Mr.. =. 3. Wilson.

Mr.. Il. B. Wilson, the very efficient
chief clerk in the comptroller gen.
erals office, came over Monday and
made annual settlement with County
Auditor Dent and County Treasurer
Shealy. It is needless to say that he
found everything in the best of shape.
The books were neat and correct,
and Mr.. Wilson complimented the
officials very highly for the excellent
manner in which they conduct the
affairs of their Offices and that it was
really pleasure to visit these gentle
men with whom he has never had any
trouble. He with his little son, re-
manned over yesterday and spent the
day fishing with Mr.. Dent. Mr.. W.
enjoys being in Lexington and Lex
ington enjoys having him as her guest.

The County Union.

The quarterly meeting OF the Lex
ington County Farmers Union was
held here last Saturday. Nearly every
union in the county was represented.
Only regular routine work was dis
posed of. Pres. S. j. Clark met with
what might have been serious &C.
cident, but which happily, as it turned
out he escaped with minor injuries.
While going down hill the belly
band broke, causing the shafts to fly
9upand the buggy to run on the horse,
which become frightened and let
heels fly at rapid gate. The scared
animal finally succeeded in throwing
Mr.. Clark out and in the fall, he re-
.ceived several bruises. Mr.. Clark g
son-in-law, Mr.. Willard Quattlebaum,
was in the buggy with. him, but he
got off without injury.

SUCCESS IN SMALL THINGS.

The Coupevile Times publishes two
interesting stories illustrating the pos
sibilities of success in handling the
small things on a farm. One man has
Ia little place, situated on the shores
of Useless bay, on which he conducts
a fruit and poultry farm. He does not
make a loud noise about his wealth or
knowledge of the work, but gives some
pretty good figures. From flock of So
chickens he gets an average of 35 eggs
a day. and sells them for As cents a
dozen, making an income of SO week
from that small investment. OF course.
it is only one of the sources of income
from that little Island county farm.
But it shows what can be accomplished
by practical work and right manage
ment
Another farmer of Island county
combines darying and poultrying, and
makes O. financial success of both. He
owns five COWS, and sells the milk at
a creamery or condensary The figures
for II months show that the herd has
returned checks aggregating $522.56
during the year. This is an average
of $1O4.50 a COW for the year The eX-
pense of caring for and feeding the
dairy herd did not amount to much,
for the time required was only little
each day, ana the feed was produced
on the farm. That man does not notice
the effects of a financial panic or any
of the disturbances in the commercial
world. To him life is not a burden
bearing period of existence. He and
MS family enjoy health, wealth and
happiness.
The opportunities for attaining sue
cess from small things are On every
point of the compass. They are not
confined to any particular county or
section of the state. Wherever man is
willing to go upon the land and manage
it correctly he can gain independence
The dairy and the poultry farm con-
stitute one of the many avenues ready
for occupancy. Truck farming and fruit
growing offer similar inducements. The
climate. soil and market suggest firm
friendship for the worker who uses his
hands and brain in producing that
which the consuming public demands

Apropos of the discussions, appear

anent the objectionable practice of
money making at home and planting
the surplus in some remote place just

The title of one of the chapters of

as The Walla Walla Investor Abroad"
The mere suggestion of such theme
gives enough food for thought to cause
one to sit up and do a little figuring
between maps. For instance. it was
stated snort time ago by some per-
son who claims to be we'll informed
that during the past ten years about

upon Seattle values, during this dec

side lots and perforated hopes. But.
like the Missourian. we ask where are

made paltry sums ranging from $4,000

find them not. but methinks. if we

we would no doubt be able to event

of the rainbow are evanescent. and
! that these brilliant investors are ST.

their daily tasks in the hope of being

(spludge) and start all over again.
But Seattle should not boast toe
