drawn out anxiety as to the result of
their labors, should get up an i'm

Fourth Of July celebrations, for as
We said before thing were doing"
in Lamar that night, and for three
hours whistles, bells, horns, drums,
bonfires, speeches aud yell were the
order OF the night, while staid old
business men who haven't been boys
for twenty years before were cake
walking up and down Main street.
1t was hot time while it lasted and
enabled our citizens to work off their
surplus feelings SO that they settled
down next day as calm as il the

The benefits which will accrue to
Lamar and the whole county have
been gone over SO often heretofore
that it is useless to repeat them now,
but it is a certainty that all real es-
tate in the entire county is worth
from so per cent to 100 per cent
moro today than 1t WAS a week ago,
and all sections and all towns will be
benefited accordingly.
The plans for the new factory have
already been drawn and the work Of
construction will begin at once and

soon be at work on the site of the
factory. The building will be lurge
and imposing one and the factory
will give employment to 300 men

would probably be located in . few
hours, but there has been SO many
slips since the announcement that
we had secured . beet sugar factory,
which was made year ago, that we
did not care to be too positive until
it was definitely announced by the
officials of the company.
About 8 o'clock on last Thursday
night the officials of the American

by which they purchased the Bent

to build factory thereon and com

land was $12. 800. The business men
of Lamar on their part agreed to see
that 1000 acres objects were raised
here next year, an4All our citizens
should give their hearty assistance
in seeing that this contract is carried
out
Thus after two years Of hard work
by the business men and farmers Of
Lamar and vicinity, and much
knocking on the part Of some people
this great enterprise is assured, and
will be built and conducted by the
most experienced and most reliable
company which is manufacturing
beet sugar today. This last is an
additional reason why our people
should feel jubilant over the result
Of their long and hard labors, and
also feel we'll paid for both.
