novel menaces. One lies in the fact
that the gallery desertion leaves only
a ''silk stockinged" audience, and to that
the modern playwright is writing. An
other alleged menace is economic. He
believes the encouragement of a sleav-
age between the 1.-TWO o-dollar-show'' and
the 10-cent movie encourages class dis

Real Estate Wanted
FOR AGRICUL TURAL CLUBS

This is a new scheme to get city peo-
pie into the country. We are having
calls for farms from people who wish
to colonize and form small agricultural
clubs. where several medium priced
farms can be got i'll close proximity to
each other. They are purchased and
these people work them and pay for
them on the instalment plan, the farms
are first bought by people who have
money thinking it a good Investment,
fruit berries, vegetables, etc, are the
crops that are raised, and small dairies
when the farms are large enough Some
times these people are all of one ma
tionality and like to own where it is
possible all the land in their little neigh
borhOOd.
We are taking options on small farms
| within a radius of a few miles Of Brat
| tleboro where we can get them neal
each other.
The fact that we take the options
| does not always mean that they viii
/ be purchased as some may be so higf
! in price that they win not purchase.
We would he glad to hear from any
one having a farm for sale.

PARDONS FOR 1853
CONICTS GRANTED
Men TO BE Released on Thanksgiving
Day or as Soon Thereafter
as Possible.

Austin. Tex. Nov. 1S.-Pardons
numbering 15S will be granted by
Governor Colquitt on Thanksgiving
day or as near thereafter as possible.
The original list OF % has been aug
mented by Sc recommendation made
by the board appointed by The Thirty
third Legislature to investigate the
penitenuary enrolment with a view
toward recommendation Of executive
clemency for such prisoners as were
without friends or relatives 10 inter
cede for them. Many Of these pris-
oners had also been sentenced TO long
terms for minor offenses under the
pernicious fee system method Of
prosecution.
OF the number OF additional par
dons to be granted so are for negroes
and about % are for Mexicans who
had already served sufficient lengths
of time to make retribu;ion for Of
fenses, and whose conduct in the PEN
itentiaries had been exemplary.
On Christmas Governor Colquitt
will pardon about 200 prisoners whose
sentences have been considered
worthy of the offenses and whose
conduct has been good. Many OF
these also are prisoners who have had
no friends or relatives to assist them
in securing executive clemency.
Because Of clerical work necessary
to the enrolment and filing of pardon
cases many of the Thanksgiving
cases will not be released until sew
eral days after the date specified.
However, they will all be advised that
their releases are forthcoming.
