There are numerous reasons why peo-

is because investors can secure valuable
town and country property here at rea-
sonable figures. and the cost OF living

Boston market, which every fruit ship
per in the land knows TO be the most
technical market In the world, brought
$3.50 and $3.50 per box, which means
net production of $1,000 per acre from

The leading varieties of Utah apples
are Jonathan. Wine Sap and Roman
Beauty, which outrank the Hood River
and Washington varieties, and bring
an equal price.
The matter of profit in fruit growing.

The unsurpassed flavor and beautl-

this makes the county the finest ap-

industry at Pleasant Grove says that
he started in by growing rye. but it

Pleasant Grove has graduated the ban

Directors of Bank OF Halifax Meet.
Cor to The Commonwealth


The Directors Of The Bank OF Hal
flax met here on Friday, April 23rd.
The net earnings for the year were
found to be IS per cent; of this
amount per cent. was declared as
dividends, 6 per cent. was carried
over to the surplus fund, and 4 per
cent. to the undivided profits.
This makes very credltable
showing, considering the fact
that the institution is comparatively
in its infancy having been in business
a little over two years. eight per
cent.was declared the first year. The
Directors of the bank, are men OF
good sound judgment and enjoy the
united confidence of the public. The
President is recognized all over the
State as man of very fine business
qualifications. Mr.. T. H. Gregory,
the cashier, one of our home boys,
by strict adherence to business prln-
ciples, courteous, treatment and ap-
plication to duty, has won the con-
fidence of all those who transact bus
mess with the Bank.

President Taft TO Attract an Immense
Crowd.

Charlotte N. c., April 2S.-It has
been arranged definitely that Presi-
dent William H. Taft will deliver his
address on the Twentieth Of May, at
which time this city will celebrate
the 134th anniversary of the signing
Of the Mecklenburg Declaration Of
independence, from the reviewing
stand which is now being erected in
front of the Mecklenburg county
court house and surrounding the
monument commemorating the sign
ing of this immortal document. This
stand will probably be the largest
ever erected in the State and the in
dications are that it will be crowded
to its utmost capacity, judging from
the demand for tickets from Char
lotte as we'll as other towns in North
and South Carolina. General admis-
sion to the stand will be 81 90 and to
reserved seats $500, the latter CIV
ing the occupants an opportunity to
be near the President during the pa
rade and while he is making his adj
dress.
The committees in charge of the
celebration are making every effort
to arrange for accommodation for
the entertainment of the thousands
Of visitors who will be here on this
historic occasion. With the excel
lent hotel facilities Of the city in adj
dition to the several hundred board
ing houses there is no fear on the
part of the central committee that
Charlotte will be amply prep, ed to
care for all that will come. Already
the city has begun decorating for
the event, the prospects being that
several days before the celebration
the streets will be blaze of glory
for the reception of the troops who
will reach here several days before
the arrival Of President Taft.
