Period After Civil War.

"After the civil war many important
matters of governmental progress were
lost sight OF in the pressure of set
thing the land, making money and re-
coupling losses. but the people finally
began to realize that the machinery of
the government had practically come
into the hands of few people, and
that the means Of wealth as we'll as
the reins of government were held
fast in the grasp of these few. And
then they set about to change the
conditions by their ballots and the re
suits OF their efforts have seen in
these years of the recent past.
1.-The big mill and factory owners
used to practically compel their men
to vote as they dictated; then came the
Australian ballot and now no man
knows how the individual voter fills
1T out. But. after all, this mattered
little to the interests long as they
still selected the candidates on both
tickets. and they We're content. Then
came the revolt against the old con-
vention system and direct primaries
marked another step forward
"Thus the people have gained stronger
and firmer hold on their government and
more and more has steadily been accom-
plished in the name of truth and civic
Righteousness and independence.

Cars Of Strawberries

engaged in the strawberry business,
they have now a prospect for fully
forty carloads for this season from
their 175 acres devoted to this fruit,
with every assurasce of 100 car loads
next season.
This crop is being grown on cut-over
pine land of average quality for this
section, by expert Italian growers,
from the Louisiana strawberry sec
tions of Hammond and independence.
The recent frosts have somewhat
delayed the time when carlot ship
ments can be made which delays ear
ly picking, but will not cut the crop
short as only a small proportion of the
earliest blossoms were killed, which
only delays early picking but does
not lessen the size of the crop.
This Sanford experiment in straw
berry growing on large scale has
been looked upon with much keen
interest by those who We're anxious
to know, il the growing of small fruits
in this section could be made success-
