makes no difference how good your
stuff is, If it doesn't look well the
buyer is very apt to pass it by. We
must please the eye of the buyer
first and then tackle his taste. The
4-basket crate is the best, princi-
pally because il is standard; the
buyer will take it in preference to
a basket or other package holding
more, because he knows what the
I.basket crate holds and he is not
sure whether the other package
holds more or less. He would
rather know what he l. paying his

bushel boxes; first piled and
sweated, then dried and cooled, and
packed tight and full. Radishes,

what you would pay YOUR money

INSURANCE RATES.
Property Owners in Burned District
 Becoming Alarmed.

Property owners in the burned dis trict are alarmed. over the great in crease in insurance rates. Those who are putting up fre-proof buildings are particularly so, and the only way they. can see any profit coming to them from their property is by insuring for less than they otherwise would. A build ing like the Camp building, for in stance, which it is said will cost nearly 150,O0O, will be an exceedingly costly piece of property to maintain. This will cost about 800 in interest, taxes, insurance, etc. The Muilings, the Jones & Morgan, and the Meigs build ings, all costing in the neighborhood of $70,OOO or $S0,O00, are all fire-proof, and will be likewise affected. The owners see no reason for the great in- crease in the insurance rates, unless it is to reimburse the insurance compan- ies for their output in the great fires that took place early this year.

GOLD FOUND IN ALABAMA
Vein Has Been Worked Secretly
 for Two Years.

Furry Caused Tn Wall Street By the
 Announcement-A Twenty Stamp
 Mill Has Been Turning Out Ore to
 the Value of $36 a Ton Another
 Stamp Is to Be Erected At Once
 and Great Activity is Shown.
 New York, Dec 3O.-Something of a furry has been caused in Wall street, says the World, by the formal .an- nouncement that gold had been dis covered in Alabama ill sufficient quan- titles to make the mining of it profit able. There was more of furry when it was announced that none or the stock was for sale.
 For more than two years the land has been worked secretly. A twenty stamp mill was erected without even the knowledge of the natives. Chance led to the discovery of the vein of ore. A company was formed and the stock was bought up by New York, Phlla- deIphia and Washington capitalists be- fore the news became public.
 The value of the ore has been aver aging S36 ton for the past sixty days and another twenty stamp mill is going up: s
 The mine is 20 miles from Annlston Ala. and 70 miles from Birmingham. The lode of ore runs for mile and half northeast and southwest. The pay streak varies in width from two feet to four feet.
