While in Mclean county last week
we met our friend and former county
man, Mr.. Virgil p Stateler. Mr. State
Ter is one of the leading farmers in Me-
Lean county. He farms upon the labor
saving plan-having machines for all
kinds of work. His fields are all laid
off east, west, north and south, and
range from 10 to p acres i'm field. We
are glad to note his prosperity.
Mr. James c. Stewart, of the neigh
bOrhood of Barnett's Creek church, pre-
scented us Monday with peculiar kind
of petrification. 1t has the appearance of
having been Il stalk like unto corn or SUI
garcane, the ends having rough, jagged
appearance, like it had been broken off.
The grain of the cane, or stalk, can be
plainly seen in the stone. We are
thankful to Uncle Jimmy for the con-
tribution TO our cabinet.
We are glad to note the imprOve-i
ment of stock i'm our county. Mr.. ID.
B. London, of Rosine neighborhOod,
sometime since bought II thoroughbred
Cotswold buck of Mr. Howard Gray, of
Shelbyville. One of his ewes dropped
Il lamb last February, and recently
another. He also has two yeailiAg
ewes with lambs. The thoroughbreds
are no more trouble than scrubs, and
are far more profitable for wool ar NUT
ton either. Let the good work of hang
ing our stock of all kinds froll Grub to
fine stock go on.
If you are wealthy and have your
property distributed in different local-
ties you can probably take your own
risk against loss by fire, but it is not a
sensible, business way of doing things.
but if you are in moderate circum-
stances you cannot afford Ia take your
own risk, for fire would ruin you The
shrewd, careful man of moderate
means, OF with his means concentrated
in one locality will surely prepare
against loss by fire rs those accidents
will happen occasionally. If not insured,
call on Barrett * Bro, Hartford, Ky.
The old Jail lot i'm Hartford was sold
at public auction Monday, Mr.. Y. w.
Griffin being the purchaser at SS25. 1t
was very magnanimous in the county
court to donate the lot to the School
Trustees, and Mr.. Griffin paid II fair,
liberal price for it. SS25 more added to
our school fund insures the success and
permanency of Hartford College be-
yond any sort of doubt. The estab-
lishment of the school has given II
boom To all kinds of business and Il
confidence in real estate. This lot, be-
fore the establishment of the school,
could not have been sold for exceeding
S4O0. Hurrah for Hartford and Hart
ford College!
