THE BERRY CROP.

During the season just closed there
were 1915 quarts of strawberries
shipped from this place; about 5000
or 1000 quarts were sold here in
town-making total, say, of $4,000
quarts. Last season the crop was
little over 10000 quarts, gathered
from about thirty-fve acres. About
140 acres were bearing this year.
Compared with last season, we have
had about one-ffth of a crop. Gads-
den, We learn, had only about one
tenth of crop; so we were in better
condition than our neighbors, although
this is poor consolation. But, not
withstanding this, raising berries is a
better paying business than raising
cotton.
Of the shipments from here, Chica-
go secured largely more than one-half,
the other shipments going to St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Mem
phis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Cairo,
and other points in the order named.
The Wilson was the only berry
shipped to any large extent, but the
C.oooo,. 81 NTo,owol, haze hoo,
planted largely, and will come in next
season. Mr.. Cobel has a little patch
of Crescents-about one-fftieth of an
acre-from which he gathered about
275 quarts, which he sold at an aver
age Of fifteen cents per quart, netting
him over $40. An acre at that rate
would net $4,000. Messrs. Cade and
Loving introduced this variety here
last year, and now have the slips for
sale. Small shipments of this berry
were made, and the highest price Sc
cured.
Mr.. w. H. Algee has the Monarch,
a large sweet berry, but has not yet
fully tested it. He thinks it will
ship as well as the Others, and will be
very productive. But the Wilson will
be the leading berry for another sea-
son at least.
Many acres have been set with the
different varieties this year, and we
think over two hundred acres will be
bearing here next season. If they
should not make another failure, the
crop ought to net at least $4,000
next year.
The raspberry crop will bring lit
tie money here this year, and very
much next year. Some thirty or for
ty cases have already been shipped,
selling for eight or ten dollars per
case. 4 number of our fruit men
have started in the business, and next
year we hope to see busy times from
the opening of the strawberry season
until rasrberlies are gone, the latter
ripening Immediately after the other
is gone.
Some few of our raisers are also
starting into the blackberry business,
which we hope to see entered into
largely in another year Or two.

Gated at the capitol of our county, en-
gagged in the jewelry business, where
his acknowledged skillas workman, is

quired a reputation as worker in the
finer metals second to none. He has
recently made arr angements to pur-
chase large and elegant stock of
fashionable goods in his line, and will
occupy the commodiouS store room on
