Our Prosperity.

One reason for the extraordinary
prosperity of the United States may
be found in the fact that, while it
has but per cent. of the world s
population, nevertheless, it produces
% per cent. Of the worlds wheat
and "a per cent of the worlds corn.
Although this country has only a
10th part of the earth's inhabitants
it has 9Th part of the worlds mon
ey, a fourth of its coin and bullion
and more than one-half of the
worlds banking power. When we
add to this that she also produces IS
per cent Of the iron, Sc per cent. of
the copper and rs per cent. of the
cotton in the world and has "a per
cent. of the worlds factories, it
would be strange if this country was
not prosperous to an unusual de-
gree. American Miller.

BIG COAL DEALS
Being Made in Christian and
Hopkins.

Big coal deals have been made
and are being made in North Chris
tian and the south part of Hopkins,
in the neighborhood of White Plains.
Coal has been found in unlimited
quantities and of fine quality. Test
ing has become a thing of the past
in that territory. Every time and
at every place that a test hole has
been dug, there have been two and
three veins of coal found in each and
every hole, making from ten to four.
teen feet of good workable coal.
The coal lands have all been Cd
toned at good prices and paid for as
fast as the titles can be made.
The st. Bernard Coal Co. has
bought up thousands of acres of coal
right, beginning east of jacksonville,
on Pond River, and up the river
passing White Plains, to the mouth
of West Fork.
This territory is proving to be
equal to the best in Kentucky, if not
better, for quantity and quality; the
prospects now are that the coal will
be worked in the near future, by
drifting and shafting.
