chased land here last week and
before leaving for home stated
that he was more than pleased
with this country and that he

the necessary arrangements.
Pat Christian, of San Jose,
Illinois, has returned home to
make his final arrangements for
moving to his land in this county.
He was highly "tickled' over the

could get down here the better
he would like it.

TO HAVE NEW COURT HOUSE.
Hale County Follows Us and Will
Erect New Temple Of Justice.

At the election held last week
in Hale county the sovereign vo-
tiers of that county decided in
favor of the bond issue for the
erection of Il new court house for
that county, the vote being 4oS
for the issuance of the bonds for
the court house and 223 against
the proposition. On the Jail
proposition which was also sub
mitted, the vote stood 4o2 for
and 226 against the bonds.
Regarding the matter one of
the Plainview papers has the fol-
lowing to say;
The people of Hale county are
to be congratulated upon this
election. 1t means long step
forward. The new building will
be one of the very best adver-
tiSements to this country, 1t will
enhance the value of property
as nothing else could possibly do.
Our people know Il good thing
and they are everlastingly after
some enterprise that means
great stride forward.
Now it is to be hoped that our
commissioners will lose no time
/ in the matter of executing plans
and specifications for the speedy
erection of these two buildings.
/ OF course there are many pre-
| liminarieS to be pushed aside be-
fore work can actually be begun
/ but this writer trusts that the
day will be far distant when the
bonds will be issued and eXcava'
tons will be made for the foun-
| dation of that elegant court
/ house. Tomorrow will not be
/ too early for everyone who comes
/ this way knows we need it and
need it badly.
Speed the day when the corner
stone will be laid. The people
of this county should turn out in
a body on that great day, in fact
that should be a gala day, a red
letter day, the banner day in the
history of our county. Then al
the very shortest possible date
after the laying of the corner
stone our citizens should again
assemble en- masse and dedicate
the new temple of justice. Thai
will be a gala day, an epocf
making day in the history o
Hale county.

Big Stock Farm.

In conversation with the News
reporter this week, W. W. Ali
son, of this city stated that he and
his brother. John F. Allison, late
of Sweetwater, Texas, would be-
gin at once on the establishing of
a large stock farm on three sec
tions of land in the Block past
ure south east Of the city. They
propose to put about 1000 acres
of this land in cultivation, reserv-
ing the remainder of the land for
pasture for the thoroughbred
Hereford and other cattle.
They will also devote much time
TO the raising Red Duroc hogs.
Mr.. Allison stated that they had
selected three of the best sec
tons that they could get to-
gether out there and that they
would have one of the finest
stock farms in the South.
These men certainly express
their confidence in the country
when they go to making such an
outlay of money, but everybody
here knows that everything they
propose to raise can be raised
profitably, and so, after all,
there is no risk run, but simply
good judgment on the part of the
gentlemen in making this invest
ment.

The County Roads.
DEAR EDITOR:

DEAR EDITOR:
respectfully request space in
your valuable paper to call at
tention of the road supervisors
and overseers of Randall county
to their indifferences on the sub
ject of the improvement Of the
public roads and also to the fact
that there is legal penalty for
a failure to work and keep in
good repair all the public roads in
the county.
Nothing is more necessary TO
the prosperity of the country,
nothing calculated to invite IN
vestment, nothing pays better
as an investment, than a system
of good roads. This matter has
been mentioned before and the
law on the subject is Imperative.
If a sense of duty and of tinan-
cial benefit, to say nothing of ap
pearance and comfort, will not
impel our road officers to this
duty, | shall see that the matter
is laid before our County At
torney.
The Commissioners are super
visors of roads in their respect

Watch For the 1884 Trade

It is worth ITS weight in gold and a

of the 1884 issue.
AT an auction sale In the room OF
the Chicago Numismatic society last
week ono 1884 trade dollar was offered
for sale. 1t Was bought in by ].
Brenner. DeKalb. who thought it a
rare bargain at $3.50. Only five of the
coins are in existence, SO far as is
known.
A copper cent of the date OF 1893
is not TO be sneered at. Ben G. Green
got one at the sale for $3.50 and APP
peared to be happy with his prize.
Two other cents of the year 1856. with
a flying design one COPIED and the other
nickel, were purchased by Mr.. Green
for $31 and $3.50 respectively. These
were said to be the highest prices on
record for similar coins.

Fiance.

Chicago, Dec, "Wednesday wind

Thanksgiving day blessing by one
couple, John J. Foley and Miss jose
phine Barker, of Ohio. Through a
collision on the sidewalk both were hur.
rying along with bent heads, each re-
cognlzed in the other a childhood sweet
heart whose parents had prevented
marriage. Each had been looking
for the other for four years without sue
cess. Foley. who is employed in the
printing plant of r. r. Donnelly, was
walking hurriedly when he collided
with and knocked down young wo-
man. He stopped to pick up the vic
tim, and the eyes of both met. "Why
Josephine" exclaimed Foley, rs that
really you?" The young woman STAN
mered. Yes John, at last we have met.
Foley accompanied Miss Barker to the
residence OF mutual friends. where the
announcement was made that the
long-delayed wedding would be celebrs
ed in short time. Miss Barker and
Foley formerly lived in Windsor, Cana
da. When the young man was 10 year

interferred, however, and the young wo
man was sent to Europe Foley soon

Night Riders Refuse to Allow

siderable excitement was created here
this morning by a rumor of more night
rider troubles or an outbreak of the
old troubles in tie lake region. The
story was brought by a number OF
fisherman who lives on Caney Island
and who came here TO sell fish for the

They report that tile pickets at a
saw mill near Port Rankin, or within
a mile and a half of Samburg, were fir
ed upon by night riders, but the fish
erman did not know whether any of
the men were shot or not. They said
tie shooting began at 10 o'c.ock last
night. and Continued with little inter-

Magistrate Sold the County
Locust Posts.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 2.-Governor
Wilson this morning pardoned Sam
B. Campbell, Of Washington county.
campbell, who is Magistrate, was
indicted for the offense Of being inter-
ested In contrac to furnish locust post
for county bridge. The fine for such
an offense Is from $500 to $1,000.
The evidence before the Governor show
ed that Campbell was not guilty Of
any wrong whatever. The locust posts
were needed and no offer of less than
800 to furnish them was received by
the Court. Campbell said that was
too high, as he had posts on his
farm that he would sell for $50, but
he would not like to do so. as he was
a member of the Court. He was assur
ed by the County Judge and County
Attorney that there could be no
harm In it, especially as he was saw
ing the county $50. He then furnished
the posts and was indicted for this
technical violation of the law.
