by which the latter became the owner ~
l6O ACRES of that farm.
The piece OF land is on the east side of
the track south OF Cedar Lane road. and
is one Of the best gravel deposits in the
State.
The railroad company only wanted
the gravel and paid Mr. Agan $1,000 for
the land. Mr.. Agan reeerving the wood
and timber and the right to remove the
same at any time.
The Agan family came here two years
ago last December from Adams, North
Dakota, having traded for this farm
with Mr.. Hans Chally. Mr.. Chally came
here I'm spring of 1903, and bought For
est Hill farm of 1876 acres through John
W. Allison. local agent OF the Southern
Farm Agency. for 81 $50. In the fall of

Mr.. Agan Is a hustler. No business
man and good farmer. He has raised
fine crops since he has lived here, his
wheat, rye and oats this year yielding
upwards of 20 bushels per acre. Mr.
Agan Is enthusiastic over the future of
Virginia. aud says in all bis travels he
haa not seen n place where climate and
soil are better for general farming.
He says when the people of Virginia

and keep our money here.

Agan intends to put out seven improved
varieties of Oregon berries and fruit. and
see what they will do In this locality.

TOO MUCH FAULT-FINDING


To The Free Lance.
10 does seem that this criticism ofevery
one and every thing in our city might
cease.
When our City Government Is not be-
ing abused the National Government is
getting II in the neck, so To speak.
As To the work on the Boulevard, the
contractor has done all that his contract
called for, and every one IL pleased but
the grumblers. The people on the Bou-
levard are grateful beyond expression
TO those gentlemen who gave their time
and attention to bring about this good
road and pavement. and had we wait
ed for grumblers to do this for us we
might have to walk in the mud for an
indefinite time.
The United States Government can
take care OF its own, and il is presump-
tious and ofiicious to criticise this work
until tits completed, inspected and accept

Questioned as to how he could grow
such perfect peaches when his neighbors
could not and the crop generally IL a
failure, Mr.. Henderson said he sets his
trees on the north side of the slopes, which
hardens them and prevents them from
blossoming a. early as those on the
southern exposures, with the result that
the buds are less apt to be killed in the
spring.
