Gazette Man Visit Mr. C.S. Brown'a ' ' Farm and Learns Some Interesting Tilings Great Possibilities Along - This Line Here Drought Has Been Great Drawback This : Sea son. v;'.-;. ' If present signs do not fall, Gas ton county is to. be reckoned with in the trucking and canning industry within three or four years, or even less time than that. If conditions should prove favorable. There Is no reason why the people of this coun ty, with its fertile soil, favorable cli matlc conditions and excellent ship ping facilities, which last will be greatly Improved when the Pied mont Traction Company completes its line, should not embark upon this new phase of Intensive agriculture which of late years is yielding such handsome returns to the, Investor. The above remarks are occasioned by the visit a few days ago of a Ga zette man to tbe farm of Mr. C. 8 Brown a short distance south of Gas tonia on York street extension. Mr, Brown is a successful truck farmer who came here last winter from Florence county. South Carolina, in close proximity to Marlboro county. that Utopia of fertile lands and mag' ic prices. Bringing with him some of that characteristic South Carolina aggressiveness, Mr. Brown has es tablished himself upon 43 acres of land near Gastonia with the lnten tlon of furnishing Gastonia and near by towns with early vegetables and garden truck. The sight that first met the news paper man's eyes was a disc harrow, drawn by two tine mules, thoroughly pulverizing and putting Into excel lent, shape a piece of fertile sandy loam. This had been plowed and fertilized and harrowed until- it was In fine shape for a second crop of Irish potatoes. A little further along a negro with a "bull-tongue" was plowing in a likely looking field of tomatoes, loosening the earth on each side of the row. Across the hill a field of waving corn, early "roas n ears, greeted the eye. Along a hillside gently sloping to the bottom lands along a small branch, were patches of early cab bage, beets, onions, beans and other vegetables. A- little further up the slope we came to a house used for packing and Bhlpplng inside of which were piles of potatoes, onions and cabbage with boxes and crates for packing. Here we met the proprietor. Mr. Brown, and engaged him In conver sation. Being a practical farmer, but not of such recent experience, the Gazette man ventured the opinion that his crops were looking fine. "Why, sir," he exclaimed, "if any rain bad fallen within the past six weeks my yield would have been double, and In most cases, three times what you see. There are about 60 bushels of potatoes in that house when there ought to be be tween 160 and 2J0. The drought Just killed my potato crop, and has virtually ruined the early crop of beans, cabbage and tomatoes. This particular spot where I haVe them planted is not suited to withstand a dry spell, and consequently they did not grow off - as they should. Another serious drawback to me was the long, cold spring that we had. Thinking that the weather would moderate, I set out tomatoes and cabbage and planted early corn, beans and potatoes, but they were so long in. coming up on account of the cold, damp condition of the soil that, dwarfed .and stunted as they were, they would not grow. Again, being a stranger to your town and unfamil iar with people and marketing facil ities I was at somewhat of a disad vantage with what produce I had. Although naturally discouraged with such a beginning, I am not out of the game yet, and am putting In, as you see, a second crop of everything for fail use. l am hoping for better success. If conditions are favorable next year, I am thinking of Installing a canning outfit with a capacity of 4000 to 6000 cans a day, and shall be prepared to preserve all kinds -of fruits and vegetables. Then I also plan to establish a honnery with about 100 hens to start with. Yes, although discouraged with the show ing so far, . I hope to be in better shape next year. However, as it 1b, I have sold some produce In Gas tonia and have also shipped some to Charlotte." Such a spirit as this is commend able and should be noted by all Gas ton farmers. It is to be hoped that a few more of the progressive agriculturists of old Gaston will follow Mr. Brown. In the trail he has blazed, for with tbe right kind of pluck and energy It is bound to succeed. Aged Lady Dies. " Mrs. Minerva Ford, an axed and highly respected lady of Lowell died yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of her nephew, Mr. W. T. Ford, : with whom she made her home.

Around the chancel an alcove had been built of ferns and potted plants. Intertwined with ivy, while to the rear of the officiating minister rose a huge frank of palms and ferns sur mounted by floral decorations of the fragrant cape Jessamine.

These crossing at the altar formed a semi-circle around the al cove. The bride entered on the arm of her sister and maid of honor, Miss Margaret Riddle, while the groom entered with the best man, Mr. W. H.' Adams, of Gastonia. They met at tbe altar and took their places in front of Rev. Mr. Mills, of Clover, who spoke- the beautiful words which made them husband and wife. During the ceremony Schubert's serenade was skilfully rendered by Miss Patrick. The bride was beautifully attired in a dress or white messaline trim med in pearls and real lace. She carried a shower bouquet of Bride roses and lilies of the valley while her veil was caught with a spray of orange tloesoms. The bride's maids were becomingly fitted in pretty lin gerie white dresses, each carrying a oouquet or dainty pink carnations and asparagus fern. To the music 1 of Lohengrin's "Bridal Chorus" the i party left the church. Immediately after the ceremony I the bridal party with a few Intimate friends were driven to the home of the groom's parents in the Bethany section where an elaborate reception was tendered them.

During the evening several violin and piano selections were rendered by Mr. 'Boyce and Miss Gray. Left to their own devices the guests dis persed themselves over the lawn, all enjoying to the fullest the brilliancy of the scene around them, rendered so much more delightful by the cool ing breeze, the playing fountain and the subtle evening fragrance . from flower and shrub. ; - ..
