Not Such a Crank After All.
From the NarSAaIl0ille (Ga.j Times.

TFOHS Nto At6ToftNSCCtteo NUOsJ AtMc6s
Twenty years ago nearly every body in
Macon and Houston counties regarded
Mr.. s. Fl. Rumph as a crank upon the
fruit question. They argued that there
was no demand for fruits and trees grown
in the South; that the Yankee had already
monopoly upon that business. Also
that but few varieties could be grown
here; that the growing of apples and
raspberries especially, was an exploded
idea, and that nobody but a Northern
man could successfully conduct a nur-
sery. These and thousand other Objec-
tions were urged by every one, and it was
with great difficulty that MIR. Rumph,
then quite young man and with limited
means, could get piece of land upon
which to lay the foundation for an i'm
mense business, and out of which ne Is
to-day making a fortune. Nothing
daunted, however, he established his fruit
farm and nursery known to-day in every
State and market in the United States.
He gets the first red raspberries every
season into Jacksonville, Savan-
nah, New York and Boston,
and he realizes fully 80 cents
per quart for the yield from a five-acre
patch. He has propagated a variety OF
peach believed to be the finest, in every
particular, grown in the South, IL not IN
America, which he christened the sEl-
berta," in honor Of her who, in his young
manhood, plighted her love and fate with
his, and rejOices with him in prosperity
and sympathizes in adversely, as only a
devoted and loving wife can do. He
has large number of the Elbertas, and
last season the crop paid him an average
of IL cents per peach in New York and
Boston, He ships carloads of peaches or
other varieties every season that pay
satisfactory prices, and he yearly in
oreases his acreage, which already num-
bers several hundred. Apples are grown
to perfection, and every week in the
year he ILLS orders for this delight

cola, last Friday, Jefferson Larramore
was seriously wounded by Thomas Shelby.
Larramore stated that on Friday morn
ing he went to the home OF Mr.. Howard at
Three Brothers with gun, intending TO
go out with Mr.. Howard. While there
Thomas Shelby came to the house and
called to him and asked him to walk with
him piece from the house, rs he had
something to say to him. Larramore put
his gun down and walked out about
hundred yards from the house. During
the conversation Shelby proposed to pay
Larramore sum of money for deaden-
ing some timber in dispute between
the two men. LarramOre replied That
he did not wish anything for deaden ing
the timber; that he mad bought and paid
for the timber and would cut 1t il he lived.
Shelby then said: ''W ell, We'll settle this
thing now" and with that pulled out a
pistol and fred at Larramore, the ball en-
tering his head near the right temple
Larramore staggered, and as he did
Shelby fired the second shot, the ball
blowing through the flesh of the left
shoulder. LarramOIe then fell, and as he
fell Shelby fired the third time, the ball
entering thele ear ranging downward.
Larramore is In hospital at Apalachl-
cola.

A Demand for Women.
From the chicago Mat.

The demand for women in the Northwest is
only exceeded by tho demand for rain, Out
In wagon Wheel, Idaho, recently, couple OF
old maids were called to attend a dying
brother. The brother died, but before the
girls could get away the whole male popua-
ton was after them, including the Mayor,
Justice OF the Peace and other notables. EX-
citement ran high, and bids were six to one
on the Mayor ct al. In six DAYS after their
arrival the battle was over and the girls both
engaged. The Mayor had been cut out by
strapping young miner of 80. The weddings
were set and the mother sent for, In order
that proper eclat might be given. The mother
arrived in due season, and at once sailed into
the girls for their diarespect of their late
brother and their immoderate haste.
She declared the marriages off, and an
nounced her intention of taking her daughters
home with her. In despair a mass meeting
committee to wait on the mother and per
suade her to reconsider the former motion.
Like all good Mayors, Chcagos included,
this gentleman waited upon the irate mother.
DE called her attention TO the great need Of
Wagon Wheel, ana in the name OF patriotism
1mplored her not to inflict such a crushing
blow on the hopes of the town. The mother
was obdurate, and declared that she would
not depart without her daughters. On this
hint the Mayor spoke. He at once proposed
compromise. The mother need not depart
at all. She was fair, fat and 80 odd. SO was
he. They would pool their Issues. And they
did. The three women are now concocting
excuses by which all their belated female
friends and relatives East can'b brought 10

A WONDERFUL MAN.
More Than a Millionaire, But as
"Plain as an Old Shoe"

From tAs Athens (Gd.) Bdnner- Wdtchmdn.
"Who is the richest man in Athens|'
we yesterday asked Of gentleman who is
posted on such matters.
Ferdinand Phinizy, by big major
ity," was the reply.
els he worth half a millIon@
Nearer two millions. Ten years ago
he had 100000 in stocks and bonds, be-
sides his other vast possessions, and his
wealth is accommodating very fast. His
income now know to be $4,000 month,
and as Mir. Phinizy lives plain lite for a
man Of his wealth, he does not begin to
spend 1t. Besides, he is one of the best
business men in Georgia, and makes 8
great deal by trading. A short time
since, on an investment of $4,000 he
doubled his money in less than a year."
"How does he invest his surplus cash r'
cpl venture the assertion that he has
now arranged in his mind where he shall
place every dollar for the next six months.
He never let's his money lay idle, but has
always place ready to hand to place it.
Mr.. Phinizy has the most wonderful
financial brain of any man | ever knew.
Why, he will work hundred hands and
never keep memorandum book. He
will let them have change as they
need it, and at the end of the
month, when he comes to settle, tell
each man exactly what he was paid and
when he got it. He never forgets any
thing, and if he owes you a nickel in set
Element will remember 1t and pay 1t to
you. Mr.. Phinizy is very plain in his
habits, and if the poorest man in Georgia
should come to his home he will treat him
with just as much courtesy and honor as
he would the President of the United
States. He makes no distinction in per-
| sons. One man to him is just as
good as another, so he is honest
and truthful. Mr.. Phinizy, too, Is a
charitable man, but he never makes a
display of his gifts. What he does is in
quiet, unOstentatious manner. He is a
man of great determination, and will not
put his money into anything unless he is
given controlling voice. If it was not
for him the Northeastern railroad would
never have been built. 1t was his money
and influence that made this road sue.
cess. Mr.. Phinizy is certainly wonder
full man, and some day, when the spirit
moves him he will, with his vast wealth
leave in some great enterprise a lasting
monument to his memory in Athens"
