Dried Fruits.

EDITOR STANDARD: We are so Of
ten asked, "What are dried fruits
going to be worth?" that we feel in
clined to give your readers what little
information we have been able to
gather from various parts of the
United States. We can not give a
satisfactory answer. From the best
information we can get from the
informed, there is pretty large crop
of apples as well as blackberries.
In some parts of New York, and
in fact, some other apple growing
sections, the crop is short, but taken
as whole, it is thought the crop will
be large. This being the case, we
will necessarily have much lower
prices. There will be good demand
for nice, bright, well cut and dried
apples, but prices will be in proper
ton to the quantity offered on the
market. The blackberry crop is
very large, and if pretty well dried,
prices will rule low. For several
years the demand lor blackberries
has been less and less every year, and
this, with the large crop, will likely
cause them to open low. There were
also some old berries carried over in
cold storage. Peaches, like blackber
ries, for some years have been il
less demand and consequently they
may run lower in value.
We are of the opinion that apples
if nicely dried, either in sun or evap
Grated, will be in better demand ant
at better prices than any other kline
: of dried fruit. 1t is very importan
} this year, in fact every year, tina
dried fruits should be nice and bright
, But as to what the prices will be W
} can't tell yet. We think the first o.
: the market, if good quality, vii
| command the best prices. Every
} body must be their own judge as t
f when to sell.

Death Of Rer. ID. r. Ritchey.

Rev. David Preston Ritchey was
born in Blount Co., Tenn. Feb. II,
1908, and died in this place June 81,
1891, being at the time of his death SO
years, months and 10 days old. He
was married to his first wife, Miss
Stacy Brown, in Marion county,
Tenn, about the year 1929, and NOV
ed to this county in January 1881,
and up to the time of his death, Sun
day morning, 1890 o'clock, he lived
in this and adjoining counties. He
was a blacksmith by trade, and fol-
lowed this occupation for the support
of his family as long as he was able
to work. About the years 1898 he
was licensed and ordained to preach
the gospel by the McMinnville Pres
bytery of the G. p. Church, from
which time he faithfully discharged
his duty as a preacher, giving to the
church all the time he could spare
from his shop. How well he per-
formed his duty, and the faithful
manner in which he preached the
gospel in his plain and simple way
in many parts OF this and adjoining
counties, is better known to some OF
the older citizens who often heard
him. For several years he was una
BILE to work or preach, being feeble
in body and mind. He had been
patiently waiting for many years to
be called to his reward. This world
and its cares had lost their charms
to him. The religion he had preach
ed so many years to others was sui
ficient for him. Whenever his minC
was clear enough he always expires
sed himself as ready and anxious t
be called home. AS above stated, HI
died Sunday morning, peacefully
without struggle, and his spirit re
turned to the God who gave it. OF
Monday at l o'clock he was burieC
by the side of his first wife, in tn
cemetery at the Armstrong meeting
house, near Irving College.

1t stands to reason that a medicine

The National Treasury Bankrupt.
Ex-Governor Foster, In assuming the
duties Of Secretary of the Treasury, has
turned over 10 him bankrupt National
Treasury, the enormous surplus having
disappeared under this corrupt Repub-
lican administration. like snow-fiakes
before a warm midday sun. The
monthly Treaaury statement made on
the LIST of February show that the
enormous surplus left by Cleveland's
administration has totally disappeared,
aud that the Government officials are
raking the bottom of the Treasury
vaults for subsidiary silver coinage.
According to this statemet "the net
cash balance" i'm the Treasury on the
LIST instant was S50,630,707. Included
| in the "surplus" are the funds deposited
| by the national banks to redeem their
notes, amounting to S54 ,207 ,975, and the
fractional silver currency, amounting
to SIG. .249, ,S99; making total of S74,-
457 ,Sl4. When it is considered that the
$54 900, 900 of natioal bank funds does
not belong to the Government, but to
the note holders, and that the $50, 600
600 of subsidiary silver coinage is not
available for payments the actual con-
dition of the Treasury will be best APP
preciated. Instead of having net cash
surplus of $4,000, 900 the Treasury
bears the appearance of having a con-
siderable deficit. The only thing tina
prevents financial embarrassment is the
fact that the holders of the national
bank notes do not present them for
redemption.

THE BOUNDARY LINE.
THE STORY OF TIE ORIGINAL.
SURVEY OVER NINETY YEARS
AGO.
The Question at Issue Has Been De
cided by the United States su-
preme.

kendAllVule Standard
The matter of the boundary line be-
tween Ohio and Indiana has been for
years the source of some agitation with
in the territory affected, and of late has
been the subject of good many para
graphs In the newspapers.
The story of how the land happened
to be surveyed as it now stands thus:
In 1887, when Virginia by ordinance
ceded the Northwest territory to the
United States and later, when Ohio was
erected into State, it was ordered that
the west line of Ohio should commence
at the junction of the great Miami and
Ohio rivers and extending thence due
north. There were at that time two
hourishing Indian trading posts at
Richmond aud Ft. Wayne. These
traders whose occupation would be
gone were they taken into the new
state of Ohio brought such influence to
bear upon the surveying party that
tbey were persuaded to defect
the line to the East, so that
when they reached the northern limit
they were twelve miles east of the point
to which direct north and south line
would have brought them. This trl-
angular trip the state of Ohio claims is
equivalent to strip six miles vide ana
two hundred miles long, or l,2OO square
miles of territory. 1t was many years
before the mistake was discovered, ana
It held that the practically undisputed
possessions by Indiana all these years
will serve as bar against any proceed
ings to disturb the present boundary. +,
Should new survey be ordered, and
the line located at accordance, Indiana
would lose the cities OF Richmond
Union City and Decatur, but the line,
would lack few miles of cutting out
Ft. Wayne, as the post traders OF hun
dred years ago feared.
Gov. Hovey is quoted as saying
"There is nothing in the claim-noth-
ing whatever. It's all bosh. From
1916, yea from 1900, the line in question
has been with the borders of Indiana
That Is ninety years ofpossession. And
that possession alone, undisputed as II
has been, will be sufficient to settle the
question. The dispute we had with
Kentucky about Green River island wa:
very different question. We had NJ
right to the island and the Supreme
Court decided we had not. But thi'
Ohio boundary story is not worth the
paper it is written upon. The land was
occupied and the people have been pay
ing taxes in Indiana with no agitation
of the question at all. The Supreme
Court of the United States, if the mat
ter ever came before it, would, in m!
Judgment, be very loath to disturb any
occupancy of ninety years."
Hon. John M. Smith, a prominen
lawyer of Union City, claims that tn
matter of the line between Ohio ant
Indiana is settled by decision of tn
Supreme Court of the United States, re
ported in Howard U. s. reports, rem
aered in case between Massachusett
and Rhode Island. The decision wa
to the effect that when the line be
tween twostates was wrong, acquies'nc

THE CHINESE MUST CIvILIZE.

Whilst Europe is preparing to fight and
is liable to soon indulge in great war, it
looks as if the next fighting nigh. occur in
China, the war being one in the interest of
civilization and enlightenment. The great
nations appear to be getting ready to open
that mighty empire of the east to the civil
ization of the west, accomplishing by the
force of arms what they have failed
through centuries of effort to achieve by
peaceful means. The Chinese do not want
the Bible and Christianity, but Europe and
America say they must have both. The
Chinese have long tolerated the presence
of Christian missionaries, but have not
found much use for Christian doctrin ga :.
and latterly have manifested in decidedly
vigorous manner their dislike OF the for
eigners themselves, in some instances 90
ing SO far as to kill the preachers and de-
stroy the mission houses. The result will
doubtless be a combination on the part of
the Christian ministers to whip the Orien-
tails into some sort of acceptance of what
we insist upon sending them for their good.
First, there is to be a naval demonstration
which will be made for its moral
effect; but inasmuch as the Chinese
are not susceptible to displays in.
tended for scare purposes, the exhi.
bition Of war ships will naturally be
followed by show Of different character
and one which will carry with it a certain
{! kind Of conviction even to the Chinese
