foes Of the strawberry. The South

foes at planting time by setting
plants in weather as cool or cold

in the late fall or in the dead of
winter. II is the rarest thing in
the world for cold weather to do
direct harm to the strawberry plant
at the South. The only indirect
harm it can do is on wet stiff soil

Recently young Frenchman of good
family. but very poor, fell In love with
u bankers daughter, and, obtaining
letter of Introduction to her father,
called on him. He found him at home,
and pleasant conversation followed.
As he talked, however, the young
man fumbled with gold coin, the only
money he possessed, and when he rose
to take leave he removed 1t from his
waistcoat pocket and put 1t, without
thinking, into his trousers pocket As
he was strolling home he looked for
the coin, but, alas, II was not to be
found, for there was a small hole in
his trousers pocket, and as soon as no
had put II IN II fell noiseessly on the
velvet carpet In the bankers drawing
room.
AS he sorely needed the money tho
young man, though much against hiA
will, resolved to go back and inquire
about IT,
"Yes," said the banker as he entered;
IL found gold coin on the carpet az
soon as you left the room, and was
not surprised, for | lost similar coin
In that very place two days ago This,
therefore, Is my money, and we will
now look for yours"
The banker smiled rs he spoke, but
the penniless young man turned his
back on him and abruptly left the

Captain f. L. Smith, of the. Atlanta,
Zouaves, appealed to Adjutapt General
Robertson Saturday for another in
specticn of his company before an order
was issued mastering the company out of
service.
He was referred to Governor Gambler by
the adjutant general, and as the governor
was out of the city, nothing could be done
in the matte~ until mis- return. The recon-
mendation OF tic military advisory board
have not yet been filed with Governor
Gambler, and the Zouaves will have plenty
Of time in which to make their protest
Captain Smitl, claims that 1t would be
unfair to muster the company out of the
service just now, as when the inspection
was made by Inspector General Obear in
November he was not in command of the
company, ard that since he assumed com
mand, nearly ell the company debts have
been paio. 16 new recruits have enlisted
and the membership of the organization
has been brought up to 81.
The recommendation in the rerort of the
inspector general aid the action of the adj
visory board in sustaining the recommen-
dalton was quite a surprise to Captain
Smith and the other members Of the or
ganization, and as soon as the news was
learned by Captain Smith, he hurried to
the Office of the adjutant general to enter
a protest.
Another inspection will be requested by
the company at once. AS Governor Can
dler has not yet passed on the report Of the
advisory board IL is possible that he will
order another inspection. The company is
one of the oldest in the service of the
state. and its record in the past will go
long way when the governor is requested
TO suspend action until another inspection
