The fruit growers have already COM
menced to thin out the buds for fear the
crop might be simply immense-that is,
they are trying to ascertain whether

showed signs of vitality; large per
cent of the pear buds are killed; the ap>
pie crop is very favorable.

Resolutions on the Death of William
III. TaIlman, Esq.

On the evening of March 10, the
Belmont County Bar met, and called for
the report of the Committee Oh Resolu4
tions, when the following was offered by
J. M. Rees, ESQ.,. Chairman of said COM
mittee:
"The committee to whom it was re-
ferred to present resolutions on the death
of William H. Tallnan, Esq. for many
years brother member of the Belmont
County Bar, respectl ully reports:
THAT 10 the death of William II. Tall
man, the Bal of this County has lost one
whose place, in the affections of its
members. can not well be filed. He was
a native of the county: educated for the
most part within its limits, and was, for
time, teacher in its public schools
Studied law, at st. Clairsville, under his
uncle. the late Peter Tallman, ESQ.,; was
admitted to practice and spent all his
professional life among US. His prepar+
atory reading in law had been extensive
and thorough. His mind was naturally
adapted to the investigation of legal prin-
ciples, and his grasp of them clear and
deep. In many respects his views OF
legal obligations had almost the appear.
ance of intuition. He was also naturally
fitted for the practice of his profession
In the preparation and the trial of his
causes, before i'll health overlook him
he exhibited a tact and skill that made
him very dangerous opponent.
His residence for many years was in
the City of Bellaire, and it is not too
much to say that In that city, NO one
could be found who had larger hold on
the affections of 80 many of its citizens
"For several years he had been ir del.
icate health; at times to such an extent
as to unfit him for active work, but be
endeavOred to be at his post. 1t has beer
but few weeks since he was here among
US, weak and feeble, but with no prospect
of death so soon.
ITO his relatives and friends we ex
tend our hearty sympathy, and witt
them we mourn his loss.
"Your committee would recommend
for adoption, the following resolutions
"Resolved, That the foregoing repor
be adopted by the members of the Bel
mont County Bar, as tribute to thu
memory of William Fl. Tallman. deceas
ed, and that the Court be requested t,
spread it upon its journal, and that
copy be furnished to the county paper
for publication, and to the family of Mr..
Tallman. JAMES NJ. REEs,
