 Saturdays Age-Herald contained a write-up of Cuba, a town in Sumpter county of 600 inhabitants which is revel- ing in wealth. What makes 1t specially interesting to us Is that 1t is about one half a degree farther north than what we are, and all of its wealth Is derived from the sale of early vegetables At present the only vegetables raised in the vicinity of this thriving town are beans, peas and potatoes. but in a year or two, so we are told, the town will be shipping large quantities of peaches and other fruits. The truckers have been re- ceiving on their farms an average of s1. 25 per bushel for their peas and beans and 60 to 80 cents for their potatoes. The vegetables are shipped to Cincinnati and bring there just about twice the price mentioned above but there are only about 40 truckers in Cuba and the vegetables having to be shipped in less than car load lots of course the express charges are very heavy Notwithstanding all this we understand the truckers work from 10 to r acres and net s1Oo to $l25 to the acre, never less than $75. After the vegetables come off the land Is planted in cotton and being already very fertile readily produces a bale to the acre. These ten to seven teen acre farms bring to their owners from 5000 to 5000 or as much as some of our own farms ten times as large. Now what can be done in Cuba and Sumpter county can certainly be done here, and the sooner our farmers appreciate this the better 1t will be for them and the coun- tryA generally

piled high around the stake and
the negro was securely fastened to
the iron rod. Finally all was in
readiness and the word was given
to fire the funeral pile. The hus-
band and brother of Clark's vic
tim stepped forward and placed
torches and in a moment flames
leaped up, enveloping the negro
in smoke and fire. The negro
moaned piteousIy and the agoniz-

awful torture he was undergoing.
The flames we're fed by the crowd

In view of the tent services now
in,progress in Union City, we ap
pend q short sketch of the eyangel
list:
Rev. G. W. Eichelberger was born
in Jefferson County, West Vir-
ginia, in 1857, and reared on a
farm in Missouri. He was edu-
Gated at Cumberland University
and graduated from Drury College,
taking the degrees of Bachelor and
Master of Arts. His theological
education was secured at Gettys
burg, Pa, from which school he
emerged as Doctor of Divinity in
1889. He was pastor OF Albion
and Chicago churches nearly five
years, afterwards devoting him
self to evangelistic work. His la
bors include field of thirty, two
states and territories, holding
meetings also in Canada.
Rev. Eichelberger is remember,
ed by a number of Union City PEG,
pie, having held a series of services
here some fifteen wears AGO. He
has also travelled extensively in the
South and spent about three years
in Memphis, from 1890 to 1898.
There his wife became an invalid
and he was compelled to remain
during her sickness. In the ab-
sence of other employment his
services were secured on the edi
torial staff of the Memphis Com
mercial as assistant with Mike
Connolley, Walker Kennedy and
Editor Mooney. After the death
of his beloved wife, he resumed
the ministry again, travelling over
various sections of country. Last
week he reached Union City at the
call of the pastors here, having de-
clined a number of calls at other
points. 1t was at the urgent solicit
tation of Rev. Hendrick and Rev.
Kendrick that he consented to-
come and this arrangement was
heartily approved by pastors of
other churches.
His daughter, Miss Roberta, &C,
companies HIM from June to Octo-
Der. During the remainder of the
year she will be in the Lebanon
College for Young Ladies at Leb-
anon.
A very correct portrait of Mr..
Eichelberger appears in this article.
His tent is located on the old Met
ropolitan Hotel lot near the Union
Station. Services are conducted
morning and evening, and the tent
is crowded daily, beginning last
Tuesday with an audience of about
eighty persons. He is plain, ear
nest speaker, a man of intelligence
and Bible student, decidedly |
practical at times, but not abusive
and without doubt a conscientious
gentleman and a man of God. !

MARvrIousLY CUT DIAMONDS.

We received today direct from our cutter
abroad two Of the most beautifully brilliant
diamonds ever cut, known as the "Twen'
tieth Century Diamond" deriving Its name
from the peculiar style Of cutting, 1t being
cut to point on top, thus doing away with
the large fat surface known as the table
Of the old style cut diamond. This Tween.
tleth century style of cutting gives to the
diamond a better angle for scintlllstlon
which naturally increases its brilliuncy &c
q very great extent We really can not
describe their real beauty. You must see
them; and it is worth your while to make
special visit to our store. We will be
glad TO show them TO you.

these particular diamonds, as our cutter
assures US they are the first ones to be
shown in the entire Southwest.
