that land. A good many things had
happened thereabouts in the mean
time. The first school in American
was founded near City Point and
wiped out by an Indian massacre. A
couple of wars were fought; Grant
made his headquarters at the Eppes
homestead, and Lincoln spent his last
day on earth at City Point. These
things. though interesting, did not
stimulate the price of real estate, and
the Du Pont Company was able to
buy all the land it wanted from the
Eppes family for about twenty dollars
an acre. They did not buy the whole
estate. however.
Then the company began making
powder and calling for men. From
all over the country they came -
Greeks and Russians and Turks and
negroes, men from the North and men
from the South. They needed houses
to live in, stores and restaurants. In
April Mr.. Eppes was able to sell a
little more of his land for a little bet
ter price. Nobody believed that the
boom amounted to anything, but it
kept booming just the same. BY June
Mr.. Eppes was selling his land on in
twenty-five foot lots, and he and his
sisters were close to being millionaires
So the Eppes family have been able
to cash in King Charles gift at last.
The early real estate auctions at
Hopewell were regarded as something
of a joke. Lots along Hopewell street
sold for $500. Now they are selling
for ten thousand. A man came down
from Norfolk in the early days on a
spree. He insisted on spending nearly
all his money for lots. Before his
friends could stop him he had squan-
nered three hundred dollars. Then he
spent the rest on assorted drinks, and
went to Petersburg to sober up. In
week he returned, sober and wor-
ried, to see If he could get his money
back. He could, several times over.
But he decided to hold on. Finally
he let the lots go for $4,000. Now
they are worth $35,000.
Little stories like that are too num-
erous to repeat The records prove
that they are true, too. One lot chang

Property is sometimes sold three or
four times before any transfer is re-

Easier Wash Days

In the old days the ancient scrub
bing board gave us the lame back, the
sore knuckles, the tired nerves and the
peeves generally. Beauty fed and
hubby wished he hadn't wed.
Soap has the ability to clean
clothes but you have to make soap do
its work by hard work on your part
just as the driver has to make the
horse haul the load.
Borax, harnessed on soap, makes
the soap do more work and cuts down
the amount of labor on your part.
Every up-to-date housewife knows
the value of boraX, but many do not
realize that it cannot be combined in
proper proportion in bar soap: only
in the form of boraX soap chips. The
proper proportion is one part boraX
and three parts soap.
This amount of borax certainly
makes the soap sit up and take
notice.!
You will find this combination in
"20 Mule Team BoraX Soap Chips"
25c worth will do more cleaning
with less work on your part than SOC
worth of soap powders or bar soap.

as not. A woman could not walk
block in safety. The jitneys operat-
ing between Hopewell and Peters
burg were held up again and again.
One of the first steps in behalf of
order. if not law, was taken by
party of citizens against these high
waymen. A large car was filed with
men. Each had his gun in his hand
and ready. They drove slowly over
the narrow road through the swamps
and pine forests. At dark turning
four negroes jumped in front of the
c1r. covering the passengers with their
revolvers and ordering hands up. The
reply was a volley that killed three
of the negroes. The other took to
the woods. There were fewer high
way robberies after that.
