GOOD FRUIT TREES.
There is nothing better under the
sun than for a man to enjoy the
fruits of his labor.
A change of diet is essential to
good health, and of all diets, fruits
are the most palatable and the most
healthy.
Fruits were the only diet provided
for Adam and Eve, and while part
was forbidden them, nothing is de
nied us, but we may feast our ap
petites year in and year out, if we
but judiciously select and buy trees,
etc., from a well-known and strictly
i eliable Nursery—one whose honesty
and fair dealing is thoroughly estab
lished in the South-Atlantic and
Gulf States.
The proof of the pudding is tast
ing it; in like manner, men who
bought nursery stock from the At
lanta Nurseries 15 or 20 years ago,
will tell you that they never patron
ized a nursery that gave them better
satisfaction.
The Atlanta Nurstries deals not
in second-hand stock ; but keeps, and
has in stock now, an immense stock
of fruit, ornamental and ever-green
trees, small fruit-, flowering shrubs
and roses, all of which have been
INSPECTED BY
The Entomologist Georgia State Experi
ment Station,
and have been found free from ALL
diseases and insect pests.
The salesman can not see all the
people in the county this season, but
he respectfully solicits the trade of
the people in Hall and its frontiers
make your wants known by mail,
and they will receive cheerful and
prompt attention.
Special discounts given on all
orders for 500 trees, or more than
that number.

there has been such increase of indi

STRANGE SCAVENGERS.
How the Markets of Charleston Are Kept
Clean.
Charleston has the most primitive
and peculiar scavengers in the
world. Hundreds—it seems thou
sands—of carrion crows or buzzards
in the very early morning swoop
down upon the historical old city
from the tall palm, or palmetto, for
ests which skirt the western sub
urbs.
In the waking hours any passen
ger entering Charleston on the Co
lumbia express can see huge black
lumps fall from the trees about.
They never hit the ground. Out in
the open these black lumps gather
in a struggling flock and flop their
way over toward the custom house.
They are buzzards. While the twi
light is yet gray these vulgar birds
go to the city market and infest it
for an hour or two. The passenger
who was startled by their dull flop
from their palmetto perches and
saw great black clouds of them move
across the low rice flats can, if he
goes to the market place, see the
same birds, disgustingly tame, run
ning about the stall flows of the
meat mart, fighting with the hunger
of dogs of the city for the bones
and waste which fall from the
butchers’ meat block.
A stranger who did not appreciate
the health value of these buzzards
is liable to kill one of them. Then
he is liable to be fined $lO, for the
city does not allow its curious scav
enger birds to be destroyed with im
punity.
The Charleston market is a noted
place in the south. It runs from
Market street to the water's edge
and is the main thoroughfare for the
crowd of pedestrians who come and
go from the harbor boats. It is a
novel sight to see the hurrying feet of
workmen threading their way care
fully among these wild birds gath
ered there by the hundreds. Like
domestic chickens, they stand about
and, like domestic dogs, they watch
for every piece of waste as it is drop
ped from a meat block. One would
hardly think, as he pushes the big
birds out of the way, that these
same feathered things roost in the
forest and are tame nowhere else.
In the markets they never attempt
to steal meat from the counter.
Going through the three or four
blocks of the big market one morn
ing, the writer counted over 300 of
these buzzards walking about as
nonchalantly as though it was their
own poultry yard. They will not
get out of your way. They fight ev
ery dog or cat that attempts to run
is opposition and will scramble.with
a man or a child who competes with
them for a fallen scrap of meat But
they keep the Charleston markets
clean—perfectly clean. As a result
of their thorough scavenger work
this is the cleanest and healthiest
meat market in the world.
In consideration of their assistance
in keeping the city clean the muni
cipal council has made it an offense
to injure or kill one of them. An
offender not only has to pay a $lO
fine, but usually gets a free lecture
on the laws of health and the value
of the buzzards as assistant mem
bers of the local board of health.
By an hour after sunrise the birds
have all left the city. It is for this
reason that the visitor to the city,
who usually gets up after that hour
and strolls out later, never sees this
extraordinary sight of wild birds
acting as market scavengers.—•

Once Considered Insane.
Some interesting news about the
enlistments of recruits to the Ninth
have been going the rounds. One
of the assistant surgeons of the
Ninth gave a young man a rigid
physical examination, under orders,
as the young man was not thought
to be a desirable recruit.
After the applicant’s weight and
height had been ascertained, and the
color of his hair and eyes noted, the
dialogue between surgeon and pros
pective recruit went on as follows :
“Were you ever rejected for life
insurance ?”
“No.”
“Have you ever given up an oc
cupation on account of your health
or habits ?”
“No.”
“Are you subject to dizziness ?”
“No.”
“To fluttering heart, pain in chest,
coid in the head, shortness of breath,
severe headache?”
“No.”
“Have you had fits?”
“No.”
“Nor stiff joints?”
“No.”
“Sunstroke ?”
“No.”
“Have you ever been considered
insane ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“What’s that you saj?” asked the
surgeon, scratching out the “No”
that he had written in anticipation
of a negative answer.
“Well, I guess it’s all right,” re
plied the recruit. “My mother said
that I was insane tonight when I
told her I was going to enlist. As I
had got tired of saying ‘No’ I just
thought I’d mention it.”
Men convinced against their will
are of the same opinion still, but no
woman is ever convinced that way.
A man’s success often depends on
his ability to prevent others from
preventing it.
NUMBER 25.
CHE ANNUAL COMPLAINT.
Again there’s sound of scrubbing,
Again the floors are bare,
And soap and whitewash odors
Are floating through the air.
There's trouble in the kitchen.
Confusion in the hall,
For women are housecleaning.
They do it every fall.
A chunk cf soap and bucket
Are lurking on the stairs.
And woe to weary hubby
Who’s taken unawares.
There's paint in rash profusion,
But it is never seen
Until the clothes are showing
Big stains of brown or green.
Tacks here and there are scattered.
And words we can’t repeat
Are heard when they are sticking
In some poor victim's feet.
The furniture is shifted
To unaccustomed place,
And in the dusk it bruises
The unsuspecting face.
On clotheslines heavy carpets
In dusty silence hang;
Put there for worried hubby
To pull and turn and bang.
In vain he makes excuses,
Complains of pain in head.
For they must all be dusted
Before he goes to bed.
There's little time for cooking,
And hungry wights must wait
In spite of all their protests
Against a meal so late.
And should we ask the reason
Os anger 'niong the men
We get this explanation—
“ They’re cleaning house again,'*’

CH RISTOPHER wTc K FIN.
One of Colonel Calliper’s Old Time Friends
In Storkville Center.
“After he had lost one umbrella
in that way,” said Colonel Calliper,
“my old friend Christopher Wick
fin, who formerly resided in Stork
ville Center, Vt.» made up his mind
that he’d never lose another—that
is, by having it turned inside out—
and he rigged up an arrangement
to prevent it. This was a pretty
elaborate sort of thing in its de
tails, but in operation it was ex
tremely simple.
“In those days almost every man
in Storkville Center—and for that
matter many men in larger places,
too —wore boots. Mr. Wickfin’s um
brella was of stout cotton, with
whalebone ribs; that was when
whalebone was cheap and before
the advent of the modern umbrella
rib of channel steel. To the tip of
every rib of his umbrella Mr. Wick
fin attached a ring. He wore around
his body a belt, to which were at
tached as many cords as there were
ribs to his umbrella. At the end of
each cord was a snap hook which
he snapped into its ring at the end
of an umbrella rib. From the belt
on each side of the body a stout cord
was carried down and run through
the boot strap on that side and then
brought up and fastened to the belt,
at a little distance from the other
end, so as to distribute the strain.
Thus equipped; Mr. Wickfin was
prepared to keep his umbrella from
being blown inside out by any storm
thai. might come along. The idea
that the wind might pick him up
and carry him and the umbrella and
everything off together never oc
curred to him, but that was just
what happened on the very first day
he tried it.
“It was a tremendous rainy day,
with the wind blowing a gale and
with gusts now and then that it
seemed would blow the roofs off the
houses. But that was the sort of
day Mr. Wickfin wanted, and he set
out for the postoflice with all his
rigging in place, feeling secure and
easy and proud of the victory that
he had gained over the elements.
As he walked along Main street,
carrying his umbrella with the
ropes coming down all around and
converging at his waist, he present
ed a queer sight, but a moment later
he presented a sight far more re
markable. A great gust that came
roaring down the street doubled un
der Mr. Wickfin’s umbrella and lift
ed him off the earth and carried him
skyward. Storkville Center at one
time and another had seen many
strange sights, but never any quite
so strange as that.
“Mr. Wickfin let go of his umbrel
la, but the umbrella wouldn’t let go
of him. It carried him up on the
wings of the wind, while all Stork
ville Center looked on at him sway
ing helpless beneath it. But the
wind was merciful to him. After
carrving him up and down and
round about for a minute or two it
dropped him through the top of a
greenhouse. He smashed more glass
and frame than four umbrellas
would have cost, but he escaped
without injury to himself, and for
that he was thankful.
“Well, after that experience Mr.
Wickfin made up his mind that,
while the thing was all right in
principle, it needed some improve
ment, and he fixed an attachment
to the belt by means of which he
could, when he felt the wind lifting
him, cast off all the ropes and let
the umbrella go. Theoretically thia
was all right; in practice, when the
test came, the tie ropes jammed on
both sides before he could get them
loose, and up he went again. Then
he hit upon a plan that would no
doubt have worked perfectly: His
own weight was 160 pounds; he ad
justed all the ropes to a breaking
strain of 150, so that under that
pressure the umbrella would free
itself from him automatically, but
he never put this plan in operation.
By the time he had worked this out
he had discovered that there are
many things that could be done that
are not worth the doing.”—New
York Sun.
Pat’s Way.
One day an Irishman was taking
a walk in a small town near Glas
gow when he met an old friend.
After walking along the road to
gether Pat’s friend said to him,
“Have you heard the latest news?”
Pat—No. What is it?
“There’s a penny off the loaf."
Pat—Bedad, and I hope it is off
