Fun SlA1E SENA1ON.
To the voters of Lincoln County:
/ am q candidate for the office of
state senator from this county, sub
ject to the approval Of the republic
can voters at the Primaries to be
held next June.
/ believe In such economy In county
and state affairs as shall be consis-
tent with u proper progress and de-
velopment.
/ believe In the abolition of all such
Offices a. are not necessary for the
proper conduct Of the affairs Of
state.
I believe that the duties of public
elected and that fees for deputies
should be allowed only when It can
be satisfactorily shown that such
officers, after devOting their entire
time to their official duties, absolute
ly require assistance.
Some OF our present laws have been
found materially defective and / be-
lieve In such remodeling of these as
to make their meaning clear and cure
the deficiencies In them. II
/ believe that n of the most Inn
pOrtAnt duties Of the next legislature
Is the procuring of just Intra-State
freight and express rates and the ex-
erCising Of such influence as Is posi-.
BILE to secure just interstate rates.
These are but q few of the modi6.
cations which should be made In our
present laws, and II nominated and
elected, ! pledge to you my best eff
forts TO secure their enactment and
such other conservative legislation as
shall conduce to the best intrests of
our state.
/ futher believe that under existing
conditions each aspirant for this office
should inform the public In detail
what he expects to accomplish II cleo
ted and hence I shall make an effort
to meet with you in public and dis
cuas these and other propositions.
I thank my friends for their past
favors and shall appreciate their sup
port and that Of every voter who be-
1ieves / can serve him properly and
~ef1ciently In this Office.

STRAY" Sales of Texas

One OF the interesting sights for visitors
in the ordinary Texas range" town is the
monthly live stock sale at public auction
In each county the unique custom prevails
OF holding q sale Of stray ponies and cat
tie the first Monday of each month. The
"strays" are animals that have wandered
away from their own pastures or grazne
grounds and have been taken up by some
rancher or farmer and driven to the
county capital the first Monday of the
month. IL the owner of the lost and found
animal has not come TO claim his own
But not all the stock driven TO the stray
sale are strays Many horse traders and
cowpunchers go TO market with ponies AMI
cattle to swap or TO sell. Every county
capital has It's public square. and there
on the first Monday the sale takes place
As early as o'clock the place is crowded
by a molly array OF horses. traders, cow
punchers, stock ralsers and owners Of
strayed or stolen ponies or cattle. II a
man finds there some OF his cattle which
have been taken up and posted by some
one, he has only to prove his claim, pay
the small charge which Is held against
him for the trouble OF driving the animals
