TRUCK FARMING IS
 ALABAlNA,S FORTE


 there was no lands anywhere that would compare with these as to loca- tion. drainage, flowing wells for re- ,versiblo Irrigation, etc. No truck farming can be successfully conducted on lands where the water supply IS not thoroughly adequate and of the right sort. and the fact that these wells are found on the property. makes these lands the most valuable in the United States, wonderfully adapted to truck farming of the most scientific sort.
 All of the above land mentioned was recently sold to Mir. J. O. Thomp- son for $s.12 1-2 an acre, and shortly afterwards bought from him by MT. Lighter at Sio an acre. The entire property totals 5000 acres. and includes the station of Conner, Ala, and the property lying to the southward. This property has been thoroughly in- spected by scientific truck farmers, and is pronounced to be more valuable even than the Sanford, Fla. truck lands. which sell for from $500 to $l,0o0 an acre. 9
 These lands are situated on the Gen. tral of Georgia Railway. and have &C., cess to all Eastern markets. The town of Conner has been laid off and plated into 1000 lots. which will be sold on February IS, 1909, at public auction. The balance of the lands is surveyed Into i0-acre tracts and will be sold at private sale. on basis of 20 per cent cash, the balance in five years.
 In the town of Conner. free lots are being given to all public enterprises, and one $100 lot in the city free with each 40-acre farm tract. Conner is at present doing a mercantile busi- ness of upward of $200,0o0 year, and is steadily gaining in a business way. public road has been surveyed be- tween each of the s0-acre tracts. giving every one of the 40-acre tracts double frontage on the public right-of-way. With every safe is given warranty deed, with abstracts from the United States to date.
 Interested parties will find represen- tatives of Mir. B c. Lighter always on hand at either Birmingham or Conner, who will enter into details of every sort. Reference, Bradstreet.

when Royalty Huntn.

Whatever may be said of the hun ters in the country regarding thier wanton destruction of game. nothing comparable to the brutal methods of European aristoracy can be charged against them. The American sports man would lose all zest for the chase unless the hunted had some chance for life. Thus when rich man in the states wishes to set up a hunting lodge in a good game country, he de- sires nothing better than a plain log hut Of the style of pioneer days, simp- ly furnished, from which, either alone or in company of a few friends, he can start out early of a morning, with dogs and guns. to try to shoot at whatever the noses of the pack or the lucky direction of the route may start up. On the Euporean preserves, how exer, and especially the royal ones, matters are conducted in quite a diff ferent way, and hunting degenerates into a mere excuse to sit on a stool and work the trigger of a gun long enough to arouse an appittte, and es- pecially thirst
 Hunting parties are very fashiona- ble at this time Of the year in the British IIsIes and on the continent, but Ghe style of hunting used would turn any honest American hunters stomach for the sport. After a 10 o'clock breakfast the crowd starts out for some spot where the head steward has set up booth, or arranged little samp- -stoolsw facing the glade in the forest. Then hired beaters drive the game and as 1t jogs past. or flies over head. the bold spartsmen pepper away at 1t. Royalty. of course, has the first shot, and so 1t happent that the Kaiser or the Prince of Wales occas- ufa pieces of game in the course of a days slaughter

 The Old Morse Ansketil seems to have made its appearance in England first in S75 when the Anglo Saxon chronicle tells of the foray of oscytei, King of Denmark. Between this date and the Conquest, nearly a dozen Danes in England appear on the extant re- cords. These are nearly all ecciesias- ties and include a Bishop of Dorches. ter, an Abbott of CroyIand. and an Abbott of Ely. Oscytel. oschil and 0Hchetel are the variant spellings of
 In the eleventh century. but before the Conquest, the Norman form of the name began to appear The first now known was Ascytel. bondsman of AElfric, Archbishop of York, in 1928. Within the next century several ap- pear on the extant records In the Domesday we find the Norman forms Ascytel, Aschil. Ancytei and the Lat inized Anchitillus Later Aschetillus and Ascil are added.
 Before the close of the fourteenth century as shown by the Hundred Rolls Kirbys Quest. the Yorkshire Poll Tax List and other contemporary documents we have the additional va- riants Asketel. hl Anskitiel, Askil, Askill, Askyl. Ascul1. Astell, Astill, Os- kel, Osketil, etc. One Ascheti de Ouse- garth, of Yorkshire, is called in one document at Whitby Aschetel. Asche- tin. Asketin and AstelI.

 The prototheme of the name as the old Morse ass (for ans), term applied either to their gods in general or to the older branch of them It is ap- piled individually to odin, Bragi. Thor and Loki. The Old High German ans and the Anglo-Saxon os both mean God" The Goths called their dei1ed ancestors anses. Similar to these are the Etruscan aes and Magyar isten, signifying deity" These are curious parallels, if not cognates.
 The ultimate origin of the prototheme Is the Indo- European Fadlal es be" and its ultimate meaning, therefore, is Being" Is Avestan 1t Is ahura and appears in the name Ahura Mazda, the later ormand, Lord of Wisdom" the Supreme Deity of the Zoroastrians. The Vedic asura shows this same ele- ment, though the word in Sanskrit us- ually signifies a demon or evil spirit.

LANDS AROUND cOMER, ALA,
 PARTICULARLY ADAPTED
So Says B. (. Lighter of Birming- ham After an Investigation.
Iocstion, Drainage, Flowing Wells, Etc, Make the Property in That Section wonderfuIly Adapted
 for IuSense Truck
 Farming.

Alabama is fast forging to the front in progressive truck farming. Tn fact. no section of the United States has been able to show the remarkable strides that this State has made dur ing the past year or so. And indeed there is every reason why this should be so. No other section of the coun- try can boast of lands having the na- tural advantages for intense truck farming found in the lands around Conner, Ala, which belong to Mir. B. c. Lighter of Birmingham.
 Mir. Lighter owns the town of Co., mer, and in addition something over 5000 acres surrounding it.
 This property now in the hands of Mfr. Lighter. includes what is known as the famous Mitchell Tract, part of the old Governor Conner Plantation at Conner. This tract consists of ,000 acres of the very finest truck farming lands to be found In the world. In fact, after looking all over the coun-. try, Mir. Lighter says that he found

1 This is but one of several witnesses to I a great prehistoric religious feud be- tween the ancient Hindoos and Per- sians in consequence of which the dei- ties of the one became the demons or devils of the other.

On the Hundred Rolls of 1273 Gate. de Gate, le Cater, Kirby's Quest of 1927 shows the Somersetshire forms were atte Tate and atte Yete. Nor folk has atte Gates in 1854. The Yorkshire Poll Tax List of 1879 has atte Yate, atte Gate, de Gate, de Gayte and del Gates.

 The Alumni board discussed various matters of importance to the univer- sity. It was decided that all associa- tions with over 200 members should hereafter have two delegates.
