ABOUT RECIPROCITY.

The President to Issue an Interesting
Proclamation in the Near Future.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-State depart
ment officials say that the cable dis
patch from Paris asserting that treaty
of commerce has been concluded be-
tween Germany and the United States
by which the latter country exempts
German beet sugar from duty and
Germany gives the United States the
favored nation benefit in regard to i'm
portations from the United States into
that country is substantially true and
that France, which also produces con-
siderable quantity of beet sugar, will
soon follow in the same line. 1t is
technically incorrect to say that a
treaty has been concluded. That
would require concurrence by
the senate. What has been accom-
plished is an agreement under the reci-
proclty clause of the Mckinley bill. On
the lst of January next the president, it
is believed, will issue most interesting
proclamation as to the reciprocal duties
RENTED under the reciprocity arrange
ments thus far entered into. The COM
m1ssloners from the West Indies have
received assurances from Secretary
Blaine that the president will on that
day issue his proclamation in regard to
the products in which they are inter-
ested. Commissioners from Jamaica
are hourly expected here to perfect an
arrangement similar to that of Brazil.

RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the
HOmeseeker.
Rich Lands at Low Figures-Early
Crops at Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana,
and another in Mississippi, on the
line of the Illinois Central r. r. but
few years ago had absolutely no
commercial Importance, and from
them not dollars worth of produce
was sold to distant market. This
season, however, it has required from
one Of them, an entire fruit fefrigera-
tor car every day for six weeks to
transport its early Crops to the North
ern markets, while from ten to twen-
ty car loads per day of vegetables
were shipped during the season fro m
the other. This is but single illu s.
tration, and by no means the mos
forcible one that could be presented
of the rapid development Of certain,
sections of the South, in a profitable
agricultural section. There are many
localities in that direction, particul-
arly in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. on or near the line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, that, al
though, as yet undeveloped, are cap
able of easy cultivation, and will grow
the finest kind of fruit and vegetables.
Lands well adapted to growing early
strawberries and grapes, of quality to
bring fancy prices in the market, can
be obtained there very cheap-in some
instances as low as 81 per acre. The
availability of the Illinois Central fast
fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds
but final weight to the security of it's
being profitable enterprise to engage
in the development of these lands.
For information as to locality, topog-
raphy of the country, character of the
soil and products to which it is espec-
tally adapted, prices and kindred mat
tiers, as well as for pamphlets on the
subject, address at Manchester, Iowa,

Nearly every pattern of "a Horse

looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't tile aOayp threads, and
SO lacks strength, and while it sells

The fact that M Horse Blankets

that they are THE STANDARD.

About 5 o'clock William Cole, an architect,
entered the cage of the elevator and asked

TERRELL, Ten. April 1.-THE session of

was adopted which prevented all stock
from the limits of the fire district, but per-
United milk cattle and work stock to run
out in any other part of the city, except
such as are breachy and dangerous. A
great many were disappointed, because
they expected a wholesale turning out Of

meet with pretty general approval since
the matter has been discussed. This has
been a great bone of contention, and has
created some bitter speech.
