About two weeks ago 1t was rumored that
this vessel was to be brought from the
north. but no definite step in that direction

day, the Silva carried about $500 passengers
during the day.
The steamer China sailed at o'clock for

FINE PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT.

Grand Junction, Tenn, May T.
This section has wonderful possibili :
ties. It is little remarkable, yet
true, that fruit is never killed on the
highlands adjacent. The altitude
here is 55S feet above sea level, or
about 800 feet above Memphis. 1t
is accordingly drier and cooler.
The sell appears to De broken and
sterile, but yields bountifuIly. The
strawberry crop is now on, and daily
shipments amo4nt to 900 crates, all
of which go to Chicago by fast freight.
Every afternoon at 6 o'clock the
farmers bring in their berries, which
are Immediately placed in refrigera-
tor cars, and in 80 hours they are on
the tables and lunch stands in Chicago.
The business is very profitable. Some
gro wers realize as much as $3.50 to
$500 per acre, over and above all
expenses of cultivation, picking,
freight charges and boxing, and then
the labor is neither irksome nor long
continued. Two months labor cows
ers all. Not so with cotton. The
COTTON farmer Will tell you it takes 10
months in the year to raise, gather
and ship a crop of cotton.
Some day this favored section will
be one series of splendid fruit farms
When new ideas and new devices for
horticulture obtain, they will abandon
cotton and devote their lands to that
for which nature intended them. viz:
grasses and small fruits. But many
Of the antediuvian patriarchs who
dominate here now must first be
gathered to their fathers, and their
meth DDS, traditions and policies be
forgotten. II is said to be impossible
to teach old folks new tricks, and the
average cotton farmer and negro go
along in the same old ruts year after
year, battling against nature and
natures laws in trying to raise cotton
here in competition with the Texas or
Louisiana farmer, who has two months
the advantage in the seasons for
planting and gathering, and besides
more friable and suitable soil
for the feecy staple.
The peach crop will, barring ac-
cidents, be immense in this neigh
borhood. The ffosts, cyclones and
kindred disasters have so far given
this vlcInltr a wide berth and the
trees are full of fast-maturing, luscious
peaches. Within the next month the
Shipment of peaches will begin. AL
ready small boys are besieging the
impecunlous travellers to buy their
nice cherries, and as soon as the cher
ny season is over the peaches come
in and then the black berries, rasp-
berries, apples and melons.
The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany with their usual thOughtfulness
and enterprise, provided refr1g erator
cars IN which the farmers make daily
shipments OF their fruits, aud quick
returns gladden. their hearts.
It is a little singular, aud abundant
" suggestive, that the fruit>raIsers
never make mortgages, but always
have money. On the other hand, the
cotton planter stands around with
his hands in pockets and mortgage
for supplies on record against him,

He was the first to do any terracing
in the western part of this state, and
feels amply repaid for the time and
labor expended IN throwing up the
embankments. Others would do
well to adopt the same policy that
has proven TO be so beneficial.
The expense Of running this
county would be considerably lessened
if some Of the magistrates would not
bind over to court parties against
whom there is not sufficient or no
evidence to convict, During the
last court several of the prisoners
were acquitted, one of whom the at
torney general refused to prosecute
because the State failed to make
out a case against him, and another
was acquitted by jury before leav-
ing the Jury~bOx. Those are only
few instances where prisoners after
Icing confined in jail for weeks and
months were allowed to 60 free. To
protect the interest of the county, it is
necessary that all cases be thoroughly
investigated, and that the parties
tried be given the benefit of the

Right here in sight of the Stone
wall House and on top of the gigan-
tic fort built during the war by the
Federal troops, is a strawberry and
fruit farm worth 500 per acre. A
thrifty New Yorker manned and i'm

did income, and contiguous, or near
it, lie lands which were just as fertile
and ust as valuable, but by neglect
and cotton they haye run down and
are worth all the way from one to
three dollars per acre. So much for
intelligent cultivation in other than
cotton crOps-and no disparagement
is intended, for there are cotton farm
ers. They are for the most part gen.
tlemen of the old school, intelligent,
hospitabIe, courteous and kind. But
they "are not in it, so far as pros
perity and money~making go.
Waiting for a delayed train is not
the pleasantest experience-some

the railroad. But comfortably seat

upon the green fields, which forests
and the beautiful flower gardens lying

with all the world as he contemplates
nature, her beauteous development
and spring attire. There is some
