Fruit and Vegetable Culture I'm the
+, South.

From The Tradesman. July Is.
A feature of Southern DEVELOPMENT
which is of noteworthy Importance is
the extent of the cultivation of fruits
and vegetables. Before the war vege-
tables were a novelty in many of the
South Atlantic States, few being cult
waited except the supply raised by the
slaves for the masters table and for
their own use. Everybody and every
body's money were devoted to the old
time crops. Even twenty years ago
little was done in this line Then some
Jerseyman travelling through tidewa-
ter Virginia and Carolina, noted the
quality of the soil and the climate, ana
thought there was a chance to make
"A living raising vegetables for the
Northern consumer who could get
nothing from his gardens at least three
months in the year. They took up a

Today this part of the South is re-
ally far more valuable as a producer
than even its choicest cotton fields and
its most prolific corn territory.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous
services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

on the request of Rev. Edwin w. Lam

give him the opportunity to accept a call
to the pastorate at Worthington. The
choice of temporary pastor at large was
left in the hands of committee, whose
appointee will serve until the regular
synodical session of October. Rev. Lam
ham will take the pulpit at Worthington

be much better if they were much shorter. Take
Alice Wood Ullman's novel. a Bingham Rose"
Mrs. Ullman has n definite idea in her mind. and
has worked il out in a straightforward plot 10
rational denouement. The heroine is an indie
pendent young woman who supports herself by
writing short stories for the magazines and
finds her friends among the artists and news
paper writer's Of New-York. that truly bohemian
society which does not affect TO call itself bo-
hemian. The story depends for its interest less
on incident than play of character But the
author is too prone to indicate the development
Of her characters characters by what they say
than by what they do. What they do is simple
and understandable but the talk they indulge
in is OF a cheap smartness that seeks in vain TO
imply deep thoughts left unsaid, hidden mean
ings merely limited at. The consequence is that
the really clever little story is drowned in
frothy foam of silly studio chatter.
Tyson's home was in England. That is, he
was born there and lived there until he was
fourteen and came TO America TO seek his fort
une and found IT in the sheba mine. Through
all his struggles 10 success Tyson's one object

had left behind. and TO settle down amid the
scenes that his memory pictured TO him Of prm-
rose lanes and picturesque cottages. trim hedges
and a subservient peasantry SO back he goes.

where once he looked up. Mr. Rideing is at

his descriptions OF the rather fast. semi
decadent insular set into which he launches his
hero az he is appreciative OF the crude new,
wide life OF the Southwest, where Tyson had
grown TO be himself The problem that the
author sets himself to solve is whether mans
home is the that IS made for him or the one

The American types in the book are sketched

The impression left by the book is creditable
