 FORMED IN MOBILE

Mobile, December 22-(special.) )-If the suggestion made by B. B. Cox, secretary of the Mobile Commercial club, is carried out, this city will soon have a full fedged Two Hundred-Pounder club, organized along the same line in a great measure as the organization of heavyweights that has assisted in making New Orleans fa- nous, and of which President Taft is an honorary member.

 Because of the dry weather during the entire fall, local peach growers are of the opinion that the crop for the coming year will be extremely light. The lack of moisture has kept the buds from ma turing properly, and this is bound to in- terfere with the proper fruiting of the trees.
 Turkeys for the Christmas holidays are very scarce in this city, and the price is much higher than it has been in years. A good young 10 or 12-pound turkey sells readily at $2 and the larger ones bring more in proportion. Eggs are also a scarce article, and those fresh from the yards of the poultryman are commanding 40 cents or better. Hay and the grains are somewhat lower than in former years, but all other products of the farm are be- ing sold at exceptionally good prices.

PRIZE FARMER

Cullman. December .22-- Special )-- That the men who plead guilty to the charges of violations of the prohihi- ton laws in Cullman circuit court made mistake has been evidenced by re- cent results of the men who had the nerve to stand trial in some of their cases. The men who preferred to have jury act on their cases were Joe Baier and John Feihler, both men being &C., quilted of the charge. Several of the other men went before Judge Speake in the early part of the week and plead guilty to two charges, accepting fines of $50 in each case and a six months sentence for each offense, the judge agreeing to suspend the hard labor sentence pending good behavior.
 It seems to be almost an utter im- possibility to convict. for this offense. While theoretically the men may be guilty in every case, yet no witness who has ever yet been put on the stand in this county has ever been able to testify absolutely to the fact that the men so charged had really sold them whisky or beer. The fault cannot be laid to either the jury or the witnesses. The fact that they purchased what was commonly known as a "cold bottle" was the only thing that could be brought out in the evidence and no one was able to testify absolutely as to what the said "cold bottle" con- tained. so jury could not be expected to do otherwise than to find verdict of mot guilty"

field worthy of us, nor can we be sat
isfied with the plains of Troy. A glo-
rious strife seems waging within us,
yet so noiselessly that we but just
catch the sound of the clarion ring

breeze There are in each the seeds
of an heroic ardor, which need only
to be stirred in with the soil where
they lie, by an inspired voice or pen,
to bear fruit of divine favor.--Tho-
