SOUTHERN NEGRO COLONIES.
One That is Successful and Another That is
Just Beginning.
Chicago Record Herald.)

A movement is on foot among the col
ored people of Atlanta, Ca, to establish
colony of their own race, in which no
white people may participate or intrude-
They have selected a tract of 1000
acres of land, about seven miles from
that city, upon which they hope to
place 500 or more families, to be incor-
porated into an association and to be
governed by board of trustees. There
is good deal of doubt about the prac-
ticability of the project, although a
similar colony, called Mound Bayou, in
the Yazoo delta of the Mississippi River,
has been reasonably successful. The
result will depend largely upon its man.
agement. If the projectors can get a
clear headed, cool -tempered, energetic
man of executive ability, like Booker
Washington or Isaac T. Montgomery,
who has managed the Mississippi colo
ny, they will get on all right, but lead
ership is everything. Montgomery is
remarkable man, as remarkable in
some respects as Booker Washington.
He was once a slave of Jefferson Davis,
is self educated, and has strong natur-
al abilities. He commands the respect
of everybody, and unlimited confidence
both in his integrity and ability.
The land for Montgomery's colony
was furnished by the Illinois Central
Railroad, and the town of Mound Bayou
was laid out in 1888. About thirty
families settled there, clearing seventy
five acres and building cabins for them
selves the first year. In the meantime
Oh nv
railroad ties, barrel slaves and stave
bolt until the first crop was ready to
harvest. The first patch of corn plant
ed was eaten by the bears and rae
coons: deer were plentiful, and became
nuisance because they acquired an
appetite for the tender shoots of the
sugar cane. Wolves, wildcats ana
panthers were also neighborly, and the
opportunities for shooting wild game
would have been enjoyed by the Vice
President.
Notwithstanding all these difficulties,
the people prospered; the town grew,
and there are now about 1900 settlers,
with $1,000 acres of land under cultiva-
ton in corn, cotton, sugar and garden
truck. The original log huts have been
replaced by neat and comfortable dwell
ing houses. The railway station is one
of the best on the line, and has furnish
ed an architectural model to be initial
ed by the citizens. There are five GEN
eral supply stores, which are said to be
prosperous, and the community has
thus far been without the experience of
crime. There are no police, except the
regular town constable, and the arrests
/ thus far have been confined to petty
thieves. The people pay their taxes
promptly, every family in town is self
supporting, new settlers are coming in
gradually and the area of cultivation
is increasing.
Last year. 1 am told, the receipts OF
the railroad company for out bound
freight were 1000.

Eggshells may be used to advantage
in starting delicate plants for trans
planting. The half shells are filed
with earth and set in box also con-
tanning dampened earth. \ hole is
made in the point of the shell to allow
drainage. \ single seed is then plant
ed in each shell, which is easily broken
when transplanting is done without the
slightest disturbance of roots. This
use of eggshells is the discovery of a
French gardener, who claims that they
are vastly superior to the little pots
generally used for the purpose by flor
lists.

Nnfn NJ Food.

Nuts contain n large amount Of nour-
ishment, and owing to their oily nature
digest easily. Eaten with salt they are
palatable. Either as dessert course
or sailed and used as a relish their
value is the same. They are not ex-
pensive, for from the peanut through
the imported varieties they can be
bought in bulk at small cost.
The peanut has many good qualities
TO recommend 1t, and from its low estate
is coming to the front as an important
item in dietetics. 1t is supposed to cure
insomnia if eaten just before retiring.
Sailed, they are much cheaper than al
monds. The small hickory nut, at a
few cents Il quart, can be used ON the
most economical table. The English
walnut makes n very good salad
bianched and used with celery Fill
berts, almonds and Brazil nuts are
more expensive, but as only few are
needed at a time the cost is not great
