is the most important real estate
venture made in Polk County for
many years. In dividing this
large tract of land into small
parcels to suit customers, and
thus establishing a small com
munity along the main road of
the county, between Lynn and
Columbus, these gentlemen are
putting their shoulders to the
wheel of progress and are giving
it the shove toward Columbus
that is necessary for the improve
ment of the entire County. They
deserve unbounded success for the
spirit of enterprise they have
shown in this venture, and also
the co-operation of all large land
holders in the County, who might
well follow their example if they
have at heart the interests of our
"Dear Old Polk."

ing in Superior Court at Columbus
this week, gave us another in
stance of his tender mercjr in
dealing with young culprits just
erring from the path of rectitude
illustrated in the case" of the three
boys, Ed Gilbert, Mack Gilbert
and Joe Johnson, brought before
him Monday, pleading guilty of
affray; the Judge making them
hake hands all around and be
come friends again.
These boys can only, and doubt
less will, show their aDDreciation
a. "
of the kind, fatherly hand that
has just led them back into the
right way, by cementing their
new bond of friendship and liv
ing straightforward and upright
lives.
How much brighter and better
and purer the world would be if
it had more judges like His Honor
Judge James L. Webb presiding
in its courts!
