MANY new FAMILIES
ARE SETTLING IN lee
HOmGSGGkerS are Going There
to Live

Leesburg. Ca, April 21.-Leesbucg
and Lee county are undergoing an in
dustrial re-awakening, which is most
marked at this time. The revival OF
interest in business and general con-
mercial life is noticeable not only here
but throughout the entire county.
The number of new families that
have moved into the county since last
September is exceptionally large. An
unofficial estimate places this number
as high as forty for one section of the
county alone. What is true of that
section is true of other sections, and
in somewhat smaller degree of every
section of the county.
The interest in building is an am
pie manifestation of the interest tina;
the people of the county are showing in
building up their commercial and in
dustrial interests. In Leesburg alone
there are now as many as half dozen
new residences in course of construc-
ton, while many more will be built
before the summer has ended.
In Smithvlle the buildings destroy
ed by the recent fire will be replaced
with modern brick structures, which
speak we'll for the enterprise and ag-
gressiveness of that town. 1t is hoped
that construction work on some O.
these buildings will commence within a
very short time. When these buildings
are replaced with modern brick build
ings, Smithville will be in far better
shape than it was before the fire.
Such notable indications of progress
and aggressiveness in all business lines
is one OF the best sign that Lee coun-
ty is to have an unusually prosperous
year in 1918. The farmers of the
county are making their crops at
smaller expense for fertilizers AMI
other accessories than in many years,
so that the harvests this fall should
bring them more profit than usual.
Best of all, too is the indication that
the crops in Lee county this year will
be exceptionally good. This is true
not only of the cotton crop but also of
every other of the numerous crops
grown here.

lowing circular reporting comparative
sales of fertilizer tags for the last
three years:
l am in receipt of letter from J. s.
Wood & Bros, cotton factors of Sa
vannah, from which l quote as fol-
lows:
"One of the bears against cotton
markets is that the sale of guano this
year shows an enormous increase over
1911-12. Of course we cotton factors
dislike to see prices unduly put down
by bears in speculative markets"
Therefore, have thought proper TO

for which tags were sold by this de-
partment for the years 1901, 1911-12
