none of the labor necessary to bring

We have some peaches grown up
on seeding trees that surpass in size
any of the varieties of fruit bought
from nurseries in other States, Our
common peaches are as fine as we
can wish them; the only objection to
the crop is that it ripens at season
when the Northern markets are toll
erably we'll supplied with early vari.
cites from other States north of us

ton with those, and therefore are
not as profitable as crop as they
deserve to be.-Loke City Reporter.

We are reliably informed that the
coming crop of oranges of the cele-
brated Speer grove, of Doyle's grove
opposite, and OF DR.. A. G. Caldwell's
grove Just south, all within two miles
OF Sanford, have just been sold to an
Indianapolis firm at SIS thousand
and on the tree. These are three of
the Oldest groves in the vicinity, and
their crops will aggregate six or sew,
en- hundred thousand. We are glad
that for the first time Northwestern
market will receive direct so large an
instalment of Orange county oranges
as the above. We are proud of our
fruit, and ii these Oranges do not
turn the attention OF hundreds of
Hoosiers IN this direction, we will be
disappointed. - Sanford JOa07ldl

fail to get their paper, 50 he can tor
ward such complaints TO the Postmas-
ter General, The Union has long since
been instructed to forward all COM
plants in regard to this matter to the

Kew from Callahan and Baldwin.
