to sell at very good prices. Real es-
tate men report plenty of buyers, but
the list Of farms on the market grows
smaller and il is more difficult now

property that can be bought cheap.
Our land has not yet reached the top
price is the opinion Of well posted
men.
Richard Hicks, the negro who for
knocking out one Of Deaf-and-Dumb
Pats eyes. was given six months on

his sentence for the assault upon Pat,
and this fact makes il all the more
aggrayating.

comfortably seating 400 persons,
which will add much To the attractive
ness of ball playing.
People frequently enquire Of US
where we received our information
concerning such and such person,
also who wrote this article or that. To
impart information along this line Is
against the rules of newspaper office,
and our friends and patrons will please
bear this in mind and not annoy us
with inquiries. We are ready to cor

Why not make the best Of things as
they come to us2 There are certain
ones i'm this town who have been COM
planning Of hard times ever since we
knew them. They could not enjoy
the last few weeks Of a warm winter
for fear the fruit buds would start and
then be killed. They know that crops
will be a failure this year. There is
always something disastrous going to
happen, II is just as cheap and you
are worth more to your family and
the town if you will look on the sunny
side Of life.
