PUBLIC OPINION OF THE TOMATO.

1t is not generally known, but never
theless a fact, that there are people still
living who can remember the time when
tomatoes were raised merely for their
beauty as we now raise roses. While
its beauty was admired it was consid-
cred like the poisonous oak, dangerous
to even handle except bv Ozark com
pieted5 81 lS persons T Years - of ae0 acausint- amt
anceship, however, wore off its super
stition and few 'fool-hardy" actually
owned up to having tasted the fruit.
From this small beginning has gradually
grown use that makes today an indus
try with a combined capital of over
thirty millions of dollars, which disburses
millions of dollars to its employees each
year and aggregates an output of two
hundred and forty million cans.

Winter Duplicate
Of l83@-3 Says
County Pioneer.

This talk about never having seen
such winter before is all right for
those who haven't lived here very
long," said Hiram Hammond. the pio-
neer miller of the county. and head Of
the Hammond & Sons milling firm at
LeGrand.
Mr.. Hammond was in the city Thurs
day afternoon, en- route to OskalOosa.
where he spent the day on business.
This winter is an exact duplicate
Of the winter Of 1885," continued
Mr.. Hammond. Il remember it 50 we'll
because it is the first winter spent at
LeGrand. We had an open winter.
with warm. dry weather, turnout the
entire winter months The roads were
hard, smooth, and dry all winter. and
thdre was no snow. I remember well
walking to Marshalltown on Christmas
day without an overcoat, and was too
warm for comfort as it was. II my
recollection serves me right history has
not repeated itself since 1875 until
this winter. We have had many open
winters in this time, but all Of them
have had some severe weather"
