Most of the fruit boxes are made in Mobile and sent to fruit growers who buy them in shooks. A little garden, a few chickens, half a dozen assorted fruit trees and the Mo" bile householder may consider himself fortunate. The annual meeting of tbe stockholders of the People's Savings Bank for the choice of seven directors, will be held on Thursday, uly first.

In passing we noticed in the show windows a number of new and attractive articles, that it will be worth tl.e while of our readers to look at when ibey go along that popular throrougb-fare, upper Dauphin street. Mobile must give more attention to in dustrtal pursuits. Her people cannot all live on the profitB of goods that are sold and used here and the commissions on bales of cotton that are sent to this market. Produce something. Create something.

The rata bnga turnip crop of Mobile county can be mude very valuable. Farmers and gardeners are buying the seed now. In this vicinity but few gardeners cut' tivate that delicious fruit, the raspberry, though there are one or two gardens in Mobile where the finest raspberries ever eaten are produced. The English walnut is one of the preU ties trees that grows. It is said that this fruit cannot successfully bo produced here, but this reporter occupies premises on Augusta near Wilkinson street where an English walnut tree has attained a large sizn and is bearing fruitfully.

At eight o'clock this morning they wilt march from their armory up Eoyal to St.

Christopher Donne, years old and formerly employed at Whistler, wan ac cidentally drowned by failing from a sail boat between Grand Bay and Pascagonla, The body was recovered and brought here. Coroner" Harwell held art in quest and the jury rendered a verdict in accordance: with the faots. The rain Monday came very opportune ly for the growing crop of figs, many of whiob, owing id the drought, were falling off.

It may be suggested to those who have fig trees on their premises that as the roots are almost on tbe snrfaoe of the ground, by boxing in an area aronsd them and filling it tip with earth to the depth of six inches, the fruit of the trees in very dry weather would be improved Hundreds of bushels of green tomatoes are sent off daily from Mobile! to the cities of the west Packed green and wrapped in papers, they can be carried long distances and reach tuei destina-' tion in good condition. It looks like business td peep into ft produce shipping warehouse and see the tomatoes before or after they are packed. The Sunday excursions inaugurated by the management of the Mobile and Oh)o railroad, are becoming popular. Two cars were' filled with happy people last Sunday whs paid each their dollar for the round trip and came baek with the impresssion that they had made ft profit' able investment. If the little pupils of the girl's sobool on Augusta between Wilkinson and Dearborn streets, are as happy to-day, after the examination" and closing of the school, a this reporter has been during the last two months when listening (0 their singing exercises twicd ft day they are happy children, tb Slcamer IK will laavo tbe foot ot Paftrain Stoat on MOBNINO, UeMtIiiatMitrst8 o'elpck, for BLAiELY retnranig; to tke city by six oneloclc in the evan ing, FarSforthe round trip, fifty eenta cbildren half pries.
