very fine progress along every line Of
activity The population increased
considerably more than 5000. Over
1000 acres of land have been put in
cultivation which, at that time, was
lying idle. Farm land increased in
yalee 120 per cent. The average acre
of land has Increased in value more
than SO. Many new buildings have
been erected all over the county and
the school term has been very material
" heightened. The county commence
ment has come in the past two years
and has taken a firm hold upon the
people. When special trains are run
for the purpose of carrying the chill
dSen to the county seat to engage in
contests of different kinds and to heaS
addresses from the States leading. ed

quire whether this is the same old
county that it was short decade

same county but county of higher
ideals and vastly larger achievements,
