This year it is estimated that 10000
Americans viii come into the country.
They will take up between 10000 and
| $4,000 homesteads, and as it is consid-
cred that they bring property to the
average value of 81 900 each, this will
give a total new capital of SIC, 900, 900.
In 1907, the year in which we had our
greatest volume of immigration, there
were 17S,500 British and Americans as
compared with $4,000 from the CONT
nent of Europe. For the last year
there were 100000 British and Ameri.
cans and not a third as many from
Europe.

 zens Has Passed Away.

 Of his immediate family he leaves three sons: J. c. w. Smith and Dr. T. w. Smith of Union, Ala, Dr. Frank C. Smith of Alpine, Ala, and one daughter-Mrs. John M. Webb of this city.
 Funeral services will be held this even- ing from his late residence and interment will take place at the Union cemetery. The Rev. pr. A. R. Moore of this city, The Rev Dr. A. R. Moon of this city ices.

 No, it's still to warm for either" I said, humoring her and seeing the utter futilty of trying to entertain her with gossip or anything of that kind. But I'll tell you what we have had-the most delicious milk and butter and

T never used to care much for things to eat" said the convalescent. "In fact l thought 1t quite plebian to ever men tion things like that I've gone many a time to Recourse dinner and would not eat enough to keep bird alive, but just wait till you have typhoid fever, and you'll know what an appetite means and how nothing else under the Lords sun can interest you but food. Spare ribs and roast apples. Oh, gracious. 1t sounds like mama or whatever it was that was sent from heaven to feed the Israelites How l wish l had some ham and eggs!"
 A happy thought struck me, that might divert her attention as she spoke of the latter combination, and I said: q have a conundrum to ask you-yes, it's about something to eat. What is the affinity between a darkey and a chicken? Can you answer it?"
 No, but I'm terribly interested be- cause it's about chicken she said.
 Give it up? Well, then, darkey is descended from Ham, and a chicken from eggs. Now, isn't that clever?" I asked.
 Very, but it would be so much cleverer If l only had as much as I could eat"
 And just as we were having our little laugh over our joke the pretty, blue uniformed nurse came in with the daint- lest of trays, on which was delicious looking glass of milk and something else which looked like the white of an egg with crushed ice.
 The convalescent hid her head in the pillows and made the ugliest of faces. but the nurse-"monarch of all she sur yeyed'-winked at me, as a ginal for my departure, and said sweetly to her patti ent
 Come now, it's time for you to take your nourshment," and as I departed heard murmurings of something about, Don't talk to me about ambrosia for the gods. I'd rather have hash and beef steak and onions and sweet potatoes than anything on earth"
