WORTHLESS CHECK.

The story is told to US that two of
our fruit growers, who do not belong
to the Fruit Growers Union, took the
responsibility of selling their peaches
this season on their own account and
judgment Two buyers from the north
struck the town and bought car load
from each. They were shipped as per
direction. A check came back for one
OF the sellers for his car load, and the
check on presentation at the bank
proved worthless, and the other has
not even received a worthless check.
The slick ducks reaped the reward of
honest industry by rascality.
