THEY'RE FAIR ID LOOK UPON
The Smiling Fields and Groves
 of FruithurSt.
A CITY THAT'S SUI GENERIS
0rcka1dds and Arbors Take the Place of Stores and ShopS-Extraordnary Inducements
 to Prospective Settlers.

The industrial development of the south is not confined to any particular section or closely prescribed lines. The opening of mines of coal and iron has wrought a transformation that no proph- ct was far-seeing enough to foretell twenty-five years ago.. The fields of corn and cotton still have their annual cul- vation and remain the staple products. But possibilities of soil and climate have been and are being discovered that will place the south among the great fruit producing sections of the world. Rec ogniZing this fact, attention is being turned to fruit culture in districts which have been regarded as almost worthless except for timber land. Where the forest tree has grown, fallen and decayed for years unnumbered, the vineyard and orchard are being planted, and pros porous and happy homes of the fruit grower are becoming a much more at tractive feature of southern rural life than the unsightly abodes of the pro- ducer of hog and hominy.
 In dealing with this subject it is not to be assumed that all attempts at fruit growing have been entirely successful and satisfactory, but investigation will show that wherever there has been fail ure it was due to unskillful and unbusi ness-1ike methods. Complete success de- mands practical knowledge in planting, growing and picking and good business methods in packing. shipping and mar keting. When complied with, these con ditions cannot fail to bring large profits.
 It is, therefore, with great pleasure that, after laying down these general principles, we can visit a place where a bright example exists of the very high est type of organization, for the purpose of making a prosperous community based on the fruit growing industry. kx.

 One of the comparatively recent ac- sessions to the business enterprises of Birmingham, and one that gives abund- and promise of effective work in the de- velopment of Northern Alabama, is the firm of Clarke X Wheelock, located in room 203 of the Chalifoux block
 The firm combines large experience with indefatigable energy and Is capa- pablo of handling large operations suc- ceSSfuly. They have entered a field that has much need of just such push and business capacity as the firm has demonstrated in the past few months. There are capitalists with money idle who are anxious for profitable invest ment great opportunities open to the mining operator, the manufacturer and investor, and a rich agricultural domain awaiting settlement and development.
 To bring the investor to remunerative property, the homeseekef to the farm. the manufacturer to his best location, the mine operator to the richet coal and mineral lands on earth, and the lumber men to a land of unequalled forestry re- sources-such are the objects of this firm.
 There is no question as to the energy of the firm. They have entered into the business to win, and they have the de. termination and experience that insure success in whatever they undertake.

 Large land owners should correspond with this firm, as they are constantly on the lookout for desirable lands for colonization purposes, and are. prepared to handle such property successfully. They have formed desirable and advan- ageous-eonnections in business way with firms in the north and west and are in the enjoyment of every material ad- vantage that would in any way contrib. ute to the success of colonization

On the corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street is located the gentle man above named, who has been in the dry goods and furnishing business here for the past quarter of a century. This long business career has given him a large acquaintance all over this4part of the state and wherever he is known he is regarded as one of the best informed men in his line of business, a shrewd buyer and one who sells on the closest possible margins. His business has grown to such an extent as to require the services of ten clerks and a deliv- cry wagon. The store is located in one of the busiest centers of the city, and has frontage of 50 feet and a depth of 100. The stock is complete in variety, excel- lent in quality and the prices are such as to commend the establishment to the favorable considerati tion of the people.

Birmingham Iron.

The Birmingham iron has been found excellent for use in buildings Every year more and more of this iron is used in the construction of the mammoth structures in the east and west. Not only is iron serviceable for building pur- poses itself, but it lessens the cost of i'm surance. The insurance companies make a tremendous reduction in favor of buildings largely constructed of iron. The great saving effected by the owner of an iron building willbe seen by a lit tie calculation. Take the Exchange building on State street. Boston, for in- stance. It cost $4,000,000. and is insured for s, ,000O00. It is largely built of iron. and the insurance is $170 per $100, 900, and s5000 for the $3O00. 900, GOO. If it were not fire proof the insurance would cost s per $1000 or $45,0O0. for the 8, ,000, 900 val uation. So there is a saving of $40. 900 on insurance in favor of the iron building.

Professor Homer Fuller, of Drury col

singular proposition from a wealthy
Massachusetts man, whose identity he
would not disclose. The man offers
Drury large sum of money if he will
verify the'truth of war incident which
is alleged to have taken place in Mis-

nounces that the college will accept the
offer and requests students to help HIM
secure positive evidence if such thing
really did occur.
The story is that in the early part of
the war a detachment of Confederate
troops in Missouri took about 1000 Union
prisoners. Twelve of these prisoners
were lined up and shot without provoca-
tion by the Confederate officers. Upon
hearing of this act the commander of the
federal regiment drafted II Confederate
prisoners to be shot in retaliation. AS
the line was being formed young man
named William Lear, stepped forward
and asked permission to take the place
of one of the condemned men, who was
his friend. The request was granted,
and Lear was shot ih place of his friend.
