 From the Rising City, (Neb.) Inte- | pendent, of the 23d ult., we take the following:
 "The Independent force had the pleasure of testing some peaches raised on the fruit farm of John Boans, at Russellville, Ark. They are simply immense, both in size and quality, and if they are fair samples of the fruit raised in that country, we do not blame some of our people for having the Ark fever, especially during the peach sea son. The fruit was so fine that We have been afflicted with yum yum, gi'me some" feeling ever since."
 It can truthfnlly be said that Arkan- sas is the fruit orchard of America, and in the matter of peaches and apples Pope county takes position among the very best fruit growing counties in tho State. Our Nebraska friends are inyit ed down to feast on delicious fruit.
