the warm suns come they may possibly
be found dead and all drop off. Such
men as J. w. Cooper, Samuel Mann.

Harry Price and other say the trees are
well loaded with fruit and the outlook
encouraging. Kent News.

vice week in those days and i'm
'lbed too freely, have passed away.
Their boys have not, with few excep-
ions, followed in the footsteps of their
athers, but have turned their atten-
Ion to agricultural and other pursuits,
nd have made for their families COM
ortable homes, instead of wasting

'ar. The results accruing from no
license in this county, is evident on
very hand. Denton Union.
