When a man puts his wits
together and invents machin-
cry that saves money to the
farmer, the manufacturer or
the planter he is called the foe
to labor. The fact that he
gives to the world the means
of producing staples at less
cost, and consequently be-
comes a benefactor of the
masses indirectly is not re-
cognized. That he has taken
work from an individual or
certain classes of wage work
ers is sufficient cause for the
condemnation that is landed
on his head.
The man who invented the
sugar land implements that
we sell did that which acts to
a certain degree as an Offset
to any tariff Legislation in the
United States.
A whole colony of Planta-
ton laborers could not do in
one day what an Avery Stub
bic Digger operated by one
man can perform. 1t saves
labor and consequently coin.
In distributing fertilizers every |
plantation manager knows
that it cannot be done by hand
without loss of material. By
the use of the Avery Fertilizer
Distributor the material is
spread so evenly that there
no loss whatever, and one
man with one Of these machines
can do as much work as
nine without it.
The results that follow the
Use of these implements ap-
ply as well to the Stubble

ee of their usefulness.

Although heard Miss Comstock read her
able paper on the early history OF this
county, yet | read it in your last issue with a
good deal of interest. | notice in it a few
minor mistakes. In her first paragraph the
inference is drawn that the price of govern
ment land had been above Sl.25 which was
not the case. The sentence should read, "re-
duced from Sl.25 TO fifty cents" am not
certain but that act reduced the price of land
from Sl2j all the way down to twelve and
One-half cents the longer the land had been
in the market the lower the price. The land
in this county having been in market over
twenty years, the price was reduced TO fifty
cents. Again, she says: AT special ses-
sion OF the board of supervisors, held Feb.
II, lSJ6, the county seat was established at
Ithaca 1t was previously established at
Alma; at the session of 1896 1t was removed
to Ithaca. Again, she quotes from the old
records that st. Louis claims the honor of
the first frame school house, in 1888. Our
ST. Louis friends will never be blamed for
not claiming enough of any good thing, by
the south part of the county. The first
frame school house erected in the county l.
still standing in a good state of preservation
on the center of section 81 in Fulton, and
was bulls in the spring of 1856. The first
term of school was taught the same summer
