Ihe Profit of fruit Growlnn.

The following is from the Men,
phis Appeals correspondent at Gads-
den. 1t gives some figures that
show the immense profit in fruit
culture. Gadsden, as is well known,
is a small town on the Louisville d
Nashville road felv miles above
Milan. What has been done there
can be repeated here with the
greater advantage of being nearer
Northern markets:
Gadsden claims the credit of be-
ing the first West Tennessee town
to seek Northern and Eastern mar
kets for her fruits. Some years ago
Messrs. Horim, RosemoDd and
others commenced shipping straw
berries and other fruits to 'hicagO
and Cincinnati. Each year new
men entered into the business as
they saw the money realized by the
first, until at present Gadsden ships
more fruits than any town in the
State. The railroads have given
special and favorable car load rates,
and this interest has been developed
until it is now the principal indus
try of the place. The estimate made
by the freight agent here is that
there is more money made
now on Strawberries than ever was
made on cotton at any time. The
money realized on fruits last year
is as follows: Strawberries, SGT ,8O8 /;
raspberries, 81, $50 peaches, $2l ,4S7 !;
apples, $50, 800; plums, $4,000.
This estimate was given me from
the books of the Fruit Growers
Association, by tfDsecretary. The
cotton shipped from here last season
was $500 bales, amounting to $685.
900 worth of cotton against $99, 65l, )
80 in fruit. The farmers are very
busy, and hundreds of people, men,
women and children, can be seen
every day going 10 or from the
strawberry field, but there is work
for all, and many poor tramp
stops in his peregrinatiOns and tries

ming an honest living by the sweat

ers. Up to yesterday there had
been over $1,000 worth of berries
shipped from here. The Fruit
Growers Association meets at Bells
Depot ON the 18th instant, when the
best method of securing reduced
rates for shippers from all points
will be discussed. Gadsden already
enjoys the privilege of reduced
rates, and it is believed that Other
towns can obtain the same by APP.
plying jointly. The railroad officials
have always shown disposition tC
encourage this association, and
Gadsden, at least, has every reason
to feel that she has been favored.

WOmnn-PrOcIama - Freedom

What is the right of the ballot to
women compared with her privilege
of enjoying health and happiness in

discoveries tending to promote the

human race, nothing is so intimately
connected with the health and happi-
ness of women-the centre and source
of our highest earthly enjoyments-as
the discovery of a remedy which
meets her peculiar wants, and fits her
for the enjoyment of life, and for min
istering to the happiness of those with
whom she is associated in the tender
relations of sister, wife and mother.
