Tea and twelve, years ago, re
spectively, Messrs, Louis and
Bert ; Dellinger, tons of , Mr.
Lawson A. Dellinger, of Iron
Station, Lincoln county, went
West to try , their luck. " They
have just been at home for a few
weeks' visit and were in the citv
last night en route to James
town, which they will take in
before returning' to their West
em homes.
'.! The latter l'ves at Miles,
Texas, bejng a prominent man
of his community. He was
single when he left this : State,
but fell a victim to the charms
of a Texas lassie several years
ago and is now the father of
several children. His visit home
this summer was' the first since
he left his parental abode.
Mr Louis Dellinger went
farther West than bis 5'0unger
brother and has rambled con
siderably more, being still single.
He has been up in British
Columbia and Alaska, and en
gaged in mining, besides wash
ins dirt in about a : half-dozen
of the United States. At pres
ent" his abode is at Goldfield,
Nevada, where he has mining
property and deals in mining
stock. He will accompany his
brother to his Lone Star home
and after spending some days
there will return to Nevada by
way of Sau Francisco, where he
has business interests.
Both young men like the West
and have succeedad to a marked
degree They say, however,
that the advantages of the West
are not as great as they were
only a few years ago. All the
best : government lands have
been taken up. which was not
the case but a few years back.
Mr. Louis Dellinger says that
he believes the South is begin
ning to arouse itself to such an
extent that it will soon offer
more advantages to a young man
starting out in life than the far
famed western part of the con
tinent.
