Apples will be small crop this
year. Many of them were killed
by the frosts that we had early in
the season and the dry weather
caused others to drop. The crop
will be small and the prices will be
high this winter unless other parts
of the state can help us out. 1t is
said that there are plenty of apples
in the Eastern end of the State.
Peaches are plentiful and they are
now coming to town. Some of
them that have been sold are of
very fine quality.

passed through the generations of
that family from his great, great
grandfather, until it fell into his
possession. Mr.. Roush works at
night on the railroad, and while
taking his usual nap yesterday,
dreamed of the razor, and thought
it bore a date of 1704 When he
awoke, he Immediately went to a
chest in which he has kept the
razor for several years, and picking
it up, rubbing the dust from the
aged tool, with the aid of a magni-
flying glass discovered the figures
"17;" whether or not the "04" lie,
or was on the blade, it cannot be
seen.
