r. w. Osborn has returned to
Roseland after a few weeks stay
in Deming, New Mexico. where,
with his son, Retus, he went on a
prospecting tour, arriving late Sat.
urday night of last week, and his
friends were glad TO meet him next
day and hear him relate his adven-
lures and expatiate about the beau
ty and products of that wonderful
far-off country. Mr.. Osborn. who
has had many years experience as
a tiller of the soil, is a close OBJ.
server, and from his talk We judge
that he is greatly pleased with the
country and the people he met, and
should he be able to dispose of his
property interests later on, he may
eventually move there the Garden
of Eden.
Deming is a flourishing town be-
tween 5000 and 1000 inhabitants.
1t has all modern improvements,
and the water is claimed to be the
purest on earth, with plenty of it.
Land is high and wages are also.
The people are law abiding. pros
porous and happy, and educational
facilities of the best, and fruits of
all kinds grow in abundance.
Mr.. Osborn speaks in glowing
terms of the country, and has the
"Deming fever" but we would
regret to lose him from Roseland.
He left his son Retus down there.
and says DR.. Johnson. of Amite.
who went to FL Paso, Texas, for his
health, has grown strong and rug

Re.Recording of Brand.
Important Notice to Cattle Men and
Stock Owners.

Important Noiice 10 Cattle Men and
Stock Owners.
In consequence of the great number
of brands now on record in the Office of
The Cattle Sanitary Board. not now in
actual use, the State Legislature has
passed law requiring all owners of re-
corded brands to re-record their brands
within period of six months, com
mencing on Sept. 10, 1912. A failure
upon the part of each holder Of a re
corded brand to re-record his brand in
the time required by law, forfeits all
right of further use. In n short time
circular letters together with proper
blanks for sending in renewals to the
Office of the Cattle Sanitary Board will
be sent out to each holder of brands
now of record. To facilitate this work
as much as possible, and to avoid the
lapsing of brands, il is earnestly re-
quested that all parties now having re-
corded brands, upon receipt of proper
blanks from this Office, send in their re-
nawals with the least possible delay.
