The BIGGEST PEAR TREE We have
heard of none that equal in slze the huge
pear tree on the premises Of Mrs. Julia
Fits, four and half miles from CAL
houn, on the Owensboro road. The
tree was planted by Mrs. Fits in 1911
sixty.six years ago-who still lives to
pnrtake of its fruit, though in very deli
cate health. The tree has reached the
huge dimensions of eight feet in cir.
cumference, and in the sixty years in
which it has been bearing there have
probably been from seven hundred to
eight hundred bushels of fruit yearly
gathered from its branches, many OF
which we're sold by William Fits, of this
county, when but small boy, to the
people of the then hourishing town Of
Rumsey, this place being a wilderness
