There are in Texas more
than £'5i000,000 acres of
superior public lands for
sale to all actual settlers at
from $2-00 to Jp^ OO an acre
and on forty years' time at
a. low 7'ate of interest-
Xlf you find an X opposite your
name on this paper, it means
that yaur subscription has ex-
pired and that an immediate renew
ai is earnestly requested.
Horn L. £. Finch who was a can-
didate for the nomination to suc-
ceed Rjan ia Congress failed to se
cure the aominatien. Harrison Kel
ley being nominated on the 213th
ballot- If Kansas people must re-
publican representatives to speak
for them in Congress, no mere able
and honorable man than Finch
could have been selected.
Oklahoma has been opened and
the longing curosity ®f the frontiei
floater has] been gratiiled. But it
has hot met eKpectatioBs.lt it not
a land flowing with milk and hone}
where gold covers the gentle slopeí^
and diamonds dot the vale3. The
temporary excitement having died
out,the gaxe of the homeless thous
ands is onee more turned toward
the Panhandle tor hope and tko ful
fulment of their expectations. Wt
have at fine lands, as beautiful val-
es as expanded plaice and as lovelj
hills as Oklahoma can boast. All
we need is mere people to buile
houses on omr virgin soil and doi
the land with oititles of might and
and power.
All of the Henston & Texas Cen-
tral railroad lands lying in this
portion of the Panhandle have^bees
sold to one company and the ad
verse interest to the tittle have all
been merged ia one possessor. As *
result they will now be put actively
on the market and effort will be put
forward to induce purchasers to se-
cure aotual settlements on the lands
and boom the material interests of
the eountry. For many years these
railroad companies have been pay-
i*f taxes on their lands but have
been unable from the condition in
which their affairs wore situated tc
sell them or secure to purchasers a
good title. This m iveinent patting
them on the market and getting
them into a condition where home
and farms will blossom forth, can*
not bat contribute ranch to the
growth and prosperity of all this
region and wo wo feel like congrat-
ulating the Panhandle upon th;s re-
Mltr
As we have constant inquiries
from those who are seeking to pur-
chase a homestead out of our pub-
lic lands we reply once for all, that
you can buy not less than 160 acres,
or 320, 480, or G40, but no more,
unless you select purely grazing
land without permanent water and
not adapted to agriculture, of this
pasture land yon can buy not to ex-
ceed four sections. The dry land
will cost you $2 an asre. But you
must come in person to the county
seat of the county where the land
lies or to whith it is attached, if
in an unorgainzed county, and call
on the county clerk who will show
you a public record of the classifi
cation of all unsold state lands.
If on looking the ground over you
find the land to suit you, you will
get a blank form for an application
to purchase and other information
of the law and the land as may be
known to him. You will then execute
a sworn ailidavit in your application
for purchase, that you want the land
for a homestead for yourself and
that no other persea or corporation
is interested in the purchase, and
that you have in good faith actually
settled thereon and will improve the
same. You will forward j our appli-
cation to purchase directly to Hon
R. M. Hall, State Land Com-
missioner, Austion, Texas, inclosing
the sum of thirty-two dollars to the
order of F. R. Lubbock, state Treas-
urer, this being one fortieth of the
principal on a section of dry agri-
cultural land. If you select land
•vith permanent water on it, it will
cost you three dollars per acre, or
one dollar per acre more than the
unwatered land. If you buy land
that is valued chiefly for timber, you
must pay $5 an acre cash down On
all other lauds you will pay one for-
tieth of the principal in advance.
No further payment on the principal
will be required until the end of the
forty years if the purchaser desiies
the time, but the interest must be
paid annually on the first day of
August, at the rata of five per cent
per annsni on the unpaid principal.
After you have occupied the laad
for three consecutive years and made
;he required payments of intereet
•lue at that date, you will be allowed
Co pay the balance due on the land
*nd obtain a patent f©r the same,
provided you make fall satisfactory
Droof that you have resided on the
¡and for the time specified. At any
lime after you have settled upon the
land and bought it, you can sell it
to another actual settler, who will
be required to assume your obliga-
tion to the state. All the unsold
«tate lands arc now on the market
for sale to actual settlers oily for
the benefit of the common school,
the state university, lunatic asylum
blind asylum, the deaf and dumb
**T 1 hid, and the orphan asylum
funds. Public lands in this eounty
