Pops Meet.

The Populist county central com
mittee met at Oliver Springs Tuesday
but on account of lack of full repre-
sentation no business of great import
ance was transacted and another meet
ing called to be held at Van Buren,
September 1s, when the election OF
officers for the ensuing year will take
place. The following set of resolutions
was unanimously adopted
RESOLVED, That we declare our un
alterable devotion to the principals OF
the Peoples Party as expressed in the
Omaha platform, and we condemn the
state policy that upholds such election
laws as we have. and which are un-
American and contrary to the principles
of true Democracy.
RESOLVED, That we denounce the
legislature of the past session in its act
of adjourning without making the
necessary appropriations, thereby com
pelling an extra session and also fol-
making most profiigate use of the
finances of the state, and of giving away
to a wealthy corporation large portion
of our public domain.

Getting Ready.

Mayor Smith office was the scene of
another meeting of the committees
having in charge the electric light cele-
bration Monday, and they thoroughly

The Peach Industry.

There is every prospect that the area
of peach orchards will be largely in
creased during the coming year. Some
placing the proposed increase at $500
acres. The past prosperous season to
the peach raiser will prove quite an
impetous to this branch of horticulture
There must, however, this fact be
taken into consideration that this year
while we had an unusually large crop
of fine fruit the section which usually
supplies the Eastern markets, and
which has greatly superior facilities for
shipping, was almost devoid of crop
and therefore not competitor of ours.
Could we, under average conditions,
compete with them is question each
grower will have to determine from his
own conclusions.
There is this much, however, to be
said that one crop of fruit under the
conditions prevailing this year will
bring in as much money to the same
acreage as would a four or five years
continuous cotton crop at the prevailing
prices.
This is not intended to discourage in
tending peach growers but to put them
on their guard against making it their
sole product or allowing their anticipa
tions to carry them too far
While during a portion of the straw
berry season we have no competition in
the markets worth speaking of, even
though the crop should be large every
where, we have such competitors
during the peach season. Possibly new
markets may be found where we can
find buyers for our products, and we
think it would be we'll for our horticult-
ural association to get more information
on the subject of peaches-like they
have done about berries.
