THERE is very superior dramatic talent in Birmingham, as was evidenced by the superb amateur theatricals given last sea- son. It would be pity if our amateurs should allow their talents 10 fall into in- nocuous desuetude. They should form a dramatic club and encourage the develop ment of this most rare and delightful gift. The club could not only devote itself to giving dramatic performances, but might extend its usefulness by embracing the study of the drama in its higher develop ment, and discussing it's aims and achieve- ments. There will be a number of very superior attractions at the opera house this season and these could be studied to advan- tage. The formation of such a club would not only result in affordiug much pleasure to the members aud the public, but might be the means of developing the talent of an embryonic Booth.

THE passing of the Count of Paris, head of the house ot Bourbon Orleans, diminishes the pretenders to the throne Of France. He was on McClellan's B staff dur ing the war, and again visited America. He was implicated with Bouianger in his futile attempt to overthrow the French republic. He was born and bred in exile. His fortune and pretensions fall to his son, tbe Duke of Orleans. The Count of Paris was expelled from Paris ten years ago as pretender. His son will hardly attempt to restore the royal line, although he is more daring than his father.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
What One Farmer In Union County
ig Accomplishing.

What One Farmer in Union County
~ Accomplishing.
There is one farmer in this county
who has an abundance Of faith in its
possibilities for fruit production. II
ordinary luck follow his efforts he
will prove in the course OF a couple OF
years that Union county as a fruit
country is better than the average.
That farmer is Martin Rust. He has
planted on his farm an orchard which
Is rapidly growing and will SOC COM
pete with the more favored eastern
ones. He cas- 800 apple trees, 400 to
500 currant bushes, LAT cherry trees,
IS to 80 tame plums, $50 gooseberries,
500 grape vines, some Of which cost
him u so per reot, and other varieties,
such as mulberry, blueberry, etc.
They are all in good condition, the
trees being set out in their second
year, and are now four years old. Mr..
Rust expects when next fall comes
around to have a good sized fruit crop
and hopes to furnish a supply for the
market.
Besides attending to this orchard,
Mr.. Rust during the past year ratsed
thirty acres OF broom corn, which re-
suited in the production Of 1000 dozen
OF brooms, which he made and will
make on his farm. For these brooms
he finds ready sale at So per dozen.
He figures as the cost OF raw material
and manufacture of each dozen at
$1.45, netting So cents, or $3.50 off the
thirty acres, an average OF about $40
net per acre.
When it is considered that the or
chard and broom corn were cared for
along with his regular farming on his
quarter section, it will be observed
that Mr.. Rust has been kept busy with
his chosen pursuit. Mr.. Rust, in
speaking Of the matter, said: II be-
lieve in these side issues. Too much
dependence on one crop merits failure.
A variety of resources is the kind OF
crops to have. Then when one fails
another will succeed, and when the
year rolls around you have something
to make you feel a il your labor was
Daid for"

another word, the stranger moved mp
to the flour stand, grabbed y sack and
passed out Of the door. The grocer
ran fOf . policeman and secured
Thomas In the meantime the stran-
ger reached HIS home, his wife ripped
open the sack and the three children
were found eating the dough she was

A Novel Entertainment Held Or
Tuesday Evening.
Monday evening some two hun.
dred Of our citizens received an in.
vitation which at first had the ap.
pearance Of coming from som,
"white c"p" society. Skull and
cross bones greeted their eyes and
under the caption "Ghost Party" il
was a relief to read "At the resi-.
dence OF Mr.. amid Mrs. Michael
Hoffman, Tuesday evening, Janu-
airy %, 1894" On The inner fold
were the following lines Of poetry:
Your presence is wanted,
Il you don't you'll be haunted,
TO meet with a host
TO visit the ghost,
Who on Tuesday eve will appear,
With an armour and spear;
Who will tell you your doom,
On your road to the tomb.
So be SURF to be there
And, with a silent prayer,
Hope that all may go right
With you on Tuesday night.
A large number responded to the
invitation, the purpose of the party
being for the benefit ofthe Congre-
gational church. A sum something
like SIS was realized.
