running in northeasterly direction
to Ellisville. 10 Jones county, and a
third running southwesterly to the
Gulf and Ship Island at Bond Station,
and thence down to Napoleon, on
Pearl river, In Hancock county. This
line would be feeder TO the Mobile
and Ohio, as 1t runs into the heart Of

the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City,
now building up through that section.
1t Is understood to be backed by the
Mobile and Ohio people. Following

PECAN CULTURE.
FORTUNES ARE TO BE MADE AT THE

FORTUNES ARE TO BE MADE AT THE
BUSINESS.
Thepecan tree belongs to the hickory
family and grows we'll 10 many por.
tions Of the South, says the Dixie
Press. The best results are obtained
from rich bottom lands, we'll drained
and not subject to too much overflow.
The trees give shade and profit, and
the nut is one Of the best favored
grown. The crop never fails entirely,
and the trees are considered to be
free from disease, and to attain q
great age, continually growing more
valuable as they increase in size.
In sections Of the South tributary
to the Southern Railway, pecan cul.
ture has passed from the experiment.
al stage and is practical aud profit
able. The tree requires from ten TO
fifteen years to come into full bearing,
and for this reason is not so popular
with many; however, for one who de-
sires 10 settle down and provide a
home and sustenance for himself and
family In the years to come, q pecan
grove will be Ct much value. One
writer from South Carolina says that
he has 100 trees growing, Al Of which arc
bearing. The oldest tree is twenty
years Of aye. He estimates Its last
years production at six bushels. Each
bushel weighed forty pounds. for
which he received 20 cents o pound,
or s4S for the yield Of one tree. Pecan
trees are now cultivated In nurseries
In the South, and there is no dificulty
ia procuring trees for planting pur.
poses. Suitable land can be obtained
along the Southern Railway from S3
to q per acre. During the years the
trees are growing, the land can be
cultivated and used for other purposes.
