People are getting interested in the
land down here. Now. don't just get

to buy. There is no place know Of
where this opportunity can be beaten.

the education and this is the best way
to get it. Practical education is what
counts. The two Esperanto classes

Tuesday, March Comrades Nash
and Austin started setting out the fruit
trees to-day: as there are about $500
trees, we will have about Is acres Of

and his crew will do to those stumps.
Well, John, we are smiling, too, and it

is it where you live2 With first class
harness shop, woodworking shop and
blacksmith shop, we are in fine shape |
to assist you farmers to rig yourselves

neighbors. Ii would do you good to
see the fellows clearing land-when
they get through. it looks like real
picnic ground. have often wondered
why the Colony has not appealed to

are not interested in cooperation, or is
It because you have no hope of ever I
getting here. If you only knew how

as a man in this kind of
a society. Why don't you get inter

fore us. Geo. Cantrell was in Lees
vile to-day tending to business. Geo. f
