LEXINGTON ON
RAPID INCREASE

The most important thing for any
head of family to consider is the propo-
stion of owning a home. The man
without home is tossed about from
place TO place, and il is almost impossi-
Bile for him to accumulate anything above
a bare living. He does not know one
year where he will be the next. He and
his family get discontented, disheartened
and discouraged, almost tired of life. On
the other hand, the man who has
home, be it ever SO small, is king over
his own realm. He is more contented,
industrious and frugal, his family is bet
ter satisfied, and there is genearlly an
air OF peace and happiness prevailing in
the home. The home owner makes a
better citizen, husband and father and
as natural result he is in better shape
financially, The time to get home
is now, for it is an indisputable fact
that home is harder to get as the
years roll by. Land values are on the
rise all the time, and will continue to
increase in price as the population in
creases. The population of Lexington
has increased rapidly in the past ten
years and is continuing at an ever in
creasing rate. Therefore, if you do not
own home here, buy one at once. Buy
on time, if you do not have the money to
pay cash, and the rent you now pay will

man who is starting out on lies rugged
road should buy tract of land for a
home. Whether he is married or single
does not matter Ills living expenses are
lower than in later years and he is in a
position to apply more of his earnings
TO the purchase and improvement of a

improve and beautify the place where he

naturally fits into the general order of
things in the community better, being
permanently located. In few years,
with the exercise of good judgment, he
is independent.
1t is not so very many years ago that
yon could have bought land in Holmes
county at a mere song, but conditions
have changed by the realization of the
fact that no more fertile and productive
land can be found under the shining sun
than right here. In consequence, Holmes
county lands are on the rise and will
continue to advance, and the longer
you put off buying the more it will cost.
Why is this? The land area of the
world is limited. There are no new
countries to open, no western frontier
where a man could file on homestead.

western half of this county, within a
comparatively recent period, was covered
with the waters of sea, which extended
as far north as Cairo, Ill. A Sargasso

ocean, which lay contiguous to 1t; all
kinds of marine vegetation tloated in,
and can be seen today, in the form OF
brown coal, source of wealth hard to
estimate.
At the time of which | am writing
this latitude had climate much warmer
than now. Giant ferns and mosses grew
on the islands, and birds with unpro-
nounceable names built their nests in
the reeds, huge monsters flew from island
to island, casting shadows like passing
clouds and made night hideous with their
screams. Otherwise, this sea was scene
of unparalleled peace and beauty.
But the fullness of time had come
when this space was needed for higher
order of beings. He called to His aid
the Titanic forces of the volcanoes, and
from their horrid maws there came red
streams of lava, as kissing hot as Goals
from Hades; the bottom of the sea was
lifted up and what water was not vapor-

that which hung over the cities of the

lea is increasing at the enormous rate
of one million annually, but the number
of acres of land remains the same. Grad
ually, but surely the large farms must
be divided into smaller oneS These, in
time, win be subdivided again, and so
as the population increases, and the de-
mand for homes becomes greater, the
prices go up in proportion. In the next
twenty-five years the average farm in
Holmes county win not contain over 40
acres. Then it is only matter of pru-
dence to get hold of some Lexington or
adjacent property now, Don't wait

Agricultural High School.

The educational, religious, fraternal
and social conditions and enterprises of
eur city are ably presented in special ar
ticles in this issue, and show Lexington
to be in the very fore front in these
lines. Renewed interest is manifested in
the project for an Agricultural High
School for Holmes county, and it is con-
fidently predicted that such an institu-
tion will soon be established in the
Cleveland neighborhood, a few miles
south of Lexington, the logical site on
account of its central location and mani
fold other advantages.

large masses of ice freighted with gravel,
sand, clay, and iron, tumbled into this
sea-, and, drifting southwark, melted and
left their cargoes here, and we today
can be the benefciaries. From the south
the ocean currents brought their tribute
of marine vegetation, which, too, was
estrandcd here and covered up in the
most wonderful cataclysm of the ages,
and now it is brown coal.
The minerals to which have referred

portion, and coal and limestone in the
western, Flowing gas has been found

Don't think the prices will go down. Do
not deceive yourself into thinking that
you can get land ten years from aow
at the price it is now selling at 1t is
sure to go higher. Then you have the
advantage of getting what the land pro.
duces besides the natural rise in price,
Then il is good business sense to buy
now while You can get land at the
present favorable prices, that in a few
years will be worth a hundred times
more, You are standing in the way of
you own advancement il you do not get
a home in Lexington, or near it, now.

Peter Miller has made so many i'm
provements in the equipment of the
Stevens County Creamery that there
is now practically nothing of the old
equipment left. His latest additions,
which are now installed and in use,
are two agitators and new cooling
room. The agitators are large watts
in which the cream is received, and
the watts are So equipped that the
cream can be mechanically stirred.
This thoro mixing Of the cream is a
very important operation in the pro-

that the temperature is cooled down
to 40 degrees and Kept there, without
using nearly SO much ice as the old

is justly proud of his plant.

Among matrimonial curiosities "

Among matrimonial curiosities we
are inclined to give high place to
Mrs. Elizabeth Buzzard of Kentucky.
There does not seem to have been a
time when she was not feathering her
nest. She began as Elizabeth Bird,
of Harrison county, Kentucky. Her
first venture outside of the home
nest was when she married Bud Mar
tin. When Mr.. Martin died she mar
ried Edward Grove, farmer. When
the time came to change nests she
mated with William Robin, and lived
happily until the migrating season
again set in. Then David Buzzard. a
widower, appeared, and Mrs. Robin
became Mrs. Buzzard. Into the Buzz
zard roost she carried one little Mar
tin, two little Crows, and one little
Robin. One little Buzzard was al
ready there to welcome the other
birds. Elk.

it that Hon. Louis o. Foss, of Grant

the senate to succeed Mr.. Canestorp
in 1910. Of course it is too early to
make any definite statement regard
ing legislative politics, but when it is
known that Mr.. Foss reluctantly gave
way for Mr.. Canestorp four years
ago, the rumor that he is to become
a candidate next year becomes quite
interesting.

The work of putting in the drain
tile on Seventh street and Pacific ave
nue., east and north from the La
Grande hotel has been proceeding
rapidly this week. Six inch drain tile
is being laid on each side of the street
at a depth of about four feet, and in
this way the subsoil will be drained
out. This water-soaked subsoil has
been one of the great obstacles to
good streets in our city, and wherever
the sewer and drain tile was laid this
condition has been remedied. These
three blocks which are now being fix
ed up by the committee will later be
rounded up so that the surface water
will drain off.
