Uses Of r. B. Sanders, a resident OF
Second street, which after producing
bountiful supply of pears, has its
second crop almost as large as pigeon
eggs, also a peach tree of the Early
Canada variety on the premises OF a.
T. Russler, on Liberty street, after
bearing full crop, is at present fairly
we'll supplied with bloom. Possibly
if two crops of fruit can be supplied
each summer the canning plant would
be kept busy.
We notice great quantities Of nice
ripe tomatoes being hauled through
the city in the direction of the can
merry 1t is said the amount supplied
is entirely inadequate to keep the per-
sons employed and the machinery
moving; but this is only beginning.
Next summer more attention will be
given to the cultivation of tomatoes,
and more territory consumed in grow
ing them, if there is more in the cul-
tivation of them than other crops.

One of ouv young local cyclists, re-
Gently in taking the usual evening
ride, met with what might have been
a serious misfortune. He had staid
longer with her than he had antici-
pated, and intense darkness prevailed.
Even the stars refused to shed their
light for him, and the moon was doing
service to people who do not inhabit
the United States; but the pike was
clear and he was sailing along at a
rapid gait. Whether he was think
ing of the girl he left behind, or OF
the majority the next President (Mc-
Kinley) will get is still mystery.
He was approaching tollgate, which
was closed. A collision was part OF
the result. The cycle jumped and
wabbled for time, while the young
fellow in a dazed condition gathered
himself together and informed the
gate keeper what his opinion was OF
him, in language not to be found III
Comley's Spelling book or Buck
Theological Dictionary. When your
correspondent saw him last he was
annointing his arms with Davis $
Pain killer, and to clear his voice took
an application of Bulls Cough Syrup,
as he said, just so he could go back
and tell that tollgate fellow a few
things he had omitted. We thought
he ought to have been pleased that he
did not smash his phiz.
What smiling aspect does the love
of parents and children, of brothers
and sisters, of friends and relatives
give to every surrounding object anc
every returning day With what Z
luster does it gild even the snall habi

dwells, where such scenes OF heartfelt
satisfaction succeed uninteruptedly tc
one another.
