 Everett Black was circulating among relatives and friends Saturday and Sunday.
 The young folks still partiei- pate in their winter amuse ments. There were two parties in this neighborhood lastweek. One at Bud Homesleys the other at Allen Reynolds a nice time reported at both place.
 Corn planting seems to be the order ot the day. It Is something unusual in this country for the thermometer 10 stand at freezing point and an occasional snow flake drifting through the air when one is planting corn.
 Fires in the forests which adjoin nearly all of the farms in this vicinity have been causing some uneasiness. No particular damage done so far, although the farm of J. E Roberts came very near getting destroyed. Perhaps 1t would have been mad not Mr Bob Graham put out the fire which was near a vacant house Fighting against the fire in the wood was all that saved the fencing.

 It is only natural that the at tention of everyone should be al rected to the strawberry industr, just at present, and in doing st there Is nothing discouraging tC be seen, in fact the situation Is very fattering, always of course considering the season that will intervene before the maturity of the crop.
 Yesterday Il number of promi- nent growers were discussing their prospects at the office of J. l.. Req, and they were all of the opluion that with favorable weather from this time on ship ments would begin about the 20 of April. and a week later or about the same date as last year, they would begin shipping in car load lots. Again, they are of the opinion that when the plants begin bearing the fruit win form and mature much faster, thu. giving them heavy shipments from the very beginning of the season. This insures good prices for a muca larger number of car loads than heretofore and our growers are feeling very ju> bilant.
 The bad weather of the past tew months has retarded the get ting ready for the harvest time but they will have everything ready by the time harvest begins. A great many plckers are now encamped about the larger farms and are finding what employ ment they can, and are waiting for active work to begin.

WEST FORK,

l know that, when the read CTS of TIE NEWS see the head ings within its columns, they will not fail to discover the one headed West Fork" as it is so seldom one sees anything in the papers from this thriving little town. l also feel sure they will wonder who the writer is l would answer that by saying that he is one of those fellows who believes in expansion and that is why he is desirous of seeing the newspapers say something about West Fork. We are satisfied that if the country here was more generally ad vertised that those hunting homes might occasionally stop among ns and assist in develop ing our resources
 There are many advantages here for the industrious. Those who do not wish to in vest their money in costly homes could get homes here at low figures. Oar people are
 
 alive in the fruit industry both small and large. While the acreage utilized in small fruits is small yet, the time Is not far distant when We will be shipping in car lots. The acre age has quaarupled in the last twp years and of course will continue to increase. The small fruits are strawberries, raspberries and blackherries. There is no soil better adapted 10 fruits of all kinds than this. When it comes to the produc. ton of apples no section will outstrlp this according to the people engaged in the fruit business In the year 1897 those who Were engaged in buy ing and shipping apples ship ped one hundred cars from this little town ana if this season is favorable there will probably be many more shipped. So, Mr. Editor, when you find homeseekers a; your place and can't suit them around your beautiful city send them to West Fork and they will find good inducements to stop.
 They will find good schools and churches and a kind and hospitable people, who will try to make them like their new homes and desire 10 stay. We have as good business men as you will find anywhere Our public school is still run ming with fair attendance West Fork Milling Go is doing an excellent business under ihe direction of the gemal miller Jack Written. The Sunday School is being conducted ad mirably by M Johnson, the superintendent. IKe will close for fear this will reach the waste basket.

WANTS To SELL OUT
Selee Offers the Base
Ball Franchise
for $25OO.
MATTER BEING CONSIDERED.
Henry Brothers May Buy
But Want Selee to Re-
tain an Interest.
MATTER BEING CONSIDERED.

Another move has been made in the
Worcester Base Ball club deal.
Frank G. Selee, vice president and
principal owner of the club, offers to
sell the entire club for S25O0.
He has written to Paul ]. Henry and
NJ. A. Henry submitting propositions
concerning the ownership and half
ownership of the club He places him
self at their service for an engagement
at any time they may designate.
The Henry brothers nave the propo-
sition under consideration and will con-
fer with Mr.. Selee when they have de-
termined what position they will take
regarding the proposition.
The details of Mr.. Selee's proposition
as contained in the letter the Henry
brothers refuse to make public for the
present They are considering the mat
ter and desire to keep Mr.. Selee's pro-
position to themselves until they are
ready to give him their decision.
Although they do not desire to reveal
the proposition as made in writing by
Mr.. Selee, there is no doubt that it is
exactly similar to the verbal proposition
that Mr.. Selee made them when he was
here last, and which was told exclusive
ly in The Spy.
Mr.. Selee wants the Henry brothers to
erect grandstand capable of seating
1900, and right field bleachers with a
seating capacity of 1900, and to buih
the fences about the base ball park on
the proposed site in East Worcester.
Although the Henry brothers have not
made answer to him they have shown
no evidence of withdrawing from the
position which they took several days
ago when The Spy told of the only deal
that is on, while other papers sprung
deliberate fakes. At that time they said
they would purchase a half interest in
the club and then agree to build new
grounds.
The Henry brothers want to see the
| Worcester Club playing in East Wor-
cester, and they are willing to do every
thing reasonable to accomplish that
| end. They are not willing to bear
the entire expense for which they can
not be blamed.
They do not want to purchase the
| Worcester Club. They are willing to
purchase half interest and have Mr..
Selee retain his interest. as they think,
without him in the club. the value of
the franchise would drop a considerable
| distance.
They will await Nj. Selee's coming to
Worcester. and give him their answer
to his proposition.
| 1t IS possible that a compromise may
be . cted. If Mr.. Selee makes a fair
proposition, undoubtedly it will be ac-
cepted by the Henry brothers, in the
event of which the affairs of the club
would go along swimmingly.
They hold a trump card in their hand
with all others played in case thew want
to force the play. Among other things,
they have considered the building of an
athletic ground which would in
clude base ball ground and bicycle
track. On important dates to the base
ball team. counter attraction on the
new ground at East Worcester would
have dire effect. and cause the man
agement more loss in a month than
would be needed to build grounds now.
