CLEAN-UP
The Lasater Ranch Lands
That is, we want to sell out the remnant of this ranch.
While a large part of this fine ranch has been sold out and something
like 2,000 acres of it are now in cultivation, there is still left several
hundred acres of fine valley land, that we will sub-divide in tracts of
40, 80, 160 or more to suit the purchaser. Choice tracts at $25.00 per
acre on ten years time at 8 per cent interest; other tracts at reduced
prices. . . . . • • •
This is unquestionably the finest body of farm lands in this county
and will advance in price to much higher figures.
We continue to make land \loans; although money has been very
scarce, we are able to take care of your wants in this line.

Two sets of delegates were
chosen. One to the district con-
vention at Henrietta, on May 17th

ton an Lewis Johnson of Jacksboro.
Alternates to the Fort Worth
convention, W. H. Zimmerman,
Charles A. Worthington and J*. M.
Breech of Jacksboro, R. Lyons of
Joplin and A. Crump Walker of
Spark Springs. The delegates
were not instructed fqr presiden-
tial choice but the convention and
the precinct primaries showed this
county to favor Roosevelt by a
large majority. Col. Cecil A.
Lyon was endorsed for delegate at
large and national committeeman
from Texas. ^
A resolution of thanks was voted r
to Lewis Johnson for his work in
behalf of the Republican party as
county chairman of Jack county,
congressional chairman of the 13th
congressional district of Texas and
member of the Republican State
executive committee of the 29th
senatorial district of Texas.
MV. W. A. Biasing, chief audi-
tor of the G. T. & W. with head-
quarters at Jermyn represented his
precinct as delegate to the Repub-
lican county convention at Jacks-
boro Tuesday. Mr. Biasing is an
ardent Roosevelt supporter and
bears the distinotion of having
been one of the charter members
of the first Roosevelt club ever
organizzed in the United States,
namely the Roosevelt club of St.
Paul, Minn, organized juBt after
the strenuous colonel’s return from
Cuba.
BEGINNING RIGHT.
“The first valentine I ever gave
my wife was a ten-cent affair of lace
paper and tinsel. I still send her a
similar one each year.”
“At a net cost of ten cents, eh?
You were lucky to start on such a
basis. Now my wife expects about
$4 worth of violets.”
ADAPTED.
“What do you think now of the
fuzzy hat?”
“Oh, it can be made useful.”
“Indeed?”
“Yes. A young Italian informs
me that an old fuzzy hat he fished
out of a trash barrel is first rate for
polishing shoes.”
After the Walk
There’s nothing that re-
ieves fatigue so quickly

SAY MORGAN WAS VICTIMIZED
Experts Claim Collection, for Which
He Paid Large Sum, le of
Trivial Worth.,
According to a Cairo dispatch
published in Berlin, Germany, J. P.
Morgan has been cleverly swindled
with a collection of Coptic manu-
scripts which he bought for $40,000.
The manuscripts had long been
hawked about for less than a tenth
of that price, but had not found a
purchaser. Then it was acquired
very cheaply by an astute dealer who
laid a scheme for a profitable deal.”
With the aid of an Egyptian offi-
cial a document was forged purport-
ing to show that the Egyptian gov-
ernment had offered $40,000 for the
collection. Then the owner of the
manuscripts went to Paris and se-
cured a similar document, alleging
that the French authorities were
ready to pay a like sum.
Armed with these weapons, the
man approached Mr. Morgan’s agent
and made the deal indicated above.
When the Egyptian authorities re-
ceived information that the official
was implicated he was dismissed.
Director Masnero, of the Egyptian
museum, declares that although the
collection bought by Mr. Morgan is
genuine, it is really of little value
and that the price is preposterously
high.
LOOKING AHEAD
MI wish to get a permit to. dig up
the pavement on Main street,” said
the president of the gas company.
"Why, we can’t give you that. Thera
isn’t any pavement in Main street.’*
"I know; but I want the permit SQ
that we can dig up the pavement as
soon as there is one.
