For the Democratic Advocate.

For the Democratic Advocate.
We often read of some remarkable things, appa-
rently so exaggerated that matter how credulous
we may be. we are compelled TO disbelieve, unless
convinced by proof which we cannot question. A
few days ago, while walking down Centre street in
our beautiful city my attention attracted to the
lot belonging to Mr. Henry Pool one OF our citizens
a pleasant, genial old gentleman OF about three
score and ten The lot contains one-half of an acre
and has on it his residence, a large workshop, a
small yard, chicken yard 35x50 feet. All of the
remaining ground is covered with vegetation the
immense quantity of which, well as the quality,
being carefully selected and in the finest possible
conditions astonishes one SO that he almost doubts
the evidence of his senses. 1t contains 66 bearing
peach trees which will yield this season at least 90
bushels Ill peach trees not yet bearing but planted
in rows: 9 ounce trees plum trees, an English
walnut a maple and cherry; currant bushes. 8
grape vines 40 raspberres several tehes of young
fruit containing 1905 peach trees, II ounce trees
IL currants and q gooseberries two beds of pota
toes which will yield about % bushels, and $3.50
room for full growth. Nor is this ALL There are
strawberries, corn, tomatoes, beans, peas, beecs
gues gTo%es IN
quantities to supply a large family. Mrs Pool
having taste for the beautiful, guards with jealous
care &c rose bushes lilies, honeysuekles 10 dab
las 81 eagles. mock orange, large flower bushes
and about so other Towering plants Mr.. Pool in
formed me that he has sold $50 worth of cabbage
plants Besides planting on another lot 1890 plants
obtained from this garden. This vast amount OF
vegetation is arranged skillfuly by Mr. Pool that
each plant seems TO have plenty OF room for It's full
development and the trees are SO placed that moth
ing can be dwarfed by their shade, the whole pre-
his industry and taste. All this is the work of his
own unaided hands; besides which he has made
this season and nearly disposed OF gallons o. POOLS
insect powder put in pint packages and labeled,
and new grain cradles, besides menqing q cradles
and putting hoops on numerous barrels, dc. This
statement is true in every particular, and If any OF
the readers of the ADVOCATE doubt it they have the
privilege to call upon Mr. Pool on Centre street al
jurymen where they will be courteously received
and shown over the premises, To see Is to believe

Illinois Doubtful.

The Chicago Inter Ocean does not consider
Republican success in Illinois an assured fact
but calls attention to the large floating vote
which has in the past gone to the Greenbaek,
the Labor and the Prohibition parties. This
floating vote is much more than sufficient to
turn the scale either way. The chief danger
which the Inter Ocean fears for the Republic
cans is that of failure to control the Legisla-
ture. Senator Cullom's term expires thit
year, and there is some chance of his being
succeeded by a Democrat. If this should
happen the Senate will certainly be Demo
cratic,
