Most Fertile Region In Africa.
ie famous Bed Biver Valley is by
I students of such comparative values
to be third agricultural region,
ittt of fertility, in the world, there
one Asiatic and one African valley
^foreground beyond it. This Bed
? Valley takes in many counties of
inaaota and the most easterly counties
two Dakotas. It is prairie land of
soil that once formed the bed or
sit of an ancient Bea. It reaches up
Canada, beyond Winnipeg, and is a
deal richer at its southern end in
; "United Siates than in Canada. This
ion pours its wealth of grain (or a
part of it) into Minnesota's twin
there to exchange it for merchau
; Other cereals and cattle are pro
si; beyond this valley in the new
a, and the valley itself returns the
& commodities along with its wonder
^output of wheat. In the extra fruitful
r just Closed?wonderful fou its crops
"for the world-wide demand for
from this country?the pre-,
ions that were based upon the results
ie sale of the crops seem, fabulous,
^instance, it was boasted that- the
lers of the Northwest would make
icient profits to pay all their morV
this year.
a in the Eed Biver Valley that one
ay hear of a farmer whose profits last
close to $80,000; it is there
? men bought farms of great extent,
jecting to pay for them in an indefi
number of ye are, and then paid for
Tout of the first crop raised upon the
jj the wonderful yield of last year,
k is tlie region at the'very doors of
j. twin cities of the Northwest. If
'left the Old World when the wor
of her went out of fashion, it must
to the valley of the Bed Biver
i.abe CKtae. But if mythology is sug
i'at all by a study of the marvelous
it is in tb|;recollecgoh of the
jled riyer Pactolos, wherein King
washed, off his power to turn into
all that he touched. That may well
cbeen'tbe stream that once swelled
?'aide to; side of 4his valley, for, truly
/sediment retains little less than
Idas's.power.
Wrealize the majesty of agriculture
we never did before when we learn
, in Minnesota and the }wo Dako
ae. wheat crop alooe was worth onehu
[ and twenty million of dollars last
Figure for yourself the estimated
of one hundred and fifty millions of
selling at from 75 cents to 82
Wuva bushel. In what story of ifairy
ad is there an account of a literal fiel'
to equal that?
' There are 8,882,000 acres in the valley,
id less than a quarter of it was in crop
year. If every acre were put into
sat? there would be no market for the
it would become a drug. As it
?; of the portion that is under cultiva
on;- only about three quartrrs were in
'seat and the yield of last year wr
i eatimatd at from 80,000,000 to 87,000,000
vbushels, grown at f.he average proportion
of 20-bushels to the acre. The wheat
p of the valley, therefore, fetched
)u?,$27,000.000. At 80 cents a bushel,
each acre returned $16, at a cost of fvom
to $8. Good land has produced 81
shsis to too acre, and good land farmed
ientifically hasjielded as high as 47
f/bhshelsto the acre, but 20 bushels is, the
average product, and the farmer isenti
led to.a profit of $10 an acre, with prices
as they were last year. Matured farming
will raise the yield to an average of 25
|j)nj?hels an acre.?Harper's Magazine.
One'Girl's Work.
'A few years ago a little girl applied to
a pastor in one of our large cities for
Admission into his Sunday School. She
-. was told that the classes were so ful3 that
there wa?,no room for her, and that the
Church was so small that no more classes
could be organized. Much disappointed,
the little girl began to save pennies?her
.famSry was poor?for the purpose of en?
ilarging the church in order that she and
.other children like her might be accom
-.modated. She told no one of her am?
bitious purpose, however, so that when
I the pastor of this church was called to
? her bedside a few months later, to com?
fort her in her severe illness, he saw
.nothing unusual, only a fair child of six
^andrbfleihalf years. ?
The 'little sufferer died, and a week
there were found in her battered
pocket book, which had been her
ivings bani, fifty-seven pennies, and a
ip of p-.per that told, in childish
it, the story of her ambition and the
of her self-denial,
story of that little red pocket book
id itsiebatauts, and of the unfaltering
1th of its little owner, got abroad. It
iched the heart of iiaint and sinner
ike. Her inspiration became a pro
lecy, and men labored and women sang
id children saved to aid in its fulfill
=nt. These fifty-seven pennies became
> nucleus of a fund that in six years
mtoi$250,000,and to-day this heroine's

? An attempt was made on Wednes?
day night, February 24th, to assassinate
John McDonnough, the Mayor of Sa?
vannah. The Mayor has been extreme?
ly severe on evil doers recently and they
desire to resort to assassination as a
means of getting rid of him. Late on
the night in question, two negroes called
at his home with an alleged message to
the effect that his presence was desired at
police headquarters. Mr. McDonnough
did not believe the story and did not go
out. Next- day one of the negroes was
arrested, and he confessed that he had
been given $50 for his efforts to get the
Mayor out of bis house. Though tbe
principals are unknown, it is believed
tost they were lying outside, ready to
shoot Mr. McDonnough the moment he
made bh appearance.
Mountains of North Carolina.
I have seen the grand mountain views
of every part of oar continent east of the
Sierra Nevadas, and most testify that
there is no mountain scenery this side of
the Rocky Mountains that equals or even
approaches the grandeur of the varied
views presented at Asheville, N. C. From
the southern portico of the Kenilworth
Inn can be seen fully forty mountain
peaks and domes', all of which are higher
than Mount Washington or any other
Mountain elevation east of the Bockier.
Here is a complete circle of broken
Mountains as far as the eye can reach,
with Mount Misswell nestling among a
family of undulating cliffs away off to?
ward the rising sun, kissing the chilly
breeze at an altitude of 6,711 feet above
the sea, and directly toward the setting
sun, more than one hnndred miles dis?
tant, is Mount Fisgah, with its beauti?
fully rounded dome towering over its
neighboring peaks, throwing long shad?
ows over the 'oo thills and valleys below.
Such a pan ?-"na of veriegated mountain
scenery is no. . i seen elsewhere in all
our boasted Bine iuidge and Appalachian
ranges, or in all the varied rugged scene?
ry of the White Mountains of New Eng?
land.
Asheville and its surroundings are a
revelation to all when this matchless
mountain view breaks upon them. It is
now a hive of industry aa well as the
Mecca of pleasure and health seekers in
the South. I'S altitude ranges from 2,
400 to 3,000 feet above tide water. The
city, .with its permanent population of 5,
000, is the County seat of tbe famous
County of Buncombe, and it is surround?
ed by innumerable.broken hills with fre?
quent sharply jotting peaks, all adorned
by beautiful residences, while across the
Swannanoa (the Indian term for beauti?
ful river) is an enchanting view of min?
gled foothill farms and broken moun?
tains.
One prominent elevation, some, three
miles from the river, is the center of the
magnificent estate of George W. Van -
derbilt, containing 7,200 acres io one
body and employing from G00 to 1,000
men in beautifying it, Tbe land alone
cost $250,000, and his improvements
^re -so colossal in conception as to find
parallel only in the ancient Bomanp.
His house is in the course of erection
on the western slope of the central
elevation, with a bewitching view of
mountains, rivers, farms and city. It
is 400 feet in length, with solid walls of
fifty feet in height from the deer park
on the western front to tbe first floor,
and tbe lawn tennis court ulone, with
its huge iwalls from thirty to fifty fot
in height, would make a foundation for
tbe grandest of the ancient temples of
the old World.
A private railroad some fi/e miles in
length is kept busy transporting materi?
als to the palace, for bridges, roads, etc.,
and when completed the cos t of the es?
tate will reach $5,000,000. There will
be 200 miles of elegant road.-, traversing
the Vanderbilt estate, of which 38 will
be macadamized, and scores of bridges
of every conceivable form e.f exquisite
architecture will add to tbe beauty of
the place. The building of the palace
will be a five years' task, even with
every branch of mechauism em?
ployed in its construction filled with
workmen This will be the most mag?
nificent estate on the continent, surpass
ing tha oldest and largest English es?
tates in natural beanty and with its
game preserves equaled by few in any
country of the world.?Colonel McClure

Try. this on your Roses.
.Everybody in iAugusta who grows
roses had trouble with the bugs and
worms that infested both the plants and
the flowers last year. Oo account of
these pest? very few perfect roses were
seen here either in the Spriog or Fall,
and the insects seemed to be worse on
tbe lovely Marechal Neile, of which
there are r.o many in Augusta gardens,
than on any other variety.
In the Philadelphia Record we Bee that
Mr. William Spooner, the president of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
and veteran rose grower of Jamaica
plains, recommends white hellebore for
keeping off the pests that infest the
roses. The hellebore can bo had at any
of the drug stores. Mr. Spooner com?
mences as toon as the plants come into
. leaf, and by a persistent use ot it keeps
the foliage in fine shape, as all can testi?
fy who have; seen his roses on exhibition.
Let. our rose growers cut this out for
future reference, and try the white helle?
bore on their roses this Spring.? Augusta

Unrequited Affection,
They are telling a story on a young
man in Detroit?it doesn't make any dif?
ference who he is?which somehow has
only recently got into the current gossip.
It appears that during the past cummer
he put in a month at a lake resort in the
northwest and there fell in love with a
girl who didn't believe in reciprocity
worth a cent. His persistence, however,
was in no ways abated by a little thing
like that. One day the girl fell off the
dock into the lake, and the young man
being Bomewhat of- an athlete and a
swimmer jumped in and rescued her
witbontmuch difficulty.
"Now," he said, as she stood dripping
on the dock, "I have saved your life and
you must marry me."
"Marry you ?" she repeated in bewil?
derment. ''Must IV
"It's as little as yon could do," be
whispered, putting out his hands to her.
She gave him one look as be stood
there all draggled and sloppy, and with a
smothered shriek she plunged into the
flood once more.
The next time she was rescued by a
boy in a boat, and the young man was so
mad he sent a bill to her father for a new
suit of clothes.?Detroit Free Press.

Washixgtox, Feb. 25 ?In compli?
ance with a resolution of the Senate,
Secretary Busk "Bent to that body tbe
report of Gen. E.G. Dyrcnforrh on tho
artificial rainfall experiments which he
conducted in the arid region as a special
agent of the Department of Agriculture.
The report is voluminous and if. profusely
illustrated with photograph* applicable
to tbe subject matter. In addition to the
reports of the chiefs of tbe several exper?
imental parties, the rep'ort contains a
statement from Eugene Fairchild, a mem
ber of the party, in which he says, "The
expedition has completed its work for
tbe season, and the question is ar,ked
'Have the experiments been succtsafu1 V
As a member of the opposition, I am
convinced that the experiments have
been entirely successful; and, further?
more, that the scheme is practicable, the
cost being very small, as compared with
the benefit gained. A tax of a few cents
an acre wonld cover the expenses of
operations extending over the entire dry
season."
A Dead Child's Mother Cowhides the
Doctor.
Chattanooga, February 24.?A
highly exciting and sensational scene oc?
curred at about noon to-day on Market
street in front of Rawlin's drag store,
when Dr. W. 0. Townes was attacked by
John Valsbadt and wife.
The woman wielded a cowhide
striking the doctor several times over the
head.
The parents charge that Dr. Townes
killed their child by giving improper
medicines. Two other physicians were
called in while the case was in charge of
Townes and attended to the child.
The mother was crazed with grief aod
hysterical when the attack was made to?
day. Dr. Townes is one of Chattanoo?
ga's most prominent and respectable phy?
sicians and a professor in chemistry in
Chattanooga Medical College.
The police arrested the parties aud
they gave bond.
? A writer in a German newspaper
has obtained statistics which show that
the number of suicides throughout the
world is 180,000 yearly. These figures,
the writer observes, have been of steady
growth. The greatest number of suicides
happen in Juno, the fewest in September.
The first ten days of the month giveB i be
largest number of suicides.
? Ostrich farming is one of theirapor
tant industries in South Africa, which,
as yet, furnishes the bulk of the ostrich
plumes for the market of the world.
There are probably two hundred thous?
and domesticated ostriches iu Cape Col?

? Col. Mosby is quoted by Col. Edward
Angler as having described to him a mis?
understanding between Longstreet and
A. P. Hill over the honor of winning the
battle of Games' Mill. The old Richmond
Examiner, describing the action, gave the
credit to Hill, whereupon Longstreet's
adjutant went to the editor and pro?
nounced the story false. Hill, seeing
this contradiction, wrote to the editor to
ask who had furnished It. The letter
came back with an endorsement by Long
street himself assuming the responsibili?
ty for the denial. A challenge followed
and was accepted, and but for Gen. Lee's
interference, Mosby says, there would
have been a duel.

? John A. Gartby, the celebtated

? Nine fathers out of ten, if asked as

he has and without making any especial

SOMETHING NEW
FOR THE LAUNDRY!
WHAT is it ? Well, they hav? adopt?
ed a new syntem of Washing, and
that is the "Pound System." This is the
fairest way of washing that has ever been
offered to the people. The prices/ we offer
to families in our "Pound System" anyone
can afford to pay; in fact, in our opinion,
it is the thing we have been wanting. Here
are our prices: We will rough dry your
clothes at 3ic. per pound. We will wash
and iron or finish all plain clothes at 5c
per lb. We will finish all starched goods
at 10c. per lb. The above prices are where
we take family work through and through.
These are the lowest prices that have eevr
been offered by a Laundry. Try it and be
convinced. Stop the wagon as it passes
and give us your work.
