Augusta, Savannah,
Griffin and Macon are in the field for
the location of the Exchange. No
other cities in the State have the
facilities to come in the category of
eligible places.
Griffin thus has an opportunity to
place herself prominently before the
people of the State, and demonstrate
to the members of the Farmers’ Al¬
liance the interest she takes in titer
organisation. An active committee
has been appointed who will do all
that they cap in looking after the
interest* oi this place. We may not
be able to offer much money, but we
can show the moat promising city in

products, and general forwarding

to erect, manage and operate ware¬
houses, stock yards, grain elevators,
packing establishments; to manufac¬
ture guano or other fertilisers, and
operate all such other enterprises as
may be found necessary or advisable
to their profit and betterment.

IS THIS TRUE f
A Strange Tale About toe Cucumber
Pickle Heed.
All the world knows about the man
who was transformed into cucumber
pickles, and how his widow afterward
sold the seed; for it was published at
the time in the News and that small
portion of the world which doe* not
read the News saw it in one of the
many journals that copied it. Now,
while those who know the reputation
of the News for rigid and unswerving
veracity, a* well as those who had
an opportunity to become acquaint¬
ed with the facte, were satisfied that
this was merely the authentic record
of an actual happening, seeing there it may
have been those, who in other
papers of less standing, doubted its
exact accuracy. It may be that in
the following rather wonderful ac¬
count of the development of some of
these human encumber seed, taken
from the Philadelphia Farm and
Fireside, the writer has sought to
ad i to what he regarded as a fictitious
tale; but since no one can say that
be has fathomed all the mysteries of
nature we will not assert this to be
the case, but will rather let our
readers judge for themselves. Wbat
the writer says may be true, andthis
is what he says:
