How 4 Nickel Can be nads to Grow.
Heading Telegram.

Some time ago the Ladies' Aid Society agreed
TO invest nickel in some kind of article and
sell il az profit and reiuvest it in something
else, and so on, 70 speculate on this capital for
two weeks and see how much each one could
make. One lady on the same evening Of the
meeting bought a cabbage with her nickel.
She carried IL home and sold half of it to her
neighbOr for q nickel She invested that in
vinegar and picked the remaining half and
sold the pickle for % cents. She then bought
20 cents worth of cloth and spool of thread
aud made il up into three aprons, which she
sold for - cents each. and took the 20 cents and
bought molasses and gave candy pulling TO
the children, making them pay 10 cents n plate
for the candy. The mOlasses made II plates Of
candy so she made $40 on one nickel in two
weeks time. How money will grow if properly
used.

"Well, would like to get something to
take" was the reply, as the caller glanced
around at the hardwood finish aud over toward

On the assembling of County court
Wednesday morning of last week, it
was announced that the only civil
case for trial was that of T.. j. Baker

ton to recover on a $50 note given
by Mr.. Jacobs toJas. Atwell of john
son. The particulars of this peculiar
case are so well known that it is net
necessary for us to3 enlarge NJ on
them, sutficing to say that Mr.. Baker
claimed that he bought the note of
Mr.. Atwell Jan. 13, 1887, paving
$50 for the same, while Mr.. Atwell af-
tirmed that he never sold the note,
but that Mr.. Baker secured it unlaw-
fully, The case took up three days,
Wednesday and Thursday being de-
voted to the examining of witnesses
and arguments by the minor counsel,
and Friday to the concluding argu-
ments. The attorneys in the case

The arguments by Powers aud Boyn-
ton were well made and the manner
in which these young attorneys pre-
| scented their respective cases to the
Jury commanded the close attention
of the older members of the bar.
Concerning the arguments of Col.
Sawyer and Mr.. Gleed it is acknOWl-
edged that they exceeded their usual
ability and that their efforts were
mastery and eloquent. Both of
these latter gentlemen devoted two
hours to their arguments. The case
went to the jury Friday afternoon
and in an hour and half they re-
turned stating they could not agree.
They were instructed by the Judge to
give the case further consideration.
Saturday morning at the opening of
court they came in still disagreed.
The Judge urged them to give the
case still further deliberatiana and they
again retiredx ~-14a@s-s---7srxt time they
came in they announced q verdict for
the plaintiff. 1t is said the jury stood
for a long time 8 to 4 in favor of
Baker. That they agreed at all is a
surprise to many. The Deft. took
exceptions and by request of Plff.
| bail was fixed at 500.
The new docket was called Satur-
day morning and it was found that
there were 40 court and eight divorce
cases thereon.

A Doubtful Experiment.

A unique enterprise in way of CO.
operative farming is to be begun ear
Fly next summer in Cullman county,
Alab ANA. Twenty-Five families,
mostly from the North, have pur-
chased 5000 acres of choice land, or
ganized a joint stock company cap
italiz9d with 100000, the shares
limited to 200, valued at ST, 900
each. These shares are to be divided
among the originators and sub
scribers, but no one person is per-
mitted to own more than a single
share. The labor requisite for the
tillage of this tract is to be perform
ed by each family, at stipulated
wages equitably apportioned, and
the profits, if any, will go into divi-
dends. 1t is evident that this
scheme, while in part an application
Of the socialistic principle, exhibits
notable points of difference. 1t would
not be impossible perhaps to select
twenty-five families who could be per-
suaded to live in harmony upon a
basis of equality. But a wider appli-
cation would develop chickering's,
breed selfishness and end in final
wreck. Nor is it at all certain that
even twenty-five families can dwell
together in harmony upon this basis,
unless every individual interest is
subOrdinated to the one aim of win
ming large dividends.
