sheep sheds on the
SHEEP
One of the
lower Sand Hollow ranch of John
Kilkenny was destroyedby fire on
Friday last. Along with the shed
26 head of sheep were burned. Mr.
Kilkenny does not know just how
the fire originated but when it was
discovered it was too far along to be
checked and all the sheep In the
building could not be removed. The
shearers have been at the Kilkenny
ranch for the past two weeks, and
the lambing season is also on In full
blast down there, making it a mighty
busy place just at present. Weather
conditions have been splendid to
date and plenty of good grass for the
mother sheep presages one of the
best lambings Mr. Kilkenny ever had.
What Is true In his case in this re
spect, also applies to the other sheep
men of the sand country, and a very
prosperous season is before them.

rather rough experience last Satur
day night while enroute to Browns
ville on the evening train. When
the train reached the new station cal
led Sand Ridge a few miles north of

man to call Brownsville and alighted
from the train only to find herself
alone in the county road. She fin
ally succeeded in finding shelter for
the night at a farm house, and came
to Brownsville the next day. Miss
Currin's feelings toward the conduct
or and train men for allowing her to
leave the train at Sand Ridge are
not the best one can Imagine. In

THE KNOCKERS PRAYER.
"Lord, please don't let this town
grow. I've lived here for thirty
years and during that time I've
fought every public improvement.
I've knocked everything and every
body, no firm or individual has es
tablished a business here without my
doing all I could to put 'em out of
business. I've used every under
handed method known to the knock
ing fraternity to injure their busi
ness. I've lied about them, and
would have stolen from them if I
had the courage. I have done all
I could to keep the town from grow
ing, never have I spoken a good word
for It, but instead I've knocked hard
and often. It pains me, O Lord, to
see that in spite of my knocking this
town Is beginning to grow. Some
day I fear I will be called upon to
put down side walks in front of my
property, and who knows but what
I may have to help keep up the
streets that run by my premises?
This, Lord, would be more than I
could bear. It would cost me mon
ey, and I could not afford to pay out
any money, though all I have was
made right here in this town. Then
too more people might come if the
town begins to grow, which would
cause me to lose some of my pull. I
ask, therefore to keep this town at a
standstill, that I may continue to be
the chief knocker. Amen."
FROST HITS MORROW COUNTY.
A heavy frost hit Morrow county
on Monday night, and from reports
we can gather, fruit has suffered to
considerable extent. It is not
thought that the crop is all destroy
ed but it is no doubt badly injured
and shortened up. This is true of
apricots and peaches particularly:.
There has never been a better pros
pect for fruits of all kinds and it Ik
to be regretted that we are to suffer
a loss of this crop. It may develop
that the Injury has not been as exten
sive as it now appears, and if this
should prove to be a fact the croi
may be of better quality on account
of its being cut short.
