TEXAS LANDS.
Canyon City. Tox., .Jan. 10, 1907.
Dkar Kiiitoh Will you permit
mo to say to your readers, a few
things about our country. When I
was in old ('rittondon last .Juue on a
visit for my first time since leaving
thorc in lh"fi I wan vory forcibly
iiuprossod with the need of many of
your eitixeus, socking a now country
and doing mi at onoe.
I rocall the instance of pld unelo
Kd in 1871, soiling out
there and moving to Toxas by wagon.
resulted in my father following suit
the next year. Also Silas McMurray,
Frank Cruee, Jelin Zimmorman and
others.
I shall always bless the day that
uncle turnod this way. We settled
in Krath county, Texas, and remained
there on one tract of land until ton
years ago when I moved to this
country. $ftcr trying the plains I
really feel as though 1 have loci the
21 years spent in Krath county, for
thorc it repuired so much expenditure
of money and labor to prop a re. the
land for the plow while here it Ms
already eloar, absolutely no obstruction,
level, and no floods to wash
away the soil.
I have boon engaged more or logs
for tlm Iat five yoars in buyiug and
selling lands and aattlo, I do not re
oall to mind a singlo instance where
the man to whom I sold land has not
cither cold are can sell at a fancy
profit. Kxamplc Four years ago 1
sold a oction of land ti miles or Canyon
to W. 1'. Orr, of Stcphcnvillc,
Texas., at 12. 75 per aorc, he has not
expended a dollar on it except for
taxes (this ts only $10 per Bcctioo
per year) and he has refused ten dollars
per acre. I sold a section last
spring (to Mr. Mercer, of Iowa,) four
miles from Canyon City where I live
at $1-1 per acre and he now refuses
$20 per acre. I can furnish many
other such instances.
Heal estate of all kinds havo greatly
advanced and will yet advance
even more rapidly, for this country
is just now bogining to attract at
tention abroad, and the eyes of tho
world arc turned this way. Poor
men are seeking a country where it
is possible for them to own their
homes while men of wealth are looking
for invesment; and they know
that for a safo and sure one nothing
beats good lands. I am a land ageut
but am sincere in all that I have
said. I invite you to come and
and you will find that it is
oven hotter than I havo represented.
The average yield of wheat last year
(1000) wb 24 bushels por aere in my
county (aud in somo instauccs it

These choice lands every foot

I CHURCH NOTES X ?
vw :-
Tho sermon at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday wur on the text
found in Isaiah 02 2. "Thou shalt
be called by a now name, which the
mouth of the Lord shall name. ' The
subjoot was to show the groat advantage
oi being named after tho Savior
of tho world.
The name of a man has much to
do with Ins lire aud especially that of
thr Christian. Paul said "Let evory
ono that nameth the name of Christ
dopart rrom iniquity, ' 2 Tim. 2,19.
Froquoutly men sry that they aro
not Christians, thinking it is an honor
to be reckoned among those who
deny Christ. In the last day it will
make all the difference what a'mau's
name is.
The question that decides our
eternal fate is whether or not we aro
named after the namo of Christ. If
we have tho namo of Christ stamped
upon us, wo will bo saved by Christ.
If not we will be eternally lost.

Next Sunday a protracted meeting
will begin at tho Baptist church.
Or. W. D. Powell, or Louisville,
State Evangelist, will assist, and do
the preaching. Tho public invited.
