"OLD STATE OF PIKE" "
THE HOME OF THE STARK
BROTHERS, NURSERIES.
One of the Biggest Institutions in tho
World-Its Trade Extends to Nearly
Every Civilized Nation on Earth.

(From st. Louis Republic, Jan. Z, '95.)
One of the biggest institutions in
Louisiana is -he Stark Bros. Nurseries
and Orchards Company The trade of
this firm extends not only throughout
the United States, Canada, Germany,
France, Italy, Hungary and other for
eign countries, but it has a number Of
customers both in New Zealand and
Australia
Eighty years ago there came from
Kentucky to Pike County the late Judge
Stark, then young man fresh from
Old Hickory's New Orleans campaign.
He started the nursery and planted
the first grated orchard in the state,
having brought the scions on horse
back from Kentucky,
The business has descended from
father to son, and is now conducted by
the third generation, assisted by the
fourth. This firm has more than 1000
travelling solicitors on the road. and
employs more people in its Offices than
would be necessary to run large man
ufacturing concern. The extensive
packing houses of the company are adj
jacent to the city, connected with the
railroad by special track. From these
packing houses hundreds of carloads of
trees are shipped annually. The nur-
sery grounds embrace number OF
farms convenient to the city, and even
extend to Rockport, ILL.,, where there is
a plant of several million trees.
The popularity of the concern is tie
establishment of large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly
$4,000 acres, and more than $4,000
trees on the partnership plan. The firm
Is also interested in about as many more
trees on the cooperative arrangement.
The nurseries have been beneficial not
only to their home, but Missouri owes
no little of her prestige as fruit-grow-
ing region to the progress and work Of
development of this firm. The exhib-
its of this firm whenever made, attract
great attention, and do much to adver-
tise the state. The firm pays large
amounts for new varieties of fruit, and
conducts the largest business of the
kind in America, if not in the world.
Louisiana firms have more travelling
men upon the road for them than travel
out of any other city of the world Of
its size. This, of course, is largely due
to the large number'of men employed by
the Stark Bros. Nurseries.
A piece of nursery ground few years
ago was purchased for $4,000. 1t was
plated not long ago and sold for over
$4,000. This is but sample of re-
turn upon investment that is made by
solid. substantial Missouri town such
as Louisiana is,

Can This Be So?

Is II possible that every woman in
this part of the county intends to leave
us her hat order this fall? IL certainly
looks like 1t. Never have we done
such business. Never before haye
we had to recorder so often. Never
have our trimmers worked so hard.
There must be reason for all this big
increase. Its our new plAn-selling
rich, stylish hats at lower price than
buyers expect to pay--lower than the
small shops ask for more inferior
goods and styles. New goods, up to
the hour novelties by every express.
If you buy n 81 hat or $40 hat, give
us u call before buying. Boicc's.

estimate their individual loss anywhere
from $50 to 5000. The greatest
damage has been done to oats, barley
and grass crops.
State Zoologist Warren is preparing
bulletin which will give the loss
caused by the little pests and their
history and their movements. 1t will
be illustrated with photographs taken
in the field showing how the worm

BRYANs EARLY ROMANCE.
His Attentions TO His Wife While They
We're at School In Illinois.

There is a romance connected with
the early acquaintance Of William
Jennings Bryan with Miss Mary Baird,
now Mrs. Bryan, which has never
been published. Only few persons
know the story. One of this number
is Topeka man, who relates it.
AT the same time that Miss Baird
was a student in the Jacksonville
female college at Jacksonville, ILL.,,
young Bryan was attending the Illinois
college at the same place. After
certain hour in the af ernoon the
young ladies of the college were free
to promenade about the college
grounds, and while enjoying this rec
reation took the opportunity to "flirt :"
with the boys from the Illinois col
lege, who were invariably on hand.
1t was during these promenades
that Miss Baird attracted the atten-
tion of young Bryan, and a Irritation
was commenced. This led to an ac-
quaintance, and a meeting was arrang-
ed at the home of relative of the
young lady, in the suburbs of Jackson
vile. The first meeting was but
forerunner Of series of weekly visits
by both parties to the same place.
But the enjoyment of the young
couple was not allowed to proceed
without interruption. The matter
came to the ears of the president of
the female college, and he at once
called Miss Baird to him and ques-
toned her concerning it. She ac-
knowledged that she had been in the
habit of meeting young Bryan and as
such conduct was distinctly against
the rules Of the college, her sentence
was expulsion. She was ordered to
be in readiness to leave the college
at a certain date.
The news of Miss Baird's expulsion
reached Bryan the same day, and
without waiting to map out any plans
of procedure he fastened to the
presidents Office. Young Bryan was
even then the prize orator of the
Illinois college, and he started in to
convince the president that he had
taken the wrong course, and that the
expulsion was unmerited.
A few days prior to this event
Bryan had written the parents of
Miss Baird asking their consent to
visit the young lady. Although he
had not received reply, he presumed
on an affirmative answer, and told the
president that he had the consent of
the young lady's parents and that his
intentions were entirely honorable.
He also presumed upon the affections
of the young lady and stated that their
formal engagement was only matter
OF a few weeks.
At the end of an hour young Bryan
had the president Of the college look
ing at the matter in an entirely differ
ent light. Not only was the sentence
of expulsion repealed, but Bryan OBJ
tanned the consent to visit Miss Baird
at the college weekly
Although it was lot until after the
young couple had left their respective
colleges that their engagement was
announced, it was while at school
that they became fast friends. Both
graduated at the same time, and few
years later they were married.

NOTIFICATION OF SEwALL.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Bryan's
speech the chairman introduced the
vice presidential nominee, Arthur
Sewall, and Governor Stone presented
him with the formal nomination docu-
ment Candidate Sewall was very
heartily cheered when he stepped
forward, after he, with Silver Dick
Bland and other leaders on the stage,
had grasped Bryan's hand in congrat-
ulation. Mr.. Sewall wore a black
frockcoat buttoned about his breast
tightly. He makes no pretentions to
oratorical ability, and although his
voice might fill an ordinary hall it
was hardly equal to Madison Square
Garden, with hundreds trampling
about the floor. Mr.. Sewall said:
"You have given me official notice
Of my selection by the Democratic
national convention as its candidate
for vice president For the courteous
terms of your message and the kind
personal expressions / thank you,

convention | can more truly estimate

TO ICE CONSUMERS.

1t is a well known fact that since
the entrance on the field of competi
ton of the Butchers and Saloon
mems Ice Manufacturing company,
the public have reaped the benefit
OF a reasonable price for that nee.
essary commodity "ice." Volun-
tarily on their part they set the
pace and should be given credit for
having made the other manufac-
turers come down to q reasonable
figure.
Consumers should weigh the
fact that il the B. and s. Ice Man
ufacturing Co. withdraws from the
field for lack of support, the old
companies would again advance
the price to she old standard. It
is therefore to their interest to fur
