Lake George Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION.

Saturday, June II, being the day
Of the regular monthly meeting of the
Lake George Fruit Growers Asso-
citation, the association met at the
Masonic Hall, the President. in the
chair The Secretary being absent,
the secretary pro tenn. OF the last
meeting continued the record.
After the regular business o! the
association had been completed the
subject OF "lmb blight" was called
up by Mr.. Hind. He stated his ex-
perience and trouble with the disc ase,
his various experiments and trials OH
different trees effected, and as a sum
ming up of his own OPP inion on the
subject read the late letter of Col.
Dancy, in which he prescribes ju-
dicious mulching Judge Bartlett
gave the history of tree transplant
ed from the nursery in February,
1880, 3 year old stock and years
bud, which grew well the first year,
started we'll in February, 1881, and
began 10 wilt under the cold winds
of March and April, and then refused
to grow. In May one limb after
another died, until the top was about
half gone. He then removed the
earth from the surface loots and
put on covering of new surface
dirt, and mulched the whole heavily
with grass and leaves. Under this
treatment the top continued to die,
until the stock of only one large
limb remained. Fresh strong shoots
are now growing out Of the stock
near the ground, below the bud. The
tree stands in strong deep soil, near
an underdrain, and is in the shade
alter 4 o'clock P. NJ. The roots were
not near enough the surface to blister
or boil from heat, or suffer from the
cold. Other trees in or near the
same locality are remarkably healthy.
He quered if the disease wight not
be in the bud. The tree was not
overfed or neglected. The discus,
sion was followed, III critical man
ner, by Mr.. Mixer, Mr.. Kyle, Mr..
Worr, and others, much 10 the edit
cation OF those present. The subject
of the award OF the CoDRINGToN
PREMIUM, for the best market gar
dening, was called up, ana after nu
merous suggestions postponed until
the next meeting, when it was
thought best to appoint the COM
mittee and the time when they
should meet, and make it a part Of
our records; and that all essays.
should be sent to our President until
further notice. 1t was voted that
Col. Codrington be invited to give
us an address when the COM
mittee on premiums report.

A Rewdy Bearder.

Mrs. PAynsr is the proprietrsss Of q board.
ing house, leaatsd near the yard of the Texas
u Pacific railway, in East Dallas. Among
her numerous patrons was man by the name
of James Horne, whose vocation has been a
questionable one to his acquaintance since
his sejours there. List evening, st the usual
supper hour, Horne put in an appSaranes at
the domicile with James Hawkins IS guest,
beth in an intoxicated state. During the
msA Mrs, Payner gave vent te some humor-
Gus remark, to which Horne and his cora pan
ion took exception, ard they forthwith Began
to give evidence of their disApErovsl by in
vertinE dishes Of food upon tho tabls Inca,
Taking In the surroundings at once, Mrs.
Psyner left the house in quest Of an officer.
During her absence the rowdies completed
tsOir dirty work by cApszing the table and
smashing its entire ware upon the hssr. In
q short time Mrs. Psyner returned with on
Ger Tom Cornwall, who arrested the culpritG
and confined them ia tho calshosSO. Haw-

Next Monday and Tuesday evenings, with
an afternoon matinee, the Golden Troupe
will play at Crsddocts opera house. Look

play, "a Celebrated CSse," is a very Cue one;

Dallas Poor.

Again the HERALD is called upon to re-
cord ono Of those sOrrowful events, which in
accents of the deepest pity appeal 70 the
charitable impulees of generous public.
Little does the comfortable firoside, snugly
enscensced amid cosy surroundings, dream
Of tbs dssolstion and misery that character
iEas tho scanty quarters Of the unfortunate
poor in our midst. This is liberal deduc-
ton q. any raie, for were the numerous
wants Of these unfortunate ones generally
known, assistance would literally pour in
from quarters that are how silent and
dumb.
Ina meagerly furnished room on the eAst
side Of the public square last evening, death
claimed for its own the baby boy Of Mrs.
Soloman, psnniless widow. Tho nsws
spread abrosd, and inquiry developed the
fact that the little one had yielded to an
Oyerpreasurs of cold and exposure. Alone
in her attshtions to her child the
sorrowing mother found not the
opportunity to appear on the streets and beg
for aims, and through cruel necessity was
forced to uBdergs the sad ordeal Aftcr the
news Of the death had gone abroad, Me,srs.
Kahn & Campbell, with their characteristic
liberality, sent the poor woman ten dollars in
money ard lot of wood. Mrs Kirk Levi
also furnished the mother with a burial
shroud for the little one. The poignaucy Of
Mrs Solomon's grief was of such sadness and
sorrow as only such an occasion could recall,
and her heart weled up in a p ofus on of
thanks for the kindly offices that had been
rendered her.
Several other instances of equal magnitude,
that call for immediate relief, have been pre-
s0ntsd to our reporter Old Uncle Billy Traw.
Der, who resides on Cochran streets Mrs.
Goodnight, whose hut is located on lower
Lamar street; Mrs. Jones, who lives Just be-
You'd Dallas branch, near the Mckinney
road, and Mrs. Tullock, who is struggling
for life in the "Cedars," are said 10 be in the
most stringent circumstaneos-w without food
or fuel. The feet of several small children
Of the latter are fesrfully frost bitten, and
they are confined to coucbes with bat small
convenienceS in consequence.
Marshal Morton is putting forward every
effort in his power to better these families,
but can accomplish but little without sssis-
lance. Surely Dallas, that has never been
found wanting in such an emergency, will
not now fail 10 respond in this hour of sore
need.

Our extensive beer dealers ara just now agi
tated considerably over a rise in the transpor.
tstion cftho foaming liquid from St. Louis to
