"PossUM AND PAPERS"
Introduction of a Georgia Delicacy
 Into England.

Baltimore Sun.
 If it be true, as stated in a dispatch printed in The Sun yesterday, that ar rangements have been made by which truck farmers in the South are to provide our English friends with vegetables and fruits, and If Georgia epicures can be trusted the Engishman who has never tasted "'possum and 'taters" has a heav- enly delight in store. The Maryland gour- met may boast of the incomparable oys- ters of his State the terrapin and canvas back duck, but no Georgian. native and to the manner born will admit that there is any dainty in this world equal to baked 'possum fanked by sweet potatoes.
 No doubt the Georgia truck farms which are to provide the London market with Southern deicacies will pay partic- ular attention to the 'possum industry. It is stated that the English promoters of this scheme have contracted to buy all the steers that can be raised in Southern Georgia. Possibly the beef. of the Cracker State may find ready sale abroad, but nobody in Gorgia will eat 1t when pos sum meat can be had. When our English cousins are introduced to this product of Southern forests 1t is safe to predict that no bill of fare in a flrst-class London restaurant will fail to include 'possum among it's list of dainties Probably there will be 'possum lunches or teas.
