Career.
The retirement Of Lieut.. Gen. Mel
son Appleton Miles marks the close Of
aL interesting military career. What
ever criticisms may be directed
against General Miles because of his
vanity and pride Of position, no re-
proach can justly be placed upon his
record as a soldier. lie Is prc-cui-
nentiT q type Of the successful Amer
lean military man-brave, humane.
and resourcefuL From the humble
position of a~dry goods clerk lac rose

Of the army, and this, too, without the
advantages afforded by a course at
West Point. General Miles military

Of volunteers and placed ia command

From Paint Rock.

Among the San Angelo Carni-
val visitors from Paint Rock we
noticed the following: DR.. Crunk
and family, John Hargis and
wife, w. j. Tomerlin and wife,
Lee Shuler, w. S. Wade. Lee
Holland and wife. Albert Goforth,
Barney Currie and w. M. Downer.
The editor and family took in
one day of the San Angelo Car
nival this week, and while every
body seemed to have had good
time the city was pretty badly
crowded while we were there.
Beds were obtained for the ladies
and children, but some of the
men had to walk the streets
while Others slept in chairs, on
benches, or any old place they
could find, and while the editor
was pretty lucky in getting a
place to rest our carcass we
thought for awhile that we would
have to hunt good strong nail
to hang on or else sleep in bed
that you make up with pitch
fork. The Carnival was pretty
good, and the San Angelo people
did their best to make all of the
visitors have a good time. Con-
cho, as well as other neighboring
counties, was we'll represented,
and the occasion will be remem-
bered pleasantly by those in at
tendance for many moons.-Con-
cho Herald.

Abilene, Tex, Oct. 18.--The
roping contest at the West Texas

drew a large crowd, about 1000
people being present. The exhi-
bition was not as good as expect
ed, due perhaps to the high wind.
Sid Millspaugh, of Big Springs,
gave fine exhibition of skillful
work on q we'll trained horse. AS
quick as the steer was thrown the
horse, after stopping, trotted
along, dragging the steer. and
even after the rider had left him
he kept all the slack out of the
rope, holding the steer on the
ground. Mlllspaueh won first
prize of $500. Time, 43 As.
