there was not crop failure in any

It was better. Fairly considered, one

PRowERs COUNTY.
Ises Has Been a Banner Year In
Its History


short space OF one issue to give any
thing like detailed statement Of
what has been accomplished in Prov
ers county the past year, but We can
give q brief summary of few of the
leading Improvements. The enter
prise of our citizens in securing the
visit Of the editorial association last
summer has spread the fame of the
development of this section all over
the country. and there are hundreds
Interested in the progress OF the
county where there were tens before.
For three years the greatest work
in the county has been that of the
Great Plains Water Company, and
the constantly increasing greatness
of their operations IS Just beginning
TO open the eyes of the majority Of
our people to the grand possibilities
of Prowers county and the faith that
capital has in its resources. Even
vet all of their intentions cannot be
guessed, but it is certain that they
intend to more than double the irri-
gated area of the county, give it the
most reliable water service in the
valley, and settle up the vacant lands
with an industrious aud substantial
class of farmers.
Another most important feature OF
the year is the remarkable increase
in the yield of grain. Where 20 or
% bushels of wheat TO the acre used
TO be considered good yield, 35 or
40 bushels is common now, and so
by no means unusual. Corn, oats
and other grains are making like in
creases in yield. This is due TO the
improving condition of the soil, the
better water supply, and the better
knowledge of farming by irrigation
which our people have acquired by
actual experience. The present yield
and prices makes all the staple crops
profitable here, and ii can no longer
be charge that we stake our all on
alfalfa
There has been larger increase
in the number of actual settlers in
the county than in any year since it
was created, the registration for the
year showing that nearly 300 families
have located here during the twelve
months, and the substantial aud
costly nature of the improvements
they are making show that they have
come here to stay aud are men of
sufficient means and experience to
make a success FROM the start.
In fruit the county this year for
the first time took rank as a consid-
cradle producer, especially of plums,
peaches, cherries and apples This
is the result of the large quantities
of fruit trees planted here in the
past few years, and the production is
certain to increase rapidly now, max
ing this county in few years one of
the heaviest fruit shippers of the
state. The melon industry has been
established here during the year and
promises to prove very profitable.
The large amount of stock being fed
here insures a market for the i'm
mense hay crop of the county at good
profits. Taking it altogether the
people of this county have no room
for complaint against 1898 and much
to hope from 1899
The widespread knowledge of the
great crops raised here and vast i'm
proYements being made will cause
the stream of incoming settlers to
increase for years to come, as there
is still plenty Of irrigated land that
can be secured at reasonable rates.

The Thriving Young City Winds up
the Year of Greatest Prosperity.

work commencing on the line new
hotel, has just closed with list OF
new contracts made which insures an
even greater building boom for 1899
than that OF the past year. In fact
the contractors have been unable to
supply labor and material fast enough
to do the work which the citizens
are anxious to contract for
The remarkable increase OF build.
ing for the past few years has been
the legitimate result of the rapidly
increasing business and population
Of the city caused by the prosper
ous aud thriving condition OF the
surrounding country. There are nov
! number of families living ia tents
because they are unable to obtain
houses aud several business firms
that ooly await a suitable store room
to open up in business.
The fine Union Hotel was com
pleted during the year. and now
gives our city ample first class Re
commodstiuns for her numerous Wis
itors. This building is a monument
70 the enterprise and push OF Lamar's
business men. The hotel is now en-.
ioyiug a fine and constantly improy-
ing patronage, aud the stranger with
in our gates is much better satisfied
individual now.
Another enterprise OF our business
men during 1898 which helps to make
our town the most popular town with
strangers Is the Lamar Commercial
Club. II was organized early in the
year and has rooms in the handsome
Huddleston building. These rooms
we're fitted out without regard TO ex.
pense and the club is in flourishing
condition. 1; has already done a
great deal Of effective work for La.
mar and promises to be chief factor
in its future growth.
Another leading enterprise OF the
year was the establishing of the elec
tric light plant This enterprise was
like most every one started here the
work of Lamar citizens and Lamar
capital. The city now enjoys the
best light it has ever had, aud the
fact that over six hundred lights
have already been sold in a small
city like this shows how our citizens
appreciate the enterprise.
The year 1898 opened with work
on the new hotel beginning, and the
first weeks of 1899 will see work
commence on the next most needed
institution here, fine opera house
The town has long needed large
public hall, and Lamar business men
are again to the front, several Of
them furnishing the necessary capital
aud the building will soon be under
way
The buildings either completed or
under way during the year amount
to about $4,000 and han that
amount is already contracted 10 be
built during the present year. The
constant demand for both business
and residence houses will cause a large
increase in the amount of building
to be done this year.
Among the principal new business
institutions added this year have
been the electric light plant, the new
hotel, lumber yard, one dry goods
and one clothing store, two grocery
stores, new meat market, a melon
association, and many smaller busi
ness concerns. For town, which
has always been well supplied with
business houses this is a remarkable

1t seems that one fire alarm is usual
ly soon followed by the second, so this
morning about 7.l5 o'clock, before the
tircmen had time to dry the hose from
the fire the day before, the department
was called ont again. This time the
fire was in Ward |, at the residence of
Mr.. Geo. NJ. Kinard. The bureau in
the bed room was covered with flames
when discovered and all the contents
Of the drawers were more or less dam
aged. The bureau was carried out of

The fire was caused by the lamI =,

The Excelsior Fire Company was as

few seconds although it was not needed.
Mr.. Kinard estimates his loss at
about $50.

a MONEY. M AIIISG CItOp,


A number of citizens of Ncwbcrry
met yesterday afternoon in j. D..
DavcnpOrL's o.;ice to take into consider
alton the question Of Introducing the
culLure OF tobacco into Newbcrry
County.
MIR. G. j. Purcell acted Us chairman
and Eduard Scholtz was secretary Of
the meeting.
Mr.. }. w. White made Il statement
q The result OF investigation Of tobacco
culture in North Carolina during his
! recent visit there. He thought it
| would be Il profitable crop for this Sec
! tiun. He IS very enthusiastic on this
question.
Mr.. Gilmore, Of Greensboro, N. G..
was present. He is familiar with the
cultivation OF tobacco and the methods
employed in preparing it for market
His statement was interesting and pre-
sented some encouraging facts.
1t was agreed to make an effort to
| organize stock company with Il cap
| ital of $400 in order 20 make fair ex-
| pertinent for the introduction OF tob,t-
CO culture.
A committee, consisting Of Mcssrs
e. =. Puwley, J. w. White and S. u.
Crotwcll, was appointed to solicit sub
, scriptions to the capital stock. Shares
were placed at $40 each, and tho COM
mittcc hopes that forty persons will
be speedily found to take all the
stock.
The movement is Il good one, and as
our farmers must diversity their crops,
they should try tobacco as II money
maker.
Another meeting will be held Mon
day afternoon at }. ID. DuvcnporL's Of
fee, when the committee hopes to max e
good report.
The committee began Il canvass this
morning for subscription.
1t will require about $lO0 to make
the experiment, and all who take stock
will most probably get their money
back in dividends even in the expert
mental stage Of the movement -Obser-
