Our Old Lime Story.

A lime burner in an adjoining
county is offering lime at seven
cents a bushel. He is making a
good profit on it at that, His
coal to burn the lime costs him
just enough less than McCon-
nellsburg has to pay to reduce
cost of lime three cents. In 9th
words, he can burn lime at just
three cents a bushel less than we
can. This indicates that we
could burn lime at McConnells-
burg under present coal freight
rates, and sell it at a profit, for
ten cents. We take advantage
of the foregoing bit of news to
again call attention to what the
News did last summer, namely,
we corresponded with limeburn-
ers in other counties until we had
secured data on cost of produc-
ton of lime at their kilns, and
we then added to that the extra
cost Of coal fuel at McConnells-
burg until we found to our entire
satisfaction that lime could be
burned here at a cost price of not
over eight cents per bushel.
Please notice that we did not say
that lime could be sold for eight
cents. What we said was that
lime can be burned here at a
cost of eight cents, and sold for
fourteen cents. We also said
that one fty-bushel-a-day kiln
could not supply the demand at
the outside price of fourteen
cents. We do not believe that a
breast of three such kilns would
more than meet the demand.
This would mean the daily aver
age sale of $50 bushels at a profit
of six cents a bushel, or nine dol
lars a day for the owner. The
capital necessary to carry such a
business would pay dividend of
twenty-five per cent.

SALUylA

Wishing all the readers, edl-

posltors of the Fulton County
News happy Christmas and a
glad New Year.
Mrs. Roy M. Slpes, who has
been threatened during the past
week with an attack Of pneumo-
MA, Is better,
We are glad. there is snow for
Christmas for the children's
sake. How we did love to sled
when we were boys! Human ma
ture does not change. The chill
dren OF to-day love the joyous
sport. In addition to the pleas
ure, the sport gives children
abundant exercise, and plenty
of fresh air so necessary for their
health and growth.
Mrs. Lydia Minnich, aged
about Sc years, Is quite poorly,
suffering with cancer on the hand
and apparently on her face.
We believe the best investment
Fulton County people could make
would be to take stock in the pro.
posed electric railroad from Nc
Connellsburg to Fort Loudon.
1t would not only give to all of
Fulton county a great and much
needed convenience, but 1t would
enhance all property, real and
personal, in the county, and bring
an era of progress and prosperl-
ty. We learn by good, reliable
sources that an electric road

Meeting the towns of Hagerstown

The Farmer and His Paper.

"The farmer of today is entire
ly different from the farmer of
yesterday" said Secretary G. N.
McIlvaine, of the South Dakota
State Fair, land l really believe
that the country newspaper has
been the greatest aid to the farm
ers and made them what they are
to-day. There is no better or
quicker way to get education
than to read the papers. If a
man is away from his home town
his home paper comes to him like
a long lost friend. 1t just seems
to me, when | read my home pa
per, as though l was shaking
hands with a chum.

Do not pay money to stran-

The newspapers are reporting
many such frauds. Pay your
money through your church, or
through home channels which
you are sure are right and prop

ty, and there is no necessity to
give it to strangers-no matter

Notwithstanding that ma n y
wild turkeys died of blackhead,
and that many more died of
lead poison" during the past
fall, there seems TO be many left.
We have no doubt that they will
be cared for while the deep snow
is on the ground. tits more than
probable that when the legisla-
ture meets after the holidays the
law that now protects turkeys
from being shot will be repealed,
and our hunters are anticipating
good sport next fall. Feed the
turkeys.
