Land and timber are two things neces.

forests? 1t is question that we must

case. We have much quilted land and
no doubt much more is becoming So

Contractors should take warning from
the cuts made by the court last Janu-

CHE COUNTY NoTES SOLD.

The Fayette County Bank of this city
have bought the entire issue of $50, 900
of notes recently authorized by Fsyette
county to pay off outstanding interest
bearing warrants. The bank takes the
notes at face value and pays for all
expenses of legal advice, printing of
notes and coupons. and other expenses
that may come up in the course of the
issue. This is regarded by county au-
.thorities as a splendid disposition of the
notes and one to the advantage of the
county.
Chairman Shelton and those who
have worked with him in arranging for
the issue and disposition of these notes
have certainly done a splendid work for
the county and particularly for holders
of county warrants who have been
forced to sell them at such heavy dis
counts in the past two years. This
should place all warrants on cash
LASTS and make them good for their
full face value any where in the county
at any time.
