The County Attorney.

There is some criticism of the
late legislature for creating the of
flee of County Attorney. In some
cases this arises from want of
knowledge, in others from the ha-
bitual law violator who opposes
anything that tends to make more
difficult his escape from the penal
ty OF a violated law. Occasional
ly, also, a demagogue will pipe in
and make noise about increased
taxes. The last is the silliest of
all. The county attorney will be
the means of turning into the
county treasury enough additional
line money to Offset his salary in
most cases. The opposition of the
criminal class of the population is
based upon something more tang
ible. The blind tiger operator
realizes that his lucrative business
is gone under The new regime.
No more will he be allowed to
corrupt his fellow beings and dis
turb the peace and quietude of a
community and the opposition of
him and his kind is quite natural.
How many felons go UNPUBLISHED
at each circuit court because the
District Attorney is ignorant of
the case and is deceived by mis-
representations of criminals and
their friends? He has hundreds
of cases to prosecute and cannot
understand all the details. Right
here the county attorney steps in.
He knows the parties and their
environments, has time to study
the case and understand it
fully, thus making conviction far
more certain.

Public Spirit.

No town or community can ev.
er prosper where there is diver.
sion or strife of factions. There
must be unanimity Of thought ano
action. No town or community
can prosper where there is lack OF
enterprise and push. There are
drones everywhere but it will not
do for the workers to fall by the
wayside because of them. Let all
the public-spirited, wide-awake
people put forth every effort to
make the town pretty and attrac-
tive and giving it a homelike APP
rearance. When this is done, peo-
pie from distance will form a
good opinion of the place and it will
prove a great inducement for them
to locate and become permanent
citizens.

to misunderstood me in regard to
price of land l write again. When
I say land orange land can be
bought at from $40 to SIS per
acre, | do not mean orange
groves, but lands suited to grow
ing citrus fruits. Orange groves
will cost anywhere from $500 to
$500 per acre, according to age,
location etc. | have a neighbor
that sold the fruit ON tree, on ten
acres of land for $1,000. Another
neighbor sold the fruit on three
acres for $500, but gathered the
fruit and hauled 21a miles to a

weather in blooming time there is
only about 4 crop this season.

ing at 5 years old, budded trees at
years old. We are now having
plenty of rain and crops are laid by

There Should Be A Monument

The most important battle
fought in this county occurred near
the western suburbs of the town
and is called in history the battle
of Iuka. 1t was desperate en-
gagement. For two hours 5000
men were engaged in a deadly,
bloody struggle for victory. l.
was closely drawn fight. 1t was
Greek against Greek-Western
against Southern chivalry. At its
close 1900 men-one fourth of the
number engaged-were dead or
wounded. Two-thirds of these
men fell in front of or behind the
18th Ohio Battery within a radius
of 3 or 400 feet. The spot is now
well known and it should be mark
ed by suitable monument. 1t is
beautiful place for a monument
the intersection of roads-and
will always be a public place. We
understand the present owner has
expressed willingness to donate
the site for monumental purposes,
Let us hear from our rea ders on
this subject.
