EVANS PHASES MONTREAL.

Providence, June F.-Providence shut
out Montreal today in game that was
close and exciting, although the home
team scored all its runs in the first three
innings. Timely hitting and daring base
running produced the scoring with two
men out in each instance. Evans pitched
great ball, shutting out Montreal with
two hits and striking out II batsmen.
The only misplay that cut any figure in
the game was when a hit got away from
George BannOn in the second inning

A Pathetic Scene.

What an inspired act it was for Mrs.
John A. Logan, mother of Che young
officer who was killed in the Philip
pines, to go straight to the White
House and pour out her grief at the
feet of the President himself. The dis
patches describe the scene as very at
fecting When President Mckinley
was told that Mrs. Logan was waiting
to see him he Immediately left the
cabinet meeting and met her in his Of
flee with outstretched hand. AS she
grasped the Presidents hand she burst
into flood of tears. The President
stood for fully a minute with bowed
head and misty eyes gazing at the
floor. Then he said some words of
comfort and the discons0late mother
departed. How keen was the woman's
instinct in Mrs Logan that prompted
her to show to the President the full
violence of mothers first grief for
her son? 1t was sight far different
from any that the President saw on his
exultant Western trip last month.

Productive Southern Farms.

A great many people when they see
so much land advertised in the South
so cheaply reason that the land is not
desirable, reproductive, etc., and for
that reason the holders are anxious to
dispose of it at any price. This is not
the case at all. Southern lands are
generally held in large tracts, too large
for profitable working. and there is a
tendency to divide up these large hold
ings and thus intensity the farming OF
the land. Again. the holders of many
tracts have to sell in order to settle up
estates; others, not understanding di
yersified production, have run behind
through a series of years and must sell
some of their land, and SO on. These
lands have in the past produced good
crops and will do so again. What is
needed is energy and intelligent mali
agement for few years, and the own
er will find himself in possession of d
farm worth several times more than
he paid for it, in the meantime realiz-
ing in crops good return for his labor
and investment. The South is great
agricultural country, It is said that
in Georgia three out Of every four dol
lars in bank deposits belong to the
farmer. There are to be found many
as fine farms as can be seen in any
section of the Union, and when the
mild climate, long growing season and
of.pure Water are taken in
to consideration the South easily holds
the palm as the ideal section for the
farmer, whether he raises grain, cot
ton, tobacco, fruit, truck or stock.
The Piedmont region is the equal Of
any country in the world. 1t has great
natural resources. large end growing

ton cillties.-Southern Farm Maya
