The Fruit Crop.

1t is yet too early in the season to
form anything like correct estimate
of what Christian county's apple crop
will be, as trees that two weeks ago
were full of young apples have al
ready lost fifty per cent. of them. In
some localities there will probably be
half crop of apples and one-fourth
crop of peaches. Late cherries in
some parts Of the county will come
up to nearly an average crop. Plums
generally are a failure. The straw
berry yield, especially in the city,
was short. What we lost in straw
berries we will gain in blackberries,
as the prospect is most promising.
The State Commissioner in his re-
port places the quantity of apples
compared with that Of last year at So
per cent, and peaches at 81 per cent.
in the state. The grape crop in this
county viii probably reach an average
per cent, The Commissioners report
puts the yield in the state at 80 per
cent Of that of last year.

MACEDONIA.

After a long silence, l will try tc
give few brief items from this sec
ton Of the county.
News items are very scarce.
Our farmers are more behind with
their farm work than | have ever
known them at this season of the year
many of them having just commenced
planting corn.
There are some good fields OF wheat
in this section which bid fair for a
fine yield, while others are not SO good.
As rule those who sowed late will
reap the best harvest this year.
Some of our farmers complain that
little blue louise is making sad hay
oc with the oats crop, which will be
almost a failure in some instances.
The peach crop will be almost but
not an entire failure, while unless
something befalls the apples, the crop
will be beautiful one. Most small
fruits promise fair yield.
A great many of our farmers have
made no preparations for a tobacco
crop, but those who contemplate
planting the weed have plants about
ready for the hill. Some in fact have
commenced setting.
Mr.. Fields Blanchard died at his
home, in the vicinity of Cramar's
school house, few days ago, of pneu-
monia fever. Mr.. Blanchard was q
good citizen and leaves many friends
to mourn his less. CLAB.

How Little George Proved That He Pos
scssed 1t In u Marked Degree.
Now and then one hears more or less
discussion as to what constitutes 'the
Yankee spirit" but like many other
common phrases this one seems to clude
the efforts Of the dcflner and to be al
ways in the air. The one thing always
agreed upon is that to be a real Yankee
ono must DO good al bargain, and II
this is not very definite it is at least
something.
There is small boy in the neighbor-
hood OF Boston whose mother Is English
The parents have often laughingly do
bated whether the lad was or was not o
genuine Yankee, but 1t was only on tho
day after last Christmas that they were
able to agree In the matter,
On that day the boy was for some timo
missing, and the whole family became
much alarmed about him. The servants
were sent to the neighbors, the house
was thoroughly searched, the well looked
into, and, as last resort the policemen
of the village were called upon 10 aid In
discovering the truant
When matters had gone as far as this
the boy himself was seen coming across
the lawn in a draggled and evidently
exhausted condition, but qwaving his
hand with an air Of triumph.

shouted, as his anxious mother came
Fastening out to meet him.
Thirty cents!" she repeated in as

why, with my organ. of course" he
answered, and he showed her, strapped
upon his back. toy hand-organ which
had been among his Christmas gifts.
'l've been playing way down to tho
other end OF town"
The English mother looked at tho
eager little fellow, divided between o
desire to laugh at tho droll situation,
the feeling that she should reprove the
runaway, and the relief she felt at 500.

Gov. Buckner failed to do himself
any credit by log-rolling and staying
up all night with the boys in the late
convention. He held a proxy from
Pike county and went into the con-
vention as a pronounced Adams man,
and in the defeat of Maj. Adams, a
black-eye is in certain sense given to
the Governor, who espoused his cause.

The indications point to a small

for tho editors to begin to mako thei

The KENrucKIAN has Washington
press which hes quite a history though
it cannot antedate that OF the
Signal. 1t was in constant use ii
this city in 1856, when Pierce and
King and Scott and Graham made the
race for President and Vice President
and for many years before that time
The Kentucky Patriot, the Rife
and the Mercury were printed on il
afterwards up to the beginning of the
war. During the war it was used fol
doing the printing Of both Federal
and Confederate commanders at this
place. Generals Clark, Tilman, John
son and others had their general
orders" printed on it, as did also
Gen. E. H. Murray and other Fed
eral officers who were in command
of the forces stationed here at diff
erent times during the "unpleas-
antness." When General John
III. Morgan swooped down on the
town so Unexpectedly half dozen o.
his soldier printers took up theil
quarters in the Mercury Office and
printed the Vidette on this same old
press. After the war it passed into
the hands of the founder of the Con-
serratire and it was used for print
ing that paper. The name of the pa
per was changed to the Democrat il
1876, and then to the South Kentuck
ian. Others besides the seven differen
papers mentioned have been PRINTED
ON this press, but their names can no
now be remembered. Congressman
preachers, men in the profession Of
the law, medicine, etc. have worked
off their "tokens" on it, and it is to-
day q good press, though too slow to
use in printing a large edition like
that Of the KENruoKiAs. Could the
time Of its manufacture be ascertained
1t would probably date back some
thing like a century. 1t is looked
upon with reverence by those who
know its history, and is good fol
many years OF usefulness to come.
