The Apple Crop.-Frut growers say the out
look for the apple crop this year is not very prom
Using. Examinations of orchards have developed
the fact that the crop will not be nearly so large
as was anticipated from the great profusion of
blossoms-the heavy rains during the period of
blossoming having drowned out and destroyed the
germ of the fruit. 1t has been suggested as q
cause that the extreme wet weather prevented the
bees from fertilizing the blossoms.

Mind YOUR Own Business.-N

Mind Your Own Business.-Whata blessed
thing it would be could the idea that a person
would be comparatively busy if he or she would
tend to his or her own business alone. The world
would move on with half the jars and scars, and
the sun would shine brighter, the moon be more
sivery, and the very stars that now barely twinkle
would look like diamonds in the sky all the night
long. In fact, we expect the stars would shine
out at mid day to see how serene and happy we
mortals would be.

Joseph Wardin who q short time ago established
stationery and newspaper store in the thriving
town of Waverly, is succeeding far beyond his
most sanguine expectations, and the store is filling
a want long felt in that place. The young lady

Lecture.-The lecture at the Waverly M. E.
church, last Tuesday, on the "New Ell Dorado, y
by Judge Turner, x-Chief Justice of Nevada, en-
tertained and instructed an appreciative audi

the condition and earlier occupation of the inhab-

the hearts of the audience while his eloquent de-

Ceased Operations.-Five mills of the ex-
tensive manufacturing firm of VIM. E. Hooper
& Sons one located at Mt. Washington and the
others at Woodberry, have all shut down except
one. Mr.. VIM. E. Hooper says he cannot say
when they will start up again, but he will consider
it fortunate if the trade should justify such step
before September, and he n0t positive to
what would be done then. He said if production
was to stop all over the country there would still
be cotton duck enough in stock to supply the de-
mand for six months His company would have
saved money by stopping six weeks sooner. The
operators are seeking other work in different
branches of labor in Baltimore and elsewhere.
These mills have shut down at intervals in former
years, and Mr.. Hooper thinks that after suspen-
sion of a couple of months they will again be
running on full time. He says this stagnation in
the cotton millindustry prevails generally. There
are too many spindles, and consequent over-pro-
duction. He stated that the agitation of the labor
question in the Legislature last winter, with its
eight-hour and other provisions, did more injury
to the manufacturing interests than any other
thing that had occurred in ten previous years.
1t unsettled, he said, the whole field of manufac-
lures at a time when the cotton operators were
meeting the competition of longer hours and less
pay in the South. In these mills 1,5O0 hands
are employed and the loss of employment will no
doubt be very unfortunate for the great bulk of
them.
