This is growing to be mighty

of decency. had better call some
good democrat to the place and
stop this mud throwing.

appoint the applicant standing at

STRAWBERRY CROP
BRINGS Big MONEY
Crop Short, Prices High and
Many Sections are ReaIiz-
ing Handsomely

The strawberry crop is short
this year. The yield will likely
not be more than one-third of
average crop, but the prices ar
ranging high and much money will
be realized in the berry growing
sections,
The farmers, around Ripley, in'
Lauderdale county, have been
agitating the growing of straw
berries for several years and many
farmers are now growing the
luscious fruit. Last Saturdays
shipment alone, from that COM
munitY brought the growers about
$50, 000., That was only one days
shipment and the growers have
been shipping for nearly two weeks
The shipment from Milan last
Saturday, we understand, a.
mounted to over $4,000. Fairly
large shipments have been made
from the western end of this
county, Atwood, and Trezevant,
and the growers are realizing some
money at those points.
Sheriff Alden has about four
acres and has sold over $1,000
worth of berries. Huntingdon
farmers could make money grow
ing this crop if they would only
try.

guaranty of efficiency in fact"
The president also pointed out
that a choice among the first three
already is permitted for fourth
class postmasterships under per.
manent civil service regulations as
fixed by law. He expressed the
hope that congress would extend
these permanent regulations to all
postmasterships by bringing them
under the classified civil service.
