the township Of Lawrence, III this county, was
awarded first premium On Durham Bull,
over se veral OF the most noted breeders OF the
state. This we regard is pretty good, and
shows that our county has stock that compares
we'll with the older counties.

ny III the fruit trade this fall. There are quite
u number OF buyers in the field and compet-
ton seems to DO active each buyer endeavor-
ING to obtain all he can OF tho crop. Apples
are arriving at the depot in large quantities.
The apple crop Of the county is just now
very important item, aud viii! bring good
many thousand dollars into circulation among
h 6 people this fall.
THE STATE FAIR-At the State Fair, Van
Barren County carried off the Premium OF One
Hundred dollars, offered bv the society for the
best county collection OF Fruit. When 1t Is
considered that the raising Of Fruit IL this
County, as a specially. is OF comparatively re-
cent date, as compared with some other local.
ties, and that the competition for this prize
was spirited it will be seen that this triumph
is OF much OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES strating in
ID well adapted to Fruit Raising. III varieties
adapted TO thle latitude seems to succeed re-
raarkably well. The day is n0t far distant
when we shall take the lead in fruit growing,
indeed it may be said that Van Buren, County
has already established an enUabIe reputation
as The best fruit growing county il the state.
