William o. Forsyth, editor of For
syth's Chips of Trinidad, was visitor
in the Crystal river country the latter
part of the week. MIR. Forsyth is a
pleasing and genial gentleman, and
like Ex-president Cleveland, weighs
25O lbs. avoirdupois. He is also a
brilliant writer and lecturer, and as he
expressed himself as delighted with the
country, we hope to see him here again
AS he is particular friend OF Supt.
Glib this is more than possible. We
would like see him some starry night
in June and have him entertain US with
his brilliant lecture on Astronomy.

 There was handled over the tipDle at Ireenville and delivered to Steamboats louisiana sugar plantations and other rade on the Mississippi river and it's tributaries during the year 1898 over 4O,- OO tons of coal, during the year 1899 over 10000 tons, during the year 1900 over 26O,- 100 tons, and contracts have already been made for the delivery of over 300 900 tons during the year 1901.
 The coal going into this trade is en- tirely from Walker county mines, and the growth of this business as above shown is evidence of the high character of the coal, as it is in competition with the very best coal produced in Pennsylvania.
 The development of this Mississippi river trade has secured for the mines in Walker county, on the line of the South ern Railway, business sufficient to keep them in continuous operation during the summer as well as the winter months and as d result this is today one of the most prosperous coal mining districts in the United States. w.

He was born and raised in Jasper, and
 declares he is there to his earthly end. He has a comfortable home and rich farm one mile from the court house. and | he states as a fact, which was verified by the scales, that upon this farm he raised
 two bales of cotton on one acre. This
 shows something of the richness of Walk CT County farm lands.
 In 1888, when there were only four
 stores in Jasper, Mir. Kilgore started a mercantile business in the town. In 1898
 he associated with himself in this busi-
 ness his son, John Kilgore, under the firm name of J R. Kilsore x Son, and the business-that of retail family gro-
 ceries and fresh meats-has grown rap
 idly ever since, the younger Kilgore hay ing developed into d remarkably success full business man.
 MT. J. R. Kilgore gives but little at
 tention to the mercantile business, hls
 son being in direct charge of the store. but the senior is one of the busiest of
 busy men. Besides his attention to the store and the farm. he is brick mann- facturer, and has been making brick for fifteen years. He has just added to his
 brick plant modern brick-making ma
 chine, with a capacity of 10000 brick per day. Be it known that the clays around Jasper are the finest in the State for brick-making. MT. Kilgore Is also con-
 tractor and has just completed of brick
 made at his yards, the immense three
 story building of J. J. and c. D. Long. He also built and once owned the large business house of the Cranford Mercan- tile Company. Yet with all this, MT Kil- gore declares that his principal business
 and the branch in which he most delights
 is the stock business. He raises stock,
 buys stock and sells stock-horses, mules,
 cattle and hogs. and along this line he l..
 such men as J. R. Kilgore constitute a citizenship which always increases the
 progress. wealth and happiness of com l. munities.
