NEW SETTI FRS IN THIS
COUNTY OPTIMISTIC
OVER GOOD PROSPECTS

w. T. Cozart. one of the COLONY of
about seventy families who located
north of White Lakes. about twert,
miles northeast of Stanley, in this
county, early last year was in the
Canital City yesterday.
Mr.. Cozart says the people of the
new colony have splendid prosneets
for a large crop this year. Every
man plowed at least part of his
land last October and thus got the
benefit of the snow and rain which
fell during the winter. Each settler
is farming from twenty to seventy
acres and the main croo this year
wil be pinto beans. Wheat. oats
and rye have also been planted ex-
tensively. Up to this time there is
only one tractor in the community,
but If the settlers are successful in
making a crop this year there will
be manv tractors and much larger
acreage planted in the future.
Several wells are now being dug
and Newton Childress. one of the
colony who has a drilling rig. is ar
ranging to move the same to this
section and put down wells for all
who desire them.
A potato cluh has heen ORGANIZED
and every family in the colony will
have a war garden this year. Many
are also putting out orchards and ar
ranging to go into cattle. sheep, hog
and poultry raising on a large scale
The settlers arranged to construct
a new school building last fall. get
ting ort the necessary timbers and
appropriate site and foundation for
the same: expect'ng to sec"re stnte
