upstart editor is amazing. We
don’t fully understand why the
good people of Snyder tolerate
him. It is probably owing to
the fact that they know that no
attention will be paid to what he
savs.

Up to last night eleven vessels

CROP PROSPECTS.
Last Saturday afternoon the
writer made a spin in a Ford
from Granite in Greer county
across the northwest corner of
Kiowa county fo a point six miles
east of Rocky in Washita county.
This trip enabled us to get a
good idea of crop conditions in
