The Texas Panhandle.

For some time we have been re-
ceiving inquiries from investors,
spectators n d homeseekers
asking where we could sell them
good land at a low price and not
desiring to take purchasers and
sell them land in a country we
knew nothing of we made a trip
thru Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas
and New Mexico with q view Of
getting for sale the best lands in
the best locations where we could
offer the purchaser the best values
for his money with. the greatest
chance for increase in value and
we have decided that the southern
part Of the Panhandle Of Texas Of
fers the best inducements in cheap
land to be had anywhere we know
Of.
In the Panhandle near the towns of
Amarillo, Hereford aud Texico we
were shown land which EN- be
bought for from 81 so per acre up
depending on the location with
reference to the towns and the
quality of improvements. The
soil on this land IS from two to
five feet deep, some black and
some chocolate soil.
Near the town of Hereford water
can be found at depth of from
40 to $50 feet and a we'll can be
bored and windmill erected at a
cost of about 800.
This land grows oats wheat,
milo maize, kafir corn, sorghum
and some alfalfa. The average
wheat yield for the past eight or
ten years is II bushels per acre,
we are informed. In some cases
as high as SO bushels to the acre
has been raised. Oats will make
from 35 to 60 bushels to the acre,
J while milo maize will make 40 to
go blu.
There is some corn raised in this
locality althO at the present time
there is not great deal of corn
grown. While in the Panhandle
we purchased section of land.
We are associated with an immi
grafton company which has its
own dining and sleeping car. a
charge of Doc per night will be
made for berth while yOu are with
the car, and you can either eat
your meals on the car or not, just
as you prefer.
On Tuesday March Goth we will
personally conduct a party of pros
pective purchasers to Hereford
via the Wabash TO Kansas City,
and from Kansas City over thu
Santa Fe. The rate for the rOuut
trip will be SIG 60 and if you are
interested in purchasing land where
one good crop will pay for the
I land we would be more than glad
} to have you call aud let us tel
you about the country and let us
arrange to have you accompany
. US.
Last week there were siz
trains of ten coaches each going
into this territory and the indica
tons are that lands will advanc
very rapidly so don't delay but ge
ready to go with us next week.
For any information relative t
this country call and see us 0

With the Schools.

The Board of Education m
Tuesday evening pursuant to cal
by President d. N. Walker. The
following members were present;
D. N. Walker, j. w. Woosley, DR..
w. M. Turner, w. G. Reynolds and
w. L. White.
President Walker stated that the
meeting was called for the purpose
of taking action on the resignation
of Prof. w. e. Miller, of our High
School.
After discussing at some length
the various phases of contracts with
the consequent obligations devolv-
ing, on the contracting parties, a
motion prevailed to accept Mr. Mil
ler's resignation.
Supt. Darrah, who is always on
the alert for such contingencies,
presented an array of applications
from graduates of our leading uni
versities, many of whom have from
ten to twelve years experience in
preparing young men for university
entrance.
Out of the whole number Ten
nessean, graduate of Yale Col
lege, seemed to command the at
tention of the Board both on ac-
count of his brilliant scholarship
and the many excellent positions
has held. The Superintendent
Vas instructed to communicate
with four of the applicants at once,
and to urge them to make personal
it possible.
A fine catalogue of the schools
will soon be published containing
full course of study in all the grades
together with other information
to all interested in public
education. Boys and girls who de-
sire to enter Vanderbilt University
or. any other university for that
matter will do well to investigate
the record Of The Public High School
Of Union City.
