Diamonds and Peaches tt Grow ,> on Same Tract ' The territory in which Nashville, ' Ark., is lucuted make* a bid fur fume in being the home of the world's largest peach orchard, with 5,000 acres in trees, and also the home of the only diamond mine In North America. There Is a $1,000,000 peach crop In sight there this year, which will lie considerably more thun the unnuul production of the diamond mine, but the latter draws tbe lurgest number of tourists, says the I’hiludelphlu Ledger. The diamond mine was discovered by John Huddleston in 1007. He found it on u ItiO-acre tract in Pike county, about 14 miles northeast of Nushvllle, which he had bought because he believed there was gold to be found there. Huddleston was a farmer, but all his life bad been Interested In minerals. The first two "pebbles'’ found by Huddleston proved to be steel-blue gems, one weighing one and threeeighths carats. The third he found was a yellow stone, weighing one-hulf carat, and this he sold for SIOO. Without waiting to prospect further, Huddleston sold his land for $30,000 to I.ittle Rock Interests, this being the exact amount necessary to purchase a certain farm he had in mind. He laments that If he had kept his property he probably would be a millionaire some duy. Those who liuve been connected with the diamond mining industry here since its start say that because of the high luster of the Arkansas gems in their rough state, I’ike county diamonds surpass even those of South Africa. This luster comes from their extreme hardness. The production of this diamond field to date is estimated at 5,000 carats, the stones running In size from oneeighth to 20H carats. The diamonds occur In peridotite, which resembles burned lime in that It slakes upon exposure to air. To recover the diamonds from tbe peridotite two methods are employed, one being simply to spread the ore on the ground and allow it to decompose, after which it is washed In large revolving pans, and the other is to grind the ore at once and then proceed with the washing process. In the washing process the material is flushed over a grease board with water, the diamonds adhering to the grease, while the residue is carried over into the waste pile. Adventure It was night. Four men opposed her. Three of them were absolutely heartless. One carried a club. "Oh you brutes!” she exclaimed. “You wretched, despicable brut. -! Not even carfare are you leaving me. But I might have expected such treatment from you, for you are men and all men are alike. Give them the slightest chance or excuse to get the best of a woman and each and every one of them will grasp at that chance with alacrity and glee. Ah, yes,” she continued. “Ah. yes, ’tls the woman who pays and pays and pays," As she spoke of paying I saw her flush —just a poor sickly spade flush that was not even a straight. And what chance, I ask you has a flush against four kings in the great American game of poker?—Edward E. Cole, in Judge. Thinks Sun Will Split The sun spots which have attracted the attention of astronomers for many years are spreading and will ultimately cause the sun to split into two pieces, according to David Todd, the well-known astronomer. He thinks that later we will have two suns instead of one, each moving in its own orbit. But it would probably be manyyears. declared Doctor Todd, before any effect of this split would be noticeable on the earth. However, other scientists do not seem to be much impressed with the theory. Dr. C. G. Abbot, of the Smithsonian institution, thinks the notion is not well founded. —Pathfinder Magazine. French Girl’s Dot T?iere Is no law in France providing that a girl must have a dot before she can be married. The dot is merely a prevailing custom which dates back many centuries. It Is the marriage portion which a woman brings to her husband. The husband may use the Interest or income from the dot for tbe upkeep of the household, but the principal remains the property of his wife. The custom is so consistentlyobserved In France that if a father cannpt supply a substantial dot his daughter Is placed in a disadvantageous position In respect to her opportunities for marriage—Exchange, Mirrored Vision Sam Tiana, a fourth-grade pupil In Fairmont, W.

DAVIS PAYING PRICE TODAY I Arm Swollen From Vigorous Handshakes By Enthusiastic Farmers (t'nlted Preus Stuff Correspondent> Eastwood Farms, Bunceton. Me., Sept. 16—(Special to Daily Demo crati —John W. Davis today was paying the price of being the democratic candidate for president in central Missouri. His right ram was swollen frem wrist to shoulder from the vigorous pump handle handshakes given him by enthusiastic farmers who gathered at the monster rally at Dr. A. W. Nelson’s country home. There were black and blue spots on his back where heavy handed farmers had given him a "pat" of encouragement. But Davis was happy and neither he nor the old timers hereabouts have ever seen such an outpouring of people at a political meeting held six miles from a railroad. The turnout was not only a personal tribute to Davis, but was accepted by his managers as an indication of the sentiment in the state. Scores of stragglers, mired in the mud of country roads or stalled because of engine trouble, were still in the process of departure today when Davis arose and surveyed the scene of the greatest triumph of his western trip. Davis was wondering what he would do w-ith the memento of his invasion of Missouri —a frightened hound which was brought to him byairplane from Booneville. Unable to take the pup with him. he has about decided to leave it with Dr. Nelson for safe keeping for the present. Davis devoted most of his time today preparing his Des Moines speech which he will deliver tomorrow night. Leaving Des Moines at midnight, Davis returns to Chicago and then makes his way back east. o [Uniform Flag Decorating ' System Installed At Berne A uniform flag decoration system j like the one recently installed on the streets of Decatur is being installed I in Berne this week.
