These strong words fell from the
lips Of the Governor Of Kentucky, Au.
gustus e. Wilson, as he welcomed the
National Negro Business League to
Louisville last week. Governor Wilson
besides being republican and Har-
ward man is brave man. He is one

Negro, because he is Interested in the
future of the south and the future Of

admirable words are worthy Of the
calm consideration of every Negro.

who traded and throve in days gone

persistent effort in all directions will

AS a variation from the abandoned

able farm booklet" including q list Of
farms. apparently supplied by the real
estate agencies. Judging by the
prices and descriptions, some might
very well have been described as
abandoned but a~great many are plain
~ first class in price, declares the
American Cultivator. Prices Of YER
mont farms are supposed to have ad-
vanced during recent years, but the
range Of price here given shows that
there are many cheap farms still on
sale in Vermont. AS for instance,
twenty-five acres with quantity of
spruce lumber. fair buildings, 4 -
miles from Barre, price $500. Anoth-
er farm In East Montpelier with a
good house but poor barns and 126
acres Of land, advertised to keep
twelve COWS and team, is also held at
only $500. Some Of the best bar
gains offered appear to be in the line
OF higher priced farms, which accord
ing to the description contain amply
enough lumber and wood to nav for
the farm. A study of the booklet
gives the impression that there are
still plenty of bargains in New Eng
land furm property.
