Penitentiary Fund Low.

The penitentiary fund is at a low ebb, with claims amounting to about $15,000 against it. Several persons presented bills Monday to Earle Hodges, who issues warrants on the fund, but all went away unsatisfied. It is expected that the bills for August will amount to from $12,000 to $15,O0 which will increase the aggregate claims against the fund to from $25,- 900 to $30O0o. There is no prospect of the funds being replenished to any extent until after sales of cotton from the state farm.

Hold Greeson for Death of Pickett.


 The coroaer's jury which was em- paneled to investigate the killing of Arch Pickett, the Vell-known resident of Jonesboro who was shot 10 death at his residence Monday afternoon. created much surprise by holding that M. F. Gregson slew Pickett. Pick etts wife is held by the coroner's jury to have been an accessory.
 Mrs. Pickett, who was arrested shortly after her husband was slain, said that she killed him and gave her reason that he was mean and abusive to her at various times" Gregson, her step-father, who is a well-to-do and highly respected man, was also arrest ed, but was released on his own recog- nizanee
 After the report of the coroner's ju- ry warrant was issued for Gregson, but before he was placed in jail Coun- ty Judge J. B. Walker released him on a writ of habeas corpus and by agreement with Deputy Prosecuting Attorney J. M Hawthorne, put un- der bond of g. 900, which he readi- ly gave The killing of Pickett has created a profound sensation there, as all the parties to the trouble are prominent. While no one other than Gregson and Mrs. Pickett saw the actual shoot ing, more than one person heard the shots and saw Pickett stagger toward his house and fall. They also saw Mrs. Pickett and Gregson enter buggy and drive hurriedly away. A constable followed them and arrested both of them at the Gregson home about six miles from Jonesboro.

EXPECTING GREAT
THINGS THIS FALL

J. G. Lakenan, speaking this
morning OF the growth and doyel-
opment of Amarillo and surrounding
country, said:
I'VE have reason 10 expect that
the coming fall and winter will be
the greatest ever known here. This
section is undergoing a remarkable
change-a change that means much
to our people, II Is simple truth
10 state that only few months ago,
our lands we're being taken largely
by spectators, as compared with the
actual homoseeker or settler being
about 70 per cent This order OF
things is now changed, and the ac'
tual settlers, the man seeking a
home, will rank fully so per cent
Those spectators who have a
considerable bit OF money In lands
are beginning to change their tactics
that Is, they no longer allow their
lands TO lie idle, but are improving
them, and getting in shape to reap
some revenue from the soil. In this
way there is a demand for building
materials, supplies In every line, and
In II there Is the making OF a far
better condition.
The greatest thing, however,
about this locality Is the public spirit
OF the people. They want many
things, trait that is common to
humanity, but they differ from much
OF their kind. In that with the want
ing, there cmes freedom TO give OF
their means for the thing desired.
The spirit OF fairness and liberality
is worth the while, and Ia the expla-
nation OF why Amarillo seldom II ev-
err fails to get what she really con-
siders worth going after"
While the words OF Mr.. Lakenan
may contain nothing startlingly new
they will call attention OF the citi'
zenship to a konwn fact that is very
gratifying. 1t sounds good indeed
To know that during the last year
alone there was an increase in the
city's population OF 35 per cent The
surrounding communities have shown
a corresponding growth, and this Is
admittedly but the beginning Of the
end-an end that means much tc
every lnhabitant of this section. "A
Greater Amarillo" Is the accepted
motto.

W. r. Harvey, OF Pampa, Texas,
Is not given to Boosting, hut he
speaks with considerable emphasis
when he talks Of that part OF Texas
as a farming country. when
farmer can raise 20 bushels Of wheat
to the acre on cheap lands, ranging
in price around SIS to $50 the acre,
and sell 1t right from the machine at
IS cents bushel, he has very
good thing" said Mr.. Harvey "ln
that country we do all our farming
with machinery. And wheat Is not
all we raise. We are raising corn,
too, and the corn crop this year is
the best we ever had. Raising 90
bushels OF wheat on land that Is val
ued at 500 an acre is not paying
business. And II does not make a
farmer rich to raise so bushels OF
corn to the acre on such land, But
when he can raise that much corn
on land worth but SIS an acre, there
is something in 1t. The season has
been very favorable with us. SO fal
