Texas Letter.
Antelope, Jack Co., Tex.
August 30, 1902.
Editor Chandler News :
We are fifty miles south of Red
river and I want to say that if any
of the people who are dissatisfied
with old Lincoln county will make
the trip I have they will want to get
back as bad or worse than they got
away. Clay county, Texas, won't
average a bale of cotton to 20 acres
and it surely won't average one
bushel of corn to the acre planted.
I talked to one man who said he
hadn't made one grain of corn in two
years and he had a fine looking farm
and a good building too.
Where we are they have some
little corn, some like the upland corn
was with us last year. We will go
on sixty miles farther south and then
come back by the way of Cundiff.
John R. Shoop.
Guthrie would like to see him land
it. Recently his township, Iowa in
Lincoln county, held a convention
and endorsed him one hundred strong
for the place. It is not likely he
will have any opposition in his local-
ity. The crops are good and will
yield well. Politically he believes
the republicans will make a clean
sweep.—State Capital.
Pupil's Promotion Examination.
A pupil's promotion examination
will be held at the High school build-
ing on September 10th and 11th.
The purpose of the examination is to
give thoes who did not take the ex-
amination at the close of school in
May an opportunity to d > so now,
and also thoes who failed then, or
who have since done advance work.
This will be the last opportunity
given, as no examination will be
held after school begins. ,

'A"
and
The Weed Problem.
Nearly every newspaper is crying
"Cut your weeds." A couple of
Oneida farmers settled the weed
question. They plowed the ground
on the outer edge of their farms last
fall when work was getting pretty
slack and planted the ground in tim
othy. This year instead of the usual
crop of weeds, there is a nice crop
of timothy. The farmers will make
enough from the sale of the hay to
more than pay them for the work
they did.—Brown County World.
