Whoa tho mall brings a check the ;aid to be cheaper tli i bargain hunters a 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 •ing on two distinct crops in one •ar Is worth a lot of money, no tell- g'just how much If it can be extend- and grown to any large extent.

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 it and was in no way chargeable management. However, the fact that it is weathering the storm comes the nature of a great compliment the splendid ability of Receiver Bugg and his able and efficient co ficlals, who have stood to the rack through thick and thin.—Brunswick Nsws.
