Very few people could understand
why a strawberry plant could be sold
for fhty thousand dollars as announc-
ed in a recent dispatch from Michi
gan. This seems to be the price paid
for this one plant. It is said to foe
a double-bearing variety, propagated
after mature study and much experi
mentation and is expected to revolu
tionlze the strawberry culture.
Any plant thiat can do that and

TAX PAYING TIME IS HERE.
This section of the country has a
profound Interest in the Atlanta, Blrm
Ingham and Atlantic Railroad. The
whole South was Interested in the line
few months ago, when there was
me serious talk of junking it and
especially was that Interest manifested
In Georgia. On the line of the road
in other sections not traversed by
it rails, movements were organized to
come to the aid of the company In
some fashion and to prevent at all
hazards, Its being junked.
Now, however, comes the cheerful
formation that things are working
•tter with the A., B. and A and that
the company is actually earning some
let revenues on its operation. Surely
’.his is a most satisfactory state of
airs and it will be received with f
ulne pleasure all over the country.
The A., B. and A. is one of the
southern trunk lines that has hard
very hard row to hoe. It has been
through many trying ordeals
many of its troubles were thrust

management. However, the fact that
it is weathering the storm comes
the nature of a great compliment
