MARION COUNTY CROPS.
The Prospect Very Flattering for Farm

The Prospect Very Flattering for Farm
ers.
Marion county farmers have fair
show to be prosperous this year as
the prospect is good for an average
crop of everything. Fall wheat is al
most too rank and it is feared II the
rainy weather does not let up much of
it will lodge. There is certain to be
an abundance Of feed for stock, hay
being very rank. Spring grown grain
never looked finer at this season OF
the year and has an even stand and
rich color and will make an average
crop if never another drop Of rain
falls.
The berry crop is in good condition
and large yield is expected of all
kinds especially strawberries.
The prospect for all vege'
tatle crops is good and the
potato growers are happy. La
all it is seldom that all conditions
have been more favorable TO farmers
in general than this season.
Sheep and other stock are In good
condition and with heavy wool clip
added to the general crop of every
thing the farmer of the Willamette
valley has but very little to complain
Of.
So far as can be learned from re
sponsibile hop men the outlook for d
good hop crop is very slim, The
yards are very uneven and many hills
are missing and many ale just begin
ming to show life while others have
grown fine. 1t is yet considered g
very poor prospect; however thes out
come may yet be satisfactory If al
vermin can be kept down. 1t is to be
hoped that by judicious spraying
quality can be grown that will make
good the shortcomings.
There is disposition among the
growers to produce fine quality
which if persisted in can not but re-
imburse the hopmen for all their eff
forts iu that line,

mingham and LaGrange, distance of about 120 miles, which should form part Of a trunk line, giving Birmingham a more direct outlet to tide water in the Atlantic seaboard at Savannah. It is part of the Macon and Birmingham railway system, for time earnestly advocated by the late Hon. John T. Milner, one of the most sa- gacious and far-seeing business men of the state. MT. Milner claimed that the com- pletion of this line would shorten the dis tance from Birmingham and points west to the Atlantic as compared with any other . existing line, more than 100 miles.
 The writer is familiar with the topogra- phy of the route, and apart from the moun- tain range immediately east of Birming- ham, no serious engineering difficulties are presented. Between Talladega and the pass through Blue mountain at Porters Gap are six miles of rough slate hills, but a grade of l per cent. is easily secured without extraordinary cost. In fact, three miles of this part of the line was surveyed a few years since, and found quite satis- factory. The remaining three miles, un- surveyed, are scarcely less practicable.
 Drectness and easier grades are the marked advantages of this proposed line in the carrying of through freights and pas sengers. But the great benefits to be reap ed by Birmingham are the valuable ores and minerals of Clay county. There IS neither coal nor lime in this county, but with these exceptions, in the extent and variety of mineral productions it surpassvs all other counties in the state. Gold, copper and iron, pyrites, graphite, barytes, man. ganese, mica, corundum tin and granite are found within her borders. Most of these minerals occur in commercial quantities. The iron ores and sulphides are practically unlimited in extent All along the proposed line are extensive forests of hard woods, while the mountain sides are clothed with chestnut oak the source of the best tan bark known to the tanner. In addition to All these sources of industrial wealth. on the water courses are thousands of horse power running to waste. all of which would be awakened to industrial activity by the construction of this line and contribute to the growth and wealth of Birmingham. AJ A great manufacturing center she should have free commercial access to the great variety of ores and natural products of Clay county, which only this proposed line of railway can give. In looking after the grand conception of an all-water line to inc gulf at Mobile, let Birmingham not overlook the minor, but still important. railway to the mines of graphite iron ores and sulphides of clay-a line midway be- tween the Georgia Pacific and Columbus and western-giving the most direct route and easiest grades of all her connections with the Atlantic seaboard.

SELMA.

Selma, Ala, December 17-(Special.)- The social as well as the news event of the week in this city, was Lieutenant Hobson's short visit here last Tuesday and the recep- ton rendered him by MT. and Mrs. B. H. Craig.
 Among those who assisted in the recep- ton were a number of Selma's prettiest girls, Misses Melvin, Fowlkes. Jones, Geenie Jones, May Elmore, of Montgomery, and others.
 An incident occurred during the reception which made one girl famous and caused her to be the envy of all the other young ladies in Selma The incident which has never be- fore been published, is a pretty one. The young lady in question is very handsome black-eyed brunette. as bright by the way, as she is sweet She asked the young hero for his autograph. Of course, he compiled readily with the request of the fair girl, but at the time remarked. you know the penalty"
 "No.'' said she with blush.
 Whereupon MT. Hobson proceeded to ex- plain his meaning and saluted her with the famous "Hobsoff kiss"
 His sister, Miss Hobson, who was present was mortified at the "fastness'' of her friv- | such kissing scenes this in which he was one of the principal actors, but she had never before realized that they were really true.
 Another amusing incident of the reception was the rage of one of Sema's debutantes on being introduced as-s'Mrs K-," a young lady who was married only short time ago.
 Selma has not been prolific in entertain ments among the social set this season, though number of small affairs have been given. However, as the holidays approach there is evidence of many brilliant func- tions that will take place. The principal of these will be the Christmas german of the Dixie club, the most exclusive social or ganization of the city, and the New Year Ball of the Dallas Dragons club a very swell annex recently inaugurated in that well known cavalry company, Troop s, Ala bama National Guard.
 On Tuesday the Young Ladies' Euchre club was entertained by Miss V. B. Atkins and afterward they went in body to the reception rendered Lieutenant Hobson.
 Tuesday night Miss Claude Melvin enter tained a few friends at euchre which was much enjoyed by the fortunate ones.
 Tn the governors party that attended the peace jubieee were three Selma young la- dies. Miss Wardie Hall now visiting in Montgomery, Miss Aimee Nelson and Mary Ella Woolsey.

CLAY COUNTY.
How the Opening of a Railroad Through That Section Would Help Birmingham.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 The magnitude and grandeur of a noun tain is better seen and realized from a distance than from it's base or summit In like manner the conditions essential to the fulfillment of the high destiny marked for your favored city are seen and realized from the romter parts of the mineral dis- trict of Alabama, even from the Canduskee hills of Clay county as clearly, perhaps, as from the fires of her furnaces and the hustle and clangor of her busy mills and workshops The early ratification of the peace treaty recently signed at Paris, it is believed, will remove the only bar to the immediate revival of an era of active in- dustries and enterprises.
 With commendable forecast and wisdom the Age-Herald is earnestly advocating and urging water communication from Bir- mingham to the gulf at Mobile by canal and slack-water navigation. By means of an all-water line of transportation to Mo- bile the coal and iron and products of the Birmingham district can be delivered at tide water at cost which will defy the competition of the world. With the con struction and completion of the Nicaragua canal, now national necessity, the prod ucts of Alabama especially, as well as the other southern states, will find ready and remuneratiye markets in the islands of the Pacific and Indian oceans and all the ports of eastern Asia
 But with this dazzling outlook of grand future and prospective wealth. now appa- rently within the grasp of Birmingham, there are in plain view some minor inter- ests which should not be neglected. Chief among these. perhaps, is the early con- struction of a link of railway between Blr-

Autau- gaps are watching with unusual interest the question Appropriations for the benefit of the commo schools of the state.

Matthewson can always be relied upon for remembering things, and is consequent ly very convenient and lovable sort of a reporter to have around. He waited now for the other reporter to proceed.
 "ONeil," the latter explained, twas the managing editor of the Times when Matthewson and myself were on the staff. He was a great, tall, handsome-looking fel- low, and had been in a newspaper office so long that it would have taken searchlight to have discovered any tender qualities in his nature"

 Adjoining Matthewson's office," the oth- CT reporter went on, twas that of O'Neil' S. Corporations or individuals who had re- ceived roast would come up to inquire about it. It was then that Matthewson showed to peculiar advantage. With an in- different motion of his hand or an inclina- tion of his head he would indicate the of- flee of the managing editor, and the par ticular individual who came up for the pur- pose of making the paper retract a col umn or two or line or two, was never known to look Matthewson in the face again. His eyes hadn't lost their fire then

 The woman who writes up the weddings shivered and the other reporters laughed Matthewson was unusually serious.
 fThat wedding had a peculiar effect upon mel he said, and lapsed into silence.
 "Matthewson was in love with the girl" said the other reporter in quiet tones.
 Matthewson turned to his desk.
