The experience OF farmers living
near Chattanooga is decisive as to the
profits OF growing small fruit for ex-
portation. The Commercial publish
es some interesting statistics, giving
the amount shipped, etc, which we
copy with the remark that, without the
facllities for transportation afforded by
railroads, not pound would have left
home. Under present arrangements,
fruits are deposited in the Chattanoo
GA depot and the next morning by B
O'Clock are in Cincinnati ready for the
early markets or for immediate trans
portation to other points.
In 1888, strawberries shipped by ex-
press, 435,602 pounds.
1854, strawberries shipped by ex-
press. 459,556 pounds.
1884, tomatoes shipped by express,
200,21S pounds.
1854, grapes shipped by express 49,
733 pounds.
1854 total small fruits shipped by ex-
press, 1,u30,5lS pounds.
600 crates can be packed in II car; in
1854, "A car loads OF strawberries ship
ped OH total OF 1900 crates.
IN 1884, shipment ol strawberries
began April 25 with | crate.
May 10, greatest shipment OF season,
1,716 crates
For the week ending May 1, lS9
crates were shipped. For week end
ing May Is, 1887 For week ending
May p, 6,S2S. For week ending May
81, 2625.
In 1854 the late frosts killed the
bulk OF the strawberries, hlackberries
and peach crops. The wet weather
ruined the groves so that all the crops
were partial failure.
The prospect is that the crops for
1885 will be large. and that at least
200 car loads of fr,litswill be shipped.
The crops mature in such order
that as soon us one is gone another is
ready for shipment; so that II the fruit
train is run, Ii will in all probability
be needed the whole season.

ahs Reason why Of Adyertlalng.

My son. there's nothing on earth 70
mysteriously funny as u newspaper
advertisement. The prime first, last
and all the time object OF an advertise
ment is to draw custom. II is not,
was not, and never will be designed
! for amy other purpose. SO the mer-
chant waits tllE1he busy season comes,
and his store is so full OF custom no
can't get his hat off, and then he RASH
es TO the newspapers and puts in his
advertisement. When the dull season
gets along, and there is no trade and
he wants to sell goods so bad he can't
pay his rent, he takes out his adver-
tisement. That is son.e { f them do,
but occasionally level.headed mer-
chant puts in bigger one and scoops
all the business, while his neighb0rs
are making mortgages to pay the gas
bill.
There are times when you couldn't
stop people from buying everything
in the store il you placed cannon
behind the door, and that's the time
the advertisement is sent out on its
holy mission. 1t makes light work
for the advertisement, for a chalk
sign on the sidewalk could do all that
was needed and have Il half holiday
six days in the week, but who wants
to favor an advertisement They are
built to do hard work, and should be |
sent out in the dull days when a Gus
toner has to be knocked down with |
hard facts, and kicked insensible with
bankrupt reductions and dragged in +
with irresistible slaughter OF prices
before he will spend cent.
That's the aim and end OF an adver-
tisement, my son, and If you ever
open store don't try to get them to
come when they are already. sticking
out of the windows, but give them
your advertisement right between the
dull season, and you will wax rich and
own 4 fast horse, and perhaps be able
to smoke good cigar once or twice a
year. Write tins down where you'll
fall oyer it every day. The time TO
draw business is when you want bus
iness, and not when you have more
business than you can attend to al
ready.

A Good Woman.

Mrs. Vanderbilt, the widow OF the
aged Commodore, who has just died
in New York, was good woman,
whom the poor will miss more than
the rich. When she married the Com
modore she WAS young, some ID years
his junior, and it was perhaps natural
ly said that she w,is ambitious and
scheming He possessed great wealth
and she Was poor. Ii hers had been a
selfish and mercenary spirit she
would have endeavored to slime in SO
ciety, cut splurge, and 10 indulge ia
display Tor the qualification of her own
pride and for tile annoyance o. her ri
walls; but she did nothing of the kind.
She lived quietly and unobtrusively
engaged in good work, and 10 her IN
fiuence is to be ascribed the principle
public benefaction which her husband
ever made. The Vanderbilt Universe
w, an institution much better known
and appreciated at the South than it is
here, was founded and endowed by the
Commodore at her solicitation, and
since his death it has enjoyed her con-
slant care and benefactions. Besides
her gifts in this direction she was in
terested during all the years of her
widowhood in many private charities,
and though her means were limited,
she annually disbursed with her own
hands from $1,000 TO 5000 to needy
people whose necessities she lnvestiga-
ted.
Such life as that on the part OF one
circumstanced as she was is we'll wor-
thy of public praise. Deliberately
turning her back on the proud and
profigate society in which she might
have figured with great distinction,
she gave her attention to the strug-
Cling and worthy poor and found oc-
cupation and diversion in doing good.
Her death creates no vacancy i'll New
York society, but she will be nourDcd
by hundreds sincerely where the fash
ionable DANES will be missed by hypo-
critical dozens.

A Happy Amendment.
sd. Louis RepubIIcan.

The Pennsylvania legislature was
wrangling hopelessly the other day
over bill to offer bounties for the
killing of wildcats, wolves" etc, when
a wide awake member suddenly moved
to strike out wild" and insert "Tom."
The amendment was adopted and the
wheels of legislation were unexpected
ly set going SO smoothly that they bid
fair to run all summer. The incident
shows what important results may be
accomplished by little tact.

Regarding the right Of self defense,
a prominent judge, writing in the

LOUISVILLE OOt1iillcICiit, Sstg5
The right of self defense does not in
clude the right OF rctribution. a par
ty assaulted is Justified in using such
force to repel an assault, but no more,
and if unnecessary force is used he be-
comes the assailant. The cegree Of
force must not exceed the bounds of
defense and prevention, and this de-
pends on the circumstances 81 each
case, and the condition Of both parties
may be considered. A party in posses
sion OF property may use force suifl-
cient to protect it. Whether man
is justified in employing in the first
instance such means Of resistance as
will produce death depends on circum-
stances and the nature OF the attack,
and he may not always use deadly
weapon, and it is still further wrong if
it is concealed weapon. But il the
taking OF life is necessary it will be ex
cusable. 1t is always excusable when
in defense oil life, yet it requires a
great disparity of size and strength,
and very violent attack 10 excuse the
taking of life A party may use what
ever force is necessary 10 avert the ap-
parent danger, although IL may alter
