WHEAT IN THE SOUTH.

The Atlanta Journal tells OF the eE-
pertinent OF Mr.. Fred Oliver Of Char
lotte, N. C., ia raising wheat and cotton.
Mr. Oliver cultivated cotton on 200 aores
OF land for avO years past, raising from
throe-quArteFs Of bale 70 bale 70 the
acre. He had aftJ acres in corn, which
produced twenty-five bushels per acre.
To produce bic cotton crop Mr.. Oliver
used $40 worth Of fertilizer to the acre,
and As he could grow no other crop on
that laud in she same year be could
hardly do more than come Out even at
the present price Of cotton. By plant
ing wheat on the same land he could
raise in addition to wheat acrOp Of corn,
COW peas, Irish or sweet potatoes or pea
nutS. Anyone Of Shsss crops could be
harvested in time to pillow and SOW she
land IN wheat the same iall. Last fall
MI Oliver determined to try bis entire
ESQ acres, which had had for years been
given up to cotton and corn, in wheat.
Before his wheat crop was harvested,
but late enough To justly = prediction
concerning the yield, Mr.. Oliver wrote
. New York newspaper as follows:

It is a cra- dle in which was rocked the great Ma poleon and which she picked up in one of those secondhand shops in Paris. It is vouched for and is filled every day with great masses of flowers, so that where once the restless brain was quiet now there are the perfume and beauty of the blossoms, something that the em- peror of the French or the prisoner in St. Helena never gave thought to.
 Then in jewels you must have odd, queer rings that were made by hand and made in such way that each had a special use. There is a queer silver ring, with an uncut emerald in it, that rests in a well filled bric-a-brac table, and this is said to have been worn by one of Napoleon's numerous loves and to have been brought by him from Egypt. Another odd ring shows heavy band of gold, each end terminating in such way that there is space left so that the flesh shows between. The one end is an asp, the other a tiny lotus flower carefully enameled in white. That was one of Caesar Borgia's rings, and when you were his enemy and he invited you to dine with him he

He noticed that every shop and every wagon had on it 'Purveyor to the Prince of Wales," "Purveyor to the Queen" "Purveyor to Her Royal High ness the Princess of Wales." and after he had told everybody over there what a great country this was, where a man could own a railroad even if he could not sign his own name, then he con- cluded to freshen up the old stand. so he got sign-oh, a beautiful one, blue background with gold letters upon it, and these letters read, 'Purveyor to the General Public"-and the whole neigh borhood so enjoyed 1t that business has
