A NEW WAY TO GROW POTATOES

The True Democrat has a two.
pound sweet potato on exhibition in
its office which, perhaps, has not an
equal as a curiosity, for it was grown
without ever having come in contact
with the soil of the earth. DR.. Gum,
Tallahassee's noted negro physician,
some months ago thoughtlessly threw
a small potato on an ash pile in his
yard, other ashes were added and the
potato covered up, and additions
were constantly made to the pile. In
complying with the cleanup Ordi-
nance a few days ago, the ash pile
was removed, and in the center there
was found the fine potato which we
have on exhibition and a half dozen
tubers of lesser size.-Tallahassee

Including the 100000 gift from
her grandfather, d. o. Mills, the
London town house, which is to- be
purchased later, and the gorgeous ar
ray of Jewels. old silver and costly
bric-a-brac, it is estimated that the
wedding presents of Miss Beatrice
Mills. whose marriage to the Earl of
Granard was celebrated Thursday af-
ternoon, were wonderfully handsome.
The ceremony was performed by
Bishop Cusack in the Louis XIV. ball
room of the Mills residence, 2 East
sixty-ninth street, at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon.
A temporary altar had been erect
ed and chairs for 25O were placed III

satin Empire gown, brocaded with
velvet in a floral design. The long
court train was embellished with the
old point d'Alencon lace worn by the
brides mother at her wedding, and
the veil of the same lace was held in
place by a wreath of orange blossoms.
The brides attendants included
four little girls, daughters Of Moses
Taylor CORTLAND Field Bishop, Clar-
ence H. MacKay and Colonel John
Jacob Astor. They wore caps Of
white lace and white liberty satin
frocks, covered with silver lace, and
carried baskets Of pink roses.
The Hon. Donald Forbes, the Earl
of Granards brother, acted as best
man, and the ushers included Messrs.
Ogden L. Mills, brother of the bride;

DON'T TAKE THE RISK

When you have a cough or cold
don't let it drag along until it be-
comes chronic bronchitis, or develops
into an attack of pneumonia, but give
it the attention it deserves and get
rid Of it. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and you are sure of prompt
relief. From a small beginning the
sale and use of this preparation has
extended to all parts Of the United
States and to many foreign countries.
Its many remarkable cures of coughs
and colds have won for it this wide
reputation and extensive use. Sold

his own efforts.
Trees and bushes have found foot
holds on the sides and the place pre-
sents a very pretty picture. AS no
one, looking down the steep sides to
the blacklooking water. can help i'm
agining how he would feel if he
should tumble down there, the place
has a fascination which, added to its
strange beauty, impresses a picture
on the mind of the beholder that re-
mains vivid for years. Yet compare
lively few people have ever seen the
place and no photograph of it has
been taken as far as we know.
The great age of the sink hole is
proved by a deep ravine that the
drain water from the surrounding
land has worn first through sand and
yellow clay, then through blue clay,
then through limestone to the sink.
The rims of parts of the deepest
channel have closed together, forming
short tunnel too narrow to admit
of entering.
The writer viewed this place last on
January and found yellow jessa-
mines in bloom on the walls of the
sink-a month earlier than they will
appear on the surface of the land.
Terraces could be constructed on the
sides and the deep, rich, well-draioed
soil would produce the choicest fruits
