Ward McAllister Dead.

1t may be of interest to the readers
OF the VIDETTE to know something of
the burial Of the great New York soci-
city leader. Ward McAllister was a
Southern man by birth. and was buried
in New York last week by Bishop
Hugh Miller Thompson. OF Mississippi.
The New Orleans Picayune speaks of
the funeral as follows: Ward Meal
lister is dead now, and last Monday he
had Grace church funeral. The
press reports say the body reposed in
a casket of broadcloth, which was lit
orally buried under a mass OF floral
tributes The crowd was at times most
unruly. Attempts were made to steal
howers and even whole floral pieces,
and so great was the ciamor for good
places that the late corners crowded
right in on the heels of the mourners
and had to be forced back by the po-
lice. As the last of the family party
followed the casket up the aisle half a
hundred curiosity seekers pressed
forward eager to get into the church
along with them. Get back there. :"
yelled the policeman who was station
ed in the vestibule, but all crowded
ahead. The policeman did rot parley,
btit raising his arms began showing
right and left. In this way room was
| made in the vestibule to allow them
to close the door and to keep out the in
truders. Still the crowd stayed in the
vestibule while the sevices were con-
ducted.a and when the coffin was borne
out they had to be showed along ahead
ofsit. One woman chung to an urn and
would not move. A policeman seized
her by the arm and dragged her out in
short order The casket was then
taken to Greenwood cemetery. accom-
panied by the members of the family.
And this was the end of a man whose
word had been a social edict; whose
opinion was authority on questions o.
propiety; whose approval of young
lady's pedigree made her fortune
whose frown debarred woman from
gatherings which he called good socie-
ty. About 400 people at his funeral
acted like cattle They would not
have been there il he had been con-
suited about the details OF the last sad
rites over his remains, and had issued
the invitations.

A GOOD MOVE
To Introduce Truck Farming in Tish-
omingo County.

, TO Introduce Truck Farming In Ttsh-
omingO County.
EDITOR vIDETTE:-In yours OF last
week Farmer has called our attention
to some very important facts which
should be considered. First. we have
in the past ignored all .other crops to
the pr eference OF cotton, which must
be last in the future, as it fails to pay
cost Of production. Hence we must
look for some other crop. Corn. ex-
elusive OF everything else, is in line
with cotton; as 80 and 35 cents per
bushel win leave the bin in debt to
the producer, us the yield to the acre
Is too small. We must introduce
new system. and as Farmer" has sug-
gested trucking in small way at the
beginning. as all new enterprises must
be approached with caution.
As we have but little experience in
truck farming, which comprises the
raising of beans, peas, tomatoes, on
ions, melons, potatoes, sweet and
Irish, together with the small fruits,
viz: grapes, strawberries, raspber-
ries, cherries, plumbs. ETC., and lit
tie later on the late and early apples.
which. with proper care and culture,
can be grown in abundance.
Some may say this is whim ;but re-
fnt. 10, In ast taly he hap pIu
of Jesse Biggs, Matthew Barnett. Jas.
Ward, Arch Davis. and others. That
proves the position to beothe truth.
In connection with such an enter
prise we can raise some fine pigs on
the refuse, and these will always de-
mand a fair price. Raising poultry
for shipment is good business,
and all these things can be carried
along together and made profitable to
the farmer by proper Organization
acting together so as to ship by the
car lot or otherwise. AS soon as the
facts are known and the railroads see
that we mean business, they will at
once make rates that will enable us to
ship our produce.
We have the best outlet of any sec
tion via the E. L. V, & G. Railroad
to Chattanooga, thence direct to Gin
cinnati. Baltimore, Washington, and
New York, all with but one change,
Those shipping from Georgia have
to come by Chattanooga, our distance
is the shorter.
These things are facts to be consid-
cred. And one OF the most important
things. of all this business is-it brings

The Wild Fig Vine Binds Big Forest Trees
SWith Bands of Iron.

2WlLn banUs Oh 1FOns
From the Guiara Forest.
Woe betide the forest giant when he
Its seeds being provided with a pulp,
which is very pleasant to the taste of a
great number of birds, are carried from
tee to tree and deposited on the branch
es. Here it terminates, the leafy stem
rising upward and the roots flowing, las
it were, down the trunk until they reach
the soil. At first these aerial roots are
soft and delicate, I'with apparently no
more power for evil than so many
streams of pitch, which they resemble
in their slowly flowing motion down
ward. Here and there they branch,
especially if an obstruction is met with,
when the stream either changes its
course or divides to right and left.
Meanwhile leafy branches have been de-
veloped, (which push themselves through
the canopy above and get into the light,
where their growth is enormously accel
Grated. AS this takes place the roots
have generally reached the ground and
begun to draw sustenance from below to
strengthen the whole plant. Then comes
a wonderful development. The hitherto
soft aerial roots begin to harden and
spread wider and wider, throwing out
side branches which flow into and
amalgamate with each other until the
whole tree trunk is bound in series of
irregular living hoops.
The stranger is now ready for it's
deadly work. The forest giant like all
exogens, must have room toIincrease in
girth, and here he is bound by cords
which are stronger than iron bands.
Like an athlete, he tries to expand and
burst his letters, and if they were rigid
he might succeed. The bark
bulges between every interlaclng-bulges
out, and even tries to overlap, but the
monster has taken every precaution
against this by making its bands very
numerous and wide.
As the tree becomes weaker it leaves
begins to fall, and this gives more room
for It's foe. Soon the stranger expands
itself into great bush almost as large
as the mass of branches and foliage it
has effaoed. If we look carefully
around us we see examples of entire
obliCeration-a clusia, o" fig, standing on
it's reticulated hollow pillar, with only a
heap of brown humus at it's base to show
! what has become of the trunk which
once stood up in all its majesty on that
spot.
