Certain circles in our village are in a state
OF feverish excitement over certain fuidui0uS

On Tuesday last we had the pleasure Of
visiting the fruit farm of Mr.. Lawrence
Martin of Antwerp. His farm is situated
Just at the top of the hill this side OF Law
ton, and lays on either side of the railroad.
BY riding past on the cars one would sup
pose il was light sandy farm, but such is
not the case, on the contrary, it is a gravelly
loan, of excellent quality. Mr.. Martin has
the Early Richmond variety. Every tree is
heavily laden with rich, red fruit, and his
orchards present one OF the finest displays
of fruit we ever saw. There is scarcely
wormy cherry in the orchard. Mr.. M. has
thirty hands employed in picking and pack
ing the fruit, which commands the very
highest market price. His success is due to
the thorough manner in which he attends to
his crop from the time the blossoms put
forth, until the cherries are harvested and
marketed.
