UNUSUAL FEAT OF BUiLDIN.~
A Five-Room Cottage Erected and
Painted in Ten Hours. =:

The unusual feat of building a flre-
room cottage, including foundation,
| plastering and putting on one coat OF
paint, in q day of ten hours with a
cost to the owner OF nothing more
than a chicken dinner for the work
| ingmen, outside of the material, was
| perform d this week in the little nam
| let CT Maple Gro.e, near Evansville.
| The man for whom the cottage was
, built was Homer Rose and the men
who did him the kindness were fel-
| low employees. The work was super
intended by Dee Bacher, contract
ing carpenter.
Mr.. Rose has had lumber and other
| material on the ground for months.
After these were bought he discov-
cred that he could not go on with
his house for lack of means. Mr..
Bacher called lis men around him one
evening and asked for volunteers for
one day to build the Rose cottage.
Many thought it would be impossible
to build it in one workday, but the
complish the feat if the men il his
employ would do the work. Twenty
six carpenters, masons and painters
agreed to give one Cay if Mr.. Rose
would furnish a chicken dinner, and
tims was fixed when al! should re-
port at the site of the proposed
building.
Every man came on time. The
brick masons went to work laying
the foundation. while the carpea AIS
busted themselves in cutting Tle
jo!sts, studding and sil.s. Every nSn
was assigned to particular part OF
tie work and the house began to go
up with a rush. Hundreds of persons
gathered about ard watched che
workmen. Each Of the latter urged
mis- fellows on. and whsn noon came
the framework was all up and the
chimney had been started.
Then came the dinner. Mrs. Rose,
assisted by some of her neighbors,
had fried two dozen chickens. There
were ten loaves of bread. four dolen
ears of boiled corn. NJ ar.y buSnel
Of mashed potatoes and bowl after
bowl of gravy The dessert consisted
of peach cobbler and various kinds OF
pies. The contractor had to call Off
his men for fear that they would "at
so much that they would not be able
to finish the job.
AS soon as the frames were set for
the windows and doors the sasEes
were fitted and the lights put in. By
this tins. however. the laths had been
put cn the inside and the sheathfng
and weather boarding was beng
placed on the outside and the chinl-
ney was being run up by the nlasols,
all at the same time. Before the roof
was on the plasterers were ct wc"k,
and exactly at o'clock the cottage
was finished, all but the second coat
of paint and the skim coat Of plaster,
neither of which could be put on ua-
til the first coat had dried.
Mr.. Bacher complimented his me1
when the job was complete. He said
that while ne had done some hurry"
work in his time hs' had never known
house to be begun and completed
in a day. The cottage contains five
well-lighted rooms and large attic.
Everything, even to putting on the
hinges and locks. was done besore
the men were called off at 6 o'c,cck,
and Mr.. Dacher declares that he
could have completed the work an
hour earlier had not the men eaten
so freely at dinner-Indianapclis

Big LAND SALE ON
SUNFLOWER RIVER.
Eight Thousand Acres Purchased By
Northern Capitalists.

The Belzoni Enterprise tells Of the
sale of large TRACK Of land on the Sun
flower river, the purchases being made
by northern capitalists. The tract en-
braces eight thousand acres and Is one Of
the finest properties in this section Of thu
State. Land is considered high in the Del
Ia, and compared with prices few years
ago it is high, but it seems the limit has
not been reached, and there is every
indication that the present prices will
be considered cheap in a few years
from now. Parties coming in to buy
generally register a kick against the
prices, but as a rule the they buy before
they leave, and we know Of none who
who are dissatisfied with their trades.
The Delta is great couutry and there
are many good things left to the man
who knows them and is not afraid to-
risk his Judgment.

The host of friends of Joshua
R. Rice in this city will regret
to learn he is critically i'll in a
hospital at Pittsburg. He has
bladder affiiction, and the doctors
held a consultation yesterday and
decided it was necessary to per-
form an operation today in order
to save the life Of the patient.
Mr.. Rice is very weak, and it is
quite doubtful as to whether he
will be able to withstand the oper-
alton. He is a brother of W. F.
Rice, of this city, and is resi-
dent of East Liverpool, o. He re-
sided here for many years, locat-
ing in the Ohio city about two
years ago.

In Society.

The short but gay Easter social
season opened on Monday, and a
large number of entertainments
of various sorts are scheduled. n
great many of them are planned
for the younger set, the young
men and girls who are home
from college and school for the
spring vacation, but others are
to be given in honor OF The pros
pective brides. Of the strictly
social affairs planned the most
important that has been annormc-
ed to date is the dance OH Friday
evening next to be given in the
City hail by the Virginia club.
Much interest is centered in the
approaching event by the men,
bers of the elite society set of
the city, and the OCCASION will
doubtless be a very enjoyable
one. Quite a number Of other
smaller social affairs are being
arranged in many parts of the
city, and will, in al probability,
occur within the next few days.
