county fruit growers are now indulg-
ing ia a most substantial spell of the
blues as the natural Outgrowth Of The
fact that the early variety of peaches,
which promised such an abundant
harvest early in the season, will be in
many cases almost a total failure, due
to the rOtting of the fruit. A gentle
man, who, few days ago expected to

d Is, the secretary was request to recOr
l. the following resolution That in vie'
: of the lack of public interest through
[. out the county in the fair, and the il
is ability of the directors to meet inaT
n cial obligations, it is impossible to Civ

y mortgage for 81, 900 held by the Mutul
