$40 ACRES FOR S64,OOO.
+. V. Crouch Makes Payment OH d.
HOrville Land East of Town at
that Figure

BY all odds the biggest real estate
transaction in this county for many
day was started Wednesday afternoon
when Mr.. F. V. Crouch, of the Electric
Street Railway, made good sized
payment in cash on an agreement
signed by Mr.. d. Horville for the lat
ter's 320 acre farm east of lola, the
price to be 5000 an acre, or a total of
S64, 900.
The land in question being right east
of the street railway power house, be-
tween it and the creek, and extends
half mile north and mile east
along the east road. The land is
average farm land, worth from twenty
five to fifty dollars an acre, but its
chief value is in the fact that git has
no gas lease on it and is in the heart
of developed gas territory. Mr..
Horville has owned the land for per-
haps ten years, during which time it
has paid taxes and interest. He never
leased any of it and has refused nu-
merous offers for small tracts of it.
Mr.. Crouch offered him 81, 900 for an
acre close to where the power house is
and was refused.
To be sure Mr.. Crouch makes no
claim TO having S64,0 900 in loose
change about him, but is very positive
that he will find the money to COM
plete the deal. Mr.. Horville has held
the land until he has secured the price
he wanted and he wished Mr.. Crouch
good luck and that he may make a
good thing out of it also. And it has
the ear marks of being very good
transaction for lola.
Without being definitely told what
his plans are the REGISTER can figure
out way in which that deal means
Greater lola in the year 1902. Mr.
Crouch is a money getter. Those who
dispute that know not where of they
speak. He has interested some $780,

wayto securing factoriesIfor that land.
There are plenty of factories available
which can be located on free land with
a gas we'll privilege. A short distance
to the west is an excellent body OF
water which has defed the unpreced.
ented drouth.
Perhaps town will spring up on part
of this land. Close to the factories
which may be located there houses for
workmen should follow and perhaps a
store or two. Across the tract.switches
would be built and the unlimited cleo
trio power which can be generated at
the power house would light the plants
and supply motive power. The switch
ing to and from these works would
make the lectric line a profitable busi-
ness. But the railroads would object?
What is there to prevent the repeat
edly talked-of line from LaHarpe to
Girard2 An electric line or steam
line. Either would make connection
with the Memphis and the Frisco
That would connect lola with another
large system and would simply be the
building of line that has been often
talked of.
And so the deal may mean more fac
tories, more morkmen, more lola,
more railroads. 1t removes the en-
barrassment in which lola has been
placed by the inability to supply pros
pective industries with sites and gas.
For the interest of the man or men
who have secured this land and the
interest of lola are one and the same
In this connection it will be of inter-
est to know that new gas we'll was
opened up short time ago at the
northwest corner of this Horville
ract. The new we'll was drilled by
tIola men as a prospecting hole. 1t is
located exactly half mile north of
the excellent gusher found at the
power house. Mr.. j. G. Noble reports
that he made careful test of this new
we'll and he says it is a fine we'll, with
a capacity of 1000, 600 feet daily. The
we'll is half mile north of of pre-
viously developed land and extends
the field indefinitely. Moreover it
puts a fine we'll at the southwest
corner of the Horville tract to cores
pond with the big we'll at the south
west corner.
In the year of Grace 1902 lola may
yet break all records.

Representative Wachter's Smile.

Representative Wachter of Maryland is
the chairman of the House committee on en-
rolled bills. The duties OF this committee
make it necessary for its chairman to make
frequent visits to his committee room. In
doing this Mr.. Wachter always passes in
and out of the main door of the House, the
one directly opposite the Speakers chair.
Now comes the story. Whenever Mr..
Wachter pushes his way through the swing
ing mahogany doors into the House he in
variably has a broad grin on his face,
and sometimes the ring of his merry laugh
can be heard in the hall before he arrives.
Why this is always So is the question
which has been for a long time arousing
the curiosity of members who sit near this
door, and the other day an inspection COM
mittee was. appointed and stationed on the
outside.
Along came Mr.. Wachter with his pecu-
liar stride. In his left hand he CARED a
package of enrolled bills" Just before he
reached the House door up went his right
arm to salute" The messengers and
doorkeepers at the door Immediately lined
up and stood at attention" When
Wachter got within speaking distance he
drawled out with nasal twang, "Mornin',
men, "Morn:n', boss was the answer in
chorus, and then came Wachter's ringing
laugh, and on his face was the usual smile
when he pushed his way into the House.
That's the regulation way he always en-
tiers the House, said one of the attend
ants, and the inspection committee went
back and made satisfactory report.

paper was review of the work in applied
chemistry now being done by American
chemists Nearly all of these investigators.

high praise accorded them excited much
discussion.
