where | have lived for the past
year, a man planted two lots 50x
150-ft in onions and some few
other vegetables, and sold $3.50
worth of produce from these two
city lots. The secret of this
yield is the wonderful climate
and soil.
The pear crop has been a
money-maker this year. Bart
lets have sold readily at 81 per
box /. o. b. Mudford, or any
shipping point on the railroad
and other varieties have sold
higher. And, yet, pears can be
purchased for home canning at
very low figures, as low as q
cent a pound. These, Of course,
are 4calls, z but just as good for
home use. BY having q canning
outfit a family can live here
cheaper than in Louisiana. The
finest cherries sell at s cents per
pound ID fine price for the
grower, and also for the con-
sumner. bought cherries from
one lady who had a number Of
trees shade trees for the lawn
one Of which hears annually
from 1000 to 1250-lbs, and BY q
brief calculation you see the
amount this tree will yield in
solid cash. The apple crop is be-
ing harvested now. They will
bring a good price, and yet
.culls' can be bought for home
use at from 25c a box to 35 or
40cts. There is b canning fac
tory at Talent, where we are
now living. This plant takes
care of great deal of the fruit
and vegetables which would
otherwise be wasted. We bought
cans from this plant and put up
forty five BIB cans Of Kentucky
Wonder beans. besides some
sweet corn. We have used some
of the beans since coming to Ia
lent, and they are as good as.
those fresh from the vines. TIC
we do not use them all we can
readily sell them at the public
market in MedfOrd. And now /
wish to say a few words to our
many friends, dealing somewhat
in matters pertaining to our
selves.
Our health has been much inn
proved by the climate. and we
feel in a measure at least COM
pensated for the sacrifices made
in leaving Louisiana. | now

among excellent people, and in
sight of the lovely orchards.
The foot Of the nearest mountain
is but a mile and a half and seems
to be but a few steps. Our
weather is fine. We have had a
few light sprinkles recently to
keep the grass green, but no rain
to speak of. We are living on
the Pacific Highway" leading
from Canada through California,
which will have a paved centre.
The bonds have been issued and
work will begin in the near fu-
ture. This county has issued
bonds to the amount of one-half
million dollars. I expect to, take

Years Ago and By Close Appliea-

E. J, Stuerwald, whose place Of
business you will find at No. 328,
Chestnut street, in our fine little city
cf Virginia, wants everybody to
know that he is not here summering,
or altogether for his health, though
he admits the climate is invigorating.
He is here for business, spelled with
capital letters, with particular stress
on the first syllable. He is not only
here for it, but he is here to get it,
and he is such a persistent fellow in
all his undertakings that you can't get
away from him, once he has succeed
ed to call your attention to his goods
and accomplishments.
Oh no, he does not hypnotic you,
unless it is done inadvertently and
without his knowledge. He simply
tells you what he has got to sell and
what he can do for you, and he lets
you do the thinking afterwards, salts
fled that if your grey matter is work
ing right you will give him call
when you need anything in his line
Mr.. Stuerwald comes from the good
old stock that in the middle ages, in
the little kingdoms Of Germany, were
in the habit of getting things moving
and the spirit of his ancestors is in
him. He is himself Minnesota pro-
duction, born and raised upon the
fertile fields where cows are fed on
the real stuff instead of brewers slop
and sawdust, and apparently he grew
up to be a lusty kid. But farming
was not in his line, and he set out

having abandoned the unsatisfactory
state of bachelorhood over Is years
ago. He lives with his family at No.
406, Cleveland avenue, and their
home is made sunny by their little
daughter. Francis, who is IL years
old, and attends the Virginia high
school.
Mr. Stuerwald has been at the head
of the lakes nearly IL years. In that
time he has had the opportunity to
study the people, their need and de-
sires, and any one dealing with him
gets the benefit Of his experience. He
is making a special effort to stock
his store with the choicest holiday
goods that money and knowledge can
procure. He does not intend to let
out of town dealers get the best of
him, and he means to hold his own
with his competitors on the range.
He wishes every man, woman and
child in Virginia to visit his place CT
business, assuring you, one and all
that whether you purchase goods or
not, he considers it pleasure to wait
on you and show you the good things
he has to offer.
And in conclusion he wishes the
people of Virginia. and of the range
a merry Christmas, prosperous New
Year, and all the blessings a kind
Providence may bestow upon mortals.
Mr.. Stuerwald makes it his profess
sion to fit glasses, after careful ex-
animation of you needs, and to sell
such goods at reasonable prices.
He claims to carry the largest stock
Of goods in the jewelry line on the
range, and after examining his neck
laces, chains, watches, diamonds, in
rings and in stickpins, and wherever
one of his precious stones will show to
advantage, one is inclined to believe
that he is not exaggerating.
He also carries q large and fine as
sortment Of silverware, knives, forks,
spoons, chatting dishes and such select
stock of cut glass and brassware, the
lbtest imported hand-painted china
ware, electric lamps, clocks, and in
short, everything found anywhere in
first class jewelry, store where
goods Of art are exhibited.
Mr.. SStuerwad does not make a
speciality Of any certain manufacture
ers make, he carries all that is first
class, and also cheaper grades TO- suit
the customer.

pair of spectacles may be the means
Of saving a persons eyesight, while
i'll fitted is bound to irritate and ag-
gravate the trouble.
His stock is q well selected one, and
in the line of jewellery more SO than
any other, the trick Of buying is what
counts. When q conscientious dealer
knows how to purchase the best for
the lowest possible market price, it
stands to reason that his customers
will get the benefit of his experience
and skill.
Twelve years since Mr.. Stuerwald
took up the study Of the optical art,
and twelve years Of daily experience
in the examination of peoples eyes,
and the fitting of proper glasses have
added to his knowledge in the art.
People shy at going to young doctor
who has just received his medical
diploma, not because they doubt
either his ability or honesty, but be-
cause he has not had the experience.
And yet, the same people, when it
becomes a question of treating the
most important and tender organs Of
human being will throw reason and
good sense to the winds, and some will
go to a five and ten cents store tc
have their eyes examined and glasses
fitted. A man can be an expert
jewelry man and know nothing about
optical work. Mr.. Stuerwald has
fitted himself for both, the profession
al man and the merchant. He does
not pretend to be a doctor, to treat
your eyes when in need of treatment
but he does claim that one ounce Of
prevention is worth several pounds O.
cure, and that often properly ant
scientifically fitted glasses will pre-
vent diseases Of the eyes, and some
times even blindness. >
It has not always been fair wind AM
gentle breezes with Mr.. Stuerwald
Like other business men he has seel
his up and downs, but like good bust
ness man, he has profited by past ex
periences, the fair and the foul, an
he has at last got on solid footing
located in lively growing town, q
Virginia, a finely stocked store, whicl
is all his own, and hosts of friend
both in business affairs and socially.
| Mr.. Stuerwald has been in business
in Virginia nearly four years and dur

mans found a good field.
In 1906, the business had increased
to such extent that they found it
necessary to secure larger quarters,
and moved to the place where the work
is now carried on.
Mr.. Litman owns his own plant, and
has his own rig on the streets, picking
up and delivering work. He feels that
being the first one in the business, and
turning out first class work, he is
entitled to his share of the business
in his line, and evidently the people
of Virginia feel the same way, because
he and his help are as busy as bees,
Nine years in the business means
that number Of years experience, and
it's experience that counts in the

as in any other line.
