Noted Visitors in Town.

Last Saturday Hon. L. ]. Petty
john of the Dodge City U. S. Land
office and Doctor Milton of Dodge
City, with their wives came over into
Meade, In an auto. They had
two-fold object in making this visit.
Mrs. Milton is one OF our pioneer
folk, being the daughter of Judge
w. D. Hudson, and having been
known as one of our best school
teachers, she wanted to see the old
time friends and greet them again,
and the old homestead of her father
also deal to her as her girlhood home
and she wished to see that again.
The other object, which she and her
husband shared in common with
Mr.. and Mrs. Pettyjohn, was that
the fame of the beautiful artesian
valley had reached them as it has
most places and persons of the west
and as all of them knew it in its old
time aspect of primitive loneliness
they wished to again visit it and
note the changes made by time and
the hand of man.
They came down the old trail as
near as present fences would per-
nit and struck the valley at Will
burn. To use the words of Mrs.
| Hudson it is one continuous pic
turesque, buautiful valley from Will
burn to Meade.
The whole party were enraptured
by the beauty of the scene in general
and especially by the fine homes
and farms passed. And while the
advancement of Meade was known
to them by report they were aston
ishment at the progress made in
building and business,
Mr.. Pettyjohn has been Receiver
at the U. S. Land office at Dodge
for about eleven years, and is known
all over the district. He is pleas
ant and entertaining companion and
interested in every point and parcel
of the material advancement of the
district combined with that his fair:
ness, good judgement and kindly
sympathy with the homesteader
whose trials, and difficulties he is
familiar with having himself been a
pioneer, make him the most popular
official in the land Office has had,
at least in our knowledge of it since
1886.
/ Each one of the visitors were en-
thusiasticiy greeted by their many
friends here, who each and every one
asked an early reputation of the
call.

The Plains Journal returns thanks
for the late rains which is not only
right and an exhibition of a correct
devotional spirit, but perfectly
legitimate and laudable acknowledge
ment of the source of all blessings.
1t also shows the state of mind of
one unacquainted with the glorious
kingdom of Meade. The Journal
is thankful in the same hreathless
and profuse way that a man may be
supposed to express his feelings
when a 1.3-inch shell lands under
him and fails to explode. He has
in his mind, just by hairs breadth
and by the interposition of divine
providence, escaped total annihila-
ton. To one acquainted with the
great opportunities of this county
and Its past results in crops, that
looks little queer. But it is easy
to remember when that sort of feel
ing was common. Now Mr.. Jour-
nal, in the future have faith and
thank God for daily blessings here
just as you did in the east where
your blessings came so much as a
matter of course that you possible
failed to be thankful at all. There
is less want, less lack of the neces-
saries of life, here than in the east.
For more than twenty years "seed
time and harvest" have been annual
events in Meade county. AS in
other portions of the country every
crop planted has not always return.
