A GREAT MARKET
Bldtng Is Fast Coming To the Front
as n Great Potato Mart.

Greenvile has long bourne the reputa-
ton of being the greatest potato market
in America and it is said that Greenvile
potatoes are listed as such on the bills OF
fare in the leading hotels OF the East. B.
that as it may, there is one thing that is
evident and that is that the city of Bel
ding is fast coming to the front as one OF
the great potatoe markets of the country.
A visit OF our reporter to the Eastern
and Western markets Tuesday revealed
the fact that over 10000 bushels Of
potatoes have been bought in this city this
season. Messrs Wise. Purdy and Gil
more, who form the eastern combination.
have purchased and shipped about 40
car loads OF potatoes this season, averag-
ing over 900 bushels to the car, while
the western organization, composed Of
Messrs. Pixley, jerks and Fish have pur-
chased about 20 car loads which average
oyer 1000 bushels to the car.
To the person looking for A No. poto-
toes for any market this is good place
to tie to as the quality Of potatoes
marketed here are equal to and in many
cases exceed those marketed at Green
vile. Verify the Beldng potato is des-
tined to find its way into the best society
for there are no better potatoes to be
found in any market
When figures are used in connection
with this remarkable shipment they i'm
set people to thinking. The
average price for the season is not far
from 2z cents per bushel and with a total
purchas of about 10000 bushels It is
'ound that the buyers havs paid out to
.he potato growers Of this vicinity nearly
$4,000 small fortune il it had been
paid to any one man With the shortage
'f cars that has prevailed for some time
oast this speaks volumes for the tact and
business ability Of the dealers who furnish
'ur farmer friends a market for their pro-
lucts.

t, T. Newton Of Maple Rapids was in
the city Tuesday and held a conference
in the evening with number of citizens
at Hotel Belding concerning the proposed
motor road Of which he is one of the d.
reotors. He says the prospects for its
co ,struction are very flattering and it now
only needs the securing Of the right of
way and pledges Of stock to be paid when
the road is completed to get the capital to
push it to speedy completion. 1t is now
proposed that this city and farmers and

shouts to his companions, and then they
laugh for the subject that those two

She does not laugh. Oh no. She is wiser
IN her sex than her brother three or four
years older than herself. Wiser as Juliet
was wiser than her Romeo.
And so these magic words take hold on
all that read them. To the old they mean
memories, to the young hopes. Behind
them in misty shapes loom the immortal
story they suggest the story that never
grows old the story of love that defied
