purchasers announce their intention
of converting the place into large
stock farm. The consideration was
$4,000. The deal was closed through
the Natchez District Development Co,
large local real estate dealers.
The purchasers have a large stock
farm at Blytheyille. Ark, but they are
so well pleased with their investment
here that all the stock and equipment
of the Arkansas farm will be moved
to Adams county. A steamboat will
be chartered for this purpose. The
stock farm will be developed to breed

This is the second large land deal

TOMATO CROP LATE.

Crystal Springs, Miss, May 49,
Regarding the vegetable outlook in
Mississippi Lotterhos & Hubes says:
after sixteen days of drought this
section was visited the night of May

rain next morning; since that time,
no rain has fallen. Temperature,
earlier part of the week was rather
cool and partly cloudy.
while few tomato plants have

yer dollar, yet the greater portion
have only very small fruit, while they
are so late cor backward" that they
are only now setting their first clus-
tiers of blooms. Weather was too
cool and cloudy during the greater
part of the week for them to make
great progress. Earlier estimates of
first cars not being ready for ship
ment until June 5, still hold good
The crop, as a whole, is ten to four
teen days later than usual, though
not much later than the past two sea-
sons when the crop has been rather
late. For a while the plants grew too
rapidly and as result the percentage
of deformed or cracked tomatoes will
be rather large which will cause the
quantity actually shipped to be rather
light, acreage considered: at least
such appears to be the situation at
this time. Plants are as vigorous and
healthy looking as could be desired;
the understandable fruit referred to
is the result of too rapid growth.
Cabbage is growing rapidly and is
fine but the crop is so backward, as
previously reported, that the move
ment is very light, only few ears
having been shipped daily this week.
1t is thought that heavy movement
will not begin until next Friday and
possibly not then.
Peas have been going forward in
only moderate quantities this week,
and not many more yet to be shipped.
Only few late paintings.
Beans will not be shipped in lib
eral quantities until about June 5, the
light movement may begin about ten
days hence. Present weather condi-
tons are quite favorable, though
rather cool and cloudy first of the
week.
"Beets and carrots just beginning
to go forward. Comparatively light

three thousand hampers having been

DANUBE IN HISTORY.
River Has Always Been Great
Highway Of Commerce.
osrdsneIIes Has Ever Been Looked
Upon az the Real Mouth Of the
Great Waterway Of Eastern
Europe, With Reason.

Probably most Americans know
more about the Danube as the subject
of a popular waltz than as a historic
highway of commerce and strategic
frontier. Perhaps some Of our read
ers were astonished to learn that the
allied fleets are Opening the mouth
of the Danube" by forcing the Darda'
nelles. They know that thef Danube
empties into the Black sea and cannot
understand the statement Technical
ly, they are correct, but. the Phila.
delphia Inquirer says, from time imme-
mortal the Dardanelles has. been
looked upon as the real mouth OF the
great river of eastern Europe, and Tor
the best Of reasons.
In his will Caesar Augustus ex-
pressed wish that Roman conquests
should never proceed north of the
Danube. He had succeeded in max
ing that river a strategic frontier by
adding chain of forts which extended
to the Swiss Alps. Behind this barrier
were uuhuOWu AOIuCS VI ooSo6CS 0nN
barbarians who were certain at some
time by economic pressure or by a
restless spirit to assault the integrity
of the empire, and Augustus foresaw
that any extension beyond this from
tier would be dangerous. Unhappily,
his advice was not accepted, although
the reasons for a forward movement
seemed excellent at the time. The
imperial legions crossed the Danube,
and the name Roumania remains as
relic of their forward movement. 1t
proved a fatal mistake, for pretty soon
the Danube became the danger spot
of the empire and the seat of the gov
eminent was transferred to Byzanti-
UNI, the modern Constantinople. Grad
ually the Roman empire divided and
fell under the oncoming rush Of
Goths, but the struggle along the
Danube has continued to this day.
Hun and Turk entered Europe along
this great highway and were with Diff
ficulty turned back at Vienna. Since
that time the Balkan question, with
it's control of the great river, has been
dominant in European politics, and
never was more important than today.
