PROFIT IN CELERY GROWING.
A western Mans Farm Southeast of
the City.

Years ago, when the southeastern sub
urbs of the city were devoted to farms
titled by thrifty German farmers, celery
was cultivated with great success, and
shipped in large quantities to northern
markets The farms have in many in
stances been divided into town lots, and
the farmers sons in many cases are now
merchants. and some of them have re-
turned to the fatherland to live on the
profits made on the sale of the old farms
Potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes are
the popular crops of farmers of to-day,
and celery is not considered a leading
profit crop This seems, however Mr..
McCauley. of Toledo, o., who came here
last summer and rented the Quint farm,
comprising about twenty acres, has plant
ed two acres of it in celery, having put in
about 10000 plants.
The plants are growing finely. and the
prospect is that the enterprising farmer
will realize enough out of his celery alone
to pay all expenses and leave handsome
profit

HERO IN LIFE BRAVE AT DEATH.
Pathetic story of the Last Hours of
Conductor Hal Law

Conductor Hal Law.
There is a story in the death of Con-
ductor Henry NJ. Law-Hal Law as he was
Familiarity known to his friends in Savan-
nah-that shows the heroism' of the man.
Mr.. Law was conductor on the Western
Alabama Railway and was fatally injured
In the catastrophe at Cupahatchie Creek
caught between the timbeFs of the wreck
ed train and crushed.
The accident occurred in the afternoon.
1t was O'Clock at night when the injured
man reached the Montgomery hospital
The doctors saw that he could not live.
Law knew 1T and his first thought was OF
his wife. He begged the physicians not
TO give him aneasthetics; he wanted to
know her when she came to him as he
knew she would
But you cannot stand the pain,' the
doctor said.
20, yes, l can" the injured man replied.
His body was bruised and torn, and suf-
fering torture at every breath, he turned
to a companion and asked him to telegraph
his wife in Atlanta. His friend hestat-
ed moment, not knowing what to say.
Get pencil and write" said the dying
man, and in moment he dictated the
message: Am injured. Come to me-"
The next train brought the loving wife.
With the fortitude of a hero he begged
her to be calm, and as she lay by his
side, her hand in his dying embrace
he told her. in broken sentences, the
story of the accident. Loving as they
had been in life so they were when death
came to separate them. Clasping closer
the hand of her husband, the brave wo-
man watched through the silent hours by
his side until the end came. Then taking
his books and tickets she made up his re-
port and forwarded it to the road with a
telegram announcing his death. Two brave
souls figured in that play of life and death.

An Ignorant Burglar Thought He
Had Made a Big Haul.

Ben Hazard, colored, who lives on Har.
ris street, was arrested by the detectives
yesterday, and $500 in Confederate money
taken from him. He has been entering
houses by means of false keys and it is
thought the money had been obtained in
this manner.
When arrested by Detective Barrett
Hazard was in the Plant system yards
He was wanted for entering a house In
York street lane, between Price and Hab-
ersham streets, where he used false key
and went straight inside when the occu-
pants were awake. He seemed perfectly
willing to risk the chances of being caught
and would not leave until a man sleeping
in the adjoining room was awakened and
went to the rescue
Hazard evidently thought the Confed-
crate money was good, and begged the Of
ficer to be rele ased. He confessed he had a
large amount of money, but did not seem
to realize its worthlessness.

MOST ANY KIND OF GRAVEL.
augusta" a General Term for the
New Paving Material.


New Paving Material.
The Commissioner of Public Works has
advertised for bids for grading, paving and
curbing Bull street from New Houston to
Twelfth street with Augusta gravel OF
some similar material
Alderman Davis, chairman of the street
and lane committee, said yesterday that
bids could be submitted for Chatham coun-
ty, Tattnall county or any other kind of
gravel. the words Augusta gravel being
merely a designation of the character of
material wanted. The only requirement
will be that the gravel shall come up to
the specifications. This will give the peo-
pie who were disappointed in their efforts
to have their gravel used on Dale avenue
by the County Commissioners a chance
with the city.
The area to be paved with gravel is 20
21S square yards. In addition to this, the
specifications require 4,4S7 square yards of
vitritied brick for cutters. The amount of
curbing required is 1880 linear feet of
straight, and 1857 linear feet of circular.
The grading is to include grading and re-
laying of sidewalks between the property
line and the curb line.
The work of paving st. Julian street,
west of the market to Bull street, and the
sections of Barnard street. east and west
of the market, with vitrihed brick will be
done by the Commissioner of Public
Works.
The question of paving Drayton street
will probably be allowed 10 go over for the
present on account of the house drainage
work as the drainage system provides for
the crossing of Drayton street in num-
Der of places.
Alderman Davis says he will not favor
any more paving on New Houston street
than that nearing completion between
Drayton and Bull streets. Two reasons
are given by the Alderman as to the con-
clusion he has reached. In the first place
he says the city has not the money witty
which to carry on the work, and there
have been several objections to the Au-
gusta gravel by property owners on New
Houston street, between Bull and Whita-
ker streets. Before retiring from the
Council. however. the Alderman says he
hopes to have New Houston street paved.

ambition that many young men have for
their physical improvement. He commend

selves mentally. This also was commended,
but the highest ambition that anyone can

of Christ, to be used of Him to lead His
fellow men to the higher life.
Mr.. Gales cited the instance of Elisha,
who would not leave Elijah until he had re-
quested a double portion of his spirit and
how by his earnestness his request was
granted. "Oh!' he said, 'let us be earnest
IN our desires TO be filled with the spirit
of Christ"
Mr.. Gales addressed his remarks almost
entirely to Christians. During the hour
