The editor of the Sparks claims that
the republican state committee used
corruption fund of $500 in Prowers
county. Whew! We knew that the
committee earnestly desired to be help
ed by the vigorous opposition of the
Sparks. but never dreamed they would
pay such an amount as that for the pur-
pose. Joe must be on easy street now

The lectures on bible lands, being
given at the Methodist church are in
tensely interesting and instructive. II
you go to hear them you will not be-
grudge the time. They are free If you
want them to be, or you can contribute
something il you like. They will be
worth money to you, Professor Watson
knows what he is talking about and puts
it In a very pleasing manner.
A man named Robinson was before
the police Judge Myers last week for
being mixed up in a cutting scrape and
got off easy with fine Of S. and costs,
which he is now laying out in j iii. Our
city should provide ROCK pie like the
one used here two years ago, and make
jail sentence little more disagreeable
to these men.

ed in Lamar last week and has been

w. F. There, the expert horse buyer +,
was in Lamar a week ago Saturday and
took two car loads Of horses away.
He left about $500 with our horse men
in pay for same, and every body connect
ed with the deal seems to be well pleas
ed. Mr.. There has made a number Of
trips here during the past year and has
become very popular with men having
horses for sale. He expects to continue
his visits as he is doing very satisfact-
ory business.
H. w. Campbell, OF Lincoln, Nsbras-
ka, originator OF the new system of
dry land farming, which is now known
as the Campbell system, and which has
increased the crops in sections Of Ne
braska by so per cent, was In Lamar
looking over the lrnds and getting sta
tistics as to rainfall, last week. After a
careful study of conditions here Mr..
Campbell believes that his system can
be worked Just as successfully on the
dry lands here as IN Nebraska. He has
made proposition to our citizens that
il they will secure his company options
on $1,000 acres OF dry lands in Prowers
county at reasonable figures, his com
pany will stand the expense of putting
the system into effect, and If successful
will divide the profits on the sale of the
lands with the former owner Of the land.
1t would be hard to find more favor
able proposition and the matter should
be taken hold Of at once. Fifty thou
sand acres may seem like large amount
of land, but when we consider the hun
dreds OF thousands lying waste here,
and of such very small value, it should
not be hard to secure. Failure only
means the loss Of time necessary to se-
cure the options, while success would be
of incalculable benefit to the whole
county.
