If
More Potatoes.
Mr. A. J. Canady, living about
8 miles south of town, raised a
patch of pumpkin yam potatoes
this year. Exhibiting some ex-
tra large ones in the Chronicle
office Saturday, "he aroused our
curiosity with the enormity of
their size and productiveness.
It has been said by sortie that
this has not been an over favor-
able year for potato culture, but
W? fail to find evidence of this
contention, in so far as the pro-
duction has figured. Indeed it
seems quite favorable to us from
this standpoint of view.
Mr. Canady informs us that
his patch will yield over 200
bushels of selected yams to the
lacre, besides some left for seed
^and pther purposes. From these
he will realize over $1.00 per
bushel, an acre yielding over
$200.00 worth of the tubers.
This is practically equal to four
bales of cotton. How many
acres have you seen produce
bales? Besides they are
and marketed at no
________ir cost than cotton. Then
does it pay to diversify in Free-
stone county? We say .yes, and
we have always advocated di-
versification. And by the way,
Freestone county farmers are
fast awakening to a realization of
this fact and are putting it into
practical use more and
more every year. We Bee
no reason why Freestone county
cannot be made a veritable gar-
den of varied farm products.

Teague Trades Day.
Last Monday being the first
Monday in November, was
Teague’s regular trades day,
which has been observed for
some time, and is proving a day
of no little importance to Teague
and vicinity. When first initiat-
ed it began in a small way but
has gradually gained in promi-.
nence until it now constitutes one
of our fixed monthly events.
There were hundreds of peo-
ple in town Monday, trading,
talking and discussing subjects
of general interest to the farm-
ers and stock men. People are
becoming interested from far
and near, and the event gains
prominence m it becomes better
advertised, hence greater the
crowds and better the results.
As we see it, it is indeed a good
thing for the town and the pub-
lic generally. Let us not only
help to continue the “First Mon-
day” trades day, but let us
strive to add new features and
make it better each month.

Purchased Jewelry Stock.
A deal was consumated this
week by which.-i.the. Vickers-
Siebe Jewerly Co. purchased the
entire stock of the Walter &
Hafner Jewelry Co. in this city.
The latter company opened up
in Teague some four years ago
and Dan F. Vickers, now of the
former company, took the
management of the business in
Teague. About two years Mr.
Vickers resigned his position
himself with Mr. H. B. Siebe,
general store keeper fqr the T.
& B. V. railroad, opening up the
present company which bears
the name of these two gentle-
men. "■ ~
It is well to add that this comp-
any has since its organization,;
been a prosperous enterprise in
Teague. Their business has
grown phenominally, with the
addition of the recently pur-
chased etoek they will carry one
of the largest and most varied
lines of jewelry, watches, cut-
glass, ect, in this section.
Road Improvement.
being $15,000.00. Mr. Alexan-
der holds a lease on the lower
floor of the building of seven
years duration, and it will con-
tinue, to be occupied by the firm
of Alexander Bros.
Mr. Alexander will make no
change in his residence, but will
remain in Teague as heretofore.
Mr. Moughon will not reside
here, as he purchased the build-
ing as an investment. He states
that he has kept an eye on
Teague since her birth, and her
progressive condition and prom-
ising future is what attracted
him
here.
The Commissioners recently
made arrangements to have the
Teague-Fairfield road improved.
It was decided to have the work
done by day labor under the
direetien of the court. Johnson
and Childs were awarded the
supervision of the work, which
began this week, and will con-
tinue until the road is put in a
condition which mfeets the ap-
proval of the couft.
This is a commendable venture
on the partof the commissioners
and conforms to the Freestone
county way of doing things, es-
pecially as relates to the keeping
up of her good roads. This is one
of the most important thorough-
fares in the county and travelers
will delight to learn of the im-
provement.

people of our city and country.
They will pursue the general
practice of the law in all the
courts.
