TEXAS LANDS.

DEAR EDITOR:--Will you permit
me to say to your readers. a few
things about our country. When |
was in old Crittenden last June on a
visit for my first time since leaving
there IN 1873 | was very forcibly
impressed with the need of many Of
your citizens, seeking a new country
and doing 20 at once.
l recall the instance of old uncle
Ed McCleskey, in 1874, selling out
there and moving to Texas by wagon.
resulted in my father following suit
the next year. Also Silas McMurray,
Frank Cruce, John Zimmerman and
others.
l shall always bless the day that
uncle turned this way. We settled
in Erath county. Texas, and remained
there on one tract of land until ten
years ago when | moved to this
country. After trying the plains |
really feel as though | have lost the
II years spent in Erath county, for
there it required so much expenditure
of money and labor to prepare the
land for the pillow while here 1t is
already clear, absolutely no obstruc-
tons level, and no foods to wash
away the soil.
have been engaged more or less
for the last five years in buying and
selling lands and cattle, | do not re-
call to mind a single instance where
the man to whom | sold land has not
either sold are can sell at a fancy
profit. Example -Four years ago !
sold a section of land q miles of Can
yon to W. p. Orr, of Stepheuville,
Texas. at 1915 per acre, he has not
expended dollar on it except for
taxes this Is only $40 per section
per year, and he has refused ten dol
lars per acre. l sold section last
spring TO Mr.. Mercer, OF Iowa, } four
miles from Canyon City where I live
at $14 per acre and he now refuses
$50 per acre. l can furnish many
other such instances.
Real estate Of all kinds have great.
ly advanced and will yet advance
even more rapidly; for this country
is just now beginning to attract at.
tention abroad, and the eyes of the
world are turned this way. Poor
men are seeking a country where it
is possible for them to own their
homes while men Of wealth are look
ing for investment; and they know
that for a safe and sure one nothing
beats good lands. / am land agent
but am sincere IN all that l have
said. l invite you to come and in
vestigate and you will find that it is
even better than l have represented.
The average yield of wheat last year
(l906) was "a bushels per acre In my
county (aud in some instances it
yielded 40 bushels per acre) and sold
at an average price of 20 cts per bu-
shell. These choice lands every foot
tillable, can be bought now from $40
to $25 per acre. Come to see us and
we will verify all We have said.

~ Months Continuous Residence.

Washington, D. c., March e.
A ruling has just been made
in the interior department which
is Of great concern to the peo-
pie homesteading lands, especial
ly to those living in the east.
For many years it has been Gus
tomary to permit six months of
constructive" residence on the
homestead lands, that is, to cred
it the homesteader with six
months, though he did not act
ually live on the land. The de-
partment now rules that in the
cases of persons desiring to COM
mute at the end of fourteen
months and pay up instead of
living the rest of the five-years,
residence cannot be allowed,
through this six months construc-
tive period, though it will be to
others. The commuter must
show good faith residence of
the full fourteen months.

a Dead One

Breathes there q man with soul
SO dead,
Who never to himself hath said:
MY trade of late is getting b.G.
I'll try another ten inch adj"
II such there be go mark him well,
For him no bank account will
swell,
Nor angels watch the golden stair
TO welcome home the millionaire;
The man who never asks for trade
by local lines Or ad. displayed.
Cares more for rest than worldly
gain,
And patronage but gives him pain
Tread lightly friends; let no rude
sound.
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies go plant him
deep
That nought may break his
dreamless sleep.
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved SO well,
And when the world may know
it's loss
Place on his grave wreath of
moss
And on a stone above, ''here lies
A chump who wouldn't adver-
tise."

Home

COUNT no expense loss thai
makes the home more delightful.
WHEN the last word is likely tc
, be an unkind one, let some one
else say it.
WE are happy in this worlo
just in proportion as we make
others happy.
MARRIAGE seems never SO much
a failure to a man as when some
thing goes wrong at home that
he can't possibly blame his wife
for.
THE kind of religion that tells
in the long run is the kind that
never howls and yrowls because
there is no pudding on wash day.
Some men say they are per-
fectly willing to spendtheir whole
lives in making their wives hap
py, but they don't spend any
money for the same purpose.
The housewife who at night
raises the shades Of her prettily
furnished parlor, that the world
in passing may catch a glimpse Of
the happy picture within, does a
good work for civilization.
How often does one hear a
great man say, II owe everything
to my home training" or what
! am my mother, or my father,
made me. " And how often with
truth, the bad man, the mean,
petty small man, might say the
same thing.
We never have more than we
can bear. The present hour we
are all able to endure. AS our day,
SO is our strength. If the trials
OF many years were gathered in
to one, they would overwhelm us;
therefore, in pity to our little
strength. He sends first one,
then another, then removes both,
and lays a third, heavier, per-
haps, than either; but all is so
wisely measured TO our strength
that the bruised weed is never
broken. We do not look enough
at our trials in this continuous
and successive view. Each one
is sent to teach us something,
and altogether they have a lesson
which is beyond the power of any
to teach alone.
Cherish the home with infinite
tenderness. You cannot love it
too much, nor give it too much
time and thot. Remember life
has nothing better to offer you;
it is the climax and crown of
Gods gifts. Make every day of
life in it rich and sweet. 1t will
not last long. See to it that you
plant no seeds Of bitter memory;
that there will be no neglect and
harshness to haunt you in after
years. Your little ones will die
and go hence with your words
and spirits planted in their etern-
al nature. Sons and daughters
will go from you into the great |
world, to live as you have taught |
them, to be strong or weak ac-
cording to the spirit you have en-
grated upon them. How you
will yearn for them whether liv-
ing or dead. How sweet or how
bitter will be the days when they
prattled about in the home from
which they have gone forever!
So live with them and train them
now that when they are gone you
and they can look back on the
past with thankfulness and not
regret.
