongs to that old Roman aristccracy known as the "Conscript Roman Patriciate," :" which in the sixteenth century was in scribed in the Golden Book of the Eter- nal City, only these families being in cIuded in the volume which already at that time could show 200 years of no bIe descent free frcm any plebeian strain. The mother of the new cardi- nal was a member of the illustrious Barberini family, to which Urban VIII and other Roman pontiffs have be- Ionged. He formed part of the house hold cf Plus TX, but was relegated to the background by Leo XIII as soon as he asceEded the throne. Nor Is 1t likely that he would have been pro noted had 1t not been for the infu
 ence exercised on his behalf by the patrician houses of Rome, which. un- til his elevation to the purple. were without representation in the sacred college He is very rich, and has an nounced his intention of dispensing with lis salary of s1O0O0. payable by the Vatican treasury to the cardinals of the curia resident at Rome.
 Cardinal Cassetta is the son Of a Ro- man ,aboring man. who, beginning life as a carpenter, died as multi-million- aire contractor, leaving his entire for tune to his only son. Cardinal Cassetta has been until no wthe chief almoner and treasurer of the Holy Father.

UNCLE SAM HIS OWN sTATIoNER.

|'The department of justice runs one of the biggest stationery concerns in the country" said a clerk of that de partment to a reporter. We have to do that tC supply he various officials of the department throughout the coun- try. Not many years ago our station cry bureau vas used solely fer the benefit of this immediate department. Judges, clerks of courts, marshaIs and other officials throughout the country purchased their supplies from stores in their cities and towns and sent us the accounts to pay. By this method we paid the retail price for everything.
 We found this would not do, as the highest prices were paid for every lining. Under cur present system every official of the government coming un- der our department makes requisition on Us for supplies, ard we send them at little cost most of the time by mail. As we buy everything at cost prices we save to the government thousands of dlOlalrs each year over the cid method of doing business.
 We carry 9 stock worth at least $6,000 at all times, and all the judges. marsha1s, clerks and others send to us for their pencils, writing paper. etc It's funny, toe, what strange fancies some Of them have. For instance, there is Q certain western judge who won't have anything elea but q red pencil which is peeled off when it is SharPened We carry this pencil in stock for no other person, as not many others have taken a fancy to it. I suppose he l-ses or mfsplaces all the other kinds Of pen ciis, hut finds this one to his liking because he can easily see it. Right here in the District of Columbia is a judge who listens to arguments with six pen cils in his hands. He rolls these be- tween his fingers while he is busy and never has less than half a dozen. He Is not particular about the kind of pen cil he has. Other officials have peculiar ideas about the kinds of paper. pens and ink they want and they will have no other. Thus. you see. we carry q more varied assortment of goods than Q stationery store. e."-Washington Star.

A deal is on fcot to put in smelters and work these claims to their full capacity. Also to build a wagon road from Winslow to the mines this being the nearest and most accessible railroad point Such a road would te Q great benefit to cur town.

MINING NOTES.

Senator W. A. Clark returned to Butte the early part Of the week from a visit to Europe, having been absent about three months In speaking of the rumors connecting him with the copper trust the senator stated en- phatically that these rumors had no foundation in fact, and that he had no interest, present or prospective, in the Amalgamated company. He recog- nized no copper trust but said he knew, in a general way, of the consol- idat:on of certain copper interests in Montana, Michigan and Utah, also adding, "it goes without saying that my property is not in the combination, nor do I think it probable that any Ar:zona property will become a DOT tion of this copper organization" Sen asOr Clark considers the outlook for copper very bright, and at the same time he does not expect to see any or ganized effort on the part of copper producers to force the price up, for the reason that such action would initiate against the producers by restricting the consumption and stimulating the production. He is inclined to believe that the increasing demand would nat rlrally force the price of copper up somewhat.
