THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.

These are busy days for members
of the Columbus bar. In past gone
days, the chancery end of the legal
profession here was the minor end Of
it, through the activity of John Bar
leycorn enlarging the criminal docket,
but with the eclipse Of the booze, the
chancery field Il again coming into
its own. Prosperity always brings
activity in chancery matters. A large
amount of property changes hands,
requiring the investigation of titles,
the making of abstracts, the writing
of deeds, etc, and then come the work
incidental to corporations, business
changes, etc. Added to this the enor-
nous job of abstracting titles pre-
paratory for the renewal of the Six
teenth Section leases by the city on
July LIST, and you will find the local
bar busy. They are not complaining,
but are enjoying the harvest.
Why wait until September LIST, the
end Of the rental year, to find the
house you are renting sold, and find
yourself "All dressed up and no place
to go?" Be sensible; tell the Mser
Realty Company your wants and
needs now. They are working out
this problem for others, and they can
help you.
Mr.. j. l.. Walker bought the Schwsb
cottage, erected on the south half of
the northwest quarter Of Square 26
Of Barrys Survey the past week, Mr.
Walker recently purchased the lot adj
joining on the north, and now owns
the whole northwest quarter.
Mr. Frank Hartung recently sold
eighty acres of what formerly was
the Ryland land to Mr.. Bailey, who
recently purchased the Simpson farm,
and Mr.. Watts, formerly of West .
Point This land lies Immediately .
north Of the Simpson place, and it .
sold for $3.50 an acre. When unim-
proved prairie land, off Of a rock road,
brings this figure, it speaks well for
the future of this section.
Where are all the folks coming
from? This is a question often
heard. The answer is easy. 1t is
prosperity money. All Of our busi-
ness establishments are employing
full forces, paying high wages, and
doing a profitable business. All Of
our industries are running to full ca
pacity, employing more men than
ever before, and paying the highest
wage scale ever known The timber
industry is developing all over the
county, utilizing our timber wealth,
employing loggers and mill men. The
public improvements here are giving
to more men. The out
look was never better If the college .
bill goes through, nearly a million
more will be invested here, giving EN-
ployment to hundreds more, and if the |
ground optipned to the college is
included, perhaps fifty small cottages .
will be torn down, making demand
for this many more to supply even
our present population.

10 Is said that stomach trouble
causes more arrangements of the ner-

Of the so-called stomach, liver and
kidney troubles are due almost en-
tirely to the catarrhal conditions OF
those organs.
The headaches. backaches, lost ap-

Nineteenth Amendment, the gradual

burdensome and unpopular, and the

of Sulphur In
 Louisiana Territory
(Golden Age.)

The supply of sulphur for the world formerly came from Sicily,~and was obtained with difficulty, not only because about fifty per cent of the sulphur was wasted, but because the noxious fumes generated in it's puri- fication or smelling were extremely destructive of plant and animal life for miles around.
 Within the past quarter century, the sulphur supply has come almost lie far down under the subsoil of Louisiana, covered with an impenetra- ble bed of quicksand. Fortunes were expended in various plans to find a way through this oil-saturated quick sand, and finally a method was per- fected. The sulphur is now obtained by melting it with hot water forced down one pipe, transforming it into yeast by forcing compressed air through another pipe, and letting 1t boil up to the surface out of a third pipe. It comes out pure and, after being cooled and solidified, is blasted into small pieces which can be loaded , on cars.
 Besides being used in the manu- facture of powder and the vu1caniz- ing of rubber, sulphur Is largely used in germicides- It is the most efficient constituent of many of the sprays | used for killing parasites on trees and vines.
