CHEAP LANDS.

1t will not be long before the lands
in northern Wisconsin, which are
now being sold for song, will all be
taken up, especially the most fertile
of them. Recently the G. w. Jones
Lumber Company sold $4,000 worth
of cut-over-land in the vicinity of
Wabeno TO the United States govern
ment. The land is to be turned over
to the Pottowattomie Indian settlers.
With the land which is being taken
out of the market by the state for
parks and for timber reservations, the
seeker after cheap lands, will awake
some morning TO find that there is
none to be had except at prices
way above their reach. Now is the
accepted time

statements of income to you, and relieve you Of your

or guardian, and advise you on all such matters
AS executor the trust company fulfls the wishes
expressed in last wills and testaments. In appointing
the trust company executor of his estate, man is
certain that his wishes will be carried out as directed
in his will. His wife can be made one of his execut-
with the trust company the other executor In
this way she will be relieved of anxiety and have the
satisfaction of protection from litigation.
Responsibility and integrity are more desirable
than friendship where executors be considered
The trust company represents the highest develope
ment of integrity and responsibility trusted friend
may prove dishonest or incapable. Such possibility
does not exist with the trust company.
Trust companies have earned excellent reputa-
ton as executors and trustees and offer valuable quail

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

There are many institutions for
which Wausau and surrounding cities
must strive in the future. There
have been many in the past. Wausau
has induced some OF them to come
here others have chosen other cities.
We really ought all to feel elated If a
manufacturing plant of any kind can
be induced to cast its lot in northern
Wisconsin, no matter in which city
it decides to locate. We all should
work for northern Wisconsin and
whenever an institution wants to
start up a rivalry to see which wants
it hard enough to give a site or a
bonus let that rivalry be friendly
one. The Pilot does not believe that
there is anything but friendly feel
ing existing one for another among
northern Wisconsin cities. We also
believe that if those cities would
unite and pull together for manufac-
tories, much more could be done than
by working individually. After an
institution is secured, let it be placed
so that each city will fare evenly.
The Marshfield News and Marsh
field Herald show the right spirit
in the editors visit to Wausau and
their subsequent write-up of the
Farmers Cooperative Packing COM
pany. There was an intense strife
between Stevens Point, Marshfield
and Wausau. 1t was finally decided
to hold meeting of the board OF
directors in Wausau and have repre-
sentatives from each city appear and
plead their case. This was done and
at noon a dinner was served at the
Hotel Bells by the Wausau Advance
ment association at which outside
visitors were guests. In reference to
the Wausau meeting the Marshtield
News said:
"Though their mission was not re-
warded with the sought for object,
the Marshfield boosters were well
pleased with their stay in Wausau.
They expressed themselves particu-
larly impressed with the Wausau
spirit of hospitality, described as
unique. Instead of finding a distant,
chilly, attitude as usually is the case
when rivals meet, the invaders were
warmly welcomed and feasted and
toasted at banquet table, notwith-
standing that they came for no other
purpose than to take from Wausau a
highly priced object"
Also the kind words from the Marsh
field Herald: "Wausau is a thriving
city and it's their own fault. Every
business man is for Wausau and
when there is anything TO be had for
advancement of the city's interests it
is not made an individual affair but
every man puts his shoulder to the
wheel and lets the benefits fall where
they may as long as Wausau gets
them. And so it was on the day
the Marshfield delegation was there.
Ostensibly they went over to capture,
by fair representation, an enterprise
Wausau had Graded from infancy,
but they met their enemy with open
arms and made everybody feel at
home by inviting all to be their
guests at dinner given at the Hotel
Bells. You can't get away from
hospitality of that kind, and when
the Marshfield delegation shook the
dust of the city from their feet, and
turned their faces homeward, they
felt the honor of being welcome guests
in one of the best. cities in the Wis
consin river valley"

In communication to the Hous-
ton Post ID. Porter, principal of the
BRENNAN Normal and Industrial COL
lege, writes
Prof. E. L. Blackshear. with his
dogged tenacity has succeeded in or
ganizing some of the best Negro farm
ers in Texas into a farmers con-
gress," having them to come annually
and spend from six to eight days in
our state school, where they can get
strong help by the way of lectures
and coming in contact with the ac-
tual experimental work that cultivates
them a strong love for their farms
and at the same time broadening
their views upon the plans of getting
better results from their many pro-
ductive farms. And many of our boys
are laying their diplomas in the bot
tom of their trunks and taking a part

ment of their farms. They are no

circulation in number of different
cities Arrangements have been made
for its distribution in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington, and thirty other cities

newspaper enterprise ever undertaken
entirely by colored men, and the pur.
pose of the paper is the general uplift

A revival of old memories, barking
back to the antebellum days when he,
as boy, was sold many times on the
auction block as a chattel and finally,
at the age of seventeen. learning of
the war to free the Negroes, he es-
capped from his master and found ref
uge in camp of Federal soldiers, was
occasioned a few days ago in the
mind OF Rev. j. Preston Watson of
Pueblo, Colo, by the receipt of let
ter from Thomas Cannon, an old SOL
dier now residing at Monte Vista.
Colo. 1t was Cannon, then a first lIeu-
tenant in the Ninth Missouri cavalry.
and later promoted to captain, 50
years ago, who formed liking for the
fugitive colored boy and took him in.
Throughout the war, until the close
four years later, Watson remained
with Cannon. Then they separated
with the understanding that Watson
was to go to Gannons home and un-
der his instruction learn the timers
trade. But alternating circumstances
interviewed Although in the years
each frequently tried to find trace
of the other, their efforts proved in
vain until two years ago Watson, then
veteran pastor who had done nearly
40 years service for the African Meth
odist church. learned that Captain
Cannon was living near Leadville.
This being in the district which Wat
son toured as presiding elder, he re-
newed his search and finally found
Captain Cannon, a feeble, gray haired
man, at that time just recovering from
an operation. "Of course neither of
US knew the other remarked the Rev.
Mr.. Watson in telling of the meeting.
when l knew Cannon in war times
he was a square shouldered young
man with long black mustache and
bushy black hair. Half century later
l found him an old man, little resem-
bling his former self. But the old
friendship still was there. He seemed
mighty glad to see me, and for two
hours we talked over old times. Then
later he came to my house and we sat
up all night long talking old times"
Reminiscently in his letter received a
few days ago Mr.. Cannon said: Again
L recall an incident-the colored boy

Va, Watson was sold when baby
with his mother to Robert Barnett,
Bowling Green, Pike county, Mo. When
four years old his mother died and
from that time until ten he was sold
| five times on the auction block in Mis-
souri,. Educated through his own ef-
forts entirely. Rev. Mr.. Watson
is one of the prominent retired pastors
of his church in the West. He has
lived in Pueblo, first 20 years ago and

"Banneker. the Negro astronomer,
was born at Ellicott's Mills, Maryland
a few miles from Baltimore, several
years before the Revolutionary war.
He learned to read while doing farm
work and managed to study and be-
come quite proficient in mathematics.
In his study of astronomy he was en-
couraged and assisted by Andrew ELI
colt. an astronomer and civil engineer
OF scientific attainments and founder
of Ellicott's mills and connected with
some large enterprises. Ellicott was
friend of Washington and when he
was employed to survey the District
of Columbia and locate the city of
Washington he gave employment to
Banneker. After this Banneker made
astronomical calculations and pub
lished almanacs which were used in
Maryland and some other states.
Thomas Jefferson sent one of the al
manacs to the French Academy of
Sciences and the secretary of the navy
wrote Banneker a complimentary let
ter. He died in Baltimore in 1906 and
