The object of the association is stated to be to unite tbe fruit growers and truck ers of the county of New Hanover into one body for. the following purposes: First, to secure the : lowest and best freight and refrigerator, rates; to obtain the cheapest and most practical fruit packages; tb secure favorable State leg islation; to bring about, proper distribu tion of fruit and vegetable crops; at the same timeto -preserve to each grower and shipper his individuality and owner ship in the fruit grown and shipped, and each pne to receive, his Individual returns for fruit and Vegetables, and,, so far as nracticahle. in nermit each joeraon to have his proportionate share in each and) every market used by the association; and for other purposes which shall he for the fruit) trucking interests of the county and members of the association.

A Wiaooniin Man Claims tit Have Iavented e Process Por Making Pa per From , Sawdust and Slab. The Savannah News condenses' as fol lows a discovery that will prove of in estimable value to the South, if really practicable : "Many a mill owner has gazed at the mountain of sawdust and tbe great pile of slabs near his sawmill, plant and re gretted that these must be waste pro ducts. If the claim of a Wisconsin in ventor is reliable, tEe sawdust and tfe slabs will soon be reached from the waste pile and made a profitable source of revenue.. He claims to have discovered a new liquid lor reducing wood to paper pulp not -only from 'spruce, but also from the several vane Hies of -pinefas well "as popular, hem - tnrk haas hlarh-oiam anrl nfopr wnnda gings ana-slabs from (Sawmills are ing wfth the new liqt assetpd mattkhiew iiaaor is much less.: expedsiv than tbf. 6lfJ-o.ne', red being the4 cost ot pucp from 0 .'to 50 per cent. The new HqabM.lso cooks the wood innuch lttlftme ;hanthe old Which is to be, ion-, S4d&iA the matter. 1 cosu ih5jo 1 itjrpaper produced ith tbe!fiswjpro fcess is said xa be remarkably stroogrIt has a leathery texture and pliaoilityfttnd eperts" leathet manufactures havtfe etared that it is a mateirial that caSfd be employed with satisfactory resells in th'e'4 mauiiiaciurc or iue ca caper gesracs or shoes, for ineer soles, heels anddsharlks. "IT it is indeed a fact that a liquor hasjri been discovered which w;ll redice thent resj,nons yellow pine to paper pulp at a low cost, then -there are better ttmes ahead for the sawmill people oi Georgia and the South. Hundreds of thousands of feet of timber go into tbe worthless sawdust pile and slab pile in this State in the run of a year. In buying timber the mill man calculates this waste, and pays for bis stock accordingly. If he could convert, the waste products into paper pulp, be could afford to pav more for timber,' to the great benefit of the Whole, timber belt. The inventor of tbe new wood reducing liquor is James Lippen, ofvAppleton, Wis." Bargains are offered by C W Polvogt & Co. in Blankets and Comforters, t : DIED.'
