CIRCULATION 2.327. ? ?? ? ? , ETotico Subscribers, A Bine X on your paper denotes vou j ?re in arrears. A Red X shows that your subscription expires in the issue crossed. All through this issue you will find references to a sale of lots that will ake place on December 20th at 11 o'clock. We are glad that this very -desirable property is to be put on the market this way for several reasons. First, they will necessarily go cheap because there will be so many offered at once. Sieond, they will be soid on such easy terms that any one can buy. Any man i9 foolish to pay rent. It is better to pay interest and owi your own home, aud then, too, these people will thorough y advertise this sab *nd in that way bring new per pie to this town who otherwise would not come here. Wo hr?r^? tho n?.>T)le of the town will ** v "' r- i *- - - take an interest in this matter ami attend the sale. Tbeie are a number ot young men in town who spend more <everv mouth iooii-shly than they would have to pay on a lot. Wo understand that you can p :y $10 cash ar.d $5 per month nntil paid for. You would soon find yourself with a nice lot and wonder how you got it. i'VV ^ ' < V' "General prosperitj reigns supreme throughout tne county. We nave been making annual trips over the / <5001117 for thirty years and we have uevfer found our people in better condition. The crops have been fair and the prices have been good, and there is but little cause . for complaint. There is a little unrest among som^ of the people of the Fork in the section ^proposed to annex to Richland county mnd the same feeling exists among the people of Brookland, which territory, also is in the clutches of annexation. * ' ' III 1 Wqbc wnat toe ^Uucomu wm uc ui coarse cannot be intelligent I}" forecasted; bnt in either event there is nothing to be gained by such procedure. If the election carries, these i people will find out when u is too 'ate, ; that they have made a mistake; that ] the conditions are no better in Richland than in Lexington; that they can never hope to have lower taxes, bet- , ter schools, better road9 and bridges in the county of Richland than they can have in the county of Lexington. . They will soon realize that a pound of ^eofctonor a bushel of corn will not bring more in Richland oounty than it will brine m Lexington. We are warning these peop'e row that once they go to Richland they will not be able to come back to ietingt* n without selling their lands and buying i again. These are questions to be A train aKniM f.hft ma wuoiu^wu* ? "jority yote against the proposed "scheme, the people will have been < put to heavy expense, for what ? To spatify the few who are now clammering to make a change with wrong notions or for selfish purposes. We < believe that the people of these two i sections?the majority of thera at ! least?will view the matt r in a broad 1 light and will not vote against their own interests, just to gratify the wishes of a few disgruntled and dissatisfied citizens, who hope to reap < their own gain by going to Richland, i .^Now you think seriously over this matter before you act and not listen .at the bright future pictured by those ! who are advocating rhtse schemes.
