Mr. Oliver fer Clerk.
Since only a brief mention was
made of the candidacy of A. J.
Oliver in last week's issue of the
Brand, we desire this week to call
the attention of our readers in a
more extensive way to his claims-
Mr. Oliver is thoroughly acquainted
with almost every njan in Deaf
Smith County and is ¿town to be a
man of profound integrity and pure
motives. He comes before the peo-
ple asking them for their siipport on
his general qualifications for the du-
ties which devolve upon the county
and district clerk, promising that if
elected, he will manifest the same
accurate interest in the county's
affairs which has made his services
in demand in business circles.
We believe, if elected, Mr. Qliver
would fill the office wity credit to
both himself and the county.
MR. CURFMAN'S EXPERIENCE.
His Success Compares Favorably
With that of Fanners Any-
where.
Editor of The Earth:
I came to Hereford four yea?s
ago and bought 640 acres of land
nine miles southeast of town.
Puilt me a house and broke about
forty acres of land the first year,
and sold $416 worth of produce off
same and had enough left to winter
thirty-five head of cattle and horses.
The second year had 120 acres in
crop and sold $802 worth of farm
products and wintered forty-five
head of stock. The third was a dry
year; sold $315 worth of feed and
wintered 100 head of stock and
made $5 per head on the stock
wintered. The fourth crop is not
yet harvested, except the wheat and
oats. The wheat and oats will
bring me about $400, and expect to
get about $1,000 out of the balance
of crop, besides wintering my stock.
I "now have 165 acres in cultiva-
tion. I raise wheat, oats, June
corn, milo maize, Kaffir corn, sor-
ghum, California wheat, millet, arid
cotton, and all kinds of vegetables.
I believe this to be a good small
grain country, and that cotton will
be a success. I came here with
$800 and could make my check out
now for $4,500 or $5,000.

MASS MEETING HELD.
Citizens Meet to Consider the Metea
and Bounds of a Proposed
City Corporation.
Responsivepo a petition signed by
about 85 citizens, Judge Russell
called a mass meeting at the court
house Monday evening, the primary
and only purpose of which was to
take steps towards calling for an
election to ascertain whether or not
Hereford shall or shall not be in-
corporated for municipal purposes.
W. H. Rayzor was elected chair-
man for the evening. Judge Russell
stating the object of the meeting,
after which numerous talks were
made upon the question at hand,
some favoring one plan, some an-
other .
At the suggestion of the Chair, a
committee, composed of five men,
was asked to retire and define as
nearly as possible the limits of the
city of Hereford with reference to
the territory which should be in-
cluded in the proposed corporation.
The committee obeyed orders and
went into deliberative session, but
in the absence of a map of the town
was unable to arrive at any defi-
nite understanding in the work
which had been assigned them. They,
however, recommended that a sec-
ond committee be appointed to refer
to a city map and define the terri-
tory which should hereafter consti-
tute Hereford, should she become an
incorporated town.
This committee was composed of
W. H. Rayzor, J. W. Burks, A. H.
Elliston, C. E. Edwards and H. B.
Webb, and was instructed to com-
plete its work within the next fifteen
days and present the result of its
deliberation, together with the ne-
cessary signatures, to the county
judge asking for r.n election to be
held at the earliest date.
There being no further business,
the meeting was adjourned to await
further developments.
Suburban Party.
In order that her invited guests
might enjoy the walk out to her
home in .the south-west edge of town,
Miss Etbel Ricketts opened its doors
to them on last Saturday evening
and welcomed each one in the pleas-
ant and gracious way that ever
characterizes her bearing as hostess.
Those invited could not but an-
ticipate a pleasant time in the Rick
etts home, for Miss ISthel has enter
tained before and they knew what to
expect ;so on this occasion,as she had
her cousin, Miss Tempest Ricketts
of Clayton, New Mexico, to assist
her duties as hostess, the guests left
doubly ' grateful for the pleasures
that had been furnished them in a
two-fold ratio. Miss Tempest is
here for the remainder of the college
sesston.
Music and games helped the even-
ing to pass all too quickly and conver-
sation that was replete with fun and
good will to all was unceasingly in-
dulged in as is ever there where the
care-free young people are gathered
together.
Those present were: Misses Jessie
Wright, Celia and Nellie Robinson,
Margaret House, Imo Gass, Audrey
and Maggie Argo, Maggie Ewbank,
Nellie Wyche and Estelle Patton;
Messrs Claude Witherspoon, Elmer
Dámeron, Hiel Witherspoon, - El-
bridge Brodie, Earnest and Jesse
Carper, Henry Cloyd, Edgar Inmon,
Melton Buroughs, Leron Gough,
John Patton and Willie Argo.
