We will venture to say Roger Mills
County bas the biggest little sheriff of
any other county In the State and
bis fame is still spreading— Hammon
Advocate
Last Sunday week twenty-five rela-
tives of Uncle Perry Taylor gathered
at bis home west of Cbeyeone and
while one or two kept Uncle Perry
busy in conversation the others
spread dinner in the grove near the
house and when everything was in
readiness invited him to dinner The
boys had purchased for him a big
fine rocker which they had placed in
the grove and when he arrived on the
scene and discovered tbe fine spread
and rocker he acknowledged that he
was greatly surprised and that the
children had “put one over”
Four generations were represented
at the reunion and all of his children
were present as well as grand children
and great grand children Uncle
Perry informed jusytlmt the day- was
one of’ the most enjoyable be had
spent in years
Uncle Perry is seventy-nine years
old and a Pioneer citizen of this coun-
i
ty coming here in an early day from
Texas and is perhaps one of the most
widely known men in this section of
the state He was a confederate sol-
dier is a Jeffersonian Democrat and
a hardshell Baptist Such a combi-
nation shows conclusively that in re-
ligion he wprships his Creator in
politics votes for equal rights and for
tho betterment of humanity and as a
soldier shot for what he believed to'
be right and just Mr Taylor bas
decided opinions on any subject and
is generally right His soldier record
and the side he participated with
coupled with his record as a Demo-
crat strikes the Sentinel pencil pusher
just right The good Lord made few
better men than Uncle Perry Taylor
The Sentinel wishes for Uncle Perry
many more as pleasant and enjoyable
days
Ball Game Monday
The ball 'game Monday between the
“leans” and County Officers was by
far the best game this season The
“leans” extracted three scores while
the County Officers failed to push one
man over the plate However the
County Officers played a good game
and made only two errors that cost
them the price of the game which
were that they failed to score and they
didn’t keep the leans from scoring
The final score was “Leans” 3 Coun-
ty Officers 0
We understand the same line-up is
to play again In a short lime

The prospects for big business la
Cheyenne this fall never was better

ly cultivating their productive soil to
assist nature in every way possible to
bring forth the greatest of all yields
The dry weather has damaged the
wheat and oats crop but other crops
such as corn cotton kaffir maize
broom corn etc are in good condi-
tion and a rain in a few days will
i
assure many of the crops This
county in particular will be' the one
among all others to profit by the
richness of the golden grain after the
harvest is ended this fall Cheyenne
will be in readiness with her railroad
on August 1st to receive this enor-
mous crop of products which will be-
gin to pour into Cheyenne from every
