The package checks out as follows, all in good cond- tion so far as our agrarian Knowledge is able to ascertain: Carrot, lettuce, okra, radish and watermelon
 Mir. Underwood is very kind in his re- membrance, and we shall do all in our power to recprocate in practical express sion of appreciation.
 We will plant the watermelon seed in the geranum pots on the window sihs and the carrots in the cellar. We have crowded the lettuce and okra on a bed be- tween the coal house and the hen coop while tine radishes have been planted in nice little rows in circles around the eIe- plants ear in the front yard. We hope to lave nice fresh vegetable dinner for Christmas Day and would De tickfed to death to have MT. Underwood as . guest on that occasion
 President A. H. Ford of the Chamber oi Commerce has long contended that the people of the Birmingham district should produce their food crops, and as a. pub lic-spirited citizen we propose to do our part, and especially since Congressman Underwood has been kind and thoughtful enough to furnish the seed.
 If we are successful with Mr. Under woods seed this winter we may be en- couraged to go back to the farm where we will have more elbow room next spring. Mir Underwood failed to inclose inslfuc- tions to planting and cultivation, but in the same mail that brought the seed we received department bulletin on Rem edies for the San Jose Scale" which we will read carefully, ss.ssss E.
 We have already issued invitations for a watermelon cutting on New Years Day.

Milton are still repeating their sue
cesses, and their popularity shows no
signs of diminishing; on the contrary,
# increases as time goes on, and they

and do. G. w. Stanley has become a
favorite, and should continue so. The
