FRIENDS.

! Friends are the springs at which We
refresh ourselves in the pilgrimage
called living, at which we drink life sus.
tanning, soul cheering draughts, and it is
the best of good fortune when our path
way lies among those that are deep and
cannot be dried up by the parching sun
OF 1versity nor drained by Our eager
thirst, though we linger near them long
and draw from them again and again.
They must also be pure and sweet, SO
thus truly to be an unmixed good. Some
Of these springs we find all ready for our
coming, while others, deserted through
indications of possibilities, we bring to
the full light OF day by clearing away
intervening impediments by our own
personal endeavors. And, in gratitude
for all that they are to US, we should
seek to leave them richer than we found
them, beautitied by the flowers of our
love and respect with kind services done,
that shall be like vines planted whose
branches and foliage shall weave around
them, a lasting network that shall make
them the lovelier for our coming.
Friends are the worlds premiums
offered for Il; correct life and grand and
lovely character; an incentive to great
ness and goodness the reward Of help
fulness.
Friends are a mirror in which we can
see ourselves reflected, since it is just as
true that we can be judged of by their
rank and quality as that water seeks its
level or that birds of a feather flock
together"
Friends are the best riches Of life here
below an a part of our treasurer laid up
in heaven is the meeting Of ~friends.
1t is truth worth remen4 ag that
the best way to secure good, valuable
friends is to be one.

THE FARMER FEEDS THEM ALL

The politician talks and talks,
The actor plays his part,
The soldier glitters on parade
The goldsmith plies his art,
The scientist pursues his germs
Ger this terrestrial ball.
The sailor navigates his ship,
But the farmer feeds them all.
The preacher pounds the pulpit desk,
The broker reads his tape
The tailor cuts and sews his cloth
To fit the human shape,
The dame Of fashion dressed in silk
Goes forth to dine or call,
Or drive, or dance, or promenade,
But the farmer feeds them all.
The workman yields his shining tools
The merchant shows his wares,
The aeronaut above the clouds
His dizzy journey dares,
But art and science soon would fade,
And commerce dead would fall,
If the farmer ceased to reap and SOW,

The indications are that the great
ranches of Texas will, in the course of a
very few years, disappear. Some of
them are very large, containing hum
dreds of thousands of acres. Recently
a syndicate purchased number of these
ranches that adjoin each other. The
syndcate's purchase contains 1000. 900
acres, estimated to be worth at least
$4,000, 900. One of the ranches pur-
chased belonged to Mrs. H. NJ. King, and
consists of 1885, 900 acres. That is one
Of the largest, if not the very largest,
"a .lch in Texas.
1t is believed that the syndicate is
composed of men interested in new rail-
roads that are to be constructed through
Texas Their purpose is to cut the
ranches up into small farms and sell
them to coonists, They have planned
to invite colonists from Europe and from
various parts of this country. If the
lands are as productive as they are be-
lieved to be they will give the railroads
passing through them vast amount OF
business in the very near future.
But what will the cattle owners do for
grazing fields' Will not there have to
be adopted new methods for growing
cattle? 1t is doubtful if there will ever
be another method by which beef can be

duced. If cattle are raised on farms
and fed with grain the cost of meat will
undoubtedly advance greatly. Grass

Perkins County Landed as One
of the Prize Winners in the
Agricultural Exhibits.

Perhaps one of the happiest indivi-
duals that happened when the prizes
in the county agricultural. exhibit
| were awarded was Dave Braught. of
Lennon and who also retains some
hold on the city of Mitchell. The
particular cause for Dawes happiness
was the fact that Perkins county was
one of the prizewinnerr. Not the best
nor the second best. but the nj W
c unity got a place in the contest, and
| hat was much more tnan they ex-
pected when the managers arranged
for the exhibit. Lennon is in Perkins
county and to come to the corn pala e
and land one of the prizes among
some OF the Older settled counties of
Braught was exceedingly proud of.
| He went back home Thursday might,
| and you may rest assured that MIR.
! Braught will let everybody know
what Perkins county got at the corn
pal ace.
| The exhibit is in charge Of j. A.
Stoner, of Lennon, and when he got
his stuff all spread out and arranged
with much taste, it was evident u al
something had been doing up Il
Perkins county. This county ii 81
be l.e neltbered, Was just or nized
list winter when the legislature c.e,
ated it out of the large county oI
Butte along with Harding county.
| Another fact in connection with
| Perkins county is that it is the second
crop which has been produced up
that way and Perkins county has ev-
cry reason to be proud of its conquest
The best that Mr.. Stoner expected to
get out of the exhibit was an OPP
portunity to hand out some adyertis-
| ing matter and to let the people see
that crops could be prodnced up il
that untry.
Lennon is attracting some attention
at the present time owing to its being
selected as one of the places where the
people can 60 and register for chance
