A Homo Institution For Home Men.

1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by a share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence of two things that this associa-
t:on is help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For a safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured oy
steadily advancing real estate values
it would be hard to find a better Op-
portunity than is offered by this COM
pany.
The president of the association, as
we'll as the secretary is a man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
a straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people Of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as a business man when they elected
lin their mayor, and in the business
world he is recognized as a success.
This can also be said Of the secre-
tary, W. A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the
plans and ideas of the association

Auction Sales.
One fact more than any other one
may be taken as an indication Of how
desirable town lots IN the various COM
munities are becoming. Recently a
company OF professional land auc-
tioneers have been working in Jack
son county, buying a number OF acres
Of land on the outskirts Of every town
In the county. These tracts Of land
were surveyed out for additions to the
towns and auctioned of to the highest
bidder, and in every instance readily
sold, not only to the people of the
community, but to people Of other
states who attended the sale for no
other purpose than to make invest
ments.
These land sales where the property
title changes from one man TO fifty
or a hundred are good for the towns
because the property in most every
instance is improved and causes the
neighbors to take new interest in

PACKING HOUSE
WILL Be BUILT
ACROSSBORDER
ALABAMA CAPITALISTS WILL
ERECT HALF MILLION DOLLAR
PACKING HOUSE AND WILL
FURNISH CASH MARKET FOR
JACKSON COUNTY STOCK AND
HOG RAISERs.

Not satisfied with building a rail-
road into jackson county and on to
the gulf, the capitalists Of Dothan.
Ala, have within the last week COM
pleted arrangements whereby a half
million dollar packing house will be
built and operated there within the
next twelve months. Although in an
other state, this is a business move
which directly affects Jackson county
farmers and means as much to them
as the railroad means to the land
owners where it will touch.
Raising hogs and cattle for the mar
ket has been held Lack in Jackson
county on account Of there being no
city where the hogs and cattle could
be sold any day in the year. An un-
certainty was attached to the indus
try which was Objectionable to the
farmer, although a number Of them
have become rich at 1t Now the sit
uation will be different. Dothan is in
one of the richest agricultural sections
Of the south and is an ideal location
for the packing house. II already has
three different lines Of railroad and
the rich West Florida section where
stock and hog raising will be engaged
in extensively.
Use of Waste Crops
Climatic conditions arS such IN
jackson county that no expensive
shelters or barns are necessary for
housing stock, and both cattle and
hogs may be fattened with the waste
crops. Both kinds Of potatoes
profitable crops to the farmers and
the small waste potatoes are sufficient
TO fatten hogs. Chufas, peanuts. cas-
sava. sorghum, valvet beans. cowpeas
and vrious other things are easily
grown TO feed the took.
When the packing house begins op-
Grafton in Dothan the farmer can ship
a carload Of stock there any day and
get cash for IL. When this is possible
the cotton acreage VIII largely d.
minish and the boil weevil will never
become a menace to Florida farmers.
Cholera Serum.
Hog cholera which threatened to
prevent the hog industry from reach
ing large proportions in Florida, has
been conquered by the government ex-
perts with hog cholera serum This
serum is furnished free or rather ar
