started out with the statement
that but few IL any towns In Virginia
nave grown as much In the past de-
cade as Chase City. and with the pre-
diction that 1t will grow much fast
er in the next ten years. That is
only prediction. but II is founded
on something substantial. for the good
people here are not going to stop their
public enterprise with their newly
paved streets and sidewalks and with
their electric light and power plant
just completed. but they now have
water works and a perfect sewerage
eystem on their minds, and they are
going to have these things in one way
o. another within the next year. My
own opinion. from what 7 can gather.
is that there Is going to be bis
bond Issue to make these improve
ments. and they will be made and
owned by the town Instead of letting
franchise to company. Other mu-
nlcipal enla rgements and improve
ments will follow. the population will
grow and business will grow, md 1t
may be that when the next census
shall be taken Chase City will be
found to be real Virginia city.

Prosperou. BACK country.


1t goes without saying that with
such large and Hourishing back
country to support it. and so many
operatives to man the various indus
trial plants. Chase city does an i'm
mense mercantile business.
OF this rich and prosperous back
country wish TO have more to say
now that nearly all of the old time
enormous plantations for ten or more
miles around the town have been cut
UP into smaller farms and sold off to
new -comers from North and South
Carolina. and from the North and
West, and these newcomers have I'M
proved their lands by up-to-date meth
DDS. and are growing the crops and
raising the cattle. the sheep. the hogs
and the horses that go to make n
country rich and prosperous. Ief-
freys Hester & Company, real estate
agents and farm land sellers have
done more to advertise these lands and
bring in new settlers than any one
agency in the State They are al
ways on the jump. and I dare say they
have sold more farms and brought in
more new farmers than any two agen-
cies in Southside Virginia. and they
are still at 1t. Such men are doing o
sight to develop the country I'D they
richly deserve the goodly commissions
they are making in the business.
Educational Notes,
The people here are proud OF their
schools. their new $4,000 high school
building and the splendid school there
in conducted They are also proud of
the Southside Female Institute. which
is so ably conducted by Professor H.
G. Noffsinger and n strong corps of
assistants. and which is educating
from 125 to $50 Virginia girls.
They are also proud OF the Thyme

Democrats who gathered to make
one more effort to unhorsc the boss.

the regular delegates reached Louis.

ON the ground claiming 10 hold the
credentials and demanding seats as
delegates. The best that could D.
done WIS u Compromise and give
each faction half the yote This Was
unfair To the regular Delegates. but
II was the besS solution possible We
