The fact that farming lands in
the southern states can be bought
for about one-third the price that
is paid in other states is bring
ing a great many investors to the
south form northern states and
also from England. A British
comnany has recently purchased
81, 1000 acres of cotton land in the
State of Eississippi, and a Dutch
company has purchased 5000
acres in the same state. A Cali
fornia company is financing a
big deal in the State of North
Carolina. A Chicago company is
financing a deal for $4,000 acres
in Georgia, and New York con-
Germ is about to make a big deal
in the State Of Louisiana. Val
liable lands in the south will from
now on find ready purchasers
and steady development.

JribuIations Of an Editor.

A lawyer charges a man Slo
for ten minutes conversation.
The may insists on paying 1t. A
doctor charges one dollar for a
prescription, and the patient.
says: "Oh, pshaw! Is that
enough? An undertaken charges
500 for conducting a funeral,
and he is just perfectly lovely
with everybody inside and out
side the family. A man buys a
gold brick and apologies for not
having bitten before. An edl-
tor walks a mile in the hot sun
to get facts Of a death or a we'd
ding or a social function and
spends three hours writing it up
and tell lies praising people unit!
he hates himself. Then If he
makes an insignificant omission
or charges five cents straight tor
three extra copies he is a stingy,
careless, good-for-nothing old
cuss who never gets anything
right and charges four times the
price of city papers twice as
| large.

The Country Weekly.

AS conditions and times change
with the strides of progress and
civilization there are some insti-
'tutions which must and do retain
their permanence and their indi-
viduality. Among these is the
country weekly in the field Of
Journalism. With a tradition
founded upon centuries and a
position among the different
classes of papers and magazines
of the world the weekly Of the
smaller cities and towns holds its
sphere uninterrupted by the
great strides in journalism and
the newspaper field. -
The weekly is first of all a
mirror Of the happenings of the
locality. In its regular visits to
the freside of it's readers it car
ries the news Of their friends
and neighbors. 1t seeks not. the
sordid, the sensational nor, the
'scandalous, but the real news
the births, the marriages and the
deaths, the social happenings
and the progress of the imme-
date vicinity. 1t does not en-
ideavor to rival the daily in the
record of world events.
To the former resident and
kinsman it is a welcome visitor
and recalls the days gone by. To
the active man in the town it is
a history Of what has happened.
To the young it is a portrayal of
the ways of the world.
With all the great advances in
the field of journalism the coun-
try weekly is not obsolete nor its
mission useless. It is one of the
institutions of the town and a
helpful one in all it's work.

Practical Bookkeeping laid them
aside and took up another sys-
TEN and became a successful
user Of the latter in preference
to the Byrne. Hundreds have
abandoned Pitman, Graham'
Gregg, Cross shorthand and the
other systems Of bookkeeping
for the Byrne.
We will teach any young per-
