Five and one-half acres of land be-
longing to the Turner heirs, Camp
bellsville, was divided into lots and
placed on sale Thursday. Phillips g.
Rogers were promoters of the deal.
They divided the plot Into So lots, %
feet front. The total sale amounted
to $l0,587.50. All of the lots we're
sold to people of the town with the ex-
ception of thirty, which Col. r. l..
Faulkner, Coburg, purchased. This
property is in the heart of the pop.
ulated section, and is the last desir-
able plot to be offered. The pur.
chasers of the lots constitute the best
citizenship of the town, and before
long several will begin to erect mod
ern residences. Our county takes a
great deal of interest in the upbuild-
ing up of its capital
Our corn prospects are unusually
good. Tobacco is better than average
years. Hogs and cattle are scarce I,
but few now realize more than in
former years. Watermelons of the
very best quality are plentiful and
bringing good prices. Every one is
satisfied except pie huntersa and chron-
ic grumblers.
We hope prejudice and ignorance
will not get the better judgment OF
the voters at the coming election.

 It win be admitted that the United States has done an excellent work in the Philippines. for the Filipinos themselves but it has been long and costly and viewed from any other standpoint that of the altruistc and the humanitarian not worth while But perhaps that should be compensation enough Left to them selves the people of the Philippines may show ca paeity for selfgovernmen But well be doubted They are more likely to return to their former state of barbar.sm or semtsayagery.
