THE COUNTY FARM SOLD.
Tennessee Party the Purchaser
$4,000 the Price Plans Made
for New Location.

With the exception Of the sign
ing of the deed and the payment
of the money contracted for the
Lincoln county convict and poor
farm. located two miles east of
town has been sold. The purchase
price is sis, 900 and the new owner
will be gentleman from Tennes-
see TIE sale was made by the
Mississippi Development Co.,
who have had an option
from the Board of Supervisors on
the property for some time
An informal meeting-nf the
Board was held Thursday morning
at the court house to complete and
agree on final arrangements in the
transaction and to also make ar
rangements for move of the farm
to another location. While there
wereEno minutes recorded it is un-
.derstood that when the Board
meets in November session a duly
authorized and legalized deed will
be made out and the transfer made
to the purchaser.
At present the plans are that
the farm headquarters will be mo-
we'd out to the Bigner place, which
is also owned by the county, and
located Z miles east, comprising a
tract of land of about 230 acres.
A committee from the Board also
went out Thursday to look the
place over with a view to the move.
Mr.. R. C. Applewhite's place i'm
mediately adjoining the county
farm and comprising about 800
acres is also understood to be con-
sidered as probable location.
The Leader believes that the
Board is taking proper action in
this matter, as from our under
standing of the situation it is their
intention to move the farm onto a
less valuable piece of real estate,
using the convict labor to build it
up as has been done in the present
instance and to put the surplus de.
rived from the sale into the coun-
ty treasury. This will mean cash
in the treasury, which is needed /,
the addition of a welcome immi-
grant, and an additional resource
to the county in the proposed in
crease and value of more thorough
Iy improved real estate.

Ainsworth, first assistant land Miss

tion of one hundred at an early
date. Our basket Ball team was

ton general manager; Hezek iat
Porter, Captain. We expect I'd be
Johnnie on the spot when we receive
a challenge and will also expect
one too.

GRAFTON HALL.

The school at Grafton Hall open.
ed Sept. %. with enrolment of &c
pupils We can't see why we will
not have prosperous school year
with such a good opening Long
before Sept 28 came, during the
warm days of Summer, We find
that our patrons were not sleep
ing; but gathering driftwood to
kindIe our winter fires A new
well and new belfry are some OF
the signs of their work.
The teachers and pupils seem to
be very busy: this must be due to
the fact that the same teachers OF
last year are here again, and know.
ing each other, they and pupils
have nothing to do but get busy
The principal teacher. Miss Ada
Williams, says her high school pu.
pills are proyingRood. This must
be encouraging to patrons as this
is only the second year of. work in
this department. Also the primary
work under Miss Jodie, sister OF
the principal. is a line of interest
due to the fact that the majority
of the pupils know how to study
and the beginners are awakening
to the fact. The intermediate and
High School pupils have organized
"a Literary Society. Aside from
this we have a little talent for
athletics. Our boys and girls have
good organized basket ball teams,
and after little practice they will
be able to contest with other
teams
Sofhg OF oar boys are absent this
week-are busy harvesting
All through the Summer months
the Christians of this neighborhood
met together on Sunday afternoon
for prayer meeting. This good
work is still being carried on.
Next fourth Saturday night Bro.
Darling, pastor Of Mt, Zion, will
preach at the school house. Every
body come and hear him.

der President Mckinley, that the ma
tons greatest era of prosperity is
about to dawn.
Speaking at banquet of the Hi
nois Life Insurance Co., last night,
Dawes pointed to the great crops,
the new federal banking system,
what he called a natural reaction
from the 1913 crisis, and the accel-
Grating force of the European war,
as factors bound to make for pros
perity.
There is no reason to doubt that
the United States is at the beginning
of a great era of prosperity" said
Dawes, "provided-and want to re-
fer to that which is perhaps the most
important thing for all of us to con-
sider-that that quiet, anxious, be-
reaved and great man, President
Wilson, can hold this nation upon an
even keel of right in this present
emergency as he did in that great
emergency he confronted in Mexico"

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

Because Germany isn't sending us
her cheap dyestuffs our textile indus
tries are suffering badly. Can we
make our own dyestuffs? We can,
but private capital won't go into it
unless given a prOhibitive tariff I'M
der which private capital will have
cinch on charging all of US high
prices for all our dyed textiles.
What's the answer? Please some
one give US any other answer than to
have Uncle Sam do what private cap
itaI won't, without the privilege of
skinning us.
