A Negro in France.

Tn France. outside of Paris" writes d traveller. "the people appeared to regard our coOred girl as an object of unparal- leled interest Crowds came into the ho- tels where we stopped and gazed at her in open-m -mouthed astonishment Proba- hlY they had never seen q black woman before In Marseilles when she went out on the street she struck terror to a bunch of school children, who lied when they saw her as if she were some horri- ble monster though she is one of the comeliest dark girls in the country
 She attended church one day and all most broke up the services, Finally we got tired of the thing and went hack to England where the people take no more note of the color of human beings than they do in this country. The girl herself was often so put out that she cried from vexation and vowed she wouldn't go to France again for all the fnery in Paris. '

TEN INNINGS AGAIN
HOME RUN BY WALLACE IN
 THE TENTH.
Game Filled With Hits, Errors and Enthusiasm, Sensational Field Work and Big Score-Troy
 Here Next Week.

The phenomenal series of games be- tween Sylacauga and Montg came to close yesterday with one of the most sensational of them all. It was a game abounding with terrific hitting a super abundance of errors, sensational plays and enthusiastic excitement in large con- gealed blocks. As in so many of the pre- vious games between these teams the score was tied up twice, the last time in the ninth inning. the locals winning with a home run in the last half of the tenth. Lee Cohn pitched an unusually steady game-for everybody seemed i'm bued with f1endish desire to tear the cover off the ball-while O'Brien was knocked out of the box while the game was young. Sorrell succeeding him and being given the same terrific punish ment. There were three home runs dur ing the ten innings, four two baggers, two three-baggers are included In the hits. The locals made a couple of as fast double plays as were ever seen on a ball field and the visitors made one, a lightning one. By a series of wild with the ball and some hard. consistent hitting by Sylacauga. they put over three runs in the ninth inning and tied the score, which at that time was F to in nothing in their half of the 9th and it was another ten-inning game. In the first half of the tenth Sylacauga was un- able to produce and it looked pretty nothing doing. Wallace, "the man that couldn t hit. settled the matter by a terrific drive nearly to the center fence the game closing 13 to F in favor of the locals.
 The local team left last night for Mo bile, wher ethey play today. the only change in the fast lineup being that Lobman will play third today. Hobbie
 l. As, oI~l k@ rRytN tA fna 1a night, Starr pitching today.

Canada jumped into prominence in the

From now on the increasing production
from that section must be reckoned an

p Raves q wnnineo GRAIN doo1or


J. P. Raves, Winnipeg grain dealer,
says:
II have been both grain buyer and a
grain grower here for the last ten years.
There is money in farming; for instance,
in 1895, rented for $500 a half-section
on which there were 200 acres broken.
Out Of 125 acres in wheat and Is in oats
cleared over $1,000, after paying rent
and every other expense Of growing and
marketing the crop. I even charged up
against It such incidentals as hire of rigs
I had working it. I know many other
such incidents. One man bought Sec
ton at $12 an acre. paid for it out; of the
first crop and had $500 over to the good
out of it.. Our farmers are getting rich
and many can afford to build houses with
every convenience Of a house in town.
AS to the average prices paid farmers
at country points, for wheat he said:
"The price quote is on the basis of No.
1 northern. The difference between each
grade is about cents, as rule. For the
past Ten years the average price would
be about IS cents per bushel to farmers
at country points. For the past six years
the average has been so cents. The aver
age prices for each of the years from
1892 to 1901 both inclusive, being SOC,
45c, 4Sc, 44c, Coo, 55c, Coo, 60c, Csc and Soc,
respectively. The price in 1895 went down
from 55c to SEC, but l give the average.
The crops of 1898 and 1901 would have
graded very high but for fall rains, which
injured them during the threshing season.
For example, there is a little station

Opinion of Commissioners Chipma,

Opinion of Commissioner Chapman
1850 of the III. b. Co.
c.. c. Chapman, commissioner and chief
executive officer of the Hudson Bay COM
pany, says: -
1t can be stated with full confidence that
there is no section of the North American
continent offering greater inducements to ag-
rieulturists than the fertile belt'' of Canada
lying west of the Red river, stretching for
1000 miles to the Rocky mountains and from
the international boundary northwards to the
great valley Of the far-famed Saskatchewan
river. This area contains some $50 600 900
acres of mixed farming and grazing lands
unsurpassed for richness of soil, and with a
climate the most exhilarating. Here homes
can be had free by those who are unable to
purchase in the settled districts, and choice
wheat growing land can be had for few
dollars an acre.
All things considered, there need be no hesi-
tation in stating that those desiring com
Portable homes and bright future prospects
should lose no time in taking advantage Of
the opportunity at present presented. The
outlook for investors is not less promising
than that for the practical farmer; and with
the continued inflow of settlers, land that is
now in the market at S or IS an acre should
in the ordinary course of things soon com
mand double these figures.
