CHEERING WHEAT AND FRUIT NEWS.
What tho Cereals and Smaller Fruits
Promise in Henry.


Promise in Henry.
New CASTLE, May H. Special. THE
Democrat will say tomorrow that its corps
of correspondents in Henry county have
written that the outlook for securing
bountiful crops of cereals and fruit this

five years time or more. Wheat never
looked better. The recent light frosts did
not iniure il. There are farmers who hold
that the cool weather was benefit, as it
checked what appeared to be too rapid
growth. Corn is up and is thriving finely
Oats, rye and barley promise great things.
The grass and hay products will be fully
UP 10 the average. The acreage of pota-
toes planted is larger than that of last
year. in the northern portion of the

small fruits of every description, with
the exception of one or two varieties of
straw berries and a few grapevines here
and there, which were nipped by frOsts
early last week, will bear prolific crops.
Cherry trees are in vigorous condition.
The crops viii be large and fine. Currants
and gOoseberry bushes are healthy. The va
riOus varieties of raspberries will vieldfulI
returns. This is the bearing year for APP
pies. The crops, good judges say, will be
the most bountiful gathered in decade
Every kind of pear tree will bear well.
The outlook Tor securing a generous
yield OF peaches is excellent. The trees
wintered well. Havoc to the fruit buds
and peach trees is usually wrought in Feb
ruary. Parenthetically it may be noted
that the peaches grown in Henry county
are large in size, possess a fneness Of fiber,
taste and color peculiarly their own. The
soil, too, seems to be well adapted to grape
culture. Vines thrive in every locality.
The fruit is juicy to degree. The crop in
its entirety on account OF vines which
will come into full bearing for the first
time this fall. will be larger than that of
any previous year.

dora this afternoon Vance Heensucker, a
seven-year-old boy of Thomas Heensucker,
was shot and killed at his home. His left,
side, face and neck were partly torn away.

help themselves. They are becoming
nuisance to those along the river, as the
air is filled with the odor, and Mr.. kautf-
man has to remove great many from the
shore near his store each morning. Some
thought at first that dynamite had been
used. but no such destruction could have
resulted from the use of that explosive.

the straw board works at Anderson

ceive immediate attention from the proper
authorities. The fish commissioner has
