COUNTY FARM LAND
BRINGS Low FIGURE

A 57-acre tract Of land belonging
to the county farm has been sold at
public auction for the very low price
of $1,000 or approximately $26.s5
an acre.
This tract is separated from the
tract on which the almsh9use is locat-
ed by a strip of persoAally owned
land, and, as it has Of late been i'm
possible to secure enough help to
have it cultivated it waS decided to
sell, in accordance with a recently en-
acted law making such sale legal.
At the sale only two bidders ap-
peared. They were Hon. lW. F. Ste
venson, who started it OFF at $500
for the tract Mr.. T. E. Mdlloy, rep
resenting the county, ran the bid up
to $1,000 and had it knocked down to
him. 1t has since been determined
that, as the sale was legally advertis-
ed and carried out the land could not
be bought in by the county but must
be taken by the highest bidder. Thus
Mr.. Mulloy finds himself with the
land on his hands. He does not regret
his action, however, as he has been
offered $3,5Oo for the tract, but
thinks it should bring more than that.
The 25-acre tract occupied by the
almshouse it not affected by the sale,
although it is the intention to even
tually dispose of the entire property
and with the proceeds Of the sale
erect modern building on small
plot near town. This will hardly be
done during the present financial
stringency.

SOME KIND WORDS TO
OUR MANY FRIENDS

We have refrained as long as we
could from having anything to say
about subscription collections, but
the time has come when we must
speak or bust!
Though other costs and prices have
fallen lately the price of paper and
other costs of producing newspaper
have not been reduced and give no
hope of reduction in the near future.
Our income has been reduced but
our outgo continues the same.
Among our 1000 subscribers there
are now more than one thousand be-
hind with their subscriptions. This
money cannot mean very much to
each subscriber, but in the aggregate
it means much to us.
Do you get the point?
Here is the best inducement we
can offer you to be prompt (besides
the desire for a good conscience):
The Progressive Farmer, the very
best farm paper in the world, will
cost you $1.OO.
The Thrice-A-Week New York
World will cost you $1.OO
The Advertiser will cost you $1.5O.
Here are FIVE papers a week, each
one the best in it's line, worth $3.50.
For limited time we are going to
offer them all for $3.50.
To take advantage of this great
proposition only two things are neces-
sary-to pay for The Advertiser in
advance and do it quickly.
Pay Mr.. John p. Gurganus, our
representative, or pay at the office.

REV. MR.. PEELER
breaches AT PAIU c

breaches AT ST PAULS
- Rev. l.. E.. Peeier preached his first
sermon at st Pauls last Sunday even
ing. A large congregation turned cut
to greet him and all who attended
were deeply impressed with their new
minister. In few well chosen words
MIR. Peeler stated that Chesterfield
had been well recommended 20 him ::
that so far he had not been disap-
pointed. He hoped Chesterfield would
be as well satisfied as he.
From the text, "Thc blood of Jesus
Christ His son cleanses us from all
SIM" Rev. Mr.. Peeler delivered a
masterly sermon. He de6ned sin in all
its forms; its progress and its effects
upon the soul in plain but powerful
language; n words that wern simple
and direct. He made his points with
ease and illustrated his discourse
with appropriate annect 1te end quo
tation. Rev. Mr.. Peelers method OF
delivery is quiet and intense and is,
withal, very pleasing.
After the services most &C the
congregation went forward to meet
their new minister and to welcome
HIM to his new charge.
