The South Progress
erwise.

There is now a larger movement OF
population southwark than ever before.
The south is attracting the attention of
the outside world, and the natural adj
vantages of this section are being widely
discussed. The railroads traversing the
south and the commercial bodies in the
principal cities are today putting forth
systematic efforts to exploit southern re-
sources that were little in evidence a
few years ago. The Wall Street Jour-
nal says: People who have not kept in
touch with the progress of developments
in most Of the southern states will be
surprised to find how much is really be-
ing accomplished, even at this time when
business is supposed to be moving along
at a rather slow rate. The only feat
ure of southern enterprise which appears
to be at all below normal is cotton manu-
featuring. The railroads are generally
gaining ground. There is active building
in the traction field to connect cities By
electrical lines. single project of subur-
ban construction extended from Ander-
son, S. c., to Durham, n. c., involves
an expenditure of $4,000, ooo."
The Journal then suggests that probably
the most encouraging feature of the
south's new development is the extent to
which local capital and labor find their
way into the smaller enterprises; and it
changes have called for banks. for in
surance companies, for building organiza-
lions and for various other forms of util-
ization of surplus resources, which come
with departure from a purely agricultural
to a rapidly growing Industrial and COM
mercial organization of the community.
With these have come the evolution of
variety of talent among the people, evil
dent in the capacity with which these en-
terprises and institutions have in the
main been conducted. The field of oppor-
tunity for business talent in the south
has become one of the most inviting
among the many afforded by country of
manifold opportunities
The Wall Street Journal, always alert
and proverbially accurate, in its presenta-
ton of facts, has a singularly clear ap-
prehension of the south's advantages and
the south's industrial progress. In south
ern manufacturing centers improvements
in recent years have been rapid; and
here in the Birmingham district indus
trial development has been and will con-
tinue to be on a scale of great magni-
tude.
What is especially needed in the district.
and what the Birmingham Chamber. of
Commerce is working for, is more truck
farming within radius of 10 or Is miles
of this city. Instead of the rs or 100 pros
porous truck farmers found hereabouts
now, there should be several thousand.
The United States soil surveys report on
Jefferson county shows that everything
cultivated successfully in other parts of
the country can be raised near Brming-
ham. And the market is here. Almost the
entire south is fertile and should attract
homeseekers in vast numbers. No state
offers better inducements than Alabama,
and no part of the south holds out quite
such strong attractions for the intelligen.
and Industrious horticulturist as this
county of Jefferson.

Passing of the ThOroughbrcd

1.-THE changed order of things as to the
present compared with the past is marked
in many ways here in the SOUTH but |
am struck with the passing of the old
time race horse" said a man who takes
much interest in horses.
THE race track at New Orleans, noted
for the greatest endurance races ever run,
has been closed. The gamblers, race
horse ringers and the quick action
fellows are to blame. In the days be-
fore the war. when such horses as Lex
ington ran four four-mile heats or 1e
miles TO win three in five race, il
took horses. And since the war there
have been a few endurance races, such
Tenbroeck and Matte McCarty, which
drew thousands from all over the south
and hundreds from the north; but there
are no horses today like the great tho
oughbreds of the sos, Cos and 70s. Now
it is a sprinter of five-eighths of a mile
or a runner of a mile and q half race
and one time only.
II pine for the dear dead days of the
south-old-time religion, old liquors and
the old-fashoned thoroughbred, ridden
by a negro boy. that went four miles
and repeat at least twice, and some
times three times, to win a race that
was race-the sport of kings. run by
kings and queens of the turf"

DIR. stnsg at His Old Church

The Rev. DIR. John W. Stage, presider.
of the Presbyterian college at Admission,
spent yesterday in Birmingham. He

Mr. Long freely admits that all people
are not alike-that what suits one per-
son might not suit the next one. Each
individual must, tn erefore, determine
his own food supply. Mr.. Long learned
to do his own cooking in the far west,
and he continues to do it at Harvard.
He pays at Harvard S1A cents week
for his room, and kitchen privileges are
included. He does not consider stimu-
lants or narcotics immoral, but he docs
not need then in reaching a high phys
ical condition, and he, therefore, cut
them out.
For breakfast Mr.. Long prefers a
bowl of oatmeal with milk and sugar
and corn bread. For luncheon he eats
boiled rice. hominy or boiled corn, with
milk and sugar and bread ard butter.
For dinner his choice is ordinarily a
soft-boiled egg with plenty of Irish po-
tatoes and bread and butter. In the
evening he sometimes desires a fourth
meal, consisting of apples or peanuts,
or both, his plan being to keep a supply
of these on hand. Buying his food in
bulk and at the lowest market prices,
by careful selection, he does his own
cooking and finds it possible to make a
satisfactory number of variations from
the bill of fare quoted, his staples be-
Ing plentiful supply of oatmeal, brown
sugar, milk, bread, butter, rice, molas-
ses, corn meal, buttermilk, eggs, pota-
toes, salt, pepper. etc, and peanuts.

of An Encouraging Nature

Henry Clews in his Saturday review
says in part
THE improving tendencies intmated in
last weeks advices have been confirmed
by moderate recovery in values which
has taken place since then. Recent de-
velopments have certainly been of a more
encouraging nature, and while the stu
alton is not without it's perplexities and
drawbacks, still favorable factors pre-
vail for the time being. Chief among
these is the crop outlook. Some attempt
70 create alarm was made by the profess
sIonal crop-killers, who caused tenn
porary furry in both stock and wheat
by the circulation Of exaggerated damage
reports; but the latter met with prompt
denial by more reliable authorities, and
exerted only a passing influence. 1t
should be remembered that this is the
season when the crop-killer exercises his
most pernicous activities, and all sem
cations of this character should be guard
being carried away by false alarms, be-
cause the government now publishes very
elaborate weather reports in the daily
newspapers. and the study of these would
prove an important check upon this in
| sidious foe of the farmer and business
man alike AS matter of fact the crop
outlook for the country at large is quite
satisfactory, and with the advent of
higher temperatures is improving daily.
Some damage has been done to spring
wheat. which early rains and increased
acreage will probably offset; but the out
/! look is for big corn crop, also for q

FOUND BOYS COLONY
Representative of the North
Western Road Endeavor-
ing to Secure Location for
Boys Colony.

M. w. HOLSTER, the travelling
agent for the North Western
road, was in Eagle River vester-
day looking for a suitable loca-
tion on one of the lakes in this
vicinity for the founding of a
bows colony. Mr.. HOLSTER
states that there are several men
in various parts of the south who
are planning such a step for the
benefit of their boys. They pro-
pose to have the boys instructed
in woodcraft, boating and swim
ming and similar accomplish
ments. Suitable buildings are
to be erected, including a well
equipped gymnasium, ap@ the
grounds are to be laid out for
open air sports like base ball and
tennis. Should the plan mater
ia1ize it is expected that it will
deyeloP into something similar
to the Kewaskum club at Mercer
and similar stunts will be per
formed by the boys, such as the
10O-mile hike" taken by the
Kewaskum club when they made
Eagle River On their jaunt this
summer, and canoe trips Of q
week or more on the lakes.
The gentlemen interested in
this proposition are considering
another location in the state Of
Virginia but the NORTH Western
road is trying to interest them
in Villas county. 1t is to be
hoped they will succeed and it is
also hoped that the business men
Of Eagle River will make an
earnest effort to secure the loca-
tion of this club.

Greatest Number of Licenses.

Villas county hunters were
more numerous this season than
any time since the county was
set off from Oneida. + unting
licenses to the pumbsr of 1895
were issued this year by County
Clerk Bradford as against 954
licenses last year. AS the law
allows the hunter three days
grace in which to. ship his deer
after the season closes, it is
therefore impossible to state the
number of deer killed in this Sec

this he had expressed a desire to
cross Cranberry lake with his
sons, Horace and Fred, but did
not go as he feared the ice was
not strong enough to support
the sleigh and felt the walk
would 5e little too long. After
the boys had gone he sat down
in chair and later lay down on
the bed. Mrs. Fred Tilden went
to him shortly after and noticed
that he did not seem to breathe
although his pulse was still beat
ing. She became alarmed and
sent Fred Jensen for his sons, but
the old gentleman had passed
away before they could return
home.

I'll. He first came to this sec
ton about twelve years ago,
after which he divided his time
between his sens resort here
and his home in Elgin, until
about four years ago when he
and his wife came to reside here
permanently.
Mr.. Tilden is survived by his
wife and four sons: Louis of Cali
fornia; Charles Qf Fox Lake, Ill,
and Hoga.ce and Fred of the Ill
den resort east OF this place.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at 1870 this morning at the
house by Rev. R. E. Moss of the
Congregational church, inter
meut taking place in the village
cemetery.
MIR. Tilden was man who
lived a very active life and could
not be contented long without
being busy at some kind of work,
He was a companionable man
with fund of "Reminiscences
drawn from his varied expert
ences and would entertain his
friends for hours with thesetales.
His stories, told in his quaint
tEew England accent, were a
source of delight to his hearers.
