He can almost do it, but not quite, hence

large basket of extra fine early Crawford
peaches. He had hardly gone, before Mr..
N. b. Aiken, of Caledonia, came in with a
pailfu of Lumbard plums that were
simply beauties. If these two baskets of

banner fruit counties of the State. Both
of these gentlemen reported large crops,
and ready sale at good prices. The
