A Texas farmer has 700 acres plant

A Texas farmer has 700 acres plant

he eKrects to convert into sugar by
the newly discovered diffusion pro-
cess. Sorghum is about as easy crop
to raise IN this seRtion as any we
know Of, and is generally II certain
crop. If the machines were not so
expensive every farmer could easily
make his own sugar. but our under
standing is, the proper machinery

A committee from each Of the
County Alliances Of Carroll, Mont
goInery aud Grenada counties, will
meet in Duck Hin to-day Saturday
TO discuss the advisabllity of erect
ing tri-county Alliance cotton shed
in that village. We fail 10 see why,
with proper effnrt the shed might
not have been located here, where
there Is already compress. The
location of the shed at this point
would signify the receipt Of several
thousand bales Of cotton more than
ever came TO this market before. and
on the other hand its location in
Duck Hill simply means the loss OF
a thousand bales to Grenada; mak-
ing u difference of about. four thous-
and bales in annual receipts at this
place.

feasibility of Notwithstanding

quarterly, for an endowment fund
and contribute hcts. upon the death
of any member. Where the men,
bership reaches 200, ,0o0, as it does in
Texas, five cents from each member
would amount to the snug sum of

Counties in Georgia, Alabama and
Florida TO Compete for the Premium
From the Columbus Gao Enq,tirer.Sln
Recent advices received from the gentle
men who are now travelling in the Chatta-
hooctee valley in the interest of the great
exposition indicate that one of the inter
esting features Of the exposition will be the
sharp competition between the many
counties that will enter for the 81 900 pre-
MUM offered for the best county exhibit.
One of the most progressive Alabama
counties seems to be determined tuat the
first premium shall not be taken by Geor-
gia or Florida county. Harris, MuscCgee
and Talbot and the other Georgia counties
figuring TO enter should look to their
laurels.
Negotiations are pending for the finest
display OF fireworks ever shown in the
south. These displays will probably occur
on the nights Of Tuesday and Thursday
during the second week Of the exposition.
