FARM FOR SALE OR LEASE,

We call attention to our find Of glass
sand, bed 60 feet deep, covering at
least five acres, situated about u mile
from depot at Marion, Ky. This prop
erty is easily mined; plenty Of water
in easy reach. 1t is in line with the
zinc and spar mines, and only about u
mile from the Lucille Mines. Expert
glass makers have pronounced it, by
actual test, to be the best quality.
Plenty Of coal near by. Here is fine,
location for glass factory, as the raw
is here. Also a fine location
for waterworks; lake covering 10 acres
easily made by dam 40 feet high, by
100 yards long. Enough to amply sup
ply any factory and the town Of Marion,
which is in need OF water all the time.
The lake would be supplied by living
water and drainage of rs acres. II in

LIFE AGAIN
will Flourish in the Town OF
HIndoston, Ind.

Shoals, Ind, Dec. after a
lapse OF lightweight years the
wonderful water power at Hindos-
ton falls on White river near here
is to be again utilized. In 1916 a
company of Eastern capitalists
was formed and town laid out at
the falls. SawmiIls, gristmills,
the Hindoston Stone Company
and various other enterprises were
started and did fourishing bust
ness for several years. The power
to operate these plants was pro-
cured by a dam erected across the
river at the falls. After many
years successful operation an cpl
demic locally called the black
plague appeared and literally
swept the town from the face of
the earth. The county seat and
county buildings were removed to
another town, and with them went
all the stores, mills and business
ofthe place, which then was
ri 'al to Vincennes, Henderson and
Louisville. The houses we've re
moved, destroyed by the elements
or permitted to decay, and for
more than sixty years the old site
of the town has been cultivated

Necessity of Law to Prohibit Sale of

From a Physician.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, May 21-The alarming
growth of the cocaine habit among
the negroes of Mississippi has sug-
gested the necessity of the next legis-

providing that the purchase of the
deadly drug without the prescription
of a physician shall constitute a
felony instead of misdemeanor as at
present provided by the statutes. In
some sections of the state the negro
population is becoming almost demol-
ished on account of the habit, and
druggists fiagrantly violate the law
by selling the drug in large quantities
without prescriptions.
