w. j. Luna was in town the

southwest of here and reports
an abundance of crops being
raised in his locality for both

now harvesting the second crop

cabbage, turnips, etc, are about
to take his land. He had not a
word to say about his cotton
patch.
Last Saturday, T. G. Thompson
presented the News editor with two
as handsome roses as it has been
his pleasure to see since he has
been on the Plains. They were
large, deep red roses that breathed
aromatic fragrancies around the
editors Sanctum and put to flight
the usual grateful odor of the paste
pot. The soft showers with which
the plains has been unusually
blessed this year has done much to
turn the attention OF those who
love flowers to more correct
of environments that
will promote their general eXcellen-
cy. Mr.. Thompson has devoted
study to flower-lore
and he is of that kind who thinks
one will not have to 60 away from
the Plains to obtain beautiful yards
and lawns where the result is left
to the influence of the flowers. The
News editor has been receiving so
many kind attentions of late that
first thing ANYBODY knows some
body will be enjoying the news
paper fraternity. (?)
