LARGEST Wholesale NURSERY.
Selects Delta as Distributing Point
for the Great Western Slope Fruit
District and Green River Country

The largest wholesale nursery in the
United States has selected Delta as a
point to distribute from to Montrose,
Paonia. Palisade, Hotchkiss, Grand
Junction and as far west as Green Riv-
er, Utah. A. W. Carr, being their
western representative, has distributed
to all these points this season from
Delta over 4OO,O trees and plants.
The Alabama Nursery Co. grows all
the staple varieties adapted to this lat
itude. Their peach trees have become
famous.
All the leading fruit growers know
Mr.. Carr and the Alabama Nursery Co.
knows him-he stands between his GUS
toners and the Nursery Co. When he
finds box or bunch of trees diseased
or damaged in any way, it goes to the
brush pile and is charged up to the
Nursery Co. He has done SO much Of
this kind Of work that the Nursery Co.
has learned to send him nothing but
what is alive. healthy and in fine condi-
ton as they know they will get no re-
turns unless it is so, for he will not per-
init damaged or diseased stock to leave
his hands and go to customer. If by
mistake anything should happen, he
sends the bill. replaces it or refunds
the money at once. They all begin to
know Mr.. Carr now, and so does his
Nursery Co.
1t is a great thing for this fine fruit
country to have such firm represen-
ted among US by man who is thorough
ly up to date and understands the busi-
ness clean through. No further reco-
mendation is required than to see the
tens of thousands of these fine trees
growing all over the territory above
mentioned. All successful fruit grow
ers know the Alabama Nursery Co. and
they know Mr.. Carr too.
They told Mr.. Carr the reason they
stuck to him is-that they are not afraid
Of one who sticks up for his customers.
They were willing to pay all his eXpen-
ses to their large nursery in Alabama,
just to have him show them how to put
up trees, so they would be acceptable
to his numerous customers. He expects
to visit the nursery again before he be-
gins taking orders for spring of 1908
delivery. He wants to know all about
the stock that he is to sell. The COM
pany's description of what they have to
send him does not satisfy him-he wants
to see it for himself.

DIES WITH HIS BOOTS ON
Pierce Travis Pays Penalty of Being
a Bad Man,

I. special to the Mobile Daily Reg
lister dated from Brewton, Ala.
furnishes this information:
pierce Travis, noted character
of this section, was shot and instant
ly killed at Foshee, twelve miles west
of Brewton, Saturday night by ]. r.
Stewart, foreman of the Alger-Sulli
van Lumber Company plant at that
place. Particulars of the killing are
lacking, but it is alleged that Travis
was intoxicated and became involved
in a quarrel with Mr.. Stewart, which
resulted in his death.
Travis was about forty years of
age and was native of Santa Rosa
county, Florida, and was raised in
that county and Escambia county,
Alabama. For several years he has
been considered a dangerous man and
| it is alleged that he was at the bot
tom of the trouble at Flomaton
among the railroad men at various
times during the past two years.
His remains were brought to Brew
ton and carried to his old home, just
across the Florida line, and inferred
in the family burying ground. He
leaves numerous relatives in this and
adjoining counties.
The preliminary trial of Mr.. Stew
art will take place at Foshee to-mor-
row before Justice William Hammac
of Foshee and Justice L. B. McCon-
nell of Brewton. After the shooting
Mr.. Stewart surrendered but was
later released on bond to await the
findings Of the justices at his trial

WOMAN IN STRANGE FIELDS.
Exploration and Discovery No Longer
Left to the Sterner Sex.

Not long ago the triumph of a wo-
man who had assembled one of the
Himalaya peaks to a height hitherto
unequaled by any mountain climber
was duly chronicled A few days later
a foreign news item announced the ar
rival in South Africa of an American
young woman who seeks the jungle
in order to study the language of the
monkey tribe. She is alone In her
daring quest and appears to have a
full realization of its perils.
Still another venturesome woman is
Margaret Selenka, Of German birth,
who is to bead an important scientific
expedition to Java In the early part OF
the coming year. She goes there in
the endeavor to establish the identity
Of fossil man-ape found on the
island, as the so-ca1led missing link
1t is evident that these women are
admitting no handicap because OF
their sex. They are courageously en-
tering regions that few men have pen
etrated and their action suggests that
it may not be long before the suprem
acy of the sterner sex in the fields Of
exploration and discovery will be very
seriously questioned.

Sheriff E. w. Breland, last week,
took a delightful trip to Pensacola,
Fla, the guest of the hospitable
sheriff down there. Mr.. Breland was
used as a witness to confront a Grim
inal in the court there who was sail
ing under false name, the name of
an entirely different party, whom Mr..
Breland happened to have come
across here some years ago. Our
sheriff seems freshened up from his
trip and much struck with the cor
dial courtesy of the people who dwell
in that part of our southland. Even
to the negro, he informs us, is unusu-
al courtesies shown by all, even by
the officials. Not courtesy to be cen
surable for but of a kind, firm way
they have.

local exclusion. We always want to

Mrs. Dave Beary has again joined
her home circle. She arrived Tues
day. This her second sojourn in the
hospital for the insane at Tuscaloosa,
Ala, was made rather more to build
up her physical than mental makeup,
as her mind was cured under the first
treatment. She is now we'll both
mentally and physically. The facili-
ties which these elemosynary insti-
tutions afford for relieving afflicted
humanity are wonderful indeed. How
good it is to live in such an enlight-
ened age, when science has kept pace
