A Fatal Stroke OF Paralysis.

We learn from Roy Barnard
that Mrs. VIM. Ford of Galloway,
was stricken with paralysis Tues
day while attending the funeral
of Mrs. Idell.
She had left the church and

buggy to go to the cemetery
when stricken. She was taken
to her brothers house, Isaac
Bryner, where medical attention
was given, but she never regain
ed consciousness and died in a
few hours. She was between SO

or trees and occasionally track
can he secured that has on it con-
siderable hay land. But the best
hay land has long since been secur-
ed by ranchmen and especially that
along the streams. Yet there
are thousands of sections that
can yet be had that will pay for
the taking, where one will give
his attention strictly to stock
raising and dairying. In the
northwest part of Custer county
is lot of this land. All the
counties north and west of Custer
in the sixth district offer many
opportunities for those who wish
to engage in stock raising. Most
of the best lands are inclosed in
some stockman's large pasture
but with government plats which
can be secured at any of the
government land offices for $1.00
this land can be located. Ranch
men realize that these lands will
be homesteaded aud the more
reasonable of them are assisting
those whom they believe to be
honorable to locate inside their
enclosure. 1t is a great oppor-
tunity for young men with small
means or no means to get start
in life. Many localities can be
found where several sections can
be had together. This affords
an opportunity for small colinies
to locate and thus give them the
benefit of social and religious
gatherings and school privileges
that could not be where issolated
from communities.

Inquiries for government land

cured in a body increase as the
opening day approaches. The
land Office here is kept very busy
in replying to inquiries by mail
as we'll as with those who apply
at the Office daily for informa-

vicinity. Township plats are in
great demand. Many inquiries
are coming from persons in the
eastern part of the state to their
personal acquaintance in refer
ence to the government land in
Custer county.
Some of these people no doubt
are going to be greatly disap-
pointed when they come to see
this land, which the government
has so generously provided they
can take $40 acres of II for a
homestead. All of this land is
more or less sandy and much OF
it is sand hills with but small

Memorial and Decoration Services.

The annual commoration of
the Civil War patriots is an event
that will be long remembered by
those of this vicinity participant
ing. The memorial services were
held Sunday morning in the u.
b. church. The sermon was full
of patriotism and was we'll re-
ceived by the large audience in
attendance.
A quartette by the Lewis
Bros was an interesting feature
of the occasion.
DECORATION DAY.
The exercises Decoration Day
were in charge of Washburn
Post No. SO G. A. r. and the

A large crowd of citizens in
carriages gathered on the south
east and west side of the Public

parade to the grounds. The
column was formed in front of
the Realty Block, the Grand
Army in front, the w. h. c. in

Colored Minstrel Co, who were in
the city for the day-was follow
ed by the boys brigade of the
Baptist church and the Sunday
school children of the several
schools of the city. Then came
the citizens and carriages and on
horse back. The crowd was the
largest ever assembled in Broken
Bow on similar occasion. While
waiting for the column to be form
ed, fully an hour the Broken Bow
band and the Georgia MINISTRIES
entertained the audience with
music. Not near all the crowd
went to the grounds, but the
colum was fully a mile and a
half long.
AT the cemetery the ritualistic
services of the G. A. h. was car
ried out. The address of Presi-
dent Lincoln at Gettysburg was
ably read by Judge Reese.

Another rain Tuesday night
of .53 of an inch came to remind
us that this is no off year in
Custer county. Tuesday night
and Wednesday of last week gave
us 2.16 inches of rain, which was
sufficient to last for some time.
Farmers already are beginning
to realize that every available
day must be utilized in keeping
the weeds down, if a good corn
crop is to be harvested. In the
meantime alfalfa, wheat, oats,
rye and barley are getting in
their best ticks. 1t now looks as
this is to be bumper crop year
of all kinds.

The work of the assessors thus
far shows that the farmers will
have no reason to complain OF
exhorbitant taxes under the new
revenue law. The assessed valu-
alton will have to exceed four or
five times last years assessment
in order for the taxes to be as
high as they have been even
should the levy not be charged.
But one fifth of the valuation is
taken for the purpose of assess
ment. When a COW is only as.
sessed for $500 and horse SIC
or $40 owing to value of $50 or
500, there will be no cause to
complain if the levy is kept down
as low as possible to raise the nee
essary expenses. The new re-
venue law is especially calculat-
ed to better equalize taxes by
getting every thing of value on
the tax list. In this respect we
anticipate it will be a great i'm
provement over the old law.
