My foot in the stirrup
My hand on the rein
I cross the deep canyons
I sweep o'er the Plains.
But here I have arrived at the
Stayer's office. You all recog-
nize me. I'm a cowboy.
Now you all wonder what
Hap-Fan-Sal means? Simply
Happy Fanchon and Salem.
Hello! to one and all of my
country cousins glad to see you
all. X. T. Z. you are doubly
welcome.
People in this part of the
country are in unusually gay
spirits from the fact they are
prospering.
Saturday night we were the
proud recipients of a nice warm
rain which was very much need
ed to keep wheat growing and
now the wheat fields are per-
fectly lovely.
Despite the drouth of the early
summer people of this section
will have an abundance of feed
to provide a subsistence for
their herds through the ensuing
winter.
Most of our farmers are about
through putting up their feed
and now they may be seen sit- j
ting around with broad smiles
on their honest countenances
thinking how they have duped j
old Jack Frost.
Range cattle are in a No. 1 j
condition.
Mr. C. W. Word and little)
sons of Happy were in the city I
of Fanchon Friday.
Miss Josie O'Fiel was a pleas
ant caller at the home of Miss
Mary Evans Tuesday evening.
Through a broad sense of equity
and appreciation allow us to
assert that we deem the above
named young ladies our most
popular and accomplished.
Mrs. J. S. Cox and daughter
Miss Essie were shopping in
Tulia Monday.
A party of Haps and Fans at-
tended Christian church ser-
vices at Salem Sunday. As an
observer we caught one evin-
cive idea that is that the young
people in this part of the world
are certainly making "the
sparks fly." Don't know wheth-
some splendid values in Fall Clothing and Gents' Furnish-
-
er there are going to be any
w eddings or not.
We were very sad on being
told that one of Fan's young
ladies viz: Miss Alma Clary
was on the point of leaving the
Plains for New Mexico and
were' just in the act of producing
our handkercheifs for the ab-
sorption of the briny tears
which we were wont to shed on
hearing of the departure of a
friend when we were most un-
expectedly surprised by the
thrilling news that one Mr.
Julius Pietzsch (peach) bad
persuaded her to remain ou the
Plains. We are aware of the
fact that Mexico was an excel-
lent fruit country but glory in
Miss Alma's decision and agree
that Mexico would not provide
a "Peach" the year round.
Last Friday while on our way
to Canyon City we met Mr. Joe
Evans hauling in a line lot of
sweet potatoes which were in
themselves manifest specimens
of Mr. Evans' success as a
farmer.
Messrs. C. T. DtGraftenried
Jim Cox Jell Evans Win. Ward
Sam Cox and Henry Armstrong
shipped out a train of fine fat
cows. These gentlemen are
soma of our most prominent and
enterprising citizens. We are
very glad to note such progress
"in our beloved Estacauo."
Mr. Jim Cox will stop enroute
home and visit his daughter
Mrs. W. A. Brooks of Niotage
Kansas.

CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REME
DY SAVED HIS BOY'S LIFE.
'I believe I saved my (nine
year old) boy's life this winter
with Chamberlain's Cough Rem

up with croup that he could not
speak. I gave it to him freely
until he vomited and in a short
time he was all right." For sale

Quite a number of hogs are per-
mitted to run ntlargenow. although
we have repeatedly published notices
calling attention of owners to their
hogs lelng out. We hope the
people who sit oa juries will take no-
tice that this is a willful disregard
of the law.
