HOGS TO LOWER TEXAS.
Randall County Raisers Ship Pigs and Hogs
For Consumption by Farmers in
Erath County

That the Panhandle of Texas
and Randall county in particular
is capable of raising hogs as a
profitable crop" is clearly
shown by the large number of
inquiries which are coming from
Central and East Texas to this
county for these animals. These
inquiries are widely spread over
that portion of the state and go
show that our swine have al
ready gaineda notoriety both for
number and for quality.
A couple of weeks ago John A.
Wallace of this city shipped one
car of fat hogs to Fort Worth
which brought five cents per
cwt. on that market more than
any other hogs sold that day in
the same class, and at the same
time he took a car of pigs and
shoats on down to Stephenville,
in Erath county. Having previ-
ouSly advertised that he would
be at that place on certain Fri
day and Saturday, when he ar
rived he found wagons there
from all parts of the county al
most and the entire carload was
disposed of long before the de-
mand was satisfied.
Mr.. Wallace received a very
large price for these pigs and
was encouraged to bring another
car of them down which he eX-
poets to do, leaving here next
Monday. He will take some fat
tened hogs also on account of or
ders which he has received.
If you will sit down and figure
up the expense of raising pigs
up to about fifty pounds in
weight you will readily see the
immense profit that can be safe
ly made from them. This coun-
try is entirely free from hog dis
eases. So far as we have heard
there is not any deaths from dis
ease in this county, therefore
there is nothing to prevent the
farmers from raising MANY of
them each year.

LOCAL MAN IS CONFIDENT.
John Knight Expresses Belief in Future Of Ran
dali County by Buying Land
Good Price Paid.

From time to time we have Civ
en- reports in the columns of
this paper of the entire confid-
ence which the citizens of this
county have in the lands here
and the future development of
the land as an agricultural posi-
bility.
This week John Knight who
has lived in Randall County for
more than eighteen years has
very materially expressed his
sentiments when he purchased
from w. F.. Heller, 172 acres of
land lying southwest of this city
paying therefor the sum of S14,-
10000 or a little more than
eighty-three dollars per acre.
There are no improvements other
than the fencing on the property
and about forty acres in cult
walton.
Mr.. Knight has always been a
believer in this country and has
never failed to show his contid-
ence when the opportunity af-
forded, but he realized that if
he ever secured land near town
now was the time to take advan-
tage of the opportunity when
lands could be secured at even
the present prices as he realized
that it would not be long before
all the lands would be much
higher than at present.
Mr.. Knight owns other lands
close to town and thinks that any
person who invests in property
in Randall county will be sure
for very material increase with
in a short time not to speak of
the good crops which could be
raised in the meantime.

every person in the county en-
gagged in public school work as
well as many others will attend
the institute. The institute will
remain in session until Thursday

Store Of Man.

He comes into this world with
out his consent, and goes out
against his will, and the trip be-
tween the two is exceedingly
rocky. The rule of the contra
ries is one of the important feat
ures of the trip.
When he is little the big girls
kiss him; but when he is grown
the little girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is a bad mana
ger; if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs credit, he can't get
it; if he is prosperous, everyone
wants to do him a favor.
If he's in politics, it's for pie;
if he's out of politics, you can't
place him and he's no good for
his country.
If he doesn't give for charity,
he's a stingy cuss; if he does, it's
for show.
If he is actively religious, he is
a hypocrit; if he takes no inter
est in religion, he is a hardened
sinner.
If he shows affection he is a
soft specimen; if he seems to
care for no one, he is cold blood
ed.
If he dies young, there was a
great future ahead of him. If he
lives to an old age he has missed
his calling. Life.

HIGHER AND HIGHER.
Brick Masons Are Rushing the Wall Of the Top
Floor Of the Court House-It Shows
Up Well.

The reporter was out in the
outer portion of the city last
Tuesday and took a look at our
new court house from that van
tage point and he wants to say
that it begins to loom up about
right. The contractors have been
laying every available brick dur
ing the last few days of pretty
weather, and the east side of the
building is practically completed
to the top of the windows on the
third and top floor. The brick
walls, however, extend four feet
higher than these windows and
on top of that comes the cOrnice
of terra Gotta four feet in
heighth. The other walls are
being laid as rapidly as the large
force of workmen can do the
work, as the contractors desire
to finish the brick work on the
main building by January LIST,
The building begins to show
from the east side the correct
lines of a beautiful building and
in the opinion of the reporter it
will be prettier than the perspec-
tive showed it to be, The court
room, which is on the third floor,
will be large and commodious
and the ceiling will be twenty
feet in heighth.
The contractors, Messrs. Gill
coat and Skinner, claim that it
will take them about twenty days
to place all the roofing timber,
after which work on the inside
finishing will be begun and
rushed.

HIS INCONSISTENCY .aA
p. L. Flanagan told the workngmen of Reno that he vas their
friend.
FIanigan's record in the Nevada Senate brands him as labors
enemy, for he worked against and helped kill the eighthour bills.
Confronted by his record he told the farmers o. Lovelock that he
fought labor to protect their interests, which were threatened by the
eighthour bills.
The eighthour bill became a law in spite Of Flanagan. 1t was
declared constitutional in spte Of Flanagan. 1t has been in force or
five years.
The farmers are still safe.
The farmers cannot find anything threatening them or heir n
terests in the eighthour law.
Because there isn't anything there.
Assembly bill No. II that Flanagan killed is entitled:
"An Act Regulating the Hours Of Employment in Underground
Mines and Shelters and Ore Reduction Works and Providing Penal
ties Therefor"
Assembly Bill No. S5 that Flanagan killed is entitled:
AN Act Regulating the Hours Of Employment of Operators o. En-
gineers of Mining Hosts and Providing Penalties for Violation
Threeof"
Flanagan deceived the laborers Of Reno. He deceived the farmers
of Loveock.

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen-
uine testimonials as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmananydaymay
see the files containing over one mil.
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.
