The appointment Of The Western
Windmill Company TO sell in this
community the new hardware and
sporting goods manufactured by the
Winchester Repeating Arms Compa-

Of leading merchants il Is one Of the
most interesting and important de-

known.

of the best type of American. Al
most every family seems to have pos

another, and the love and respect for
the good old gun is just about uni
versal. And now that recently there
have been may new additions 10 the
Winchester family" there is wide
popular interest in the new cousins
and other relatives of the famous re-
peating rifle.

! 900 ACRES LUBBOCK COUNTY
LAND FOR COLONIZATION

One OF the largest deals consum-
mated m the history Of Lubbock
county was made this week through
the real estate firm Of Sears and
Powell. when this company sold 49,
600 acres Of fine ranch land lying
about eight miles west Of town TO
eastern capitalists for colonization
purposes. The tract was cold out Of
W. l.. Ellwood's ranch and will be
put upon the market in very short
time in small tracts for farming pur-
poses.
Messrs. II. s. Belts. Y. " Terrell
and W. l.. Walker We're the buyers
Of this property and we are inform
ed that several thousand dollars
worth OF advertising will bee started
10 bring farmers TO this county to
settle on the new tract. Every foot
Of the entire tract is in Lubbock coun-

gun. And with the coming of smoke
less powder the Winchester Compa-
ny commenced the manufacture of
ammunition, to insure Winchester
users the best possible cartridges and
shot shells for their rifles and shot
guns. This proved to be an especial
ly good move; for The continued SUI
perior shooting qualities Of Winches-
ter arms have for many years been
partly attributed to ammunition be-
ing made for them il, the same plant,
by the same organization.
Now this great manufacturing es-
adjustment, tremendously expanded
IN The gigantic part It played in the
winning Of the World War. is appar-
emily branching out to make.all pos
sibie use of the additional knowledge,
experience, and equipment thus ac-
quired. New articles being made al
ready include tools. cutlery, fishing
tackle, flashlights, skates, etc. With
half a century of experience and
unexcelled equipment entering into
their production, II is TO be expected
that these new products, made in the
same skilled and workmanlike man.
ner as the famous Winchester guns
have been made for so long, will have
merit above the ordinary.
To the good fortune Of the many
old friends Of Winchester in the COM
munity who viii be the first to wish
TO examine these new articles. we
have here in town retail hardware
concern Of such high standing as
TO be one Of the first exclusively Sc
lected to present these new Winches-
ter products TO the buying public.
The agreement thus carries with il
the privilege and responsibility Aof
representing the manufacturer more
directly, than any retail merchant has
heretofore done in the case Of the
Winchester Company.

tended by the Winchester Company

TEMPERATURE LOWERS;
TWO SUITS DISAPPEAR

II may have been the sudden drop
in the temperature of few days ago
or il might have been the high cost
Of wearing apparel that tempted Pat
johnson Of this city to disappear with
two suits Of clothes belonging to
Jack Briley and John Harris. any
way. when Pat was arrested at
Sweetwater. he was found wearing
both suits. Mr. Harris and Mr.. Briley
had sent their clothing to a local tai
lor 10 have them cleaned and press
ed which work was finished in due
time and returned to the residence
where the boys had rooms. Directly
across The street Pat Johnson was
boarding and evidently witnessed the
return Of the clothing and there fell
for his temptation. The next day
when Mr.. Harris and -Briley had oc-
casion to look for their suits they
were missing and investigation found
the same thing had occurred to
johnson. Mr.. Holcomb was notified
and in turn he wired officers of
Sweetwatcr who arrested Johnson on
the charge Of theft and held him un-
til our sheriff could 20 and aecompa-
ny the young man back 10 our local
jail. He does not yet know whether
to have preliminary hearing or ask
for bond. He says he purchased the
suits from the men.
