To the Bryan Eagle;
As see so many nice commu.

that it is time for another short
article from the plains.

am also glad to know that our
little township of WEXFORD where
moved from is so rapidly COM
ing 10 the front az truck farming
locality. HurrSh for my old
friends Messrs. W. II. McVey and
=. ID. Barron. Doesn't look like
the boil weeyils are doing much
damage on Rock Prairie from the
amount Of cotton this Mr.. Barron
is making this year.
Well can't cay much for the
planes this year, as crops are not
near so good as they were last year.
We had fine rain two weeks ago
and another one last Tuesday, but
they came to late TO do crops any
good.
However it put a season in the
ground 20 people could commence
sowing wheat; the rain came on
Friday evening, and | commenced
to plant wheat Saturday aud fin
ished on the following Wednesday.
| only planted ten acres it is up
aud growing nicely. and my
family spent the day last Sunday
with Mr.. 7. J. Sawyer and family
and he told me that, he was going
after wheat for himself 5. J. Lee,
W. r. Bond and Jef Burch.
Most every one in this commu.
nifty is going to plant from five to
fifty acres in wheat this fall, and it
sn't much Of an experiment; as |
know Of five threshing machines
that have done a good business this
season threshing wheat, oats and
other small grain.
| noticed in the western
Searchlight," paper published a
Hereford, that Deaf Smith, Potter
Randall and Castro counties
threshed from to 10 to 20 bushels
OF wheat per acre. After pasturing
it all winter which pays we'll for
the seed and the trouble Of plant

All of the Brazos county people
are well, and doing fairly we'll.
Miss Mamie Todd's school
opened three weeks ago, she has 35
pupils in regular attendance.
There lie being some feed bar
vested now, such as waised corn
and early sorghum; but late sor.
ghum and Kaffer corn is too green
to cut just now.
We are 10 have a railroad from
Amarillo to Plainview, but | don't
think it will benefit Us, any as the
nearest point won't be any closer
to us than Hereford; but ii will be
a great help TO those people living

A man got of the Ruth here last
Friday morning who attracted con-
[siderably attention. He was bare
footed and had neither coat nor hat.
His pants and shirt were dripping
wet and he was chilled through and

restaurant, where he was given a
hot breakfast, bat he shook so
with the cold that he could hardly
eat. Clerk Roy Moore, of the Ruth,
said the man had hailed the boat at
Martins landing some 3 or 4
miles below town. People In that
locality say that he came running
across the bottom from the direction
of the river to DR.. Martins residence
and wanted to borrow a gun to
defend himself against mob which
he said was after him. He then
had on only his,pants, blue fan
mel shirt and the remnant
of one sock. He claimed to
have swan the river. and the
condition of his clothes showed
that he had evidently been In the
water. He started down the river,
and when the r tn came along he
hailed her and came to town.
Mr.. M Atkinson furnished him
with some shoes and clothes, and
Officer Dickey took care of him
until the boat came back in the
evening when he was put aboard to
be taken to his home atSistersville
