Quarterly Meeting at Obion Chapel

Our Quarterly meeting at Obion Chap.
ell last Saturday was one of the best at
tended, enjoyable and all round sue
cessful ones that we have had for years.
The spiritual tone was splendidly inspir-
ing and the spirit of confidence, good
will and resolution for progress was re-
assuring.
Bro. w. G. Waters, our much APP
preciated presiding elder, delivered to
us one of those broad, liberal, forceful,
thoughtful, truth surcharged and spir-
itual sermons Of which he is so capable
of presenting.
Bro. Waters sermons are especially
adapted to thoughtful people and we'll
calculated to enlighten the mind, elevate
the feelings, stimulate the nobler i'm
pulses and arouse to noble activity, Bro.
Waters has that directness, plainness
and candor OF style as speaker that
Montaign has as a writer. Bro. Waters
utterances seem in special and en-
phatic way to represent the man. He
is in his sermons, and still more, you
feel that the spirit of God is also in them.
Bro. Waters fills the pulpit we'll in
two WAYS: as an unusually able preacher
and an unusually large man, towering
above his fellows like King Saul of Israel
or Xerxes, King of Persia, who was the
tallest and handsomest man in all his
kingdom.
1t certainly is not uncomplimentary
for man to be large, for large intellects
and moral parts more often, l believe,
belong to very large than to very small
men. Mr.. Beecher was once booming
away in the pulpit when a gentleman
in the audience exclaimed, What a
fine animal" And it was Mr.. Beecher
who told his janitor that if he saw any
of his audience asleep to come up in
in the pulpit and wake up the preacher.
Mr.. Webster once being in England, a
facetious Englishman described him
as appearing like a steam engine in
breecbes. Abraham Lincoln, who is
second to no American, in my opinion,
was six feet four inches tall.
l will digress a little further: Mr..
Lincoln, while President, was one day
in crowd at Washington when two
rather gawky young fellows indicated
that they wished to speak to the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Lincoln, in that fine, good
natured way of his that always condo
scended to be perfectly familiar with
even the humblest, inquired what they
wished. One of the young men replied

Jacksonville, June 2-There were
1872 cars of grapefruit and 143 cars

movement was three cars heavier
than the week prvious, yet shipments
this week will be considerably light
err About the only variety of fruit
now moving is the Valencia, which.
for this season of the year, is of ex-
cellent quality. very sweet and full
OF juice. Some other varieties show
effects of warm weather and are
not up to the usual standard of
Florida fruit. Oranees and grape
fruit are in good demand, especially
for fruit of desirable sizes and prop
erly graded. There is a strong de-
mand or oranges in the southern
markets and prices are as good as
any previous season at this time of
the year. Growers are now giving
their attention to vegetables, mel
ons and cantaloupes and the citrus
fruit deal is side issue.

FIRST GEORGIA PEACHES

Fort Valley, Ga, June 2-It is es-
timated that the Georgia peach crop
will run from $500 to 5000 cars
! The season will open June and
end about August 20 to 25.
The first shipments made out of
the state were two crates of the
Mayhower variety May 81, one crate
going to New York and the other to
Philadelphia. The date of these
shipments is three days earlier than
any previous record. The shipper
was ]. D. Pagan of Fort Valley Mr..
Fa2an expects to ship a carload next
week.
After the Mayflower other varie-
ties will start as follows: Queen of
Dixie, about June 10; Greensboros,
June Is; Carmens and Governor
Hogg, about June 20; Early or Hiley
Belle, June 25; Georgia Belle June
80 and Elbertas and other late var
ieties during July and August.
Heavy shipments will be consider
ably later than last, season as the
early drough and frost set the crop
back considerably. There has been
some dripping of fruit but weather
conditions the past week have been
more favorable. 1t is believed that
the crop now on the trees will be
of splendid quality.

SEE AMERICA FIRST-THE
CHICAGO PACKING HOUSES
BY George Fitch

| The tourist who desires to exam
inc this great country carefully
should not confine himself to his.
tory, scenery, or the tombs Of pa
triots. Whenever he comes across an
evidence of that American ingenuity
which has made this a country Of
tremendous statistics, he should
carefully examine said example.
AS the traveller nears Chicago he
will become conscious, if the wind is
in the right direction, of the exist.
ence of the great Chicago packing
houses. He should not pass them by
in scorn, because pig packing, if well
done, leads to prosperity and art and
| cathedrals and old families and
other aesthetic things. He should
obtain a guide and a clothespin and
wade resolutely in.
Years ago cattle and hogs were
killed and dissected by hand. 1t
was Slow and messy business. But
when Chicago began to pack hogs
she applied Yankee brains to the job.
This has led to the building of the
great Chicago packing houses where
three minutes after a pig has been
transformed into bacon, ham and
sausage, and shot into the cooler,
his dying squall comes along out of
breath and unable to keep up with
proceedings.
The Chicago packing houses can
take drove of cattle in at one door
and dump them out at the other in
neat little cans, in an hour. They
can dismantle a train load of pigs
and shoot them into the cold stor-
age plant while the conductor of
said train is washing up and chang
ing his overalls. Five minutes after
a pig becomes a passenger on the
pig machine" he is so thoroughly
scattered over a ten acre plant that
twenty messenger boys couldn't
prlng MIN PACK IN half day.
Millions of hogs are sorted out into
food products in these plants each
year and the spectator can walk
through the plants with more safety
to his shoes than he can find in
Chicago's downtown streets.
Science has made it possible to
use every part in a pig, cow or
sheep in these great packing houses.
There is no waste, except a little
unconserved noise and odor, and the
latter will soon be boiled down for
use in municipal political cam
paigns. Thanks to all this science,
Chicago's packing houses do larg-
decades.
