E0ET (jiilESIN ECHO
Is Published ev«rv Saturday, at PORT GRIFFIN, SHACK-
ELFORD COUNTY, TEXAS.
" SUBSCRIPTION, $2.00 per Annum, in Advance.
THE ECHO lias been conducted by its present proprietor
for over three years in another locality with marked success and
it has gained a reputation for truth and,fail dealing which many
larger and more pretentious Journals do not enjoy.
We pride ourselves on being the only publisher who has
been represented at every meeting of the North-west Texas
Stock Raisers' Association, and believe we know more about
stock and stock marks and brands than any publisher in North-
west Texas.
Believing that the Live Stock interest (and by this we
mean aU kinds of stock raised for profit, from the cow brute
down to chickens,) of this portion of Texas is sufficient to warrant
the publication of a paper in the Stock Interest, and believing
the Range the proper location, the ECHO has been moved to
this point. It proposes to make the
LIVE STOCK BUSINESS
a leading feature,but not to the exclusion of local and general news.
It wants all manner of news from every stock ranch in the
Country and has the pledge of a large number of gentlemen own-
ing cattle, horse and sheep ranches, to write leading articles for
it, as well as to furnish all local news of a stock nature, from
their respective localities.
:o:-
THE SPECIAL AIM
OF THE EC1I0. will be to advance thu interests of, 1st. Shack-
elford County ; 2nd. Our neighboring Counties and State, and as
such seeks your patronage.
