GOOD IN CULLMAN
Largest Strawberry Crop In History
of the County Is Predicted BY
Well Informed Men.

Cullman, March 17.-(Special.)-J. M.
Crutchfield nurseyman, and one of the
best-posted fruit men in north Alabama,

view this morning that the peach crop

crop but Mr.. Crutchfield states that there
will be considerable fruit unless a very
cold snap follows this spell of warm
weather There will be less than half a
crop, according TO Mr.. Crutchfields judg-
ment, but even this will be much better
than was expet ted two weel ago.
As to Strawberries, Cullman has never
had a better prospect for a good crop.
If the nice weather now prevailing con-
tinues the early varieties will be ready
for the market by April Is. These early
vi sieties are now in bloom and are in
fine shape If there is no heavy frost in
April the crc' will be the largest Cullman
has ever had. The increase in acreage
viii add considerably to the crops vol
ume The general farmer in Cullman
county is in good shape and Is making a
good start on the years work Since the
February cold -pell the farmers have had
good seasons for work and have taken
advantage of every good day.

time Chief Joyner had a ladder thrown
to the third story where the young
ladies. who had been suddenly aroused
from slumber, were panic stricken and
almost ready to jump out of the window.

and handed the young ladies down to his
fire laddes below one at time, resuing
them all unframed. f. q. Bozen, a resi-
dent of the apartment, was almost suf-
located and quite badly burned. The fire

method used by Capt. L. B. Rainey of

Obesity IN America.

A New Yorker recently undertook long
fast, for the second time, TO reduce his
weight. but such heroic methods are not
likely to be adopted by many. Modera-
tion in diet, however, has long been re-
commended. but never more so than now,
and particularly so in conjunction with
certain mineral waters, the use of which
is strongly advised by some medical au-
thorities. The British Medical Journal
goes so far as to say that the efficiency
of a Hungarian aperient water named
Apenta for the systematic treatment OF
obesity is clinically established: leading
Berlin medical journal speaking OF obser-
vations made in the famous clinic of Pro-
fessor Gerhardt at the Charity hospital
Berlin, says that this Apenta water pro-
duces reduction of fat in the body
without detriment. The necessity for
this moderation in diet almost leads one
to picture the typical American Of the
present day as rotund and bucolic rather
than long and lanky. as has been the IA
vorite characterization of Uncle Sam.

First Fall.
The first fall last night went to Monroe
in a little over twelve minutes. He got
half Nelson on Dwyer that the latter
could not break nor twist out Of and the
superior weight of the Montana miner was
more than Dwyer could stand. He was
finally literally crushed to the mat.
In the second fall Dwyer seemed to be
goner several times, but by wonder
full quickness and some new turns and
twists he has never used here before,
he pulled himself out of some bad posi-
tions He finally got on top and then
by most marvellous changes from one
half-Nelson to another he finally put
Monroe's back to the mat. It required
16 minutes and 10 seconds Monroe shook
off one half-Nelson after another, but
each time Dwyer was able to catch the
hold on the other side by lightning quick
ness, and finally Monroe could no longer
stand the pressure.
Third Fall.
The third fall was made in - minutes

that seemed to be even faster than that
of the previous fall. Dwyer was never
