OPPORTUNITY
FOR GROWER Of
GARDEN TRUCK
CROPS OF ALL KINDS EASILY
RAISED AND MARKET ALREADY
AT HAND.

There is a golden opportunity await
ing the grower of garden truck in
Franklin county, for the demand is
heavy and the supply small. Although
there are a number in the truck bust
ness, the amount they produce is
nothing compared to the demand OF
Apalachicola and CarraDeIIe alone, to
say nothing Of the immense territory
which is easily reached from either
point. Land suitable for vegetables
may be had at the present time, with
in easy reach of the larger towns, for
from $40 to $50 per acre, and as good
land a little further away may be Dur-
chased for as low as So And there
are thousands of acres OF this land,
simply awaiting the magic touch of
the farmer.
The staple crops-corn. cotton,
sweet potatoes and the liIe-do eXCep-
tionally WELL and those who have tried
the raising OF other vegetables upon
commercial basis have invariably
made a success of it. Tomatoes do
we'll and may be grown IN quantities
sufficient for canning purposes-but
as yet there are no Canneries. Celery,
flower. asparagus, beets. Bermuda on
ions-in fact every crop of this de-
scription does we'll anywhere in
Franklin county, And two crops,
sometimes three, may be grown with
ease.
An effort is being made. both by the
railroads and by individuals who own
large tracts, to induce farmers to
settle in Franklin county. Those who
are already there are Going we'll and
the county has enough available land
TO support many thousand families.

airy experiences In Africa. He helped
to establish the mission station at Lu

Great White lake. Here, with unfail

the uttermost parts Of Africa, drawing
the natives to him from far distant
places. On the woman question be u
particularly interesting. He became
aware Of a secret society which -four

the idea which the civilized world has
Of the place Of woman in Africa, but.
as Mr.. Crawford says, nearly every
thing there is reversed, according -
white notions.

No Need for Increased

mendment providing for an increase
Ia the number Of justices Of the ca
preme court at an additional expendi

less than $4,000.

If Knoxville. Tenn, should be made

guess that the city win get anything
else that is within reach.
Office Seekers Persistent.
The more jobs provided the larger
the crop Of office seekers. Taking the
deputy collectors out Of the civil serv
ice. keeping the income tax collectors
out Of the civil service and the EN-
ployees under the new curreacy act
has only whetted the appetite Of the
