Rev. w. ]. Anderson, cclporteur
of the American Bible Society, is now
engaged in making canvass of War
rem county, for the purpose of placing
the Bible in every household. This
county was canvassed for the same
cause about eight years ago. Mr..
Anderson has been at work in the
county about one month, and it will
take him two more months to COM
plete the work. During the month
of September he visited $50 families,
and found So of this number destitute,
or without the scriptures. He sup
piled Is of these, either by sales or
donations. He sold during the month
$75 worth of Bibles and Testaments,
donated $15 worth. This canvass is
made at the instigation Of the Warren
County Bible Society, which is an
auxiliary of the American Bible
Society.
The county will realize a good
round sum on the apple crop of the
present year, Notwithstanding the
crop is rather short, and the quality
of most of the fruit not the best. The
high price Of dried fruit has stimula'
ted the work of saving much Of the
fruit in this way. There is also bet
ter demand than usual this year fol
green apples, and large quantities are
now being shipped from here. Mr.
j. w. Gray has purchased sixteer
orchards, at from 500 to 1925 each
and estimates that he will ship from
them about 10000 barrels. A Chica
go firm has also purchased severa
large orchards. Large quantitie
have also been purchased by Ora.
and Mead & Ritchey in small lots
1t is probable that the high price
paid for round and dried fruit thi
, year will materially reduce the pro
duction of brandy. Only the inferio
fruit will be used for stilling.
We learn that our account las
week of the difficulty between Bucl
, Locke and Taylor Argo did Locke
considerable injustice. We were i
! error in stating that Locke was Onl
, released from the Texas penitentiar
about three months ago. He wa
released from there more than tw
years ago, and as far as we can lear
had lived a sober, quiet life from tn
time of his release up to the day {
his last difficulty. He is quick ten
pered and hasty in his actions whe
under the influence of liquor, and
was for a difficulty something simils
to this last one that he was imprisor
