The Deck farm, 43S acres, was sold
last Saturday to Frederick Co. man
for 50 per acre. Thirty years ago it
sold for sloan acre. Farming land is
depreciating everywhere. and town
and city property going up. The cause
is the low price of grain. Raising
stock. produce, hay. seems to pay bet
ter than raising wheat. 1t may be
that so many leaving the farm for the
town or city will in time make farm
ing more profitable.

La Grippe has caught a number OF
people in this section. Those who
have had it, say that its grip is rather
firm it is not to be shaken of at will.
A curious winter to be sure. How
ever. we believe that almost every
body is enjoyingi extraordinary well.
as far as the mildness is concerned. It
gives the farmers a good oppority for
blowing and other spring work. There
are number who are taking advan-
tage Of the opportunity thus afforded.
What people, some of US are, always
ready to meet half way.
The nearest case ofscarlet fever that
we have heard of, is east of Hedges
vile.
Some parents are becoming afraid
to send their children to school. How
much more ease and pleasure we
would all enjoy if we would let trouble
alone until it meet us. Some of US
are always ready to meet itsix months,
or year in the future. Well, l sup
pose some of us weak mortals can't
helpit. Our school is progressing nice
ly under the management of Mr.. A.
G. Kesecker.
We are informed that Mr.. VIM.
frederick, of Hedgesville paid Oakton
a short visit few days ago. He was
molested by some boys, called upon
the Mayor for protection, and receiv-
ed none. He then concluded that his
best plan would be to retreat toward
Hedgesville, which he did at rapid
pace. We do not know If the boys
pursued him or not, but do not think
they did. This is bad showing for
the quiet town of Oakton. Boys,
common courtesy demands of you,
better things than this.
Mr.. A. T. Harper has moved into
