Thinks Something OF sherman.


James Cullins Of Talmage, Neb., IS
what the twentieth century people
would call an old man. He is well
I'D into the sixties, and as well fixed as
he is with this worlds goods, one
would think he would never care to
take Sherman county into cOnsidera-
ton in his plans for the future. he
has owned the northeast quarter Of
section 6-1O-4O in this county for
quite a few years, yet that quarter
section is one Of the things you can't
Guy Of him 1t was only a matter Of
twelve hours, not the price, that kept
him from buying the Pickerel place
when he was here last week He had
made up his mind TO take up the pro-
position the next morning after he
had viewed the landscape Ger, but
another homeseeker bought the place
before the sun went down He thinks
this a country OF opportunity and
would like 20 "buckIe-in" and win a
victory in this new country as he did
IN Nebraska when that state was
raw and untouched But" after q
little reflection. the years are many
with me and the world has been good
put nothing would delight me more
than TO see many Of our people come
west TO Sherman county and share
in the great abundance that the fu-
ture promises, before the land prices
reach the proper values Of the rich
plains land %
