the association each shipper receiving memorandum of his shipment. In this way the berries are disposed of at the least expense and at the best market price There Is no friction or dtssatis- faction, and the uncertainty of the old plan where each grower managed the sale of his own products Is avoided. The manager. MT Deppe, Is a fine business man and keeps in close touch with the market so as to command at all times the best prices and shipping advantages. His assistant, MT Searcy, acts as ship ping clerk. and Just now is one of the busiest men in Cullman He takes a great interest in the prosperity of the fruit growers.
 Growers Are Independent.
 The fruit-growers of Cullman, as a rule are independent in small way: that is they own their homes, are out of debt and have some money laid by whereas most of them had comparatively nothing to start with. I have not the space to relate even briefly the individual sue cesses that have been rounded out in the berry patches of Cullman county.
 Besides strawberries Cullman ships ev cry year more than % car loads of other produce such as potatoes, apples, black Derrles' raSpDerrleS, ItWperrles anu -sucn products.
 The German Farmers association has already shipped IA car loads of straw berries. The Cullman Fruit and Pro duee association has shipped S. The ber ry season will last about two more weeks. If the weather is favorable it will last longer The weather is getting very dry for the berries
 The soil around Hanceviile,. eight miles xf..IT. -l. adaptable to berries and the farmers in that section are going in the business right extensively. It is believed that in three or four years the acreage in berries in Cullman county will be doubled.
 Members of Association.
 The members of the German Farmers association are: T. F. Adams, J. s. Akers' A. Beller, John F. Bleker, H. Bolte, J. H. Bolte, Geo. Brunner. Wm. Boetcher c. A. Boehr, J. H. Buerow. James Der ~<-><~~

New Instruments Also
 Sold Cheap.

The stock of the Frank G. Fite fiano Co.,, which is being sold by the D. B. Forbes -1ano Co.,, continues to be a success. They were bought at less than factory cost, and on account of the great number, it is necessary to sell them at very much lower profit than usual What further contributes to the sale and it's success, is the fact that the E. Forbes Piano Go. con- tracts for large number of pianos at the beginning of the year, and now these pianos represent surplus stock, and it becomes necessary in order not to have these pianos accumulate on their hands, to sell them at a less profit than any dealer has ever before been able to 10. The point of fact is, that they go at nearly factory cost, for it is better for the E. D. Forbes Piano Co., to take small profit and so reap the very large discount that they get by contracting for great num- bers of pianos,
 Any person contemplating buying piano or any other musical instrument will find by comparison that this sale has not been created by advertising, but is a direct result of conditions.
 These few prices indicate alone how much person may save on an instru- ment:

 MT J. D. Searcy whose picture accom- panies this article is the assistant man. ager of the German Farmers association and has long been closely identified with the growth of Cullman and especially its fruit and produce interests. His work for the good of the fruit growers has been untiring and unselfsh only for the good of his county He manages the ship ping department and his work in this de- partment is greatly appreciated by the people who ship through him. He knows every grower In the county by name and has made himself a great favorite by his untiring willingness to- render them any assistance in his power. He issues checks to the association members and in this way comes in close touch with the peo- pie.
 Has Good Manager. The association did well in their selec- ton of a general manager. MT. Charles Y Deppe is a fine business man and has the interests of the Cullman growers at heart. He keeps in touch with the mar ket even before the Cullman season opens up and has always been very sue cessful in securing the best prices for the men who have entrusted their business in his hands. He Is working day and night for the good Of the association and its individual members. He sold the first car of this years crop to H. A. Groff, representing an Indianapolis produce con- cern at $3 per crate. The car contained 446 crates These berries netted the pro- ducer s2.45

Fruits and vegetables grew in abundance and soon attracted other settlers, who came, wondering at the productiveness of the soil and the life giving elixir of the atmosphere.
 Georgia Settlers Struggled Over.
 In 1885 a few Georgia settlers came struggling over, cutting away small patches in the forest and building tenn porary log cabins. This tide of immigra- ton increased gradually until 1t assumed proportions of flood. The first German
