Buy, Don't Sell.

Land values are relatively much
lower In this locality than anywhere
else In the state, while our lands are
conceded to bs the very best. equal
t. any anywhere.
Why this condition exists today
may he d difficult question to an
swer, hut all will agree that it is an
unreasonable condition, and one that
cannot long prevail.
Probably the hest explanation that
can be given is that the rise in values
here a few years ago, was thought
by many of our people to be the limit.
and they have been content to rest
on that with little heed Of the great
movement and steady advanc In
price north and west, until they have
reached practically the same level
as asked for our lands here. Allknow
that there is no comparison in the
real value and therefore there is only
one OF two results that must follow,
either prac tically the whole country
must receive a set back and reduc-
ton OF value, which is scarcely pos
sible, or our lands here must advance
to q reasonable parity. This Is GER
tainly the result that Will come, and
come soon.
1t is the judgment of close obser-
vers that In less than ten years our
lands here will readily bring from
800 to $125 or more per acre. Hthis
is correct, there is no better invest
ment than the land here at present
prices. 1t is a good thing to buy
and to keep.--Ex.

The attention of those in authority is
called to the condition of the public
square. 1t has been forty-four years
since it was graveled all over, and it is
worn almost to the dirt, and besides,
there are many washouts, and it is very
uneven. While public improvements
are going on this very important and
necessary work should not longer be
neglected. The rock crusher is here
and there are rock in abundance. Why
not rock the square?

This is fine weather for road working.
Overseers should notify hands who are
compelled to work under the law, and
see that the highways are put in good
condition before the Fall rains set in.
We believe in piking the county, but
that is not likely to be done at present.
Therefore, we must put up with what
we can get. Each overseer should
make the best road possible in his ter
ritory with the machinery at his COM
mand. There is nothing that is of more
benefit to county than good roads.

OUR NEIGHBORs.

A representative of the News made
his regular visits to Greensburg and
Campbellsville last week. He found
business in the two towns fairly good;
could have been much better, but ma
jority of the horny handed sons of toll
were on their farms, saving hay while
the sun was shining. Merchants and
other business men make no complaint
when the farming element is not seen
upon the streets, knowing that it is
necessary for crops to be made and
saved in order that mankind in all the
various avocations, may prosper.
Greensburg is one of the oldest towns
in Kentucky, and if we are correctly
informed, in its earlier days it was more
prosperous than at the present time,
though at this date it enjoys fine run
of business. In the days of "Auld
Lang Syne" all the banking business of
Adair, Taylor, Russell, part of Barren,
Hart and Larue were done at Green's
burg, it being the only town in the
Green river section of Kentucky sup
porting banking institution. The
banking house was in the dwelling now
occupied by Mrs. w. N. Vaughan and
her sons and daughter. Greensburg
has long been known for intellectually,
and at one time she had the reputation
of maintaining the strongest bar in the
State There were the Wards, the
Buckners, the Barnetts, Capt. Billie
Willis and number of other legal lights
whose knowledge was known through
out the state.
There are many interesting events
that could be written about Green's
burg, but it will take the work of 10
cal historian to give them with any
degree of accuracy.
Greensburg is having steady growth
and in the last few years quite num-
Der of handsome residences and bus
mess houses have been erected. Since
the building of the bridge across Green
river, business of all classes has won
derfully increased, and at the close of
the year 1907 the cash receipts of the
town will far exceed the year 1906.
Our representative went over town,
meeting his friends, securing number
of orders for job work, etc.
At Campbellsville he met the same
courteous treatment, and also found
the business men waiting for the farm
ers. To have an idea of how fast the
capital of Taylor is growing, it is nee
essary to take a stroll over the city.
Quite number of delightful homes
have recently been completed, and
others are being erected. Be it said to
the credit of Campbellsville, she has
good schools, and the town with her
numerous shade trees, handsome
churches, smooth sidewalks, commodi-
GUS business houses, presents an invit-
ing appearance.
