CALLING IN PRIVATE CARS.
Most Notable Change in Reorganization of Operating Department of the q !
 Iron Mountain Road.

Little Rock, June 15. -During 9 the progress of the reorganiza- tion of the operating department of the Iron Mountain many changes have been made. One of the most noticeable is the call ing in of the private cars of a number of the superintendents of divisions.
 The change has been made, it is said, in view of the fact that the company will in a short time put into the service heavy mo- tor car which will greatly facili- tate the movement of division officials.
 It is stated that the cars which will be built for this service will carry twelve men, and will be heavy enough to be driven at a speed of twenty miles an hour. This will do away with the neces- sity of waiting for a regular train or the ordering out of an engine to draw the private cars over :the lines. With these the superintendent can make a trip over the division with about the cost of firing up an engine and getting it ready for the road. These cars will be of the latest improved design. and will not be the small inspection cars with which so much trouble has been hao recently.
 It is said that within very short time these cars will be Tn operation on all divisions not supplied with a private car.

aAIsMa sEEDLEss FRUITS,
Some Success Achieved with Apples, Plums and Cherries in the
 Last Few Years.

A veteran nurseryman of Colorado aeralds the fact that after years of pa tient experiment ill grating and budding he has secured seedless apple. Modest- ly the creator has withheld information of his success until he has secured 40 trees of his new variety. says local in- formant Expert pomologists have ex-. amined the new apple, and declare t to be very handsome in appearance. De- tails of the methods by which this achievement was attained have not been divulged, but when it is remembered that the million-box crop of navel oranges came from single shipment of six slips the start that has already been attained with 40 productive trees presages an early appearance of the seedles apple in commerce.
 The department of agriculture, as we'll as many grape growers, have been work Ing for years on the problem of a seed less grape, and, while rumors of success have appeared from time to time during the past decade, the Sultana and Thomp- son seedless varieties have during the past year established their reputation among the viticulturists. The Japanese plum, without a stone. is also reported . reality, although the seeds have not been obviated. Cherries without stones are promised in the immediate future. Seedless tomatoes are alleged to have been perfected by an Indiana woman. be- ing grown from the stock of the tomato. which is replanted when 1t is at its full height. Watermelons of the same freak nature are also rumored from Georgia. but not much credence Is placed in this report. though if tomatoes have been perfected there is no essential reason why similar success should not be ae' taineA with the watermelon.

being brought in by timely safe hit by
Branch. This was the only safe hit reg

the other side. An eyelash, nose and

Gllt-Ed9ed Baseball.

BACK and forward swung long slnewy
arm Friday afternoon on the Winons
field where the Greenwood boys gave
battle to Winona. Behind it and direct
ing the leather shot that was hurled
against the helpless batsmen, was a
pitcher possessed of as many shoots,
slants, and curvatures as is included in
a modern pitchers repertoire. The aim
was not as unerring, but the sizzling,
kissing missiles that went in without re-
port landed in the catchers nit with all
the fierceness OF a Mauser. The battle
was the second of the series between
Greenwood. Odgden Jones had charge
OF the Greenwood's firing line from the
pitchers trenches. For nine innings he
kept the boys Of the hill city guessing
dodging and jumping. 1t was a game
replete with sensational plays and was
in doubt from beginning to end. The
contest throughout was of the hair
raising order and was witnessed BY
large crowd, consisting mostly of Winona
fair bellies. The left handler, Balfour
Staples opposed Jones and the game re-
solved itself in to a great struggle for
supremacy. All during the game Jones
was cool and had his opponents at mercy
while Staples used all his strength.
Staples twirled successful game, six
hits being rolled against him but luck
was with Winona and they won out.

COTTON RECEIPTS
PASS CENTURY MARK

The cotton receipts for Greenwood
have passed the 100000 mark, and the
season is not yet over by several months.
1t is believed that before the beginning
OF next season that the receips will be
eight or ten thousand more than the
above figure, thus making Greenwood
the banner cotton market of the state.
AS the cotton receipts of a city are
generally taken as the business barom-
eter of the place, it may be readily un-
dersrood why Greenwood continues to
grow at such rapid pace.
