REAL ESTATE AND LIVESTOCK

REAL ESTATE AND LIVESTOCK
Land is the basis of all wealth
and the man today who owns farm
whether large or small has laid the
foundation fox future prosperity.
Many men are working for wages
today or renting high price land that
should own their own farm and thus
lay the foundation for their future
independence.
Other men 50 much different in
financial affairs have large financial
interest and are loaning money at 4
and 5 per cent who do not seem to
care for good investment, believing
the good old way is the best.
TO those two classes We desire TO
call their attention TO the Panhandle
country, especially Randall county.
Here we have every inducementto
the homeseeker and investor and a
place where from Y to SO per cent
can be realized each year.
AS will be seen by the testimonials
and descriptive matter in this large
edition no other place in the United
States today IS offering better in
ducements than Randall county.
In this connection we desire TO
call your attention TO a man who for
the past fifteen years has been
closely identified with the best in
terests Of the county l. c. Lair
or Judge Lair as he is Familiarity
called came TO this county when
land was from 81 to 81 per acre,
when all said that grazing was all

more fully regarding the values in
this county then you should call on
or write to Mr.. r. M. Peeler, the
subject of this sketch, who for the
past FIFTEEN YEARS has made his
home with US and has always been
closely identified with the progress
and advancement of the county.
He has been our county clerk for
six years and knows every foot of
land he has for sale.
Not only does he handle farms
and ranches from 100 acres to 1000,
but handles city property as we'll.
Mr.. Peeler is thoroughly informed
regarding the value of our lands and
his word is as good as bond.
Every reader of this edition would
do well to call on or write R. M.
Peeler.

R. NJ. PEELER, REAL ESTATE
"Westward and ever westward
The course OF Empire wends its way
This is true today and has been
for the past 400 years. First the
Atlantic coast was the attraction for
the people Of the Eastern Hemis-
phere and from the first settlement
in jamestown in 1907 until today the
center Of population has been
gradually coming west.
Whenever people Of the crowded
east who farm high-price land can
be educated to the fact that the
Panhandle Of Texas offers the same
Inducements in the productiveness of
soil and climate a thousand times
healthier, then it will be but a short
time before they will avail them
selves OF the opportunity to secure
home where every ideal condition
exists.
/. HERE we have soil that
produces in abundance small grain,
alfalfa, fruit, Kafir corn, maize, etc.
and failures are practically unknown.
3. HERE we have pure water in
abundance and easy to secure.
3. HERE we have a climate that
for healthfulness is beyond compar-
ison.
4. HERE we have every social
advantage, good schools, churches
and fraternal organizations.
Do not these reasons appeal to
you who are situated where taxes
are high, where rent is high, and
where you suffer from cold winters
and hot summers?
Then why do you not take advan-
tage Of the golden moment and buy
a farm in "the golden spot" Of the
UNITED STATES, Randall County,
Texas.

CANYON CITY PHOTOGRAPH
GALLERY,
NJ, S. LUSBY, PROPRIETOR.

There is no art that comes so
near the human heart as that of
photography. BY its aid the poor
as we'll as the rich are enabled to
retain the resemblance of loved ones
long since past beyond.
In Canyon City We have man
whose whole heart is in the work,
Mr., NJ. S. Lusby, the subject OF
this sketch, came from the coast
country OF Texas in the spring Of
1891. with a view of finding a health
Ter climate and decided that Canyon
City was the ideal place to locate.
He Immediately commenced the
erection of a gallery, building with
modern single slant corrugated glass
light, with an operating room l6x55
feet, which he equipped with first
class machinery and accessories land
has ever since been prepared TO
take proper care of the photo work
of a rapidly growing city and one
even many times the size Of Canyon
City.
Mr.. Lusby is practical in his bus
mess methods. his motto is salts
faction or your money refunded.
BY using the best materials and
that money can buy, and
being proficient workman in his
line CT business it is perfectly easy
for him to live up to his motto.
His customers have the pleasure
Of knowing that they can get the
latest styles and up-to-date line OF
cards 10 select from, and at the
same time get prices that are the
lowest for quality Of material used.
Mr., Lusby is prepared to take
views OF buildings, scenery, live
stock, etc, and our real estate men
will find this Of advantage in adver-
Using this section Of the State.
After living here now for five
years our photographer stands solid
for Canyon City, first and last, and
for the Plains Country all the time,
We may add that with the ex-
ception OF three cuts used in this
edition, Mr.. Lusby took all the
pictures from which the cuts were
made.

AUTUMNAL CATARRH
Disease Prevalent Now. HyOmei
Will Cure II Quickly.

A great many people suffer more
with catarrh during the fall months
than at any other season Of the year,
as changes in weather seem to have a
bad effect upon the disease.
AT the first warning of catarrh one
should begin the use Of Hyomei. A
few days treatment will often prevent
a serious attack of this distressing and
annoying disease.
There is no stomach dosing with Hy.
omei. 1t cures catarrh by the simple
and natural method Of breathing med
icated air into the nose, throat and
lungs, in this way killing the germs of
catarrhal poison, healing and soothing
the irritated mucous membrane and en-
tering the blood with the oxygen, thus
driving all catarrh germs from the
system.
II you have any of the ordinary ca
tarrh symptoms, such as offensive
breath, burning pains in the throat,
coughing, raising of mucous, difficulty
to breathe, sneezing, huskiness, dis
charge from the nose, droppings in the
throat, coughing spasms, ETC., begin
the use of Hyomei at orce.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, extra bottles SOC and VIM L. Gokay
gives his personal guarantee With
every package that money will be re-
funded unless it cures.

CRYING SHELLS OF cEYLoN.
Sounds They Make Like the Notes OF
an Aeolian Harp.

Sir j. Emerson Tennent, having
heard story about musical sounds
issuing from the lake at Batticalea
In Ceylon paid visit to the place
says Chambers Journal. The fisher
men told him that the sounds. which
rcsemblod the faint sweet notes o.
an aeolian harp. were heard only al
night and during the dry season. were
most distinct when the moon was
nearest the full. and proceeded. they
believed, not from fish. but from
shell called the crying shell"
In the evening" says Tennent
when the moon rose took boat
and accompanied the fishermen TO the
spot We rowed about 200 yards
northeast of the jetty by the fort
gate, there was not breath OF wind
or n ripple except those caused by
the dip OF our oars. On coming &c
the point mentioned distinctly
heard the sounds in question. They
came up from the water like the
gentle thrills OF a musical chord. OF
the faint vibrations Of a wineglass
when its rim is rubbed by a mols
tened finger. II was not one sus
tanned note. but a multitude of tiny
sounds, each clear and distinct in IL
self. the sweetest treble minglinp
with the lowest bass
ION applying the ear to the wood
work OF the boat the vibration was
greatly increased In volume. The
sounds varied considerably at different
