BEST GAME EVER PLAYED HERE.
The Football Game Last Friday After
noon Close Contest from Start
to Finish, and Very Exciting.

Those who witnessed the football
game at the fair grounds last Friday
afternoon between the DEBORAH (Valder
College) and Hopkinton (Lenox Col
lege) teams saw without question the
best game Of football ever played in
DEBORAH, and a contest that was clean
and spirited throughout. 1t was won
by the Hopkinton boys fairly and
honestly, but they had to put up a
game such as they never played before,
and such as they will likely not soon
play again. 1t was anybody's game
throughout the whole period, and the
fact that they securedsthe only touch
down of the game does not mean that
they did not have to fight for it. The
game ended with the ball on Hopkin-
toms territory, where the DEBORAH
team had taken 1t very close to the
goal line. The superior weight of the
DEBORAH team was outclassed by the
training and good head work of the
Hopkinton boys. The score was to 0
in Hopkinton's favor. The lineup
was as follows:

Some Facts of Public Interest.

am now prepared to offer lands in
South Dakota at prices from S. per
acre up, located near railroad and
market.
All lands are good i'm South Dakota,
having rich soil, capable of raising all
kinds of crops same as Iowa, where
lands sell from $50 per acre up. If you
are thinking of buying lands in
Dakota for speculation or actual use
call and see me at once, because thou
sands are going to South Dakota and
buying now and thousands will con-
tinue to go and buy other lands. Prices
are advancing and will continue to add
vance. Lands are good investment
because they will not get away, and
never again will be as cheap as at the
present time. Call at our office and
let me convince you that no better
chance for investment can be offered.

More Electric Railway Talk.

! This continuous talk and speculation
about an electric railroad from DEBORAH
TO Chatfield, Mimi, via Preston, and
also from DEBORAH to Lansing, via
Waukon, certainly ought to be pro-
duclive of results sooner or later. 1t is
now claimed that an Incorporation for
the building of the road has been
formed, but we are unable to substan-
tate it further than that the dailies
state that it is called the Minnesota
and Iowa Electric Railway Company,
with headquarters at Preston. We
feel sure that DEBORAH will do her
share in promoting this enterprise if ii
should assume definite proportions.

IT is the opinion Of the Grocery
World that advertising is news, since
it tells the people of the existence of
some desirable article and from whom
and at what price said article may be
obtained. AS news the proper place
for advertising is in the newspaper,
and it is to the newspaper that people
look for it. While advertising does not
create needs, it often does make people
aware of their needs. The news which
calls attention to an article also makes
the reader realize that he wants it.

A pathetic incident of an ungraded
crossing accident out in the northeastern
end of the city was the tragic death of
a dog, which, before it could utter the
faintest wall of protest was caught I'M
der the grinding wheels of the locomo-
tive and crushed to a shapeless mass, says
the Detroit Free Press. There were many
expressions of pity for the fate of the
poor dumb brute, and one sympathetic
lady had been almost moved to call the
coroner when heavily built man advance
ed to the body of the animal and pro-
ceeded to make a critical examination.
Good, kind man." said one of the wo-
men bystanders, perhaps he's going to
give the poor thing a respectable burial"
Suddenly the man shocked the sensibil-
tiles of the spectators by whipping out
his knife and cutting the collar from the
dogs neck. The first presumption was
that he was the owner of the deceased
dog, and that he wanted to save the tag
for another dog but he disa abused this
speculation by remarking as he walked
away:
WELL I'm certainly lucky cuss.
Things comes to me just like finding 'em.

FLOWERS FoR MARKET,

1t is said that in the little state of Con-
necticut there are more than 100000 square
feet of glass devoted wholly to the grow
ing of flowers for market No doubt
other states of the North give proportion
ately as much space to flowers for COM
mercial purposes besides which there are
tens of thousands of private hot houses
and Conservatives in which millions OF
Towering plants are grown. In the Nortn
the warm season is only long enough 10
give plants bloom in the open AIR,
therefore they must be protected under
glass for long time. Nor is the North
capable of growing all of the flowers 1t
makes use of. About Easter time, which
comes North before the frost is well out
of the ground, there is big demand for
flowers, especially lilies Bermuda an
nually receives thousands and thousands
Of dollars for the Easter lilies which she
sends to New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and other Northern cities. Why should
all of that money be sent to Bermuda,
when it might as well stop in Florida?
Florida is growing Bermuda onions, Ber-
muda potatoes, etc; is 1t not reasonable
10 suppose she could grow Bermuda lilies
as well? AS a matter of fact lilies as
fine as can be produced in the world are
already being grown in Florida, but SO
far nobody seems to have gone into the
business regularly for supplying the
Northern markets. Florida lilies might be
shipped to a Northern destination in
shorter time, and arrive in better shape,
than is possible from the island of Ber-
muda.
The semi-tropical climate of South
Georgia and Florida is especially suited to
the growing of flowers. The floral wealth
of the Peninsular State. indeed, gave it
its name. Oddly enough, however, the
most of the flowers are grown in the
North. Down here we pay little atten-
ton to their commercial possibilities In
cold Pennsylvania and New York, and
colder Michigan, several men have be-
come millionaires in the seed business,
twithstanding they were under the
necessity of providing expensive glass
covers for their young plants. In South
ern Florida there would never be neces-
sity for covering young plants. Bulbs for
hyacinths, tube roses and the various
other bulb-plants could be brought prac-
tically to maturity in Florida in time for
shipment to the North to catch the early
spring warmth and delight the North
erners with strong, perfect early open-air
blooms. 1t seems there ought to be
money in the bulb and seed business in
m ho
go about the business intelligently and
are willing to give time and patience to
the work of building up a reputation.
