The facilities for getting land are bet.
ter here than in any other locality
where equal advantages in other re-
spects are found. To those possessed
of some means, and who prefer to pay
for improvements rather than take the
time to make them, we can offer i'm
proved farms at prices that will hardly
cover the cost Of the improvements.
But for those who have small means
and want to begin at the bottom and
make their own improvements, or fol-
such as desire large tracts Of land for

the greatest inducements.

Messrs. J. L. Woodin and J. H.
Walters, both of lola township, are
announced as candidates for the office
of Sheriff. Personally the writer will
vote for the one he thinks will be the
strongest before the people. AS to
efficiency, fitness and qualifications,
that which can be said in favor of one,
can be said in favor of both. Either
will make an excellent Sheriff, and
either can easily be elected. The
friends of each will do we'll to remem-
her that fair canvass makes friends.
We do not want any hard feelings
engendered by unwise and hasty re-
