All tllo horsemen, farmers,
traders and others of Altus aud

the big oolt Hiile of the Nebraska
Horse Anooifttioo «t the Friaoo
stock yards at 1 p. in. on "First

hold up hands utid be counted:
R. F. D. No. 6.
Mrs. J. L. Speer is visiting her
old home at Scliell City, Mo.
Albert Maichbanks and family
aro visiting at Crowell, Texas.
Alfalfa will have a new school
building ready tor next term of
school.
Rev. J. A. McKibbeu is con-
ducting u successful singing class
at Clabber Flat.
Loue Oak school district has
voted bonds and will soon have u
new school building.
Mr and Mrs. J. S. Hand are
the proud parents of a bouncing
girl Mother and babe are doing
well, and it is hoped Sain will
recover.
The White school district has
completed a new school building
which is quite an ornamei't as
well as a credit to the euterpris-
ing citizens.
Yes, there is always something
doiug on Route t>, and while we
have many thiugs to be thankful
for we also have something to
kick about, and we expect to
kick aud kick hard till our
wrongs are righted. We have a
kick against the railroads for we
worked hard to produce a canta-
loupe that would excell the fa-
mous Rocky Fords, and then af-
ter we had grown to perfection,
to think of the many car loade
that have gone to waste all on
accouut of highway robbery in
freight rates, It is hard to stand
but we will have to do the best
we can till we get statehood aud
our railroads are governed by a
commissioner. Then we will sup-
ply the world with cantaloupes,
aud charter special trains and
spin around the world like
Scotty. Aud we have a kick asl
big as au elephant about that iu-
famous court house at Mangum:
aud, by the way, we will say that
right shall prevail, and hereby
issue our prolamation that no
court house will be built.
Rev. \V. S. P. MeCulluugh, pre*
Hiding elder. Sritn« have thought
tliero would be a fifth quarterly
ei'.iiVrnucM this year, and tliiit is
iiolicu to all that there will not
be. All member* will ploaso
take nolico, and govern them-
selves accordingly. I'Iamb come
prepared to pay your fall sub-
scription for any department of
church work.
R. 0. Johnson,
Chairman Hoard of Steward*.
Old Greer Suits Him.
W. J. Evans, a prominent
farmer of Martha, returned last
week from a several weeka trip to
llallenger and Concho counties,
Texas. While absent ho spout
some time in Abiliuo, San An-
gelo and other towns in that
country. "Old Greer looka
mighty good to me," he said to u
Times man as he alighted from
the train. "I have been over
many miles in Texas, but I
haven't seen a thing that even
approaches Old Greer county.
Our crops aro as fino as they
make 'em, and we have Texas
skinued to death. I'm not brag-
ging, mind you, but I'm perfect-
ly satisfied with Greer county,
as every man ought to be who
has seen what Texas has this
year."
Gone To Missouri.
J. Ed YanMatre left Sunday
for Ins old home iu Holdeu, Mo.,
where ho will spend about ten
days visiting his mother and old
friends there aud at Warrensburg
and vicinity. Ed took back with
him two large trunks filled with
Greer county farm and orchard
products, which he will place on
exhibition there, and show the
natives of that country what
wonderful crops we cau and do
produce out here. He expects to
accomplish much with these
products, in the way of inducing
immigration. He could have
t-iken considerably more with
h i in, but lack of time prevented
the farmers from bringing iu
their stuff.
Push and Pull for It,
An eleotrio light plaut, to lis
owned and controlled by 01 y bus.
iness iiiun, aud to furuiah light
and power to both the city aud
private oonsuuisra, is the latest
enterprise on foot aud it is be-
lieved that it will bo successful.
The plan is to form a stuck com-
pany and divide the stock up in-
to small amouuts, say from #100
to $600 to each subscriber, one-
fourth payable iu cash aud the
balance at stated intervals. One
or both of the bauks will bo asked
to furnish the funds to build the
plant, taking the deferred pay-
ments of atock as aecurity. It is
the intention to interest as many
citizens as possible, that their in-
fluence may be exerted in favor
of the institution. $0,000 cash
will build and equip the plaut,
the remainder to come from the
income and deferred payments.
The Times sincerely hopes the
scheme will be'pushed to a suc-
cessful culininatioD, for we need
electric lights worse than any-
thing else.
