According to an estimate made by the New York Independent the ! apple crop of the United States last year amounted to 215,000,000 barrels, worth an average of $2 per barrel. That would bring the total value of the crop up to $430, 000,000. The cotton crop of 1898 was worth about $306,000,000, and the wheat crop of 1899 about $320, 000,000, making apples a leader of both by a long distance, It is probable that the Independent’s I j figures are approximately correct, I although an estimate. Oddly enou e h notwithstanding the 0 ’ ofTliApple nnrtions and great value isLid output, so little at tcntion to it that no official t data is ever gathered respecting it, hile other and less important crops are wa tcbed as closely as a sick baby by government officials exchange and other iunetionaries. comes" =" to UC Ge 0 org!a ?

Savannah News. , Fourth Class Postmasters, j Few people know just exactly where a fourth class postmaster gets his pay. His patrons, more often than otherwise, know the least about the matter, and not many others know that, humble as the fourth class office is, it serves the greatest number of people in I the United States. There are over 70,000 of these offices, while there are just 4,500 of the third, second and first class or salaried offices. The West sal ary paid these is St.ooo and the highest salary is $8,000 a vear. The fourth class officers must rustle for their own pay.
