And also the condition thst make the great factories All tha remains Is the people who will tak advantage of the opportunities and have here nt good as they are anywhere In the world This Is shown In the strides thmt have been made up to this time and It Is only now tha these people are beginning to fee their and to handle the rein! i measure nf splendid confidence ou should keep an eve on 111! and wntch It become the riches Iftml In the worM at least ou can see part of this progress made, and the will he prettj Ihely while you are looking The small boy of to da likely will have wonderful tale to tell when he grows old as father now relates to him. and It wil prove a great thing for this boy If he can take on some of the spirit of the tkmea and country In which he lives what had become of that Irishman He been to see us several time well treated, even though we coul not see our way to let him take th cup back, and he promised to com again Then we lost track of him fo several malls and naturally we wonder ed what had gone amiss Now he write to ue again, and we are delighted note that he Is the same old Sir Thorn We shall do everything we can treat him just as handsomely as have In the pact, and we expect to en Joj the festivities fully as much as Will. We are reminded that alter SI Thomas was here tbe last time he wrot several communications for the news papers In which he pronounced th acht sailing sport a foolish one, an nil hccause of some of conditions We looked to him to get over tha feeling and we are glad now to not that he has There will be a warm time when he comes over Piopln who live fcn Weat Bldorad street beyond the subway have bee town to see Chief of Police Ma son, to learn from him 4f It la tru that they made a mistake and bull their homes on a public speedwa rather than on a residence street Th chief will see what be can do for them and he promises that It will be enough Belden Hill lost seven games stralgh to Rock Island and now we amended his title by eliminating th from Grand Old Man was a time, aa the man In the poor house his story, when nobod: could hand It seven straight to Beldei Hill It Is nature's way that should grow old The baseball players will now talw seats with tha spectators until afte the finish of the football season It i a little tough, but we must ha.ve some variety COST OP ABSTRACTS. There Is one line of more than ing interest In the report made by Cir cult Clerk John Allen to the board of supervisors covering trie first four of making abstracts of title from the tract index This Is the line which shows that this was done at centa an entry this sum cover- tug the coet of all material and paying for all labor in the abstract office That cost is Just a third of the price that charged before that time for naklng abstracts. Of course this figure bv Mr.

Allen only material and labor, in It nettrtng is Included for Interest on the Investment, nothing for the expense of Imping up the Index books, and there no charge for rent. When these Items ere included It may be fouad that abstracts will be made at a cost nf an entry, and there are i who say It will run a little higher than that. Auyhow, that last figure wll not be far away from the actual COM. The members of the board nf supervisors are more convinced than ever that a good move was made when the tract Index books were started and then when they were used In the mak- tmg of abstracts Henceforth these documents will cost less money In this county The state organization of private abstract makers realties that a serious move has been made here in Macon county and It Is keeping a weather eye on us all time That organi- sation would be much delighted to see this move come to grief we are amply assured, but the man now in charge will do everything to make sure that nothing of this kind happens CU.AD HAND TO SIR THOMAS We are glad to hear from 9tr Thomas Lipton, even If it Is a challenge he sends us He wants another try to "lift' that American cup, and he writes to tell us about it The challenge is received in very proper and becoming fashion and Sir Thomas will be duly srivttad'(bat It It Is a boat race he 4t looking for he came to the right to get accommodated We are glad to hear from Sir Thom- jsjt, were Just beginning to wonder SPAPFRf From the People.
