Profits in Strawbsrrie?.
Tlio Senoia corrrspondont of tho
Mew nan Herald and Advertiser
writes as foil lows : Wo havo in*.
tended to writo about tho strp. ft'hor*
rv crop of Mr. K. C. Iverson, and
will present sorno facts about it.
Ho has about three-fourths of an
cro in all. He began to gather a
bout tho 15th cf April, and is gath-.
oring yet. ILo lias sold over 10(H»
quarts, nolting him not less than
dollars, besides supplying sev
eral families around him gratis.
Tho wholo probablo cost ofthocol
tivation, gathering,, mid baskets
will not exceed $10, and nearly all
of them havo boon sold hero n»i
home. This is one of tho cvideiw
ces of what can be done by prop or
attention to these small industries/
Kvory family ought to have a straw¬
berry patch. Tho cost is lilllo, and
the return for tho money, timo and
labor spent is simply wondorful;
besides tho fruit equals, if it does
not surpass, all others as a luxury.
Many of us arc loo indifferent to
tho worth and value of llicso small
crops. Every family should give
some of their timo and attention to
thorn. Ttioy will pay heavy rc
turns ft r tho small outlay incurred*

Another Good One. ‘
Col. Anio Gatewood of Americas

a search, as he well knew that tho
boy would never find his way out
cf the cotton field unaided. Men
mounted on mu!e3, in order that
they could see about them, rode for
hours through the dense, dark field
of cotton, firing guns and calling
loudly to attract the attention of
the lost boy, wliiio skyrockets and
Homan candles were fired at inter*

Too hunters carried him homo in
