Anything that saves 'time and
lightens labor is quickly appro-
priated by the progressive farmer,
and good roads which are acknow-
ledged to be the greatest time
savers of modern agriculture, are
fast covering the state. While
good roads will not make the land
produce a greater quanity of a cer-
tain crop, still they enable the far-
mer to market what he has pro-
duced to the best advantage. Good
in the city visiting Mrs, Fant’s j roads for all Texas.

- The editor went into the First
National Bank and asked Harry
Daugerhty to please change a bill,
adding that two tens would do and
tossed over a fivfe dollar bill. He
looked at us with that hard look that
jbe always has ready for anyone
jpvho presents a check not indorsed
or when someone makes a mistake
in the tens column when adding up
the deposits. He gave us that
hnd look and shelled out five silver
dollars. The money was not the
editors. We were just getting it
changed for a friend.
Everybody is extremely concern-
ed about the weather. It still re-
mains warm. Only three nights
during the entire winter has ice
formed, the trees have nearly all
bloomed o|t,and every appearance
and indication of spring. Quite a
number ,are speculating whether
there will be ahy more cold weath-
er and wl$at the effects would be if
there is po more frost. Usually
after a rain there is cold and frosts
and freeze^ but these rains have
cleared away and we do not need a
fire of mornings. The News be-
lieves it yould be safe to guess
that there will yet be some more
severe weather and probably a very
late spring, as it is almost a rule
that there is an average tempter-
at are for the winters.
Attorney L. W. Parrish of the
fir*m of Wantland and Parrish of
Henrietta was in town Saturday on
business and visiting his former
college mates J. P. Simpson, H. C.
McClure and ,Lewis and W. R.
Johnson.
Messrs. M. U. Johnson and C. L.
Rhoades called on the News in a
crowd. Mr. Rhoades came in to
know why he had been cut off and
Mr. Johnson came along to act as
witness that the money had been
paid. Bud. who is Mr. Johnson
had given the editor a dollar for
Mr. Rhoades and credit had not
been given. The matter was in-
vestigated, and found that he had
given Bud the credit and his time
was marked up to 1912. We all
kissed and made up and the editor
bade them goodbye with his old
time rainbow smile.
The railroad committee of the
Jacksboro Board of Trade have
nothing special to report other
than good progress on the Jacks-
boro-Southern. Since the last re-
port, most of the bonus raised.
This brings the matter close to a
final contract. Jacksboro will be
called on in a few days to finally
contract for her part of the right
of way and bonus. While the re-
cent agitation in Ft. Worth for a
new road from Ft. Worth direct to
Jacksboro, at first, was believed
would in a measure retard the pro-
gress of promoting the Jacksboro
Southern, recent developments
show that it is having good effect.
Jacksboro people are showing a
great interest in the proposed new
railroad from Ft. Worth to Jacks-
bofo to connect with the G. T. &
W. This is an old project and has
always met with enthusiasm at
Jacksboro. It has always been be-
lieved here that it would eventual-
ly be built and we hope Ft. Worth
means business this time.
