factor in this community, who took
charge of our merry motor party and

while in this town. He is farmer of
Caledonia that is making success
in life. He has one of the loyliest
homes in his section.
The business men Of Caledonia
should be ashamed of themselves for
neglecting to orgs niZe commercial
club for the great industrial develop
ment that is bound to follow the
opening of the consolidated school
for already good citizens are being
forced to locate at other places as
there are not houses for sale or rent.
and no places for students to get
board How can Caledonia expect
to build up a fine school or land
new industries without we wake up
and organize a wide-awake CONNER
cial club? Caledonia is a good town
and one Of the healthiest in the state
Let's boost it, don't neyle't IL any
longer, but .et together and cut TIE
bitter weeds off of the vacant lots
and have a sale of lots and build
up Caledonia and get out of the old
fashioned way Of the Sixties
The army worm has made his APP
pearmce and is eating the leaves Of
the cotton However, all Of our aid
frmers say they are glad they have
come as they will do no damage but
will do the cotton good by eating off
the leaves and letting the Sunshine
to the bolls, causing tnem to open
more rapidly. This is the first army
worms in this section in nineteen
years
