EVANSVILLE Gazette: George F. Lane,
who lives on High street, has one of the
finest Muscadine grape vines in the
state. 1t is very thrifty and from curl
Osity he measured its growth this year,
when he trimmed it on the 21st inst. Up
to that time there had grown this year,
from one root, l, 112 feet of branches, by
which measurement Mr.. Lane has esti-
mated the daily growth to have been
forty or fifty feet. If this amount was
added to single branch daily, instead of
to many, it would be deemed almost a
miracle, but as it is it is a wonder worthy
of record. The vine is about 20 years
old.

EVANSVILLE Gazette: There is still
trouble about the fence which caused
the row in which young Griffin killed
old man Grimes. Those opposed to hav-
ing the fence stand, are busy tearing
down, and the opposed party keep
equally busy putting it up again. The
dispute should be settled by the courts
before another deadly assault takes
place. Already there are complaints
about abusive language and threats
being exchanged, and there is no telling
where the fuss may end. One party
claims that the fence is an obstruction
to the highway, and that the enclosed
lots are part of street, and the others
denying this.
