The Americas Republican says: “Griffin

herself out of the ditch, and now has a mans-
moth factory built by home people and with
home capital that it paying a handsome
revenue to the stockholders, to tay nothing
of the benefits derived therefrom by the city
in the giving of employment to the scores
of needy women and children who reside
there. Nothing builds up a city both in
wealth and population more than does inarm
faeturing enterprises of thl* kind, and some
day in the near future Americas will see it

sister cities has already done.

TH£ UNFORTUMATE FATE OF A
CUCUMBER FARM®!, *
“ r*f* k*
But Which Helped Along the Widow
and Orphans and Saved Fu¬
neral Expenses.
We stepped-into Judge
mood’s office and took our accustom
ed scat, and waited Oil he finished
drawing np the contraot for the build
ing a union passenger depot, which
now awai's the signature of the three
railroad com; • -iea and the contract
ors. TLo tr .a of the contract,
when si .ed, will be given to the
reader* ol the News in fall.
The News looked wistfully at the
Judge, who drew a long breath and
said: Well, young man, since fruit
and truck farming has assumed auch
important proportions in this country,
there has been a most wonderful de
velopmentin the r. source* of Middle
Georgia. On< in this county
raised and gutheicd one hundred
bushels of ruta bag* turnip seed and
•hipped them north. Another real
ized two thousand dollars from one
crop of sugar cane. Several have
made handsome dams from the sale
of watermelons, fruits and vegeta
bles, and otl have converted their
fruit into brr , and of course they
had a “high oiu time.” But I wish
to call your attention to one of the
me«t remarkable occurrences of this
century; bit *t the same time it was
very sad. There wi? a poor man
with a large family, conaisii^® of
bis devoted wife and many children,
mostly boys and girls. Me owned a
few acres of land, a small portion of
which was in lich bottom. He con
ceived the idea that by proper drain
age and cultivation ho might raise
large quantities of cucumbers, and
by proper management might find a
renomerative market for them. So
he made his arrangements according
ly, and raised his cucumbers, packed
them in salt, and shipped them to
some northern firm for pickling. The
first year he was very successful and
sold large quantities of them for
prices. The second year lie felt so
much encouraged that he increased
bis crop and confidently expected
a much larger income. During the
gathering time, he was constantly en
gaged in cutting, sorting, and pack
ing Lis cucumbers into barrels and
shipping them to his customers.
It is well known that when ca
cambers are first ent from the
there is a piece which exudes
bleeds from the stem. One morn
mg the farmer cot his hand
this juice got into the cut, and
hand commenced to inflame,
an eruption similar to
made its appearance ou his hand
extended np his arm, and
spread over his whole body.
to say, there wan no paiu
these eruptions of erisipelas, and be
continued to gather and pack
encumbers and prepare them
shipment. To the groat surprise
the farmer these little erisipelas
pies Hssnmed the appearance and
form of small cucumbers, and
tinued to grow: although the farmer
kept well uud hearty, he was com
polled to strip himself and lake
his bed. Of course, the nows
this strange phenoiueu
far and wide, and the
aud scientific men visited him
from various sections of the country.
One idescribed one thing, and
another* One wished to bleed him:
one wished to cut the cucumbars
another said not let him have any
water and they would dry up: anoth
er said, stick a hole in each cucum
ber and they would die and a new
skin form: another wished to
him up in a mammoth poultice
barn yard manure and draw them all
to one head: another said they ought
to be scattered. Each had a
ent remedy, but all disagreed. So
there was some hops that the patient
would get well. As the summer ad
vanoed, the small cucumbers grew in
to big enes and bis whole body was
completely covered with them from
head to foot, aud they commented
to ripen and turu yeilavr and hang
down and the man assumed the ap
pearance of a huge bnnch of bananas.
Wbeu they got ripe they began to
shrive! and drv up and $n did the
tain. His **p was *11 gone and be
died.
The Doctor* procured the consent j
of the family lo permit an autopsy to
' be made, for the benefit cf science,
and they cut into him with their
knives, ar.d lo their amazement found
uo fleab —no bicod- oo bones —no
muscles- - no sinews — uo veines— no
arteries; but found only one solid
massotcucumber seed. Itwassor*
markable that the widow decided
that it would bo useless to have the
remains interred and foolish to have
them cremated, and concluded that
she would keep them in the house.
So abe had the corpse hang up by
the hair of the head and veiled.
The next spring some of the cbil
dren packed up some of the seed
which had dropped on the floor and
planted them. They grew rapidly
and matured, and instead of being
like the parent stock of cucumbers,
they were pore pickl6* and needed
no vinegar, oo pepper, uo salt, noth
ing bat simply packiog into barrels
and shipping to market and selling.
Of conrae, news of the discovery
spread rapidly, and multitudes ofap
plications for seed flowed in like the
incoming tide, and thus enabled the
disconsolate widow aud children to
turn the canse of their bereavement
into a means of mantainance and
support. The wind of affliction was
thus tempered to these chosen
lambs. They sold small pockets of
seed for big peices. and could not
supply the demand. The vine grown
from the new seed is a perennial
evergreen, and can be propogated
from cuttings, blooms in the spring,
and bears in the summer a bounti
fal crop of perfect pickles. The
widow sells the seed at $1 a paper
£^d hot grown plants at 25 cents
each.
