about Persia We think OF a land OF

OF weird stories that were old when nterR-

Us. and we think Of nothing that has 10 do

We have no visions OF anything that asso-
ciates Persia with the Twentieth Century,
but We do have visions OF the Calph OF

Thinking that probably a few
lines from the pen of "Lucile," nov
located in one of the western coun
ties of the "Lone Star" state, nigh
be of interest to some of your reau
ers, l will endeavor to give you
few items.
| Haskell county, our present loca
ton, is said to contain some as fin'
farming lands as can be found any
where. Haskell, our county seat, il
nine miles northeast of us, and,
think, claims a population of 1000
This county contains thousands
upon thousands of acres of fine
farming lands, owned by wealthy
men In many of our large northern
and southern cities, who bought il
years ago for little or nothing, and
are selling at a big profit.
This is a great prairie country.
The timber is all mesquite, but it
makes splendid fires, and SO much
do the mesquite trees look like large
fruit trees that they give me the i'm
preston of being in the midst of a
vast orchard.
AS to our immediate location, our
house is in pasture containing tif-
ty thousand acres, well wooded and
we'll watered.
The climate here is colder, l be-
lieve, and more variable than Hunt
county. We have less rain here
than in other places. People who
have lived here for some years tell
me there has been no rain to amount
to much since September year ago.
And, yet, last year, dry as it was,
some of our farmers made half a
bale of cotton to the acre and plenty
of corn to do them through the
winter.
Wolves are numerous here, and
are a great drawback to the raising
of poultry. = From our doors we
very often see antelopes crossing
the prairie in front of our house.
And as for prairie dogs, they are
here by the thousands and are
source of never-eeasing amusement
to me, though / am told they are
very destructive to growing crops.
just let crowd of farmers get to-
gether, and they begin to discuss
ways and means to get rid of the
little pests. l was very much anus

THERE WAS considerable
discussion in the committee
meeting Wednesday in regard
to assessing candidates to pay
the officers, judges and clerks
for holding the primary March
9th. 1t was the overwheIm-
ing sentiment of the commit
tee that they would act with
out pay. We believe that
the loyal democrats who have
been selected to serve in the
above mentioned capacities
will report promptly and act
cheerfully, without hope of
pecuniary reward. We all
have to render service to our
party, and a true democrat
never shirks a duty.
