ipally Colombia and Dutch Guiana. 2
million from Cuba, and abou. one mill
ion from other countries. Costa Rica
is the largest source of supply in Gen.
trail America, Honduras second and
Panama third, and Jamaica is the larg-

Islands. The United States is the
worlds largest importer of bananas.
The United Kingdom is the next larg-
est importer.
Practically the entire banana supply
of the United States comes from
abroad. Efforts have been made from
time to time to develop the banana in
dustry in the extreme south and in Cal
ifornia, but the domestic production is
inconsiderable when compared with the
importations.

SCHOOLS AND FOOLS"

''The name of my lecture suits

D. Upshaw, the Georgia Cyclone,
for you have such splendid schools
and so few FOOLS"
Mr.. Upshaw, who is a favorite in
Grenada, charmed his audience at the
court house last Monday night, with his
magnificent lecture, "Schools and
Fools" The speakers general theme
was education, and the lecture aboun-
ded in solid fun and solid sense. He
talked about the town fool, the coun-
try fool, the aimless fool, the ignorant
fool, the bachelor fool, the stingy fool
and the foolish fool who says with the
fool mentioned in the Bible says
in his heart. "There is no Cod"
The speaker closed with an origi.
nal poem, "a Midnight Reverie," or
the handiwork of God, that was sub
timely beautiful.
1t is to be regretted that every man
woman and child in Grenada did no
hear this entertaining and uplifting lee

COTTON CLAIMS.
How to Collect Them Under Recent
Act Of Congress.

This law does not give right to all
persons whose cotton was taken by the
United States authorities to recover its
value. 1t is confined to cotton taken
after June l, 1865. The recovery is
limited to the net proceeds in the treas
ury arising from the sale of the cotton.
No claimant can get anything if his
cotton was burned, stolen or other
wise lost in transit, or unless record
is found showing that some proceeds in
the treasury resulted from the sale of
his cotton. All expenses of collection,
transportation and sale are deducted.
The official records of the treasury
department show that the total amount
in the treasury as proceeds of cotton
taken after June /, 1865, is S4,886,67l.
The law does not provide directly for
payment. 1t merely opens tribunal
where claims can be considered. Ev-
cry claim presented to the court OF
claims is separate lawsuit. The Gov
ernment is represented by experienced
attorneys employed especially for this
purpose, who will raise and present ev-
cry defense which their intimate knowl.
edge of the subject matter may sug'
gest. It is almost the universal expe
rience that many more defenses are in
terposed than can be anticipated at thu
beginning of the prosecution of any
claim.
A defense which will be vigorousl,
urged is that the cotton taken was th'
property of the Confederate govern
ment. The records of the Confederate
treasury department show that manl
planters sold cotton to the Confederate
government and received Confederate
bonds in exchange. The supreme cour
of the United States has held that thi
transfers title to the Confederate gov
ernment and defeats the claim of tn
original owner.
Where this defense is presented an
supported by official records, evidenc
must be interposed TO meet it. t.-Cotto

them. They helped me wonderfully,
not only removing the pain and lame

A Good Church Fair Suggestion
Something Unique.

The other day attended a church
entertainment called ''Jewel Ba-
zaar." There were seven simply, but
beautifully decorated booths, the pre-
dominating color in each being that out
of the gem which it was chosen to rep
resent; the Diamond booth in white,
the Emeral in green, the Amethyst in
purple, and so forth. All the articles
of a certain kind, as for instance,
aprons, were not gathered together in
one large booth, but, in e .
all articles whose predominating color
was some shade of red or pink could be
found at the Ruby booth; everything
in shade Of blue, whether light or
dark, at the Sapphire booth; all the
yellow and brown things at the Topaz
booth. The articles in which no one
color predominated over all the others
were sold at the Opal booth, and all
the eatables, except certain candies,
used to decorate the other booths, were
sold at the Opal booth, also.
Each booth was in charge of com
mittee and each committee tried to get
the best selection of articles for its
booth. The Amethyst booth was es
pecially lovely and it was antonishinl
to see how many purple and Lavender
things that committee had managed t.
secure. 1t was new and interesting tC
the people here to have different kinds
of articles at each booth. Those wht
came to the bazaar for some specia
thing had to look for it from booth t.
booth and, in consequence, frequently
bought other things which they nigh
never have noticed under the old plan
The fair was we'll advertised before

moons and evenings, and at about S:3

Should Be Taken in This Worthy
Organization.


dropped in for moment at the direc
tory room of the Grenada Bank, and
found the Civic League in session. OF
course, remained for few moments
to note what was going on. 1t was
certainly an encouraging sight. They
were discussing, among other import
ant things, the mater of cleaning and
beautifying our city. The discussion
was animated; and when learned what
was proposed. and noticed the limited
number present, l wondered in my soul
if that was all the women in our hun
dreds who had interest enough in their
own town to clean and wash it up.
dare say, very few, if any, of the alb
sentees would be willing to show cor
responding Indifference to their own
homes or premises, and yet my dear
women friends, the town after all is
but your larger home, the big yard, so
to speak, of your premises. AS one of
the leaguers remarked, "The men are
the wage-earners and builders of our
municipality; but we are the house
keepers. And it is true. Now there
is so much to be done: signs to come
down, waste paper baskets to go up or
corners, grass to be cut from walks
flowers and ferns to go in here anC
there, unsigh,ly fences to be removed
men to be prayed for who spit tobacco
juice recklessly around, and just no enc
of things that only woman can dt
successfully, and that by keeping per
sistentlv at it. In the multitude o
counsel there is wisdom, and in man.
hands lies the power of progress.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness; S.

your presence. Those who attend al
: ways leave the session with something
