This shows what others have
claimed, that the greatest bearer OF
all is the Petite Prune d'Agen, com
monty called the French prune.
While one would consider that
the larger varieties are yielding very
heavily, ii is an actual fact that they
are not up TO appearances. For in
stance the Golden drops are large
fruit and seem togyield heavily, yet
they come out least of all in result.

just what I have always had, and ifI

Oar last few days Of fair weather came

Some, with plaintive song, must work In

Tell Vox tho reason why tho ten conn

on one table to thsmse elves, the other six on
another table. God mesut to show us that
our duty towards Him was separate from our

then let us "rsnder unto Cesar the things

Bsy" A sad accident occurred at Green
vile last week by which Mr.. Bsrthold
Wehrle, most estimable old citizen Of that
city lost his life, in being run over by rail.
road train and having his leg so badly
crushed that it had to be amputated, from
which he died the following day.
The Greenville NeVs speaks of Mr..
Wohrle in the highest terms as man. q
citizen and confederate soldier.
by marriage there was a relationship be-
tween Mr.. WehrIe and the family of the
editor of the TIMES, his brother Alfred bav-
ing married niece of ours, consequently
we felt considerable interest in the sad ac-
cident and regret that we were unable TO
render assistance. There are but few bet
Ter men living than Berthold Webrle, and
we deeply sympatnjze with his bereayed
wife and other relatives.

who, if he continues his studies as faithfully

We have seen number of specimens of

work, and in every new specimen he has
shown marked improvement in taste and
workmanship, giving striking evidences of
close study, fine natural artistic talent and
an ardent desire to excel in the art. Ca. is n
worthy young man, and, at present, if any
one wishes work done in his line, that will
employ his leisure hours at home, they will
assist him in completing his studies by Civ

encouraged.
