Special to The Journal.

Brent, April AT last, we have
had a rainless week, and without a
cold wave.
While the past winter was unusual
" mild. the cola waves through the
month of March were very damaging
to vegetation. Early corn and Irish
potatoes were badly knocked out"
The friends of Mrs. Geo. Marshall
will regret to learn that she is now
on the sick list. Before coming
south she had a serious struggle
with Lagrippe. and had barely rallied
enough to venture on the long trip to

What is wrong with the finny
tribes of the gulf, that the fishermen
are about to abandon their business
and seek more lucrative employ
ment? Is the supply being exhaust
ed like the pine timber on land
or. has the trough" weather caused
a collapse in the once lucrative busi-
ness? If there is a shortage in the
product there would be an according
advance in prices.
The fishermen may be allured by
deceptive outlooks in abnormal fields
