The Tomato Crop.

Last week was a good week for the
tomato growers throughout West
Tennessee. Large shipments were
made from every tomato-shipping
point, and comparatively good prices
were realized. Information from the
different shipping points shows that
a large majority of the growers sold
their tomatoes on the platform at
from As to so cents. Ten carloads
were shipped from Humboldt one
day, the greater part of which were
bought on the platform by agents of
commission houses at As cents per
crate, though in the wind-up a few
choice tomatoes brought as high as
So cents per crate. The worms have
let up on their destructive work to
some extent, and the crop looks con-
siderably better than it did the week

A CELERY CAMILLA,
The Flower Was Missing and the
Vegetable Was Made to
Serve Instead,

While speaking of the serio-comic side O
stage life recently, relates the New Yorl

story as an experience of her own:

there is an actor-and a good one-wnC
never eats celery without thinking of me. Il
was years ago when l was playing Camille
In the first scene, you will remember, the
unfortunate Almond takes a rose from Ca
mile as token of love.
We had almost reached that point when
as L glanced down, L saw that the flower
was missing from its accustomed place Oh
my breast.
What could l do? On the flower huns
the strength of the scene. However, l con
tinued my lines in an distracted fashion
and began a still hunt for that rose or a
substitute. My gaze wandered around the
stage. On the dinner table was some celery
Moving slowly toward it, L grasped the
celery and twisted the tops into a rose form
Then l began the fatefu lines:
Take this flower; the life of a camelia
is short-if held and caressed it will fade in
a morning or an evening"
Hardly able to control himself he spoke
his lines, which ran: 1t is a cold, scentless
flower. 1t is strange flower

DR.. Hartman, the Famous Gynecologist
and Inventor of Pe-ru.na Offers to
Treat Women Free During the Sum.
mer Months.

America is the land of nervous
women. The great majority of nerv-
Gus women are so because they are suf-
fering from some form of female dis
ease By far the greatest number of
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble
is so common, so prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. Inc
greatest obstacle in the way of recov-
ery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out of one hundred
are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located.
The following letter was recently
received:
