It has indeed been a spectacle to
inspire renewed hope, as well as
business inspiration, to see the
manner in which each Of the three
ginning plants in operation here
have been rushed to keep Up with
their ginning the past week. Every
ginning plant has been the scene Of
the busiest activity throughout the
entire time sinced the.season opened.
Having opened with a rush, the
busy season continues with the cot
ton gins and the warehouse. Never
has there been SO much cotton gin
med here before and never has there
been SO much sold right here at
home. The local ginning facilities
have been increased in All endeavoF
to keep up the number Of plants e.
quail to the large quantity Of cotton
that is being brought here, and the
warehouse is Offering such prices as
have hardly ever been equaled here
and are not being equalled by the
neighboring markets.
Business men Of Leesburg have
gotten busy with a rush in the big
fight that is on to keep Lee county
cotton in Lee county and to have
Lee county money spent right here
in Lee county. They have made an
excellent start, and every day shows
more encouraging results. Such an
impetus has been given to business
as has not been felt here in years. A
tremendous boost not only for bust
ness conditions in Leesburg but for
all Of Lee coanty has been given this
year, and the good results are being
seen already. It is only the begin
ming Of much greater and much
wider growth both in Leesburg and

The House in Happiness
Square.

There's house that stands in Happi-
ness Square,
On little hill just above.
And it's built of brick that is solid and
strong,
Joined fast by the mortar Of love.
Wee windows smile with their glad,
bright eyes,
That glow with the warmth within.
And the walls are white as Gods day
light,
That knows not sorrow or sin.
But it isn't a mansion great or grand,
Though it's treasure is wealth untold,
For ii walls are bare, white love lives
there
Which nobody gets for gold.
And kings may dwell in their marble
And palaces rich and rare,
But there isn't a home in the whole wide
world
Like the house in Happiness Square.
Oh, Happiness Square isn't hard tofnd,
If only you know the way;
And the little house waits, with open
gates,
To welcome you there today.
And to those who love, and tothose who
know,
They may find its counterpart
Iu the tender clasp of goodman arms,
Or the warmth OF woman's heartl
