might be proud. Rev. G.. w. Hyde was

At a meeting of the board of trustees of
Elizabeth Aull Seminary, last Saturday, a
step was taken that means much for that
institution. A new building was decided
upon at a cost of 10000 to be be ready for
occupancy at the opening OF school in
September. An effort Will Immediately
be made to raise $1,000 of the money in
Lexington while the Lafayette Presbytery
will be depended on to raise the Other
s. 5000 at it's next meeting to be held at
Pleasant Hill, April 10, and that it will
raise this amount there is no doubt. Hig-
ginsville and Marshall have both offered
inducements to get the Seminary moved
to one of these places. Lexington will
undoubtedly raise the money. She is too
proud OF her educational institutions to
let them be taken from her. The Eliza
beth Aull Seminary is one of the best
PRESBYTERIAN female schools in the state
and when this long needed building is
completed it will become second to no
other school in the west.
A prominent fruit grower of Verr on
county who has been car fully eXamin-
i ~ the fruit trees, says of the prospect (:
"rhe apple prospect is geo. |. Tieei went
into the winter in good condition, and if
the spring is favorable tn ere will e a full
crop. Peaches, only about one-half as
many fruit buds as there was last year,
and about one-half of them killed, but if
there are no late frosts to kill the remain
ing buds there will be enough left for a
full crop, and by being thinner on the
trees they will be much larger and finer
than last year and probably of much bet
ter quality. Plums, a full crop, especially
Wild Goose, Mariana and Miner. Cher
ries, good. Pears the same. ApIicots, a
full crop. Grapes never fail. Strawber-
ries never looked better, prospects for a
full crop. Raspberries, about three
fourLhs of n crop, the vines killed back
some. B~lackberries, full crop. Goose
berries, good. Taking everything together
there never was u better prospect for all
kinds of fruit at this time of the year
than at the prese 1t time.
