Money in Trucking.

Truck farming around Poplar
vile has been very successful so
far this season. Those who grew
radishes for the market realized
a handsome profit on them, and
are now turning their attention to
other crops which they expect to
have ready to market little later
on. The ground on which the
radishes grew, will be planted in
beans, okra, tomatoes, etc. Truck
farming hele is a continual thing
next to perpetual motion. After
one thing comes another, and so
on until the farmer gets rich and
goes to merchandising. And this
is not the end yet. When he goes
broke in the mercantile business,
he goes back to truck farming and
makes another stake. You see it
is an endless chain. Free Press.

ARE GOING TO ST. LOUIS.
Mississippi viii be Well Represented at
the Fair.

Numerous plans ale being made
for large excursion parties from
Mississippi to st. Louis during
the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
ton; and the indications are that
the railroads operating in the
state having lines to the Worlds
Fair city, especially the Mobile
and Ohio and Illinois Central, will
have all the traffic they can han
die during the big event.
The first large party to leave
Mississippi for st. Louis will be
the Mississippi Press Association,
which will start from McComb on
the 18th of May and remain ten
days. A large body of teachers
will leave Meridian on the 7th of
May after the adjournment of the
Mississippi Teachers Association
to visit the exposition, and it is
estimated that no less than two
thousand of the school teachers of
the state will visit the exposition
before its close.
The student body of the Missis-
sippi Agricultural and Mechanical
College, four hundred in number
have made arrangements for a
special train on which they will
travel to St. Louis Immediately
after the commencement exercises
in June.
A party of Greenwood citizens
have chartered the steamer Nat
chez upon which they viii make
an excursion to st. Louis in July.
The vessel will be brought to
Greenwood wharf during the June
rise, and arrangements will he
made on board for the accommo-
dation of three hundred people.
This party intends to reach St.
Louis by July 7-h, which is Missis-
sippi Day.
Maj. Dement'S battalion of the
Second Regiment, National Guard,
will be in st. Louis sometime dur
ing the latter part of June and
the first of July, and will remain
in camp about ten days. The bat
TALON is composed of four COM
panies.
The Mississippi Worlds Fair
Commission is unable to make an
accurate estimate, but it is beliey-
ed that no less than $4,000 people
from this state will visit the expo
Esition during the summer.-C Clar-
ion Ledger.

A terrific explosion in the tur-
ret of the battIeship Missouri, on
Wednesday, killed FIVE officers and
twenty four men and wounded
others. Among the dead is Lieut..
E. M. Gridley, son Of the late
Capt. Gridley, who commanded
the flagship Of Admiral Dewey &
squadron when he sailed into Ma
nilla Bay and fought the Spanish
ships. 1t is supposed that too
rapid re-loadipg of the guns was
the cause of the disaster.

Miss Alice Roosevelt has been
banished to New York, il is SAID !,
because she bet on the races. The
real reason seems TO have been
that she was caught ID the act by
d photographer. Mr.. Roosevelt
.strennously reproved his stren-
Gus daughter, and she has pron-
ised not to do so any more.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician Of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food He says:
IT have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we owe
it to humanity to teach them how to
protect their health especially by by
gienic and dietetic laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation I have
found no food to equal Grape-Nuts
and that I find there is almost no
limit to the great benefit this food will
bring when used in all cases Of sick
ness and convalescence.
TT is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons In health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at breakfast
to start the machinery of the human
system on the days work. In cases of
indigestion I know that a complete
breakfast can be made of Grape-Nuts
and cream and I think it is necessary
not to overload the stomach at the
morning meal. also know the great
value of Grape-Nuts when the stomach
is too weak to digest other food.
'oThis is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all
manner of chronic and acute diseases
and the letter is written voluntarily or
my part without any request for 1t.

olene in three minutes. With a quantity
Of the powder Mr. Holton Cured" five
gallons Of gasolene.' He then explained
that gasolene exploded under two condi-
tons, first, when there are six parts OF air
to one part of vaporized gasolene; second
lly, when the gas01ene Is. In an air-tight
receptacle and fire is applied, Most of the
accidents which are called explosions are
merely fires. The cured gasolene ex-
ploded and showed no results different
from those Of demonstrations along the
same line conducted with uncured gaso-
lene. 1t was then shown that a lighted
cigar will not ignite gasolene or the va
por, but will itself be put out This Is
so, whatever kind Of gasolene be used. #
At the end of the dem onstration, Mr
Holton warned the people against using
gasolene at all. However, if it is used
the greatest precautions should be used
and if possible, the gasolene should al.
ways be kept out of doors.
