in case We have snow fall that will permit

ABOUT TIM PEACH j NJ. Slower, the
well known fruit grower of Edgenont was
in Hagcrstown Thursday evening In con.
versation with Globe representative, he
stated that the weather about Edgemnnt had
been considerably colder, he thought, than 1t
he'd been in that city. Thursday morning
was the coolest Of the season, the mercdry
dropping to four degrees below zero. He is
rather gralfied with the result. He says the
peach buds are only slightly advanced and
the continued trigid temperature viii have
the effect Of teat,'lue their advancement,
reducing the liability to Injury later in the
season He says the peach trees can stand q
temperature nov of ten degrees l'slow zero
wl'hou, injury and as this mark s not likely
to be reached, he anticipates no serious re-
suits for the present, at lcast.-Ca7cttc.

road independent of visiting pixies, which,
at $2 800 per milc, will cost $4,000 600, to
