The Country Editor.

1t occurred to us thus week rs we ran
over our forty or fifty exchanges to note
the moral tone of them. These papers
are all sizes and grades, from every va.
riety OF town, and are edited by practical
men who are pretty well acquainted
with the world, the flesh and the devil
In not one OF them did we find a defense
oil immortality. In not one Of them was
there trace of vulgarity, and none
taught or justified dishonesty. Neither
could we find a sneer at purity, at relig
ION, at the better things of life. In
many OF them were excellent bits Of ad.
vice, little homely sermons on temper
ance, frugahty and industry. All Of
them loyal to their home town, and ad-
vocated honest principles in government
and individual. Wherever there was
mention of the public schools it was in
terms Of praise. To be sure here and
there was some fun poked at shams.
some scorn at pretense. But the note in
every one of these two scores of papers
was for decency, progress, enlighten-
ment, morality And of the editors, we
know many of them personally, and of
all those we know not one is a drinking
man not one is a gambler, not one is a
libertine. Most of them are well read,
most Of them good judges of people and
events. A pretty decent lot they are in
tact We doubt if any other profession
can offer higher--or even as high
showing. Besides all this, the country
editor Is proverbially liberal, frechearted
in every way. No stray printer goes
away hungry, if he has a quarter. No
public subscription list ever passes him
without his mite. He gives freely of
time and space to the public welfare,
This is not an effort to throw a bouquet
at our contemporaries; but with Paul,
we believe every man should magnify his
calling, and We are proud of ours.-Col

DIVIDE LAND VALUES
RAPIDLY ADVANCING
Many Ranches Being Sold at an
Advance of From 100 to 900
Per Cent. Over Former
Valuations.

Here is good illustration of the rapid
increase of land values in the Ebert 10
cality. Two years ago George Gresham
bought 100 acres three and half miles
west of Elbert of Mrs. Phoebe Decker
for 81 200, or $3.50 per acre. He has Just
closed a deal whereby he sells the same
piece of land to Mr. Reel of Vincennes,
Indiana, for s3,40O, or s2l.2 % per acre, al
advance of almost 300 per cent in two
years. Not all land in this locality is ad-
vancing at this rate, but during the last
live years there are very few ranches
around Elbert that have not advanced
fully 100 per cent in value.
People are just beginning to realize
the possibilities of the Divide country,
and land which will produce from 25 to
100 bushels Of oats per acre without ir-
rigation will be in demand henceforth at
something near its real value.
Real estate dealers in the Ebert, Eliz-
abeth, Kiowa and Eastonville sections
all report business livelier than ever be-
fore and predict that this is but the be-
ginning of an era of prosperity for the
entire Divide country.
