Last Thursday afternoon in
the Office of the County Judge,
Jno. K. McGee spoke the cere-
mony that bound together the
two lives of Mr.. David H..
Benckert and Miss Ella Kilgrove.
Mr.. Benckert has been in Lub-
book several months and has a
number of friends who congratu-
late him in the taking into him.
self a helpmate.
Miss kilgrove was in Lubbock
visiting her sister and become
acquainted with Mr.. Benckert
and the match was made. Her
home was at Hamlin and we
understand was one of the most
popular young ladies of that
vicinity.
They at once began house.
keeping on north second street
where they are at home to their
friends.

hbou, Fire Guards

In years gone by the wise
ranchman had his pasture sur
rounded by well kept fire guards.
which he depended upon TO keep
his range from being entirely
burned off by prairie fires. In
the past few years since the big
ranches have been cut down to
small pastures. the owners are
not 50 careful about keeping the
guards plowed and burned of.
and as a result there is great
danger of very destructive fires
this fall and winter. Prairie
fires in this section Of the country
are very destructive. especially
when the range is covered with
a heavy coat Of grass as il is this
year. The grass on the prairie
may not be- the exten, Of the
loss. You may lose all the feed
that you have raised and gather
ed during the year and your
barn could burn down with your
fine stock therein and your resi-.
dence might be- fired by q rolling
weed or blowing grass. IL b.
the time of year that the great
esi precauuon should be- used.
and the advise from us N Needed

The pipe for the mains is ar

three car loads having been re-
ceived to date and distributed
over town. This part of the
work has been greatly delayed
on account of the inability of the
factories to supply the material
on short notice. The order is
being filled however as fast as
possible ana other consignments
will arrive soon and be unloaded
IN the city. There will likely not
be much further delay and the
work will no doubt open up in
good shape within a few weeks.

The Lubbock County exhibit
of Agricultural products is now
en- route and will be there IN
ample time to be properly ar
ranged in the exhibition building
of the Great State Fair The eX-
hibit this year Is the finest that
has ever been sent from this
place. II is "A very fine collect
ion of the many products Of the
soil that this county willproduce.
The exhibit is one that would be
credit 10 any farming country
in the state under conditions that
have existed all over the state
this season we have been telling
the readers of this paper all the
wear that we have the best show
ing of any other section of the
state right here on the South
Plains. and We venture the as
.artion taat there will bee some
premiums come this way at the
close Of the fair
There was only one drawback
o. the Lubbock county exhibit
this year and that was the fact
that the time was too short 10
get over the country 10 get a
fair sample Of what was really
raised in this part Of the plains
country. The farmers did not
have time % get the produce
here after they were aware Of
the fact that there was going %
be- an exhibit from this county
For awhile lt looked as though
there were nothing dong. so our
farmer friends, or many OF them
az least. did not BRING anything
in. On the spur of the moment
however TWO or three huStlers
got busy sure enough and a fund
was raised sufficient TO place an
exhibit IN the fair building and
the work of gathering same was
done within three days. which
required hustling and Of course
some of the best produce was
not brought in at all. However
as stated above the exhibit will
be a very creditable one. and
Lubbock County will get a
wonderful amount of good ad-
vertising out Of the proposition.

another feature about the fair

that is to have the managers Of

COTTON TURNS OUT WELL
South Plains Cotton Shows up
We'll to People who Know
Whereof, They Speak

Cotton being ginned by the
Lubbock gins is turning out
splendidly, and the quality is
good. Up TO the present time il
is more than thirding itself
The following is what an ex-
perienced cotton raiser has to say
about cotton on the South Plains.
Mr.. c. p. Sanders has resigned
his position as manager Of the c.
b. Live Stock Co., farm and will
work 27O acres of his own land
lying two miles northwest of
Crosbyton.
Mr.. Sanders has managed the
company farm of 2, 600 acres very
successfully during the past two
years and is conceded to be one
of the best farmers in the Plains
country.
My relations with the com
pany have always been pleasant,
said Mr. Sanders, and my resig-
nation was not caused by any
friction. merely wish TO attend
to my own farm. | have 270
acres in cultivation and | shall
put 200 acres Of it IN cotton next
year. | am going TO build two
tenant houses and will rent all |
DO not cultivate myself.
Speaking of cotton, ~ contin-
ued Mr.. Sanders, did YOU know
that Plains cotton turns out more
lint than black land cotton? Well,
il does. anyway. Fifteen hun
dred pounds Of Crosby county
seed cotton will often make a $50
pound bale of lint and will aver
age always 80 per cent lint, while
the black land cotton gins about
}2 per cent. Generally il takes
100 pounds of black land cotton
10 make a 500 pound bale. You
IAN readily see the great differ
snce this makes not only in the .
net yield TO the acre but in the .
expense Of picking, ginning and
Il raised cotton in the black
ands counties OF Texas for
.wenty years and | know what
he cotton raised there will turn
,ut. If you will ask Mr.. Rey-
lolds Of the Crosbyton gin he
sill tell YOU what the Crosby
.ounty cotton will turn out
An examination OF Mr.. Rey-
lolds' books bears out Mr.. San
Iers statement as TO Plains cot
on. and what he says of the
'exas black land cotton is well
.nown 10 be true.

the announcement of his death
was received as a severe shock
to the people of that place. al
though his health had been fall
ing for several months.

bereaved family its sincere SYM

caused by the death Of their
father.

/ Lubbock is soon TO have frs
class system of water works; thii
has been talked about a grea
deal in the past and the Ava
lanche has devoted much spac,
10 the question. We advocated
water works long before many
people awaked to the great i'm
portance of such. We supported
the issue when gwen an oppor.
tunity to vote on the question
and we are still doing all we can
10 get il into operation.
For several weeks after the
bonds were sold the proposition
was rather lost sight of and none
Of as could find out just what
was being done, not even the
city officials had a definite know
ledge Of when the work would
begin on that part Of it that had
been contracted for. The con-
tract for putting in the sewer
and water works was let TO the
same firm with the exception of
putting down the well and put
ting up the steel tank and cement
reservoir.
WHAT Is BEING DONE
Though great many people do
not know 1t, there is quite a good
deal already being done toward
the work. The well which the
