Peach growers are not as con-
tidant that there will be a large
crop in this vicinity as they were
few weeks ago. There are many or
chards in which the buds have not
fruited and will consequently be of
little account. Others report that
their orchards are well filled and UNI
less something sets in later to destroy
the fruit the trees will be loaded.
Possibly the locality may have some
thing to do with the fruit but many
are of the opinion that those orchards
which have been cared for and cult
waited will be the orchards that bear,
while those that have been neglected
will have very little fruit.
Local.
A contemporary states the case
exactly in the following manner:
IF a newspaper man knew how many
knocks he received behind his back,
he would adopt another calling, "said
citizen the other day. The citizen
was mistaken. The newspaper man
who succeeds expects to be maligned
by every law breaker, swindler and
hypocrite, every carping critic and
every lover of notoriety who is ignored
and in fact, by all persons who do not
agree with him on public or private
questions. The newspaper man who
expects to go through life without be-
ing misrepresented and unjustly CEN
sured, should make arrangements to
die young.
