MALE QUARTET
Four Of Iowa's Best Boys, Educated
and Refined, Each one an Artist
in His part.


Friday evening last the Emslie
Male Quartet came to town and fill
ed their contract. The weather was
propitious, and the music loving
people were out for this much priz
ed event. The Methodist Church
with it's spacious annex was opened
up to accommodate the people. The
program was so arranged that it
elected an encore for every number
they presented while two or three
mum bers received the second in
vitation to return. Whether this
was premeditated on the part of
the Quartet, or the 1nelodious
strains they produced go enraptur-
ed it's hearers, it made the program
a long and most enjoyable one,
and one ever to be remembered
with pleasure. Success to the
Emslie Male Quartet.

There is not q product known that
cannot be successfully and profitably
raised in the varied soil, climate and
conditions of Virginia. So says Vir-
ginia's governor, and the abundant
crops obtained when given any kind
of chance, abundantly prove the
truth of the assertion.
Virginia is also exceptionally free
from wind storms, never having any
like those which frequently visit the
west. Such thing as a house being
blown over is unknown. ]. Sterling
Morton, Ex Secretary of Agriculture,
in letter says: "Were 1 young and
about to buy farm, and if | were
young buying is what I'd do, I'd get
q farm in Virginia. 1 was out thru
the state the other day. To say that
| was amazed would not any more
than express it. L never saw better
fields or finer crops anywhere. Corn?
| met face to face with as vigorous
and robust fields of corn as ever waved
in Illinois. Other crops were the
same. am not an advertising me-
dunn of Virginia real estate, but, skip.
ping names and boundary lines, there
are eight hundred acres, twenty-six
miles from Washington, with the Po-
tomac river washing it's feet, and you
can buy it for Sis per acre, or $4,000.
A friend of mine bought splendid
farm of 100 acres, richest kind of soil;
magnificent brick house, one of those
old timers, about one hundred years
old but in as perfect shape as if car
penters and builders had finished it
yesterday. What do you think he
paid? A perfectly appointed farm,
remember; brick barn all in the best
of shape, and within half a days
drive of the city of Washington. Now,
what do you think he gave? -Four
thousand dollars; just twenty-five
dollars per acre. The place would
have been worth $4,000 in Iowa. 1t
made me want a Virginia farm my
self when saw it.

Here is letter from former South
Dakota farmer:
| came to Prince George county,
Virginia, in 1902 from South Dakota
where | had resided since 1881. After
spending number of years travelling
about, visiting nearly al! the states
east of the Mississippi in search of q
genial climate and good soil, | was
convinced that Virginia was the
place. l purchased farm of four
hundred acres and am now getting it
into fine state of cultivation for all
the cereals and stock raising. This
section is exceedingly we'll adapted to
the raising of cattle, hogs and sheep,
all of which 1 am raising successfully
and making money. There is nothing
that would induce me to go back to
South Dakota to live since I am able
to live here in comfort and receive
larger net dividends than [ ever could
expect to realize on my former farm.
| am more than pleased with my
investment
Yours Very Truly,
