The american Journal Of Foressyy
records an instance Of handsome pro-
fits received for ten acres purchased
ten years ago in Logan Valley, in Ne
braska, and planted with black wal
nuts, by Col. Van. He gave $1.25 per
acre for the land, and after IL was
handsomely covered with dense
growth Of thrifty black walnuts, ten
years old, he sold the ten acres for
$4,000. The time will certainly come
when all this timber will be wanted at
an advanced and handsome price, and
there Is nothing for which there will be
. more extensive demand than the best
large second growth selected timber.
Judging from the way In whichour ma
tive forests are disappearing the mar
ket will not be glutted.

The charge made in the last issue
of The Charlotte Prohlbitionist that
che election of Senator Palmer was
liquor victory, is absolutely untrue.
He was elected as Republican, but
is man whose personal influence is
for every moral reform, and who was
the special choice of the leading
Republican prohibtionlsts for Gov
ernor, as against Gov. Jerome in the
last Republican State convention.
