In our report of the laying of the
corner stone the name of Milton
Smith was inadvertently omitted
from the list of county officers. The
name of Mobiles county's popular sur
veyor is in the corner stone, however.

Those pants which the editor
wears, for which we have been
guyed considerably by people who
are not up to date on styles, are not
pants at all. We have adopted the
popular costume of divided skirts,
and propose to wear them, at least
until replevied by the tailor.
In glancing over the files of the
News way back in the SOS we note
that Carl Eastwood predicts that the
price of lots in the village will soon
reach the $500 mark. That prediction
has never yet been fulfilled, but real
estate has advanced to price which
is beyond reason. You cannot build
up and make town prosper by put
ting your real estate beyond the
reach of the common people. Rents
and other values in Heron Lake are
too high for the prosperity of the
town, ana Cne-sOOner our lanOeu
capitalists realize this fact the sooner
will Heron Lake advance to the po-
sition to which it is entitled by its
natural and artificial advantages
Heron Lake News.
We believe the News does it's town
an injustice. At the time the pre-
diction was made business lots we're
selling at $125 each; now a nicely
located lot will readily bring more
than $500. There are few towns the
size of Heron Lake that annually do
as much business. It is a splendid
trading point, and is getting better
every year.
