SELLS 80 CARS OF
BALED BEAR GRASS
Midland Votes to Re-Incor-
porate-Well Proves a
Costly Failure.

Midland, Texas, Jan 9Th. NJ. Hor-
ton, who ranches a few miles south
east of Midland, has made a contract
in st. Louis to deliver at various sta
lions along the T. & P. railroad so car
loads of bear grass. The grass is to
be gathered, dried and baled in 100
pound bales. The baled bear grass
brings $12 a ton here ready for ship
ment.
This grass is found in abundance all
over the south plains country, and so
far has been considered worthless.
Horton says it is now wanted for the
strong fiber it contains. Owners Of
land on which the grass grows wild
expect to realize from 81 to 81 per
acre for the land by reason of this
new enterprise.
E. H. Leache, of Philadelphia, Pa,
is here to spend several months pur-
chasing and training polo ponies to
take north with him in the spring.
g. Ingle today completed his con-
tract with Henry NJ Half, of this
city, by reaching a depth of 1000 feet
in a well at Upland, Upton county,
Texas, which he has been drilling for
oil, gas or artesian water. While he
reports several strong streams of water
in the first 500 feet, after that he
found nothing of value The last 500
feet was in solid rock salt. Mr. Ingles
contract called for SIS a foot Mr. Halff
was to furnish the casing and to
freight the fuel for drilling from Mid
land to Upland. The well cost him as
it stands approximately $4,000.
An election was held here to deter
mine whether Midland should reincor-
porate. 1t resulted in a very large
majority vote for incorporating. The
new city will embrace four full sec
tions. including nearly all of the plot
ted additions to the town, and will
take in many handsome homes and
improved places situated heretofore
just beyond the corporate limits
An election will be held as soon as
possible for city officers and all city
ordinances will be reenacted

BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTION

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious of all diseases. It
begins in an insignificant manner,
usually the appearance of tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of its
presence. But down In the blood the
freacherous infection is at work, and
In a short time its chain of symptoms
begin to crop out. The mouth and
throat ulcerate, skin eruptions break
out, sores and ulcers appear on the
body, the glands in the groin swell,
and sometimes the hair comes out.
Mineral medicines cannot cure Con-
stitutional Blood Poison; they only
shut the disease up in the system to
shoulder and await an opportunity of
breaking out afresh. The only pos
sible way to cure the disease is to
REMOVE the germs from the blood.
S. S. S. goes into the blood, and while
removing the infection makes the
blood pure, fresh and healthy. This

A few weeks ago mass meeting
was held at New England. The meet
ing was called for the purpose OF
discussing the proposition of bonding
the village for $500 to build a city
park. The citizens voted to have the
parek. Before the adjustment of the
meeting the secretary asked one ofthe
trustees who was present if the board
would not want a petition or resolu-
ton from the meeting calling upon
the board to call the bond election.
The trustee replied, Well l don't
know of anyone in town who is not
present at this meeting and every
body has voted in favor of the bonds.

ton.

eminent mail contracts to numerous
other towns, including Dickinson.
Later Mr.. Gardner ventured into
the mercantile business. He made
money and lots of it. And every cent
of it was invested in New England

Since the railroad reached New
England last November there has been
no let up in the building operations.
A fine depot, roundhouse, pumping
station, coal dock, water tanks and
several other railroad buildings were
put up during the winter months and
the same is true of the new Catholic
church, the Bageley elevator, the large
lumber shed of the Murphy-Merrick
company, and several residences.
New England was organized as a

At a mass meeting of the business

amount will be provided by the VIII
