Mr.. VIM. A. Percy says there is
money IN growing Strawberries. He
started with five dollars worth of
plants about two years ago. and has
realized from the sale of plants from
this AMOUNT something over $500,

the berries to eat, and realizing
good sum from those shipped. We
have often wondered why our farm
ers dc not engage in the business.
No better land can be found any
where for the growing of strawber-
rieS than there is around Vienna. Ii

justify buyers in coming here, they
would soon have a profitable busi-
ness.

the feelings. And they, likewise,
should use the same precaut1on
when speaking of America, because
we are all one family now, and re-

shelling of the streets, the lane gets
nothing The Commissioners claim
they have no right to improve it,but
it belongs somewhere, and it is with
in the corporate limits of the town.
