Horticultural Meeting.

A goodly number of the members Of
the Crawford County Horticultural So.
ciety attended last Saturdays meeting
of the society at Hinkle Hall. The
subjects for discussion took a wide
range and much interest was manifest.
ed by every member present. One Of
the most important subjects brought up
and thoroughly discussed was the aban.
donment Of the old time plan Of select.
ing only one house In each shipping
point for the handling of consignments.
The concensus Of opinion was that the
interests Of the members required that
this plan be abandoned, compelling
every commission firm to enter the field
as consignee, assuring the best re-
turns, The berry growers of Crawford
have lost thousands Of dollars hereto
fore by selecting one house, which had
then no competition to meet and could
send In any returns 1t pleased, which In
too many cases WAS done. II also acted
to prevent buyers from coming here
and purchasing on the track because
they knew the house selected in their
towns, by only acting rs agent, could
In every case undersell them. All so.
cieties In Crawford should abandon the
one-house plan and we believe the big.
gest part of the crop can then be sold
right here and the growers then will
not lay out money for picking, crates
and express when the market is broken
because the buyers will be kept thor
oughly posted on the condition Of the
market In their districts.

Gen. Cordon's Lecture.

Noble sentiment, mstchless eloquence
and lofty patriotism marked Gen. John
B. Gordon 8 lecture, THE Last Days
of the Confederacy, at the Baptist
church last Wednesday evening. The
little church building was crowded to
its utmost capacity by the best people
Of our city and surrounding country and
many were turned away because there
was no room to seat them. 1t is pity
there was no larger place of assemblage
to be secured in the city for this
eminent lecturer, one of the ideals OF
the Confederate veterans and one of the
two only living general officers who
went with Lee through the campaigns
of Virginia and were with him at the
surrender at Appomattox. Without
disparagement Gen. Gordon is one of
the best lecturers that 1t has been the
privilege of our people to hear. He
alternately moved them from laughter
10 tears in portraying the humorous,
though grim, side of the campaign life
and the pathetic side.
Chivalrous and generous, his words
while paying glowing tribute to the
bravery of the Confederates from pri
vate to commanding general, contained
not one word to offend the sensibility of
any former soldier Of the army of
Grant. His tribute to the character of
the latter was one of the most beautiful
we have ever heard, as was that to the
privates In the Confederate army and
the women of the South His beautiful
tribute to the lofty character Of that
matchless leader of the Southern forces,
Gen. Ropert E. Lee, called for hearty
applause from his audience, as did nu
merous of the beautiful illusions to
those who on both sides sacrificed their
all In defence of their country and what
they thought was right.
1t was a pity that through lack of
seating room so many of the old veter-
ans failed to hear Gen. Gordon. but
many took advantage while in the city
to personally call on him and recall
pleasant and sad memories of the dark
days Of the early sixties
1t is hoped General Gordon can again
be induced to lecture here.
