Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Meeks, of
Logan, were visitors in Tucumcari
Monday.
&. II. Hittson has purchased the en-
tire Choat herd of milk cows and will
| offer the same for sale in lots and on
terms to suit purchaser.
] will be among the farmers Of
the plains and agricultural districts
soon. Will leave Tucumcari Thurs
day this week. Am writing hail in
urance. Last time around; better he
safe than sorry.
We understand that Judge I.ieb was
highly pleased with the workings of
the grand jury and was not backward
in telling them so. He said this jury
handled it's work better all around and
was more satisfactory to him than
any jury which has worked before
him in this district this season.
A train load of race horses passed
through here yesterday on their way
to Denver. A large number Of men
accompanied them in coaches and they
| stopped here to feed and water the
horses. While in town the Glenrock
Cafe sold about $1,000 worth of sand
wiches and business was good around
the saloons.
j. T.. Pennington, b. j. Smith, ]. NJ.
Smith, Luther Woford, all of Floyd
county, Texas, we're here Saturday
looking for lands. They went north
to the Roy and Mills country but ex-
pect to return to Tucumcari and To-
cate rear this town because Of the cx-
ira good market facilities.
Hundreds of fruit and shade trees
have been set out this year in Tucum-
carl and vicinity and in a few years
will add greatly to the beautiful sur
roundings OF the best city in this sec
ton of New Mexico. Nothing makes
u person feel more at home than u
beautiful lawn set with nice shade
trees or "a farm that has a nice living
orchard.
BULLS-Five yearling and one five
year old registered Shorthorn bulls

The o. +. S. held It's regular meet
ing Tuesday night and after the lodge
work was done "A program was rem
dered by the past matrons and patrons
which was highly enjoyed. Refresh
ments were served ut a late hour and
the evening was one Of pleasure al
though the weather was threatening
and kept a number away who would
have been in attendance.
c. II. Hittson purchased u large herd
of cows while out in the McAlister
neighborhood last week. These cows
will be brought to the Hittson ranch
east of town, where they will be put
on sale. Cows have been selling at
good prices all winter and spring and
this will perhaps be IA good chance for
those wishing to do so to buy a good
family COW reasonable.
FOR SALE-House and lot at an
extremely low price; also nice span
Of mules reasonable.
If w. II. Salyers, Blacksmith
James Hall left this week for the
plains country and will be gone sew
eral days. He is writing hail insur-
ance and will no doubt do "a big bust
ness, because of the fact that the To-
cal farmers lose more money every
season by hail than from any other
n cause.
DR.. Herring and c. ii. Hittson went
out to McAlister last week and pur-
chased u wheat farm of 100 acres. This
does not imply that they will move
to same soon but they know IA good
thing and when they see it they take
advantage Of the opportunity and put
their money into something that will
pay them ten fold. The best wheat
land in the county is in that n%eighbor-
hood and they no doubt got u good
l60-acre farm.
