 Listen! Cove is planning to have a ! big Fouth of July celebration. There are people in Polk county that never saw the county seat and we want them ! to come to see Cove first so they will i be prepared to see larger city. We want to advertise this celebration two months ahead. We want public speakers, merry y-go-round, baseball games, street carnival, lemonade stands. big dinner, plenty to eat and drink We have the water and the shade trees. Everybody think of this and come to Cove July 4th.
 E. Carpenter and J. R. Martin of Springfield, H., are spending a little time in Cove looking around at the county. Mir. Carpenter has 20 acres of land close in that has increased wonderfully in value in the last two years. Two years ago it was offered for sale at $150. Now his price is $1,O00. That is what hurts onr coun- ty, for non-r esidents to own land and never spend dime on improvements, but ask three times as much as land is worth. What we want is good pro- gressive men to buy and improve our country. Tillers of the soil are what we are looking for.
  Card of Thanks.
