number of the subdivisions have al.
ready been sold, and a middle
Georgia immigrant, a Mr.. Enlish,
has already settled upon the tract

dition Of the roads we have al
ready. Now, we don't want to
slight any road in the county. We
want to fix them all, and we will do
so just as soon as possible. We have

Additional Banking Facilities
Are Being Urged For LsesbuEg
Keeping Lesburg money home would aid in the further rapid grow
III Of the cily.---AddidOnaI banking facilities would be
Of great benefit locally.

Additional banking facilities for
Leesburg, which have been eag-
gested from time TO time here have
again been mentioned by those who
are interested in the expansion Of
business and trade here and who
wish to see ample facilities afforded
in the way Of financial aid to ali
who need money for this purpose.
The establishment Of an additional
bank has been suggested recently as
something that would do much to-
ward aiding in the lettering Of trade
and commercial conditions in Lees
burg. which has grown SO rapidly
in spite Of the fact that local bank
ing facilities are not sufficient forall
requirements.
The local bank has made good in
its field, it ii pointed out, and its
success has been very marked. It
ID also observed that there lisa great
deal Of banking business here which
the local bank is unable to do on
account Of the fact that its facilities
are limited. Another bank to aid
in taking care of the banking BUSH
ness Of Leesburg and vicinity would
be most helpful. enterprise, it is
suggested, and would in no manner
|iniure but in reality stimulate tho
live business that is being done by
the bank now herr. In this man
ner the commercial life Of Leesburg
could be greatly stimulated and inn
proved. making itIDore clearly than
ever the livsst and most progressive
community in the county.
There are many here who are in
terested in the establishment Of u
new band, though no definite step
has. ever been taken in that direc-
ton. Two suggestions have been
made relative to the establishment
OF a second bank here. One isthat
it BE- Rnancied BY private capital
furnished BY local stockholders The
other is that banking system 9th
or than the one now represented
here be invited to establish a bank
here, thereby giving q wholesome.
and lively rivalry that would result
in much greater aud more rapid
commercial growth for Leesburg.
There seems to be a growing sem
timent here that Leesburg should
have increased banking facilities for
the betterment of all concerned,
and an active effort for the organi-
zation of a seconk bank may be w
dertaden soon, according to those
who are interested in the matter.
Any effort i'm this particular that
may be made in behalf ofthe furth-
er growth Of Leesburg and Lee
county will be welcomed by all ag-
grsssivs and enterprising business
men here.

~ OSTON.-Love finds the way, but
"a the gentle god is put to extrena-

the story of two loving hearts, sundered

Doubtless there have been others, but
this is the first formal record OF pro-
posal in bathing costumes half a mile

The joke of it was that the question
was popped while the stern parent
watched the proceeding from the
shore.
The heroine was Aisle Ackroyd,
one of the girl swimming champions
of Boston, and the young man who
won her heart and took her hand
for that was about the way of twas
Daniel O'Rourke, better known as
Danny, also of Boston and as fine,

would want at lover. And just why
Papa Ackroyd objected does not APP

because an indiscreet neighbor limited
at the love story before either Aisle or
Danny was ready to tell their secret

One night this gossip, who had prob
ably dropped over there for the very
purpose, remarked to Papa Ackroyd:

Haven't you heard of Danny?
Why, he's the captain of basketball

he's the boy who ran the baseball
team last season, and he plays ON the
football team; all the girls are crazy
about him and Aisle"
And at once they summoned Aisle
and sternly Intercepted her about

Then the storm was on. Aisle sent
back to her room, mother in tears.
Next day Papa Ackroyd found
there was basis enough for the report
Every one knew that Aisle and Danny
were in love, for they were together
whenever possible, especially in the
water, for both were fine swimmers.
And at home that night the irate par
