HEALTHY GROWTH

"Woodville is not booming" said
y. B. O'Hair Monday. He is one of
the leading real estate dealers OF a
town where everyone seems to be in
the land-selling business. But the
town is enjoying healthy. even If
It ID a rapid, growth. We have the
location for big town, so why
! shouldn't we grow?"
And Woodville is growing. Saws
are singing and hammers are keep
ing time in every part OF the village.
"A Carpenters can not be secured to get
enough houses built to accommodate
the newcomers. So many OF the
more recent arrivals in Woodville are
living in tents.
The biggest new building is Isaac
Wright's livery barn, which is al
most completed. A new barber shop
has been built, a new bank building
A Is going up, and many houses are
building or just built AS fast as
possible residences will be supplied
for the tenters, who, however, ap-
pear to be enjoying life as they are.
The new I. o. o. F. lodge proposes
to erect a two-story brick building
for lodge and renting purposes as
soon as site can be selected and
other arrangements made. The lodge
was recently organized with mem
bership of twenty-five, and expects
to increase in strength rapidly, in
keeping with the growth of the
town. Hence the building is regard
ed as necessary investment.
One Of the streets has been re-
lieved of an awkward jog by the pur-
chase of adjacent property and its
conversion to street purposes. The
street is widened just that much, and
as this is one of the principal streets
of the town-the one leading from
the depot-it is great Improvement.
1t is understood that the square"
created by the widening, which oc-
ours at the juncture Of three streets,
will be beautified by flowers and a
grass plot at its center, with foun-
tain as soon as the town gets water

Land sales have been brisk around
Woodville the past few weeks. Every
train brings prospective buyers, and
many who come remain to buy.
Among the recent deals is that of
the Garner ranch of 400 acres, five
miles out, for which $4,000 is said
to have been paid. Other transac-
tions of lesser magnitude are: The
Myers ranch, 1SO acres, five miles

"The running of bills is many
times almost a necessity and at least
a very great convenience, but it is
one of those liberties which requires
judgment in the use lest 1t be turn
ed into an abuse. The great danger
lies in the ease with which goods Of
all sorts can be purchased on the
credit systems and the liability of in
dulging expensive tastes that are be-
yond the income"

Two Sides to the Credit System.

A woman of large experience and
an able writer talks about the credit
system in very thoughtful manner
and discusses the subject on broad
lines as follows
There is no question but what the
system of credit so largely employed
today by all big business firms is
