CORN ALL PLANTED.
Enterp ising Farmers at Leon Have
Prospects for Abundant Harvest

FEOePcChb TOT NDundaRt 7dfNebI
Capt Jer c. Johnson. a prosperous
farmer OF Leon, says to a newspaper
man that the masses OF the farmers
Of that section have already planted
their corn. Notwithstanding the ex.
cessiye rains and backward spring.
they took advantage of every fair
day and by that means have sue
ceeded in getting their seed in the
ground. Although the Leon country
is one Of the finest agricultural sec
tions Of the Chickasaw nation, corn
and cotton are the principal farm
products. but little small grain being
raised. The fertile lands would doubt.
less grow small grain to perfection,
but on account Of the poor facilities
offered for marketing cereals Of that
kind, little is raised.
Mr.. Johnson reports the ground in the
best condition he has seen it in years
and predicts an abundant crop Of all
kinds in his country.

the houses for the people 10 live In.
1t must be remembered the railroad
will be built this spring and that
means a large addition to our city.
Let our business men organize a
company and put carpenters at
work at once to building houses.
We are on the eve of big boom

permanent,s so those who can should
take the matter In hand at once
and erect some houses. We need
