Mr.. c. w. Maxwell, Of Fair River,
has purchased the right to sell Welch's
Map of Lincoln County, which was
adopted as the official map Of the
county at the last meeting of the board
of supervisors. 1t is an excellently ex-
ecuted piece of workmanship, htho-
graphed on first class psper. The beat
boundaries and school districts, public
roads and principal streams, are dis
tinctly marked. 1t shows the ranges,
townships, sections, aud sections sub
divided into forty acre lots. The Choc-
taw boundary line running through
the northern portion Of the county is
marked and the puzzling lots formed
by this irregular line are clearly shown
In fact, the map contains everything
that a county map should and is In.
valuable to farmers owning land, to
business men and to students. A copy
ought to be in every school and In
every home in the county. From il
can be gained information concerning
the county which can be had in nc
other way aud teachers will find it OF
value also In impartlng knowledge Of
land measuring aud numbering.
Mr.. Maxwell Is selling these maps al
REMARKABLY low figure considering
the amount of work necessary to gel
them up, and besides will Plot the pur
chaser's land either along the trace oil

ment Of itself. Mr., Maxwell thorough

other hand, the Pops got thousands OF
votes Ia November upon the distinct
pledge that the shilly-shally policy OF

would be tabooed and the people given
a chance to say whether or not they

that it could not be put back into its

people as the source OF all authority: Ia
hold 10 the initiative and referend-
UNI, in which the people themselves
should always pass upon every meas
ure in which they are directly and per
sonally interested. This tenet presses
them upon one side. while the preach
erS are holding meetings and passing
resolutions to the effect that if the Pop
legislature dares TO submit the prohibi-
ton question to the people. it's good bye
