Little Elizabeth became ilI
about a week ago with a serious
complication Of diseases and suf-

days, lingering between llfe and
death, at times getting very low
and then rallying. But the strong
arm OF the disease had too firm a
hold on her frail little body. and
all that medical skill and loving
care could do was not sufficient

death came 10 her at 3 O'Clock.

A BIG LAND DEAL CLOSED
Hundred Thousand Dollar Land
Deal Closed Always Some
thing Doing in Lubbock

Last Saturday there was closed
one of the biggest real estate
deals that has been made in this
section Of the country for some
time, which goes to show that
there is something doing in this
section Of the plains, the deal in
question amounted 10 the neat
sum Of 500, 900.
The deal consisted of j. w.
Dalton holdings twelve miles
east of town. and the purchas-
ers were b. O. McWhorter, C.E.
Parks, Colby, Thomas and w.
X. Dickinson, all Of this place.
IL is not known at this time
what these gentlemen are going
to do with this land. as they are
undecided at this writing them
selves, Just what disposition they
will make Of il, but il is safe 20
say that they will use it in a way
that the country will reap direct
benefit, and shows that they
have the greatest faith in this
country.
Business along the line of real
estate seems 20 have taken on
renewed hfe. as there has been
some good deals consumated dur
ing the past thirty days, that
would suggest such. The people
of this section Of the plains have
the utmost confidence i'm the
future of country. and IL Is for
this reason that these men have
invested their money in Lubbock
county lands, knowing that DC
will be- a safe investment % say
the least Of il.

Every one interested in the

that a packing house would help.
Not only this, but many other
enterprises that might be secur-

Every town that has succeeded
has done so through the estab-
lishment Of institutions that
keep money at home and in cir
culation.
The ultimate destiny Of the
Plains is that il will eventuate
into a stock farm. This will call
for a packery at home. Now is

Manager Ellis informs Us Ice

Next Week by Ice Plant

The latest information from
the ice factory at this place is to
the effect they will be prepared
to begin the manufacture Of ice
by the first of next week. This
will be good news to the people
Of this section as the time of year
is rolling around when the ice
man will be a welcome visitor,
every day in the week, and
every day in the month except
pay day.
The Lubbock Ice and Light
Company is composed Of entirely
home capital, men who are in
terested in the future Of the city,
who have spent their money
literally to develop the town.
They have succeeded in putting
into operation one Of the finest
electric light plants in the west,
and they are going TO do as much
for the ice plant. Rest assured
that the people Of Lubbock will
not be satisfied with anything
short of the best and with this
assurance at hand Lubbock peo-
pie can depend on having the
very best service possible.
The completion Of the ice plant
at this place will put the ice
in our neighboring
towns in handy access 20 the
trade. and will no doubt ap-
Jreciate the arrangement very
much.
