Book and Pants Lost or Stolen.

Last Saturday our collector,
G.. N. Trexler, bought a pair
pants at J. Feldman's, put
them on and had those he
was wearing, a $500 pair,
wrapped up and laid aside
until he called for them
MONDAY morning, Mr.. Trek
Ter, not knowing the Feld-
mans as some of us do, had a
a partial copy Of our SUBJ
scription list wrapped up
with the pants. Upon call
ing at this place Monday
morning for his package he
could get no information con
corning it, as has occurred at
this place on occasions before
now. Absolutely nothing
could be turned up except a
guess that it had been given
out to some one else and that
they were not responsible for
customers packages left in
their care. We would ask,
if it seemed worth while, for
any one. who could have pos
sibly gotten this package, by
mistake of course, to return
same to this office, but ex-
perience indicates the pants
will be OH the market along
with others and we will never
see the book. The pants
were new, had just been
pressed and would make a
favorable impression in a pile
of shoddy stuff.
There is not another store
in town where the proprietors
will not cheerfully care for a
customers package.

lineman Killed..

Monday afternoon while Ray
Mesimer, an employee of the
Southern Bell Telephone Compa-
ny was near the top of a high pole,
corner of Main and Kerr Streets,
he gave a yell, threw his hands
backward and fell to the hard
street below. The fall crushed
his skull and otherwise injured
him. Just at this time R. J.
Hole, manager of the N. G. Public
Service here, was passing and by
the help of others put the unfor.
tunate man in his automobile and
took him to the sanatorium at
once. Mesimer, who was about
% years old, died soon %afterward.
Just why he fell Is conjecture, but
it is generally believed a heavily
charged wire Of the Public Service
Company was across the telephone
wire, (anywhere within a mile or
more,) and the voltage was just
sufficient to cause the young man
to jump and lose his balance. Nj.
Mesimer was a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Mesimer of the Ebe-
nezer Church neighborhood and
was a splendid young man. The
young mans remains were pre-.

tbs farmer would learn when it
would be too late. This same
reasoning, to a very large extent,
applies to land. When you turn
q farm over to a land shark to cut
up, divide and auction off with the
aid of a lot of by-bidders at unu-
sual prices you are starting a
scheme that is unsound, undesira-
BILE and of far reaching conse.
quences to Yourself, to your neigh
bors and to the county.
The higher the price of land the
more it must produce to make it a
profitable investment and the only
reason why one piece of land
should be worth more than anoth'
or is because it will produce more
or will produce as much with less
labor. No man need think be-
cause he has paid a high price for
a small tract of land he can now
take his ease for, of a fact, he
must necessarily work the harder
to make it pay him. The logic of
farming is the same as in mer-
chandising, which is to buy your
land, materials and labor as
cheaply as possible and market
your crops at the greatest price
possible. 1t is cheap land, even
If extra good, that is wanted. for
surely if q farmer can earn a liv-
lug and fair wages on land worth
fifty dollars per acre, he can earn
better wages should his land have
cost him only twenty-five dollars
per acre; thu interest and taxes on
his investment would be only half
and the percentage of profit just
double.
The enhanced value of a farm
that is not based on the improve
ment of it's land does not count
for much, and the sale of a farm
merely because of what appears a
good price Is a poor excuse for
selling. How often have farmers
sold ont only to find their mis-
take, and in numerous instances
re-purchased the deserted horne,
somewhat the worse for their alb
sence, at an advanced price. The
man who has lived on the farm
until forty or fifty years of age,
like men in other trades, is not fit
for anything else. Should he &c
TO the city he can only hope to be
a common laborer while on the
farm he is q king, lord of his pos
sessions, and cometh goeth as ii
pleaseth him.
All this is different with the
dollar chaser and the land shark
It is their business to reap without
sowing. They buy and sell land
and they expect to make a profit.
1t makes no difference as to CON-
sequences, 1t is a money-making
proposition. They will bargain
for a piece of land at so much pei
acre and without adding two
cents worth of improvement tc
the soil Immediately add a good
stiff per cent. to the purchase
price. This is what they cal
improved" land and the buyer
pays the bill and learns to his sor.
row that he has been the victim
of a wildcat scheme.
Keep your lands, teach you1
boys to love the farm and stay on
them. The farmer is the back
bone of the country and has q
/ better chance than most neonle.
