usually interesting, inasmuch
as the Holiday: Stock of Goods

in saying that never before in
the history of this house has
such a display of ornamental

up to the eyes and tastes of our

himself in his efforts to please
the tastes, and at the same time
accommodate the pocket-books

As the 'lolidays are near at
hand, and knowing that it is
more blessed to give than re-
ceive, Saur has made it a point

The Defiance Eepress has the follow
ing in regard to the big apple tree the
destruction of which, by the recent
wind. storm, we noticed. 1t was a
famous tree, and was distinguished in
the aboreal world as being probably the
largest apple tree in the world. Its di-
ameter at the largest point was about
seven feet, and this would indicate a
circumference of twenty-three feet.
Nobody knew its age, but Occonoxee, a
chief of the Pottawatonies, who was
eighty years old at the time, told one
of our citizens fifty years ago that
he was born under that tree. From
this it can be seen that the tree must
have an age of at least $50 years. When
the sun was at its zenith its
shadows was fifty feet wide, and 1t had
been known to bear 200 bushels of
apples in one crop. Due reverence for
such fallen monarch would call for
its being made up into mementoes,
such as canes, etc.
