Mr.. J. w. Evans, who is now visit
ing in Adair, left the county and
took up his residence in the West

arrival here he has gone over large
portion of Adair county, and he says
he was perfectly astonished at the
improvements that have been made.
The lands have been doc tored and
on many farms where log cabins and
and frame shacks stood when he left,
new and attractive residences have
taken their places. Thrift makes
valuable farms, he says, and if the
agriculturist of Adair will keep their
lands clean, farms that are now re-
garded as poor will soon become valu
able, and IL buyer should come along
the farmer would have no trouble in
selling for good money. He also says
that the farmers of Adair County do
not realize what a good country they
are living in. Mr. Evans lives in Cor
rail- County, Mo-, where everything is
on the Ngo, lands high, and the pro-
duction great, and the same results
will follow In Adair county if the
farmers continue to keep up the spirit
of improvement. If there is COM
