COUNTY FARM LAND
BRINGS LOW FIGURE
* t
7 \
A 57-acre tract of land! belonging
to the county farm has been sold at j
public auction for the very low price <]
of $1,500 or approximately $26.35 s
an acre. *
This tract is separated from the 1
p
tract on which the almslu use is locat- v
ed by a strip of perso Ally owned
land, and, as it has of 1( to been impossible
to secure enot gh help to ^
have it cultivated it wai decided to v
sell, in accordance with a recently en- ^
acted law making such stile legal. e
At the sale only two'Jbidders ap- v
peared. They were Hon.lw. F. Ste- a
venson, who started it at $500 ^
for the tract. Mr. T. E. |(dlloy, representing
the county, ran the bid up
to $1,500 and had it knocked down to 2
him. It has since been {determined b
that, as the sale was legacy advertis- d
ed and carried out the lai^d could not v
be bought in by the county but must e
be taken by the highest Bidder. Thus \*
Mr. Mulloy finds himself with the C
land on his hands. He does not regret ji
his action, however, as he has been
offered $3,500 for the tract, but ^
thinks it should bring more than that. ^
The 25-acre tract occupied by the 1
almshouse it not affected J>y the sale, p
although it is the intention to even- ^
tually dispose of the entire property .
and with the proceeds ef the sale b
erect a modern building on a small '
plot near town. This wiU hardly be
done during the present financial
stringency. o

THE BIG COTTON CROP
Washington, Dec. 13.?The cotton
rop which began the season in the
vorst condition in fiftv vonro
urned out to be the biggest crop
ince 1914, with a production of 12,
87,000 bales, according to final esimates
announced today in the De>artment
of Agriculture.
The lateness of winter, the departnent
said, has helped to increase the
tize of the crop by permitting the
>lant, which was late in getting start(d,
to mature.
The price of cotton paid to prolucers
December 1, was announced
is fourteen cents a pound, the low;st
for that date since 1915.
The final production estimate is 1,>00,000
bales more than forecast from
he condition of the crop late in June,
^ast improvement was shown as the
>eason progressed and the August
condition brought a forecast of 12,783,000
bales. That was reduced by
he September condition of 12,123,000
t>ales.
In Texas and South Carolina the
:rop is a record one, as is that of Arkansas.

PROHIBITION EXONERATED
YOUNG MEN OF MT. CROGHAN
DENY THE ALLIGATION AND
DEFY THE ALLIGATOR
They Remove The Blot Of Last
Week's Row ?>everal Miles From
Their Midst And Cast Reflection
On Their Elders
The following communication has
been received by the Advertiser with
the request that it be published.
While it is strictly against journalis- 1
tic ethics to publish anonymous communications,
this one is good enough 1
to warrant the overstepping of the
rules for once and ix is given to the
public as received at this office:
We, the young men of Mt. Croir
han, arc sorry to know that the gentleman
who wrote the piece in last
week's paper has been so grossly mis- '
informed. Especially so, a* that par- '
ticular piece is a reflection on the
character of the few young men of 1
Mt. Croghan, who do not indulge in ?
the spirit reviver of our friend,
the "author" of the unappreciated !
piece of last week.
We think that if the gentleman will
go into the details of the case, he will <
find that all the trouble was between
men who live several miles from Mt. ?
Croghan and of the older generation.
It seems that if the "author" of the ]
piece will take notice, he will sec that ,
he has made a great mistake in writ- ,
ing of something he knows absolutely
nothing about, of which his entire
piece from beginning to end shows
that he was drawing on his wonderful
imagination, of which he seems to be
well blessed.
The certain young man of whom he
mentions as being in such a critical
condition is no young man at all, but
a middle age man and has only one
bullet hole through his leg; his eye
isn't in deep mourning; only blacked

and is also not a citizen of Mt '
Croghan.
Judging from the facts of the
piece, the "author" is a non-prohibitionist
on the extreme, of whom the
citizens of Chesterfield County should
not be proud, neither are the young
men of Mt. Croghan.

REV. MR. PEELER
PREACHES AT ST PAULS
Rev. L. E. Peeler preached his first
sermon at St Paul's last Sunday evening.
A large congregation turned out
to greet him and all who attended
were deeply impressed with their new
minister. In a few well chosen words
Mr. Peeler stated ihat Chesterfield
had been well recommended ^o him;
that so far he had not been disap
poiniea. ne noped Chesterfield would
be as well satisfied ns he.
From the text, "The blood of Jesus
Christ His son cleanses us from all
sin," Rev. Mr. Peeler delivered a
masterly sermon. He denned sin in all
its forms; its progress and its effects
upon the soul in plain but powerful
language; n words that were simple
and direct. He made his points with
ease and illustrated his discourse
with appropriate annecd Jte md quotation.
Rev. Mr. Peeler s method of
delivery is quiet and intense and is,
withal, very pleasing.
After the services most cf the
congregation went forward to meet
their new minister and to welcome
him to his new charge.

WATCHES FOR L
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 a newspaper
liave 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 2,000 subscribers there
are now more than one thousand behind
with their subscriptions. This
money cannot mean very much to
ach subscriber, but in the aggregate
it means much to us.
Do you get the point?
Here is the best inducement we
:an offer you to be prompt (besides
the desire for a good conscience) :
The Progressive Farmer, the very
be*t farm paper in the world, will
:o*t you $1.00.
The Thrice-A-Week New York
World will cost you $1.00
The Advertiser will cost you $1.50.
Here are FIVE papers a week, each
ane the best in its line, worth $3-50.
For a limited time we are going to
jffer them all for $2.50.
To take advantage of this great
proposition only two things are necessary?to
pay for The Advertiser in
idvance and do it quickly.
Pay Mr. John P. Gurganus, our
representative, or pay at the office.
