This last observation is based on IN

Mr.. Herbert Morris has Just placed a
beautiful new plano in his home"
The st. Louis man believed that while
the items might be fairly, gratifying
to Messrs. Walker and Morris, the
average reader would not jump over
chairs to acquire such information.
The editor did not argue the impor.
lance of the Items as considered from
the standpoint of general news. But
he held 1t to be important as showing
the growth Of wealth as an indication
'of the farmers increasing prosper
ity.
For instance" the editor said, ajust
take the various letters in our paper
this week. Here's The News from
Barnesville': Frank Miller Is paying
$3.50 for hogs this week. Joe Beeson
delivered hogs to Frank Miller Mon
day at $3.50 per 100. Items from
Plainview: Charles Fuqua is deliver
ing corn at Atlanta at so cents per
bushel Glen McQuary bought a new
buggy Saturday. Charles Warner de.
Ilivered hogs at Anabel Tuesday at
$5.75 per 100 VIM Banner has new
threshing machine. Southeast indie
pendence: j. A. Ship purchased a
span OF horses Of Emanuel Fuller for
$3.50 last week Southeast Narrows:
B. H. Foster bought three head 1T
calves from Mark Teeter of near Col
lege Mound for $40 per head Puzzle
Ridge: Hubert Brown is sporting a
new 500 saddle From the Cash
Ineighborhood: j. D. Rush bought eigh-
ty acres of land of the Griffin farm
for $40 per acre.
And then the editor walked over to
table and reached for a broad, thin
volume which he opened and began
running through at random.
Here is our file for the year 1898"
he said, fifteen years back. Well
start at Jackson. which Is over in the
Ten Mile neighborhood: Art Miles
bought of Will johnson eighty acres
Of land, consideration $4,000 Art
Meadows bought Of Gilmore Basin
ninety acres known as the Montgom-
cry farm, price $1,000, or 500 an acre.
Same party sold to JEFF Crawford $50
bushels of corn at 80 cents per bushel
Among Nickleton items we have
these: Amos Laughery and j. r. Sit
ton sold some fat COWS at So per 100
Jim Collins bought seven head Of
calves of G. B. Crawford at $40 each
This from Anabel: The Head brothers
sold ten fat 8-year-old steers at 31s
cents per 100 or $41.60 per head
'Millard Richardson is paying from
SIG to S25 per head for goou mule
colts Walnut township: C. Ross
cold 800 bushels Of corn to Nat Prem
tiss for 25 cents per bushel' Sue
City: Henry Shears sold to Claud
Canon two mule colts for $50 A
Blanchard sold to Joe Hines two hogs
that weighed $50 pounds for $3.50 per
100.
The editor held all these items to
be Of Importance as showing the con-
ditions then and now. He argued that
it shows why the farmer Of today can
give his girls a piano and diamond
earrings If he wants. and why his
boys can buy 500 saddles.
You see," he said, "the piano story
is important and If things keep on
like they have been, when you some
up again this fall you'll likely find
every list Of items melodious with the
song Of new instruments. It's when
you don't read about the new piano
going in that makes things become
serious. That's the time when the
mortgage has its innings, because the
farmer don't put on frills when he's
in debt"
