oltlon or the cOmpany'S works no more delicate
question arises than the effect of further extensions
upon persons already supplied. and the intelligent

the company but to the general community. Any
obstacle to such decision would always be in1u-

Berries and Vegetables.

Up to the first of June, there were
shipped from Milan 479S cases of
strawberries-126, 600 pounds-2273
by freight and 1926 by express.
During the same time there were
shipped 428 cases of peas, 221 of
cherries, 35 of radishes and 3 of tur>
nips. These make grand fetal of
about 100000 pounds. To this will
be added the shipments of other fruits
and vegetables during the season,
which, in the aggregate, will make a
big showing. We think the ship
ments already made will net the
growers from $4,000 to $15, 900,
To this should be added the large
sales made on the streets here, which
will amount to handsome sum. W.
believe our growers are very vel
