This week is the LAST one of
Masonic visits and consequently

Oskaloosa, Iowa. Here We was met
at the depot by A. G. Clark, w. M.
and grand custodian, who took me to
his pleasant home. Bro. John A.
Spencer came down from Grinnell.
Quite large number of the members
were present and good meeting was
held. A fine supper was served at
the close of the meeting. This lodge
is in good condition and is doing we'll
under cur grand custodian. From here
| went to Waterloo, Iowa, where l ad
dressed a prospective Masonic club.
There were about twenty-five present.
In this city we have about 300 colored
people, one church, the A. NJ. E., with
Baptist mission. Rev. l. w. Bess
entertained me while there. The daily
newspapers spoke very highly of my

buque lodge, No. 20, at Dubuque.

wards was treated to very fine ban
quet prepared by the Oldest Mason in

Jr., is the j. w. and a very excellent
young man, credit to the race. Our

members of Mcneil lodge, No. 81.
Here the lodge had no meeting hall.
but consultation with its officers and
grand officers revealed the fact that
they would soon be in their new hall
ere soon. While here was the guest
of the grand treasurer, M. 0. Culberr
son. Our next and last official visit
for this Masonic year was with Hiram

We desire to call the attention of
our readers to Mr.. Barrett's candi-
dacy for school treasurer and urge
upon them the necessity of going to
the polls and casting their vote for
him. The small vote cast at school
election is very detrimental to the
best interests of our schools. The
school election is probably the most
important election held in our city

JONES FARM BRINGS
THE RECORD PRICE
OF S47,500 FRIDAY
DEAL CLOSED MARKING THE
TOP NOTCH RECORD IN MAUI
RY REAL ESTATE.
ia. NOLEN WAS The PURCHASER
Sold Seven Years Ago for $23,500-An
Average of Over SOL Per ACre-Mr.
Jones Retains Possession Until
Jan. I, 1915-To Be Subdivided.

After several weeks of dickering
and Strengthening out OF titles, the
sale of Highland Stock Farm, the
home of w. H. Jones, to f. A. Nolen,
of Nashville, was finally put through
about 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon.
The deal was made through A. l..
Blocker & Son, the real estate men,
OF this city.
According to the terms of the deed,
Mr.. Jones retains possession Of the
farm until Jan. /, 1915. Mr.. Nolen
then takes it over and will move to
it to make his home there. He is at
present the head of large fertilizer
plant in Nashville, and said to be a
gentleman of considerable means.
After moving to it, he will subdivide
the farm into several smaller tracts
and sell them off. A road will be
opened from pike to pike, so as to
make these subdivisions more acces-
sible and desirable. However, Mr..
Nolen will probably retain the resi-
dence, barn, outbuildings, and some
of the land for his personal use.
The sale of this land marks high
water record in the real estate annals
of the county. There are SIS acres
in the place, and it brought an aver
age of slightly over $91 per acre.
This same piece of property was sold
about six or seven years ago to Mr..
Jones by the John Witherspoon Frier-
son estate for about $23,500. The
present price is an advance of exact
ly $4,000 over that, or little over
1000 increase. 1t is true that Mr..
Jones has made considerable i'm
provement in buildings and upon the
land, but he has cleared at least $780,
900 upon the deal.
! The farm, which is better known
as the Clopton place, is about two
miles south of the city on the Moores'
Vile pike. 1t is one of the finest
country homes in the county. Situat-
ed upon commanding elevation, the
residence has most beautiful view
from it. 1t is an old colonial brick
building, which has been recently re
, paired and thoroughly overhauled by
Mr.. Jones until it is one of the most
elegant homes about the city. The
land is in fair state of cultivation
and runs from the Mooresville to the
Glendale pike. The Louisville 6
l Nashville Railroad cuts through the
back part of 1t.

Makes RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are
Taken

1T is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, arc be al crippled
up, AID bent out of shape with It;
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
rheumatism comes from weak. in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only. prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge IN the joints and muscles, to-
scratch and irritate and cause rkeu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys.
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out Of
TIE system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, ard
bladder disorders. You will find il
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters net how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it is
practically impossible to take il into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxones
costs but trife at any frst-class
drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized to sell it on positive money
back guarantee Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.
