Vincent Brown, son of D. w. Brown,
showed US some apple blossoms which he
picked from one of his trees last week.
He tells US that the tree had a large
numbe of blossoms earlier in the season,
but no apples. Mr.. Brown is apparently
planning to have some apples early next
spring when his neighbors are all out, but
he will have to keep the tree well blanketed
this winter or he will make failure.
Geo. w. BuzzelI walked into our office
this morning with a bundle containing
three kinds of apples, one sweet and two
sour, and some apple blossoms which he
informs us he picked yesterday (no doubt
he meant Saturday. afternoon from one
tree. Whether there are some pears on
the tree which he left to ripen we do not
know, as he did not state, but at any rate
the tree must be very valuable one as the
apples are all nice fruit.

Gods Word for the next year. Let it be a
Rally Day indeed.
Many of the old residents of the sur
rounding towns will remember William
Pitcher, now of Boston, but formerly of
this county. Mr.. Pitcher lived in Brown
ington for some time and later moved to
Albany where he resided for long time,
afterward living in Irasburgh and later in
Barton. Twenty-Five years ago he moved
to Boston and has never been in this town
since that time until last week, when he
came here to buy some horses, and meeting
many old friends he spent few days very
pleasantly with them. Mr.. Pitcher has
always been in the horse business. He is
now nearly seventy-three years of age but
to look at him one would not take him to
be over fifty. A few of the older residents
of this village remem bered Mr.. Pitcher
and gave him hearty welcome.
