follows: "Mr. Kimble and family
and myself and family chartered a
launch and took a trip out on the
ocean. We visited seven OF our best
battleships lying in Pensacola harbor.
They are anchored close to the navy
yard in the harbor. They were the
Kearsage, the Iowa, the Illinois, the
Texas, the Alabama, the Indiana,
and the Massachusetts,. I wish orr
friends in the future capital city
could have the pleasure Of looking
over that fleet. 1t was a grand sight
The fleet will coal here Tuesday and
then go out to sea for target practice.
We continued our journey to the gulf
and stopped at the ~life-saying station.
We expect to 20 to DeFuniak Springs

awhile, and myself and family will
stop at points in Wiscorsin-and

The fence that now surrounds the

and there will be nothing to break

good size makes the court yard a most
attractive spot, and we are pleased to
note that these improvements will be
made, as were outlined to The Re-

ton, but it will be heartily welcomed

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE
Some Good Improvements are Plan

gF5HtsG .T-#+ta
There isn't a city in the state that
has more attractive grounds around
it's court house than Mitchell, but
the beauty surrounding the Dawson
county structure has been handicap
ped for a good many years by the lack
of some Improvements that would
tend to enhance tbs county's proper
ty. The county commissioners have
decided to change the condition Of
things and as soon az possible this
spring will commence work. The
county's property has not kept pace
with the rest of the city and there is
no eason why it should not.
Last fail the commissioners levied
a tax for the purpose Of making the
improvements and the cash will be
available when it is needed to pay
for what will be done. In the first
place a good sized addition will be
built Of brick on the north side ofsthe
court house, which will be used for
layatorY purposes, connection being
secured with the sewer on Fourth
street. With this done the two or
three old buildings that have stood
in the north part of the court yard
will be moved away, and the north
view will be as attractive as the south
view. Then the plank walk on the
south side will be removed and a fine

COLD, BLUSTERY WEATHER
Seems to be Little Hope OF Spring
Weather During This Month,
According to Hicks.

The weather predictions Of ri
Hicks for>March do not indicate that
we will have anything very pleasant.
For the rest of the monthhe hands
out the foIlowing:sssThe 9th and 10th
are central days ola reactionary per-
%tnrbation, intensified by Moon in per-
Figee5on the 10th. In all our publica-
Etions, for nearly twenty years, we
have explained Shatsan ELECTRICAL cri-
sis is annually to be looked for about
the 10th to 18th of March. The Moon
being at full and on the celestial
equator on the 18th, within two days
Of its perigee on the 10th, we are nat
urally to look for electrical phenome-
ma out Of the ordinary during this
annual period this month.
HThe regular storm period CENTER
ing on the 10Th anG extending from
the 18th to the Goth, will bring a
time Of exceedingly unsettled wealth
er, the probability Of many heavy,
and some dangerous storms. The ba-
Iometer and hydrometer will prove
faithful monitors at this, S we'll as
at all other times OF violent storms
and changes. The indications point
to two decided disturbances during
this central period In March, one at
the very beginning Of the period, and
at the other,ahout the 18th and 18th.
The storms on and about the 18th
will barely subside before the e n
trance to reactlonary storm conditions
due the 21st and 22nd. This is at the
center Of the Vernal equinox, and
many equinoctial squalls, with much
unpleasant weather, may be safely
counted on. In all central, western
and northern sections, mingled rain,
snow and raw, depicting winds will
render it exceedingly hard and trying
on unsheltered live stock. Every
possible effort should be made for
the feeding and protection Of the
dLmb.. brute Creation through this
equinoctial crisis. Thousands Of
cattle and sheep will perish, when a
last determined effort to protect and
eed them would tide them success
fully into the opening spring and.
summer. From both the stand
points Of mercy and commercial
gain, spend some Of your thought
and time ard money and labor to
shield the shiyefing, perishing
creatures that plead dumbly and de-
pendently at your gates, against the
last cruel cutting blasts CT depart
ing winter.
'The last general storm period in
March is central on the 9th, cover
ing the 25th to 3Oth. AS we approach
these days it will turn phenomenally
warm for the season, the barometer
will fall to low and dangerous read
ings, and anywhere from Friday, the
27th, to Monday, the Goth, it will
be wise to keep an eye on the
gathering storm indications. Very
warm, humid weather, with great
~ depressed barometer. will pressage
violence and danger, especially in
all central to southern parts of the
country. Late snow and sleetfstorms
will be most natural northward.
The month, in every probability,
will reach it's close in the midst OF
the cold wave at the end Of these
storms

HEREFOROS WIN PRIZES
Capture Troph'es for Best of All
 Grades at Fl Pas6

Capture rOPnteS TOT 6esL or Ali
 Grades at Fl Paso
 While the official list of ring shows was carried out and osed Wednes day, there was as much interest mani fested at the cattle sheds yesterday as any day during the exhibition.
 All day streams of people poured in and out of the sheds and cattlemen were busy as they have been this week Chairman Myles, to make the exhibition more interesting to exhibit ors, arranged two shows which were not included in the regular program Bo;h were for trophies given by Rob ert Moss of Fl Paso.
 The first was silver plate for the best bull of any grade under one year old, and was awarded to Glaucus of Scharbauer Bros herd. Mid and. The second was a silver plate for the best Hereford COW and calf, and was won by Viola and .three-months-old calf from Colonel C. c. Slaughter's ranch at Roswell, x. NJ. Bo,h prizes were won by Herefords.
 Decidedly the prettiest and most in- teresting part of the show during the convention and exhibition was a. 10 o'clock in the morning when nearly all the cattle in the exhibition were taken out and marched through the streets. It was the largest ever seen in Fl Paso and included as many fine cattle as ever took part in a parade in Texas. The cattle were shown to better advantage to the public than they were even in the show ring, and this feature was much enjoyed by ev- cry one. The friendly natures of thoroughbred cattle as well as their beauty of form and condition makes such exhibitions more attractive
 The parade traversed several of the most important streets, but lasted only an hour as many of the catt'e were too fat to stand much exercise on so warm a day.
 At o'clock the public auction sale was begun, but vas attended with but comparatively little interest on ac- count of the little advertising given it. A great many of the cattlemen did not know of the sale, and were not at the sheds to take their cattle out. There were only five sales, all bring ing very good prices.-Times.
