The Grinnell Glee club did not meet
with the audience they deserved last
Friday night, but those who were
there received more than their moneys
worth. While the soloists were good,
it was the club singing and the excel
lent selections that pleased the audi
encc, and the boys were not stingy
with their good music but gave encore
after encore. Should they ever visit
Cresco again, no music lover should
fail to hear them.
Mr.. Fred Potts the southern repre-
sentative of the Washington and Chat
aw Land Co., of St. Louis, Mo-, is Wis
iting Cresco in the interest of his COM
pany which is developing the lands of
the Gates Syndicate of Washington
county, Alabama. This rich magnolia
land capable Of two and three crops a
year has been tied up for Ga years by
the Lumber Syndicate. is now being
settled by northern people looking
for milder climate, incidentally get
ting hundreds of dollars out of the
fruit and vegetable industry, whilc not
few buy as a gilt-edge investment. :
This property located as it is on high
table land 60 miles north of Mobile,
with three railroads and two of the
best markets in the world but a few
miles distant. and the opening of the
Panama canal makes Mobile the storm
center of the gulf commerce. Ten
railroads recognize this fact and have
practically bought up the entire water
front of Mobile bay. The shrewd land
seeker sees the handwriting on the
wall, he knows there is but one crop Of
land. He knows money will buy land
anywhere, but it won't buy climate.
