From some of the tiees that have leen bearing for H e.ii or two he will have a net pronl o: about sixty dollars or over. There are several groves in this county with up wards of a thousand bearing trees in them and nearly every farmer and home in the town have their full quota of trees that yield an annual harvest that would total many thou sands of dollars if estimated com mercially. One tree was called lo my particular attention a year or two ago as having yielded eleven bushels of the nuts that year. The standard weight for a bushel is 32 pounds and these eleven bushels would have totaled 352 pounds in weight. At the retail price ot sev-enty-flve cents per pound, which pre vails everywhere, this one tree would have brought the owner $264 for Its crop. It was an unusually large tree and serves as a shade tree in the vard or Mr. A. C. Oliver, of White vllle." Two $50,000 damage suits were filed In uperior court today against the Seaboard; one by Mr. W. F. Ben ton, administrator or Wiley Benton, deceased, and the other by Mr. J. L.

These ate two of the largest suits ever tiled against the railroad in this county. Pension money, approximating $8, OOU, tosslbly more, will be received by Mr. K. W. l.emnmnd. clerk of court, in a few days for distribution among Confederate veterans and widows of the old soldiers. Though the pension list Is smaller than ever, the uniount has been Increased from $45 to $60. Coming at Christinas time, this money Is doubly welcomed by the old soldiers.

The Journal is determined it shall not lie it;i I'm It if any :-tnall children or nei-iiv person i in Monroe are lelt out tins Chi islnu' . So this paper has jumped in and -darted something with this end in mow. In order that in child or needy family will be neglected this happy Yulelide, The Journal Inaugui ales a community Christmas iree and relief fund, and heads a subscription list with a ten dollar donation. All per sons, high or low, are urged to help in the undertaking by Rending a sub scription to this orflce. It will he acknowledged in these columns. Mr. Frank Limerick, a member or the Monroe Bar, has consented lo act as Chairman or a committee to have rhorse or ihe details or the under taking. He will handle and disburse the funds, and have general super vision of the affair. To co-operate with him, Mr. Limerick has appointed the following committee: Dr. II. E. Ourney, Rev. J. W. Moore. Rev. John A. Wray, Rev. S. L. Roller, Mrs. F. B. Ashcraft. Mrs. G. B. Caldwell. Mrs. J. C. Sikes, Miss Lura Heath and lis Beatrice Fairley. The Journal's idea is lo erect a huge Christmas tree on the court house snare some evening during the holidays, possibly Christmas day. The tree will be wired and lighted by vari colored incandescent lamps, wlt;i yule-tide decorations suspended from evetv twig. Gifts to the children will be distributed in the court house, the children filiiu' through the hall to receive them. The various church choirs will be asked to join in a united chorus around the tie" to sing Christ mas carols. The Journal's thought as to anv who may be destitute nr needy r.t this happy se-ison Is lo hnve boxes or baskets go to them on the same even ing that th tree Is lighted, carried by boys and girls of ib city. Of course however, all deiaiU must be left to the committee to work out. This paper believes that the people of Monroe need only some such sug gestion as is herein made to cause them to send in their contribution for a eDMt" like this so fast that it v-1 1 1 keep Mr. Limerick busy for a few days entering them ami depositing them fur the use of his committees. The time is short, however, and the people of Afonroe. if fhy wih o mnk a success of the conimnni'v Christmas tree, must stud their do nations In at once.
