Bit of Political History.
Appealing to the Populists to
vote the Democratic ticket in a
speech made on the public square
of Ladonia one night in August
1896, Mr. Bailey said: "If it is
Mr. Cleveland you object to, let
him no longer stand in your way,
for we have turned his picture to
the wall.” If it was no political
crime then to repudate a Demo-
cratic officer. without prefering
charges why should he want to
drive us into the Gulf new for
the same thing when when we

W. G. McConnell, the Brownfield
Public School is drawing to a
close. Its school bnilding and
school is one of the things to
which the people of the town and
community rfer with a great
daal of pride. This is justly so,
for the building is an enterprise
which they erected with their own
private means, and is entirely
out of debt. It is the best school
building on the Central Plains,
and would be a credit to a town
of several thousand people. By
using good judgment, the direct-
ors employed Prof, McConnell to
take charge of their school and
and work that he and his assis-
tants are accomplishing justifies
the . wisdom of the selection.
Tyose who want to locate in or
near town, where there is a first
class school can find no better
place to come than to Brownfield.

desire to add a short statement.
In extending a challenge to Mr.

the campaign, I inadvertently
omitted to extend the invitation
to our opponent, the Honorable
Ger .W. Neill. I do not wish to ig.

---------a sandy nature, but one half of
the county is firm mixed hard land, with enough
" low well, level and smooth. Portions of
_ _ is covered with short grass and mequite
and cat-claw bushes; other portions with sage
grass and shinery, and a great deal of the coun-
tyisa mixture of both, with clay foundation. The
country being level, not having any running
st rec pis or mountains, the land catches and holds
every drop of rain that falls—none is wasted.
The grass is splendid grazing for cattleand other
stock, and furnishes a living for thousands of
cattle every year. The land produces fine corn,
kaffir corn, maize. sugarcane, cotton equal to
and averages with Central Texas and Oklahoma
per year and per acre, while melons, potatoes,
onions and vegetables are superior to that of
either place. The rainfall is amply sufficient to
produce good crops every year, as the farmers
who have lived in Terry county for the past four
years will bear Testimony. Trees of all kinds
that have been planted grow very rapidly; the
water is pure, free from alkali,------
and found in abundance at 60to 1----- -------
large orchards in the county to bear fruit this
year, and thousands of young trees set out every
