The Cove Lumber Company busl-,

use more mule power. Harve Griffen,
their right hand man. who looks after
the mules for the company, was sent
to Fort Smith last Monday night to
bring home six big mules to help haul

mill.
Another big jolly lot of hunters for
Cove. Lee Turner and G. w. Sawyer
padded the canoe for jolly bunch
of hunters from Van Buren,, Fort
Smith, Joplin and Coffeyville. After
ordering SIS worth of groceries from
the Cove Lumber Company, they
started for the mountains in the
southern part of Polk county in

At Welcome Home school house last
Saturday night Mrs. r. E. Lowe, the
teacher, gave a box supper to raise
money to buy seats for the school.
There was a large crowd out and Mrs.
Lowe rendered a nice little program,
and Mr.. Lowe sold the boxes and a
cake to the prettiest girl. The cake
brought S44.80, in all $50, and all had
a good time. Mr.. Lowe will order the
seats at once.
There is talk of party organizing
company to buy or lease 25 or so
acres of land and planting to straw
berries and blackberries, making the
stock at $40 per share. Hire man
to manage the farm. If blackberries
will make $3.50 per acre and straw
berries will make $1,000 per acre, yhat
is better than stock of this kind. Bet
ter than bank stock Yes, better than
oil stock Men who have loose money
think about this, and come to Cove
and let's organize a stock company
and make more money than than any other
kind of farming.
Cove is still on the boom. There

his home; T. A. Woodell is painting
his nice home; Mr. Harreld has fin
ished painting his home, and Mrs.
Francis McDaniels has lately finished
painting her home. Everybody in
Cove wants to paint
The Stuart Land Company never
was more busy than today. They are
bringing in the people from all over
the country. Their advertising,
reaches most all the states. Adver-
Using does pay. 1t is the best meth
cd of reaching the people who want
homes and land. There is no other
way that will reach the good people as
quick as advertising. If you don't
advertise you are not progressive. See
the sales that the Stuart Land Com
pany is making; T. J Burk, 25a to W.
A. Long; S. T. Moor, 76a to D. P.|
Brewer; E. E. Everham, 46a to A. C.I
Daniels; S. B. Sherwood, 80a to H. w
Muller; ]. T. Brown, 160a to S. f.
Coalman; W. E. Mccoy, 80a to Tom
Thomas.
Notice the merchants of Cove, and
how they advertise. All good progress
sive merchants advertise because it,
pays to advertise. 1t gets results.
One day you had to ask the merchant
for what you want. Different now.
The progressive merchant meets you
at the door today, with an advertising
smile, and says: Brother, what can
| sell you today?" 1t pays to adver-
tlse, and that is why Cove grows.
She advertises. Come to Cove and
watch her grow.
