4 Great Potato Yield.

Mrs. John f. Stephenson of the
Frierson neighborhood, sent to the
HERALD Office this week, three
sample potatoes from ten acre
patch she had cultivated this year.
The three potatoes weighed-by
actual, close weight lbs. and 8 on.
and we are told there were no small
ones in the field. Their average
weight was 3 OF. heavier than any
potatoes shipped this season from
the Ashwood station; and when any
one beats Ashwood OH raising Irish
potatoes, they beat the world. Mrs.
Stephenson, therefore, may be
called the champion. The yield per
acre was 30 bushels.

We have just completed one of the
latest improved and most perfect
mills in the Safe and are now pre-
pared to furnish you -four as white
as the drifted snow and as delicate
in aroma as the bashful violet. We
have the "Plansifter System
throughout, which is acknowledged
by all to be the best in existence to-
day. The advantages of this system
are many, but chief of these is the
rich, nutty flavor of the bread made
from this flour, the system being so
direct that the granules of the flour
remain unbrOken and the aroma is
retained. We will do a full exchange
business in both wheat and corn and
will give from "a to 81 pounds of the
sweetest, whitest flour on earth for
one bushel of No. 2 wheat.
We will take particular pains to
supply the merchant trade and So
licit their patronage. Call for our
Faerie Queen or White Carnation
when you wish the Superlative Pat
ent; Dixie Flyer and Sun Rise for
our fancy patent, and our fancy is
Liza Jane-bear these brands in
mind, for. they are the best.
We will pay the highest market
price for wheat and corn in good
condition. Get our prices before
selling. Our capacity per day is l0(
barrels of -four and 500 bushels OF
meal, so we are fully able to supply
all demands on short notice. Try II:

hay, 200 barrels of corn, 700 bushels
of wheat, 400 bushels of oats, all the

longing to Mr.. Martin and one owned

burned with all its contents, last
Sunday night, about 10 O'Clock. Mr..
Martins loss is $4,000 or more. He
had $1,000 insurance with A. B.
Rains in the Equitable of Nashville,
but this company had quit business
and re-insured all policies with
another company. 1t is thought that
the origin of the fire was purely ac-
