y WHAT SHALL THIS MAN DO, n: a

~ WHAT SHALL THIS MAN nov q
A gentleman living in Kentucky
writes asking some advice. He lives
on q forty acre farm, the soil Of which
is none too good. He has wife and
twelve children, all under age. He says
that it is hard for them to make liv-
Ing from this poor little piece Of land
and wants US to tell him where to go
so that he can better his condition He
can scrape up about $1,000 to start
with somewhere else. 1t is a delicate
business attempting to advise man
so situated, and about all we feel like
doing Is to state few facts for his
consideration. In the first place, we
notice that southern bred people sell
dom feel at home in the Worthless SO,
we think, than northern people who
seek homes in the southland for this
reason tt would not seem best for our
friend to seek home in the north or
northwest. 1t would look as though
with such family he would be spe-
cially we'll fixed to get hold Of truck
farm In the SOUTH where early vege-
tables and berries could be produced
for the northern market There ara
much. profit and reasonable safety and
certainty In this business, which is be-
ing developed at rapid rate in North
Carolina and many Of the Atlantic
coast sections. We are reliably in
formed that very fair quality Of land
-timbered-ca be bought on easy
terms contiguous to lines Of railway
and that the three crops of strawber-
ries, potatoes and string beans can be
raised and put on the eastern markets
80 early that more clean money can be
made from twenty-five acres in such
crops than can be made of the best
eighty acre farm in the west. A man
with such family has no right to SO
locate that his children will be de-
prived Of all educational advantages,
and frontier location too often In
wolves: this. There are other good loca-
tons in Louisiana and Arkansas
whore fruit raising and poultry keep
Ing could be made very profitable. The
trouble is that men situated Just as our
friend Is do not know just where to go,
and for all such so situated we would
advise sending for all the literature
which can be obtained descriptive Of
those localities where land is cheap.
This literature may be obtained of the
passenger or land agents Of any Of the
railways of the state land commits
sioners OK state auditors-in fact, al
most any citizen will give information
touching his locality when written to.
Get all this information together, then
decide where to look first and make g
personal inspection. The chances are
that you will thus find the place you
seek,

Sustained Painful Injuries.

NJ. M. Wallace, who lives on
Lipan Flat, sustained severe in
jurles Friday morning while as

curing while the smoke stack was
being lowered. Mr.. Wallace was
standing on the boiler, while the
smoke stack was being lowered
with ropes and i'll catching at it
fell and was considerably bruised
up and rendered unconscious for
a short time. The other men
we're engaged in holding the ropes

will confine him to his room for
several days, yet no bones were
broken, and he is reported to be
getting on as nicely as could be
expected,
