Kicks and Squibs
From ROunder

OOOOOOOOoO OOOOOOOOOOOOo
d OUNDER notices that a new
~ chicken coop has been built in
the rear OF the Baptist Parsonage.
What does this mean? Has it come
to pass that a popular pr eacher like
Mr.. Oates has to raise his own chickens
and eggs? Or do his flock bring in so
many chickens that he cannot use
them all at once, and has to build a
coop in which to keep them for
"rainy day? Chicken feed is rath-
err scarce at his house, as he has only
three Oates on which to feed them.
How true the following is: "Life's
like polka. Chance gives the cards.
We only play what's dealt u.s." But
considerable depends on the 'cut.'
Honesty Is said to be like the govt:
1t runs in certain families for several
generations and then it skips gen.
Grafton. But ones enemies are sell
dom blessed with it.
1t is said that the death rate in
Chicago has increased 30 per cent
among children and aged people as a
result of the coal famine. Are the
coal barons less guilty of murder than
the man who deliberately shoots TO
kill?

LAKE HELEN,

Lake Helen, February lO.-The
Bonds are progressing rapidly on their
plant. Their machinery building, ~
by 70, with outlying roots, hot water
tanks for soaking the logs and drying
frames, are all we'll advanced. The
founda ton for their warehouse, 81 by
60, two stories, is laid, and in few
days they will begin to cut veneering'
They will manufacture and put up
material for all kinds of vegetable
and pineapple crates, and expect to
employ forty to fifty hands when they
get to running full capacity. They
will put in later an automatic dryer
80 that there will be continuous pro-
cess from the logs to the finished prod
uct.
At the annual meeting of the Lake
Helen Manufacturing Company held
recently, the following were chosen
directors for the coming year: 5. +.
Hopkins, Naugatuck, Conn; F. b.
Holden, Boston, Mass; E. Nelson
Blake, Arlington, Mass; Howard B.
Tuttle, Naugatuck, Conn; A. H. Day
ton, Naugatuck, Conn. The directors
appoint the officers. The factory
commenced to grind cassava yester-
dav. and will run on that while 1t
lasts. The company now employs
about seventy-fye men.
There have been more transfers OF
real estate here in the last two
months than for Ave years before.

SMYRNA LAND SALE.
Most Of the Property Bought in by
Home People.

The public sale of the Andrews
property was held Tuesday and
Wednesday and the entire property
was sold. Most of the property was
purchased by residents of the town,
some of it evidently for speculation.
Nearly all the lots are worth great
deal more than was paid for them, but
it is hoped that the new owners will
nut them on the market again, and at
reasonable prices, which we have no
doubt they will do. In fact, many Of
the purchasers have said that they
would sell their lots at small advance
to persons who would build on them.
There is no prettier section in Flor
ida, either for home or a business
location, and with little hustling
and iudicious advertising, there will
be many new buildings erected on
them in the next few years. But If
they are held at prices that will scare
away purchasers, the owners will
probably never reap any benefit from
their investment.
Some of the purchasers will proba.
bly build cottages on their lots at an
early date. This would necessitate
the opening of new streets through
the Andrews tract, and these im.
provements will help sell the other
lots. Again we say, with a little
push, and hustle, there is no reason
why a large number of pretty and
substantial buildings should not be
erected on this beautiful tract of land
within the next few years.

Senator Blackburn said: What will You
