The first OF several improvements to be
inaugurated at the new Park Theatre
is the addition of gallery. Owing to
the generous patronage accorded the
theatre by the people of Portland and
vicinity, a gallery was found necessary.
The carpenters will probably have it
completed in time for the opening per-
Torrance next week when an attractive
programme will be offererd. The gallery
Will seat between four and five hundred
people. Raised seats will constitute the
next improvement.

Mr.. VIM. Owen for apples, to Mr.. J..
B. Eldrid1e for apples, and to Mrs.
lsham Hammock for pop corn, and
dwelt upon the progress and utility of
the Sunday School. The exercises
were then closed.
The success of the Entertainment
is largely due to the constant and UNI
wearying efforts of Miss Matilde and
Lydia Gustafson, and these ladies
should be appreciated for the good
work they are doing for the Sunday
School in Sequachee.

A Fruit Country.

Within radius of fifty miles a
round Chattanooga, the sandy loan
and clay sub-soil of the table-lands
offers the finest fruit growing sect

Here every variety of fruit but
the tropical fruits grow in perfection.
Curants and gooseberries flourish as
we'll as in England, and are subject

to none Of the diseases that attack
these fruits in the New England
states. All the other small fruits are
at home in these mountains, while
apples, peaches and pears come to
such beauty of growth and delight
fitness of flavor that they cannot be
surpassed.
The small fruits must have garden
cultGre, but the fruit trees require
only the renovation of the pea vine.
The Clay, or COW pea, sown every
June, the peas gathered when ripe,
and the vines left to decay on the
ground will keep the orchard in the
best condition.
No manure should be given to the
fruit tree in this sandy loan unless
perfectly decomposed, as it produces
to rank growth. Ashes from good
hard wood, half bushel to the tree,
spread as far out as the branches
reach, is the true concentrated fertll-
lzer for every variety of fruit.
On these table lands, from some
peculiar ingredient in the soil, the
colorings Of the apples and peaches
are wonderfully brilliant.
The even temperature of these
mountain lands enables the farmer to
keep his apples gathered in October
until the June OF thenex year, and
thus secure the best prices for this
purpose.
But little corn and no wheat is
grown on these lands, because apples.

pie trees on Lookout Mountain that.

will not average five bushels every
year. With apples as low as 40 cents
bushel, the thirty feet square oc-
cupied by an apple tree which grows
five bushels Of apples will tuy for
you five bushels of corn.
In these times, when money is
scarce, the mountain farmer fills his
wagon with his juicy apples, goes to
the country store at the foot of his
Gap road and exchanges his fruit for
the other necessalies of life. These
necessaries are few, because the
mountain sides grow all his wool,
mutton, pork and beef with no ex-
pense to him. His sorghum patch
has furnished his syrup; his fields,
his potatoes, t,rnips, hay, beans, ETC.,
and he need only buy sugar, coffee,

crossed. Mr. Gustafson's address
was principally devoted to read
ing from the Scriptures concerning
the First Christmas. The song
"Christmas is Here" was very well
rendered. Mr.. w. S. Pryor's ad-
dress while brief was pointed and
practicle and gave evidence of
thought and research. He touched
upon some points which should at
tract the attention of this community
and we congratulate him upon the
position he takes. The concluding
song "Christmas Bells was the best
on the program. Distribution of

BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION.
The Science of the Art Solves the MYsteI
of ATodarr Eor,oiro

The Science of the Art Solves the Mystery
of Modern Farming.
The science of irrigation solves the
mystery of modern farming. In every
section of the United States irrigation
will become practicable because of its
necessity and superior advantages,
The farmer who depends On rainfall
cannot produce as large crops nor i'm
prove the quality of his cereals or
fruits except through expensive ferti-
lizing methods. Irrigation is a ferti-
lizer of great value and of but little
cost. The successful agriculturist or
hOFticultuTist of the future will be he
who adopts systematic irrigation even
in the rainbelt sections. The irrigation
farmer is independent of droughts and
is not damaged by excessive wet sea-
sons. He has no occasion TO growl
about the weather but controls the soil,
moisture and atmospheric temperature
on his own domain.
Irrigation saves the fruit trees from
the death blight caused by drought be-
cause it furnishes moisture at the
proper time. A proper use of water by
irrigation prevents grasses and cereals
from dying and insures a permanent
measurement of annual results, The
surplus pools of stagnant water are
carried away by the irrigation bitches,
aud an artificial drainage is thereby
effected. No miasma ever spreads in
an irrigated country. The motion Of
the water destroys the poisonous effects
of decaying vegetation and the atmos-
phere is purified. The evil effects of
dF0ughts are unknown where water is
applied by artificial means to the grow
ing crops. Irrigation is natures scav.
enger and the physician of prosperity
