Along the Chickamauxa.

'Now, Mr.. Conductor" said a snap
pish.looking old lady as che boarded the
eleeping car at Chattanooga, "I want
you to tell me the names of all the
places OF interest we pass on the way to
Atlanta, for this, 1 believe, is the road
along which Sherman marched" says q
writer in the Atlanta Journal.
"Yes'm," replied Mr.. j. B. Jackson,
the conductor, as he cast his eyes on the
two pretty girls with the old lady.
"Jane," said the old lady to one of the
girls, "you get piece of paper now and
take down the names the gentleman tells
you"
eyes, ma," replied the girl, with a
smile that made the conductors heart
ache.
"What stream is that ?" asked the old
lady, as the train passed ever trestle.
That's Chickamauga creek" replied
the conductor.
"Take that down, Jane"
A half mile furteer another stream was
crossed.
"What stream is that?" again asked
the old lady.
"Chickamauga creek, "replied the con-
ductor.
''Take that down, Jane"
/"What stream is that?" interrogated
the old lady.
"Chickamauga"
The old lady began to look suspicious,
and said:
"Take that down, Jane"
"What stream is that one yonder run
ming into those woods now we are cross
ing it,"
"Take that down, Jane"
An ominous silence followed until the
same creek had been crossed four differ
ent times.
Another stream was seen babblinp
over the rocky bed.
With a timid glance at the yellow
waters the old lady asked:
"And what creek is this? ?"
"Chickamauga," came the reply in
despairing tone, and the girls looked like
they could bite the conductors head off
as the old lady said snappishly: "Take
that down, Jane"
Another creek was crossed, but the old
lady said nothing. Still another was
crossed, and she asked:
"And what stream is that?"
"Chickamauga."
"Take that down, Jane" was heard in
an almost inaudible voice.
Two more streams were passed. but
the old lady was silent.
Suddenly her face Frightened with
new hope as the train pulled up at little
station.
"What place is this ?" she asked con-
fidently.
"Chickamauga," came the monotonous
reply.
''Jane, throw that paper out of the
window. That horrid-"
"Hold on, madam % exclaimed the
conductor. and to save his scalp he had
to explain that the State road crossed
creek fourteen times be-
fore reaching the station of the same
name.
1t took the old lady some time to re-.
cover her spirits, but she did after
while, and the smile and the sweet words
,he and her daughters gave the con-
iuctor on leaving him in Atlanta cheered
aim for many miles along his way.

The Magnitude OF the Orang'
Market.


There is little Stacking off in the
demand for our oranges at the East |
The reason for this is something that is |
worthy of attention on our part. 1t is
stated that the Eastern market is glutted
with Mediterranean fruit. But the re-
port goes on to say that in week the
arrivals of oranges from Europe amount
to as much as the entire crop of Cali
fornia. These arrivals from the shores
of the Mediterranean are rather early to
come in such volumes as these. The
Florida crop is not quite out of the way
yet, as shipments from that State con-
tinue to come north until into March.
The total Florida crop this year was not
large, and our crop was supposed to have
q prospect of meeting an exceptionally
good market at the East.
1t looks as if the early arrival of
European oranges and in such un.
precedented volume has meaning in it.
The growers of Italy, Sicily and other
portions of Europe are by no means
ignorant of the great activity that is
going on in California in the matter of
orange growing. They may have taken
concerted action to dump enormous
quantities of fruit on the country this
year in order to break the market, hurt
buyers of California fruit and discourage
the industry in this State. OF course the
great area of the Middle States along the
valley of the Mississippi is pretty nearly
as close to us as to New York, and the
expen. es of shipping across the ocean,
and then across half the continent, with
the tariff added, will enable us to con.
tend for the markets of these Midland
States.
But there are two obvious reflections
growing out of these enormous imports
of Mediterranean oranges. One is that
the duty on citrus fruits should
not be removed. The industry is an in.
FAINT one in every sense of the word. II
is merely in it's inception. 1t has been
attended with many drawbacks, and ie
still in some respects in its experimental
stages. Therefore we have right to de.
mand for it some small measure of en-.
couragement. The Importance of this
industry to the State is incalculable, and
it is as important to the States that buy
oranges as it is to those that produce
them. We want home supply if we
can have it, and we can if the industry is
not nipped in the bud in California.
The other observation, in view of these
large imports at New York, is the mag.
nitude of the market for oranges. II
the country can, as is expected, absorb
in week or two as many oranges as the
entire crop of California, what will sup
ply its markets for the entire season i!
Thirty thousand carloads. of fruit
Nine million boxes of oranges And all
to be consumed in a couple of weeks
1t will take California long time to pro-
duce enough to supply these markets.
It really looks as if there was future of
some promise for this industry in this
section, the only one in the Union well
adapted to the culture of citrus fruits.
