Wheat and rye are looking fine. i Many farmers are preparing to break more land. 'J. T. Wesley will enlarge his .farm 140 acres. ';. d It appears that the settlers are convinced the Plains coun- ; trp is a fine farming country. :. Land is advancing in price. ' Several new families have . settled in our neighborhood. : They are all well pleased with the country. Protracted singing and writ ing school is now in full bloom at Fairview.

Rusk and family are back in our corner prospecting for a home. 1 We liked the sentiment ex pressed in The Stayer by a cousin in regard to speaking evil of our neighbors. All of . those, one and a ball times . around I'll tell you but don't you tell any one should be driven to the cap rock, for being babblers.

Delayed from lant week. . Weather wet and cold. It has been raining two days and it is very muddy and disagreeable. The rain is good on wheat but hard on cattle and feed that is down on the ground and not yet stacked. Some of our people have been very busy putting out fruit trees bought from Dockery Brothers nursery. Mrs. C. Adair arrived at the Tule ranch this evening, also the JA cowboys. They will commence work in the morning. They will have big roundups this time as they are going to gather everything. They will soon be through with their work on this side of the canyon. Mr. Kent made a llying trip to Pal oduro last Sunday. Mr. Lindeman and Otto Pietzsch spent a few days in Canyon City this week. Mrs. Marvin McGehee, of Wayside, , spent last Saturday night with her parents, W. IL Lemmons and wife. Mr. Luther Hastings was in this part of the country Monday. Mr. Walker, is working for the JA Company this week. Mr. Holder, with his well ma chine, arrived at Mr. Linde man 's this evening. He is going to have a new well put down and thus the Plains improve. Miss Ethel Hailey has returned to Mr. Birch's, her old home. She has come to stay. Mrs. Bonds and children moved back to their old home last Monday. Little Annie Jackson has two pet antelopes, two cats one pet coon and about eight or ten dolls. How many more little girls on the Plains have that many pets? The coon plays with her from morning till night and never tires. The antelopes watch for her coming from school every evening and run down the road and meet her so they have a big play back to the house. Who can beat that for pets. I wonder how X. T. Z. likes the picture of his new dish washer? If I were him I would not pitch another bit of hay or 'wash another dish until I found that girl. Miss Minnie Brooks is all smiles this week. Her best fel low was up a few days ago. Jasper. Notice to Contractors.
