Nutritious Fruits.

There arc many kinds of fruit which
Of themselves are sufficient to sup
port healthy life, among which may
be mentioned the date, banana and
plantain, figs when dried, the bean of
the carob or locust tree, and the fruit
of the baobab or monkey bread tree,
which is eaten by the natives in West
Africa. All these contain sufficient
fat, sugar, starch, pecten, gum and
nitrogenous matter to support healthy
life. OF all these preference must be
given to the banana, which supplies
to many millions permanently nutri
tive food, and to the fruit of the date
palm, or Phoenix dactylifera, which
serves as an exclusive article of ali
ment in parts of North Africa, Arabia
and Persia. 'In all Fezzan," says
one authority, "the date Is the staple
food not only for men, but for camels,
horses and dogs. Nineteen-twen-
tieths of the population live on dates
alone during nine months of the
year" In the Hadji, or pilgrimages,
the price of dates at Mecca aud Me-
dina forms the first question asked be-
tween the Arab pilgrims going to and
returning from the sacred city. Cakes
of dates pounded and kneaded into u
solid mass constitute the main nutri-
ment of the caravans crossing the
Sahara. From the fresh juice of the
date wine and, also, vinegar are made,
and spirits distilled, while the stones
or seeds are roasted aud largely used
instead of coffee. e.-New York Dis

The Times is ready to

States, but we fake double pleasure in
extending welcome to Mr.. Taylor
as he comes from state in which we
have spent most of our lives, We
assure him that there never was a bet
ter, or more clever people than the
people of old Blount and those Of
Ellejoy have a. special reputation
along this line. We assure him that
any Of his neighbors who may wish to
come South will be warmly welcomed.
We see in an interview in the Journal
he states that there were twenty-five
families in his par Of Nebraska who
have decided on coming to East Tenn
essee or Georgia, and he thought there
would not be much trouble in getting
them to locate in Blount and Sewer
counties.
He knew Of some agents who had
a colony Of farmers from northwestern
Iowa ready to locate in the south, and
had heard that they had decided to
Sccate in Mississippi, but the low land
and excessive humidity OF the locality
had caused them to change their
minds and seek other sections of the
south. p &
Anyone would become thoroughly
convinced from a talk with Mr.. Taylor
that there is a good deal in the current
statements that the northern people
are hunting southern homes in good
numbers.

Totals 1900. Ia77S
1t will be seen that adding his ma
jority in Morgan, Judge Gibson's ma
jori,y over Mr.. Houk, is 3,o76. The
vote of Morgan county will make
Judge Gibson's total vote over I6, ooo
and Mr.. Houk's total over $4,000.
Gibson got about 5000 democratic
votes in the eleven counties and Houk
got about 5000. Deducting these
democratic votes Gibson's republican
vote would be IA, 900 and Houk's re-
publican vote would be 1000, thus
showing that Gibson got 1000 rc'
publican majority over Houk or in
other words, he beat Houk two to one
on the republican vote.
The figures clearly show that Glib
son was the choice Of an immense ma
jority Of the republicans, They also
show that either Mr.. Houk did not
get the 1900 votes the committe,
gave him in the primary, or else. about
one half the men who voted for hin,
in the primary failed to ,ote for him
last Tuesday week. 4 !
The truth lies between these two
statements. Mr.. Houk in fact got
only about 5000 votes in the primary
and about two thousand of these were
cast for Gibson last Tuesday week.
If Judge Gibson had had justice in
the primary his majority over Mr..
Houk would have been about 1900,

LAND GOING UP.
Blount County Mountain Lands
take a Raise on Account OF
the Result OF the Election.

1t is fact that Mountain land in
this county is now bringing a better
price than for some time and it is un-
doubtedly due to the result Of the
recent election in this State and
throughout the country. Tennessee
has been placed in the republi-
can column and the recent Congress
has been s"set dowp upon hard'' and
the people have more faith in the
party now plabced ip power. They
at least know there will be no more
playing football with the business
interests of the country. And in
this state there is general feeling
that'no more unjust tax laws can be
placed upon the Statute books while
H. Clay Evans occupies the gubna-
torial chair. A y
An evidence of the renewed conf
dence so general throughout the coun-
try is the recent sale Of the Gillespy
tract Of land inthis county which lies
along the Chilhowee Mountain on
both sides of the Little River Gap just
as you enter Miller's Cove.
This tract has considerable timber
and some iron on it but is not near
so valuable as is large part of the
mountain land found in other parts
Of the county. There is 1900
acres of it. Dr. Gillespy, the owner
| of it, died and it was sold in Chancery
for devision among the heirs. A sale
was held at the Court house door
here in Maryville and such was the
feeling Of distrust among men of
means that it brought only s2,Iso to
gentleman In Cincinnati and he let
lit go rather than let his securities
qualify. Just before the election it
came to sale again and the highest
bid was $1,000 By a West Virginia
man. The bids were shortly re-
opened, ran up to $4,000 Chancellor
Lindsay refused to confirm the sale
and kept the bids open until last
week thinking that he could do bet
ter for the heirs.
The bidding was lively and Capt.
Vandervoort, West Virginia buyer
captured the land for $o,oa5. In
an interview which was published in
Saturdays Journal, Capt Vandervoort
said that he was well pleased with his
purchase and considered the tract a
bargain even at those figures.
Without solicitation he proceeded
to say that the result Of the election
was a big factor in the transaction.
He declared that he had given S., ooc
more for the tract than he would had
the election gone the other way.
Further more he knew that other
northern investors had the same
feeling and there was no telling what
a boom would strike East Tennessee
timber lands il titles were not so bad
ly clouded.
This latter feature frightened q
good many investors easily.
