to his claim near Alva last week.

Black Polled calves last week that cost

BERTHE Fullerton had to quit her

duty.
Avis Kincaid has about decided to
locate at Erwin. He is down there
viewing the land over before he fully
decides on what to do.
A. J. Hargis Will ship out 8 cars of
his stock this week and if he don't get
the top price for most of them we are
golng to miss our guess.
ID. .. Edwards will ship out so head
of fat steers this week. They were put
on full feed very early and are in fine
condition for the market.
R. W. Fullerton will ship out several
cars of fat cattle this week. He has
had them on full feed for a good spell
and they are ready for the market.
John King sold Uncle David Clough
two of his pure bred short horn cows
last week for $500. This is the best
sale made here by any of our cattlemen.
Talk about mild winter. A few
days ago Jim Little dehorned some of
his cattle and it has been so warm that
screw worms have got in some of their
heads.
Saturday the teams were 80 think in
HaZeltOn that there was some talk of
sending some of them oyer to Corwin
to find room to hitch, as our hitchracks
were all full.
A. H. Callison was in the city Satur-
day evening. He informed US that his
brother Abe was not going to move to
Missouri, that he had traded his Mis-
souri, land off and would continue to do
business in Barber.
Roy Orton was up from Driftwood
the first of the week looking after his
fathers farm and while here he sold it
to D. NJ. Circle for Sl4OO. Dunk surely
got a bargain when he bought it.
Walter and Edgar Faucet sold their
fat steers last week, about 40 in mum.
Der, to D. Jackson. We did not learn
the price paid but are informed that 1T
was away up toward the top for that
class of cattle.
M. l.. Klink has resigned his position
at the postoffice and is taking a rest
preparatory to arrange to engage in bus
mess on his own account. He has not
yet fully decided where he will locate.
His many friends would be pleased
to have him remain here.
T. G. Bridge and w. j. Norwood have
returned from their trip to Colorado,
where they went to view the promised
land. Neither of them seem to be smit-
ten with the country, and appear to be
satisfied to stay with old Barber little
while longer. Doubtless wise decis.
ion.
Cattle, hog and mule buyers were so
thick here last week that we just gave
up the idea of trying to keep track of
them. Quite lot of cattle changed
hands and so far as we know, at good
prices. Also quite a number of good
mules(if mules ever get to be good were
sold at good prices. Billie Johnson and
j. T. Spicer handled the mule market.
j. W. Gass was up from Driftwood
last week looking for good location.
He has an offer for his farm and the
price is such that he thinks he can get
double the number of acres in this To-
cality for what his farm will bring, and
being one of our former citizens knows
that our land is just as good as that in
Oklahoma.
Frank Longworth has for several
years wore the belt for having scooped
in and out OF the wagon In one day OF
ten hours 1895 bushels Of wheat, an av-
erage of 299 bushels per hour, but one
day last week Harry Hardin knocked
him clear off the dump and went him
several better. He made an average OF
! $50 bushels per hour. but did not keep
! it up quite so long as Frank. But Harry
had corn instead OF wheat which is not
quite so heavy and would give him q
little advantage.
