A nation never tires of honoring the
birth Of its greatest men. The 29nd OF
February brings to us the one hundred
and seventy-e ghth anniversary of the
birth of George Washington and ceie-
brations in his honor will be held in
every section of this broad land.
Washington was great as the world
measures greatness and there is con-
slant calling to mind his earthly deeds
to true greatness. 1t is true he did
not have to struggle with poverty, as
so many of our Americans. who have
obtained greatness, have done, for his
parents were wealthy for the times in
which he lived But his wealth did
not, as is generally the case, fasten
upon him idle and dissolute habits.
From the beginning of his career until
it's close his life was busy and active
one free from vices of every kind. In
deed, Washington morality has ever
been held up as an example for the
youth and even the mousing historian
has failed in his attacks upon it. His
devotion To his country in times of war
and peace are conspicuous features.
His public services as President We're
devoid of selfishness and ambitious
motives, free from party prejudiees
and prompted by motives that he be-
lieved to be for the best interests of

Atlantic, Oct. 6.-Nottces have been
received by the mayor and city coun-
Gil OF an injunction proceedings by
Warren brothers Of Philadelphia,
against the city Of Atlantic and the
Capital City Construction Company, to
restrain further work on the forty
blocks Of paving recently ordered here.
The case will be heard in federal court
at Keokuk Oct IS.
The cause assigned is that the War
rem Brothers Company owns patented
rights upon the bithulitic mixture pro-
posed to be used here. The city will
send Tom Whitmore to defend the case.
The contractor will bear expenses OF

It is understood shat Warren Brothers

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Oct. 6-Hardin county has
a bumper corn crop and it is practically
all safe from frost, and prices OF land
are soaring
Charles o. Ryan recently sold the
ties from Grinnell, at S13b per acre
Later he sold the w. w. Walker farm
located three miles east OF Eldora. 70
Robert Modlin, at $40 per acre. Mr.
Ryan bought this farm only last March
paying $3.50 per acre, and Wednesday
of this week he sold the Dan Megan
farm, located two miles south OF E-
dora, to Thomas Megan, at $l37 per
acre This farm contains 2o7 acres and
the improvements are scarcely up to
the average.
With the purchase of this farm Tom
Megan becomes one of the largest land
owner in Hardin, now holding nearly
LOO acres, all within a few miles OF
Eldora.
Only eighteen years ago Mr. Megan
was poor man and he laughingly tells
of having a hard time to find some one
the worlds fair in Chicago in 1893. Mr.
Megan is one of the heaviest cattle
feeders and dealers in central Iowa and
only recently shipped train load OF
cattle to the Chicago market.
About one year ago Nate Brickman
sold half section of land eight miles
east of Eldora to the Kernedys at $3.50
per acre. and this was considered q
good price at that time, but the farm
has just recently been sold to MIR
Shelter, of Grundy county, at $3.50 pei
acre, thus making Kennedy net pro-
fit in one year of $4,000.
The Hcun farm, located seven miles
east of Eldora, has just been sold tc
Smith Brothers, at s147 per acre and
the Moser half section recently went tc
parties from Albion at $14S.50 per acre
This farm contains 800 acres.
Many wideawake business men are
predicting higher prices and it is safe
20 say that the end is not in sight.
