structed right away. M,
T. (Tuck)Mathews, oue of the
most extensive land owners in
Cherokee County, and a mem-
ber of the Farmers' Gin Com-
pany, has become inoculated
with the progressive spirit and
he will contribute largely in
boosting Alto to the front in
her rapid growth toward a
city.
The three buildings men-
tioned will be built on prop-
erty located near Green's tin
shop. Public spiritedness of
this sort is the right kind to
insure a thrifty commonwealth
and invaluable to any com-
munity. When men who
have the means and are will-
ing to invest, such as already
demonstrated here in the
past year, there is no need to
doubt the future growth of
Alto.

A LETTER FROM GEO. B.
TERRELL
Chicago, 111. June 6th 1914.
To the Alto Herald:
I reached this city this
morning after visiting Crystal
Spr ings,rMiss., to investigate
the condition of the tomatoes
n that State. They will ship
between 1000 and 1,500 cais
of tomatoes from Miss, and will j
compete with the East Texas,
tomatoes, as they will began 1
shipping ripe stock about the1
12th. They are loading some
"green wrapped" tomatoes
now.
Florida tomatoes 6 basket
crates are selling here at
$1.75 to $2.00 per crate, and
4 basket crates are selling for
$1.25 but the stock is not good.
I have not seen anv "fancy''
tomatoes on the market.
New potatoes are in gooH
demand at $1.40 to $1.50 per
bushel. Respectfully.
Geo. B. Tkrrei.Ii
Mi. and Mrs. H. E. Keyes
left Monday for Alto, where
they will make their home,
Mr. Keyes being the mana-
ger of the new oil mill that is
being built there. He li a s
held a like position here for
the past two years, and has
been very successful. Jack-
sonville people sincerely re-
gret the loss of Mr. and Mrs.
Keyes, and commend them
heartily to the citizenship of
our neighboring town.—Jack'
