Among Our Exchanges.

I
was in town on Tuesday looking uI
the best places to place some cattle
which he wishes to let out on the
shares. Mr.. Steele reports the gras:
finer and the cattle in better shape
here than any other place he ha:
seen-Hugoton Hermes.
Rev. J. M. Robinson preached
his farewell sermon in the Baptist
church Sunday evening. Mr.. Rob
inson and family move to Meade,
where they will make their home.
Their leaving is regretted by large
number of friends. Mr.. Robinson
is an earnest and successful preach
er, and he has built up a large con-
gregation at Meade.-Dodge City
Globe-Republican.
R. G. Newby, of southwest Gray
county, is enjoying visit from two
of his brothers, Elijah and Joseph
and the latter's wife, of Coles coun-
ty, Illinois. They came down from
Garden City Friday and we're met
here by Mr.. Newly. His broth er
Joseph he had not seen for IS years.
Elijah visited him in 1895. They
are all well pleased with our coun-
try.-Santa Fe Monitor.
The Hercules of Hugoton and the
Invincibles, of Meade, played ball
on the diamond south of town last
Thursday afternoon and Friday
morning, Both games were inter-
esting and some good plays were
made. Yet after the games were
over and Meade was declared vic
torious, the Hercules declared that
it was not their day, and the Irwin
cibles made it known that the two
days playing was the worst effort
they had made during the season.
Queer how base ball people talk,
anyway.-Liberal News.
The games of base ball, played at
Liberal last Thursday and Friday
between the Hercules of this place
and the Invincibles of Meade result
ed in defeat for the Hercules. The
playing was not as good as the pre-
vious games played by these clubs.
Neither side seemed to be able to
hold the score down and it amount
ed to IA to 1o the first day and 6 to
II the second, Meade winning both
games. The boys report . fine time
and lots of fun and say the enter
tainment furnished by the Liberal
boys was all that could be desired.

The recent grand jury returned
eleven indictments for grand lar
ceny-all cattle stealing cases. Dur
ing the year or two last past the
grand juries found few indictments.
Frequently the jurymen would get
into squabble over matters of min
or importance and accomplish moth
ing, but this year the grand jury
went after COW thieves, and it is to
be hoped that each indictment will
be followed by the conviction of the
defendant. And after the convic-
ton no man who owns a cow should
sign a petition for pardon. Ev-
cry ranchman should stand for the
conviction of a COW thief and insist
upon the maximum punishment for
the nse.-Guymon Herald.
Another epoch in the history of
the Baptist church will be finished
next Sunday when Rev. ]. M. Rob-
inson delivers his last sermon as
pastor of that organization. Rev.
Robinson has during his engage
ment with the Baptist people of
Dodge City been a faithful worker
and has used his every effort for the
good of the chuach and the cause he
represents, and in his going that
body loses one of its most faithful.
Rev. Robinson goes from here to
Meade county to continue his work
and in so doing Dodge City and
Ford county loses one of her best
citizens, while Meade gains one
within her borders worthy every
consideration and confidence. His
closing topics here Sunday will be
"Sacredness of Law" in the morn
ing, and in the evening "Relation of
Church Members to Each Other"
Dodge City Democrat.
