Mr.. o. L. Bass, president of the
Marion Mineral Company, and a
resident of Florida, was in Ma
rion a few days ago. Mr.. Bass
formerly lived in Hopkinsville and
together with his neighbor, Mr.. r..
E. Cooper, they came to Marion and
made some heavy investments In the
mining business. This was about
the year 1902. Since that time Mr..
Bass has removed to Florida, the
land Of sunshine, alligators and j..

first money in the pine woods of the
Carollnas. Immense fortunes have
been accumulated in the last fifteen
years in pine tar The making Of

Dan Riley is back. We did not
hardly expect him. He is anxious
to get away 60 Texas again with his
family, but the present epidemic Of
measles has a firm hold on his family.
1t is very interesting to hear the
news from Texas hot off the bat.
Dan Riley is not the only one who
came back from Texas. There are
others. From what we can learn
| Hereford and Portales are fine towns.
Everybody and everybody's brother
in that country is land agent.
Farms, quartersections, sections and
whole townships change hands at
the twinkle of an eye. The pur-
chaser of today is the seller of to-
morrow and the poor recorded OF
deeds is the most overworked lndi-
vidual in the whole state. The real

towns are certainly up .to.date. They
no more and live more in one day
thar the ordinary Kentucky man
does in five days. They own their
own horses and rigs and automobiles
and their trades and sales are made
with breezy slap dash that quite
takes your breath. A good story is
told of Kentucky tenderfoot. No
doubt the same thing has happened
frequently to other tenderfoOted
strangers. Mr.. Tendeifeet alighted
from the train with a pocket full of
the long green. He was hungering
and thirstlng after land. He wanted

All was hustle and fuss. He was
carefully slowed away in a sixty
horse power automobile, the driver
mounted the front seat and threw
open..the throttle. With a honk-i-ty
honk the huge machine tore across
the level country leaving behind a
cloud of dust permeated by a bad
smell. A wordy description of Gods
country fell from the agents lips in
a continuous stream. In few min
utes they were there. The particu-
lar section suited. The return trip
was made in like manner. With |
lightning like rapidity the deal was
closed. The particular section be-

will approximate sS0,0O0.O00. 1t seems
almost certain to exceed s75.00O.0 900, |
exceeding by several millions the for

o00 respectively for 1906. the Chinese
imports being nearly one-half cotton

The exports of American cottonl
manufactures in 1906 the high-record
year, was about $4,000. 600. against
