Delta county fruit growers feel jubilant
over their extensive crop, which is finding
ready sale at good prices all over the state.
A better price is realized this year from the
fact that the fruit crop is light in adjacent
counties, nearly all of which are being sup.
piled from Delta. The season has been o
good one to test the adaptability of climate
in that section of the state TO fruit culture

That is just the size of it notwithstanding
the insinuations Of our friends in Montrose
and Mesa to the contrary. Several wagon
loads of fruit are sent from here by train
every day and many more haul their fruit to
Montrose, Ouray, and Telluride. Delta Co.,
never fi,ils on fruit the Grand Mesa across
the north west boundry extends like pro.
tecting arm to keep of those sudden changes
in temperature that SO seriously effect the
fruit crop to the north and south. While We
are proud of our fruit and glad that we live
in Delta County, it is not with e1ultation
that we see the thwarted plans and fruitless
trees OF our neighboring counties. Such a
time sorrow puts his foot on our neck and
pity gusheth up like an artesian we'll How
and Indignation only comes to the surface
when our handiwork is remarked with the
signs, grips and pass words of the unfortunates

friends with big pumpkins and peaches, il
they pay, for we have no sand lot or para.

The Supreme Court of Pennsyvsnia is to
be called upon to determine whether shaving
in barber shops on Sunday is necessity aud
therefore lawful. The question has been
passed upon by the courts in several states,
and the general conclusion has been, states
the New York Herald. that open barber
shops are In vioiat,oa Of the law" In one
case the court remarked that "if men want to
get shaved on that day they must be their
own BARRIERS or appeal to the legislature to
change the law" The latest tribunal heard
from on the subject is the Supreme Court Of
Indiana. 1t holds that the question is one
for jury to decide.
