Further back on Dexter Avenue there were located Sam Strauss's Gov ernment Saloon, and the Oak Hall. Strauss was comparatively new com CT in the business, but prohibition overlook him after he had but up splendid trade among the younger men, the Bohemian and the laboring men.
 The oak Hall for the past yAar has been run by Georgia people who came over from Columbus after prohibition went into effect in that State. The proprietors had such a big Georgia shipping trade that they never cared much for their retail business. but in other years 1t was a noted place and many members of the Legislature can easily recall It.
 There were others, many of them, put to those who knew Montgomery, certain features of life in the city will he recalled by mention of tho well known places which went out of busi-

 So far as the city Is concerned the slosIng down of the big wholesale trade will affect 1t as much as the shutting off of these retail places, but these Sa- looms are recalled az features of Mont gomery that will be known no more.

IN POLICE COURT

Now. as all the world knows Jennie

 in the court room takes her position
 on the right hand side of the desk and

 Yesterday Jennie was nowhere to be
 seen. not scrap offur was in sight to
 give a clue to her whereabouts and
 all that tho docket was taken up and
 the work swung rnerriiy forward.
 In the midst of | grave case, the
 court was seen to move uneasily In his

The Exchange Bar.

Tn the Montgomery visitor no place
 was better known than the Exchange har. Perhaps the old Exchange par was better known that the New EN- change bar. because the old Excnanse bar had sorvod patrons for two gener- stiona. But for the past two years there has been no handsomer or better appointed saloon than the New FIX change bar It was the place TOT which Birmingham visitors for the past year broke first when they came 70 Montgomery. And guests from tne North and from the South strolled In here after they had registered. but inasmuch as there has not been many political conventions or many sesslons of the Legislature since the New Ex- change has been built 1t did not have the association or the atmosphere or the old Exchange bar. which Is well remembered by the older school or Alabama politicians.
 A little further down is the Silver Dollar Saloon which in three years made its reputation. The chief feature of the Silver Dollar was Joe Aoranams, head barkecper, who was prominent in municipal politics. Joe was known to countless Montgomerians and he had wide Acauaintance among Alabamians who come to Montgomery and who go into saloons notwithstanding the be- lief of their neigh bors that they would be shocked at the very Idea of such thing. The Silver Dollar was so called because the saloon was paved with lS to i dollars
 A block further down was Freddie Rudolphrs place, sacred 10 the memory of theatrical people. A fne restaurant was run in connection with the place and if a patron wanted cocktail or beer he could get quickly and easily. While a number of Montgomery people patronized the place it was looked up- on as devoted largely to the actors and actresses who visited Montgomery.
 And passing his place the wholesale district was entered, a district which until prohibition became effective, supplied large part of Alabama.

This was the especial place of the young fellows or tne city, .ns prosperous looking young fellows with impressive clothes and neatly pressed trousers. But this place had also q large patronage from the business and professional men of the city. It might be said without violating confidence that this saloon during sessions or the Legislature was more largely pat ronized by Senators and Hepresenta- tives than any other place in the city. No exception iS made In the case or the last Legislature.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-10-06

In 1889 the American Agricultur-
alist's contest in corn growing, open
to the world, took place. In this
contest Captain Zachariah Jordan
Drake of Marlboro county, South
Carolina, won the grand prize. The
Book of Corn, the standard au-
thority in the United States on corn
growing, thus tells of this yield:
From a single acre Mr.. Drake
grew 255 bushels of shelled corn,
1000 of crib-cured corn. Late in
February 1000 bushels of stable
manure and 500 pounds each of ma
nipulated guano, cottonseed meal
and KANT were broadcasted on the
acre, and then plowed under. Fol-
lowing the pillow 600 bushels of
whole cottonseed were strewn in the
burrows. A subsoil pillow was run
through a depth of twelve inches.
The land was we'll narrowed and the
rows planted alternately March IND,
three and six feet apart.
IAN improved strain of the COM
mon gourd variety of southern white
dent corn was planted, five or six
kernels being dropped to each foot
of the row. 1t was planted in the
rows five inches deep but covered
only one inch. At the first hoeing
the plants were thinned to one stalk
every five or six inches, the missing
spots replanted. On April goth the
sixfoot spaces were plowed and
mixture of 200 pounds each of qua
no, KANT, cottonseed meal, acid
phosphate and bone were applied and
hoed in. On May 18th the three
foot spaces were plowed, 800 pounds
of nitrate of soda sown and worked
in. On May 25th 200 pounds of qua
no were applied in the wide spaces.
Another application of 500 pounds
of guano, cottonseed meal and kali
nit was put on June Sth, and 100
pounds nitrate of soda June 11th.
The crop was harvested November
25th. 1t yielded 17,407 pounds of
corn in the ear, of which 1O4 pounds
was soft corn. Several tests showed
that 100 pounds of ear corn yielded
90 pounds of shelled corn, which
