FIRST NUMBER PUBLISHED.

The first number of The Ginseng
Grower reached our exchange table
last Thursday 1t is neatly gotten up
little booklet and in addition to the
splendid colored picture of the ginseng
plant on the front page, contained a
vast fund of information in regard to
the history, description and uses of this
plant, and also of the profits to be made
from its cultivation. 1t is seldom that
we have read any similar work with
such genuine interest or with such
profit. That The Ginseng Grower is
appreciated for the work it has mapped
out in encouraging this most profitable
branch of agriculture, is evident from
the way the subscriptions for the jour
nal are flowing in. Although Mr.. Dunn
has made no effort to canvas the city,
nor will he, the leading citizens, more
public-spirited ones who are quick to
recognize good thing and push it
along, have been sending in their dol
lars to pay for the years subscription.
Nearly all our exchanges have repub-
lished the article from last week.
PILoT, and there is little question but
what the Ginseng Grower must have
been responsible for the starting of
many ginseng gardens during the COM
ing year. The value of an acre of
plants at the end of five years is esti-
mated to be $780, from which it can
be seen that the ordinary back yard
garden is sufficiently large in which to
raise enough of this root to make man
Independent. 1t is better and surer
than the Klondike. Now is the time
for the people of this county to grasp
this splendid opportunity and the way
to start right is to get a thorough under
standing of the plants requirements.
A dollar spent for years subscription
to the Ginseng Grower, is dollar most
judiciously expended. The plant is
easily cultivated, is sure crop and the
present prices of $40 and S12 per pound
will increase materially within the next
few years. There are fortunes to be
made. Don't wait for the other fellow
to make them.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

Much is being said and written con-
corning the benefit to be derived from
well directed-physical exercise; exercise
that involves all of the internal as we'll
as external muscles of the whole body.
Thinking people admit the value of
the advice where moderation is
praeticed, and large NUMBERS have
been and are investing in some form
of physical culture, but to stick to it
regularly day after. day, that's the hard
point. Its easier to pay the money in
volved than to find the time, is one ex-
cuse, or to find the energy or DISPOSE
ton is oftener the true reason. Be
more careful to take exercise as you
grow older is the advice of a New
York physician, now "a years old. Our
business mems class is larger than it
has ever been, but there is room for a
great many more, and there are large
numbers of men in this city who need
just what our gymnasium affords.
In addition to the class exercise and
baths, our physical director gives en-
examination and series of home ex
ercises, when desired, that are equal to
any for which people are paying ten
and twenty dollars. Our membership
fee is five dollars.
