Mt. ELAN, Jan. 3-Mt. Eliam
is one Of the highest peaks on the
Broad ridge, and when | look
around and see the advancement
that has been made in so many
ways in the last ten years and
know she has not yet reached her
meridian it makes me happier
still. First notice the difference
in farming a few years back and
now. Where it would take four
or five acres to make one bale,
now the same land is making
nearly bale to the acre. And to
make corn it takes seed and sea-
sons. Corn is president: it is use
full for one hundred and eight
different things. All you need
to make melons is vines and to
make the vines just put a little
dirt on a seed and if it's not rot
ten tn n~s will soon be running
around old Mt. ELAN. You can't
get q potato vine TO grow With
outmaking roots, and to make
things sweet in the fall you only
have to SOW some shoemaker's
cane seed in the spring.
Our farmers are all on the
road to "Betterville." The un-
ION Is ''magnum bonum" to our
farmers and is opening their eyes.
Tn the line of education Mt.
ELAN is rising like a tide. We
have a good school building, a
good teacher and good children
that arc eager to learn. We have
a good house of worship, good
pastor, and some good people.
The motto of this community is
Help one Another" If a man
gets into trouble his neighbors
help him bear it as best they
can.
Mt ELAN is the bestest place that
have ever found,
For soil it has some clay and mud but
most OF it is sand;
And to live on the old Mount we think
very grand.
he people are all kind and good and
know just what to do,
And if you will come and stay while
then you will say so too.
