Farming is moving out at a rushing
rate out. in east Texas and west Beaver
counties.
A great desl of esrly farming is be-
ing done between Guymon and Dalhart.
P b we sped westward over the F t
Worth & Denver we could but observe
how fast the little farmer is crowdinr
the sheep and cattle man to the waft.
We reached Colorado Springs in the T ^
midst of a great snow storm, but i'Tn...
the clouds cleared away a strange new
luster seemed to be added to these
great monuments of strength that
hovers about this beautiful city.
We feel that it is a delight to farm
in the famous "No Man's Land" and
it seems to me that it will in no dis-
tant day become the surpassing gran-
ary of the west, siill the little canyons
about this little city are very fruitful
and produce abundant crops of vege-
tables and plums and many other fruits
grow well here.
Saratoga, San Antonis, Little Rock
and Eureka do not exceed in natural
neauty and splendor as well as sim-
plicity of homes, virtue of mineral
water and excellency of society than
this place as a health and pleasure re-
sort.
We find your former correspondent
Mrs. Ruth 3. Wright doing fairly well
and we think the outings in the moun-

restore her to health.

Do You Appreciate Service;
Do You Approve of Every Man Doing."
His Duty?
Did you ever stop to consider that the Librral,
Gray and Ochiltree Ni< il and Passenger line is a .
very essential enterprise for the patrons and towns |
along the route? Think back to the nail service
before the present line was established and v u be-
lieve you will concede that the present mail service \
to you is far superior to the old way. It was
through the efforts of the parties owning and cp- j
erating the line that the present mail and passenger
service was established.
It takes considerable equippment as well as finan-
ces to keep our lines in operation.
You can depend upon us as we go.every day ex-
cept Sunday.
We appeal to you lo stop and think a moment. If
you will consider the fact that our mail contracts do
not anywhere near pay our expenses, you will rec-
ognize the fact that it is necessary that the travel-
ing public give us liberal patronage in o: der that
we may continue the service that neans so much
to the people of this section and the traveling pub-
lic. When a sit angci asks you how to jet tc the
railroad who do you send bin. to?
