BIG APPLE CROP.
Berkeley County Takes the Lead in
Fruit Producing.

MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Oct. 81
Berkeley county this year takes the
head OF theeolumn of fruit producing
counties in West Virginia. The crop
of apples this year will bring far
more money into the county than
the wheat crop. The seasons out
put is conservatively estimated at
100000 barrels. 1t is stated that
the output OF the orchards owned
by the Miller Brothers, who are rec
ognized as the most extensive
fruit growers in this section of the
county, will bring into their peck
cts $4,000 Their orchards are 10
Gated on the famous "Apple pie
Ridge" the soil of which is peculiar
ly adapted to the growing of apples.
Some of the trees planted on this
ridge bear fruit IN an astonishing
quantity after having been planted
only four years, while the usual age
of an orchard before bearing fruit
to any extent is IL years.
The average price which apples
are bringing in the county this year
ranges from 50 to 1925. This price
is paid by the apple buyers for the
apples on the trees, and they are
picked and shipped without any ex-
pense to the orchardists. The coun-
ty is nearly covered with young or
chards and in a few years there will
be but very little wheat raised in
Berkeley The farmers are nearly
all giving up wheat raising for APP
pie growing, there being about twice
as much money in the latter in this
section, where the soil is so well
adapted to the growing OF apples.
The orchardists hesitate about
planting out young trees this tall on
account of the notice sent out by
the state entomologists that next
year is the time tor the sevenyear
locust pest, which pest is great
enemy to the apple trees.

the Vicinity Of Morgantown-D Dean
aud Hoffman Get More Men TO Work
on Street Paving.
Application was made this week
at Harrisburg for charter for the
Ii. G. Huston lumber Company with
capital stock of sixty thousand
dollars. At the same time the Som
erset lumber company was asked to
be chartered by the state of Penn
sylvania. Both companies are to
have the same members. IT, G. Hus-
ton and j. l.. Kendall OF Councils
vile and HI. II. Maust of Elk Lick,
Pa.
The head quarters of the new firm
will be located in the Shannon
building in Pittsburg and from that
point business will be transacted
The organization Of the new com
panies is in line with the greatly
increased holdings in timber ands
which have recently been acq uired
by the gentlemen composing the or
CARNATIONS.
They have a big tract of land up
the NJ & X. which they will proceed
to develop. This land has recently
been purchased by them from sever
al Masontown people the names of
whom were given at the time in this
paper.
1t is probable however that moth
ing will be done until next Spring
as the work during the winter would
not result in much good being ac-
compl'shed. Judge q. S. Kendall
says that when they get under way
fully two hundred men will be en-
ployed by this firm near Morgan
town
Twenty five men arrived last night
to work for Dean and Hoffman on
the street paving. They had wired
for them some days before but the
men were delayed in getting here.
AS many men could be found had al
ready been put to work by this firm
which is doing the paving in the
first and fourth wards and for Mrs.
Brown.
Bridge street is being paved rap
idly but the operations have been
stopped on it by reason of the lack
of brick. This will be remedied by
Monday as the brick company has
plenty of brick ON hand as soon as
they are cool enough to deliver.

He breaches His First Sermon Mt the
Christian Church Tomorrow Be-
comes Regular Pastor.
Few young men start in their
chosen profession at the age Of six
teen years. The ordination Of a
minister at that age is a rare thing
but it was at this age that Rev. Lo-
renzo A. Beard, the new pastor Of
of the Christian church, was ordain-
ed 20 the ministry. He comes here
from Lanark, ILL.,, where he has for
some time held the passionate OF the
Christian church. He was born at
Sabamonia, Ind, May 10, 1878. He
spent sometime in the Normal school
at Fort Recovery, Ohio, and later
studied in the University of Indi-
ana. His father was well to do but
the independent spirit Of the son i'm
PEELED him to make his own way in
The world. His zeal for Christ and
his natural ability as q public speak
er led him to devote his life to the
ministry and at 16 he was ordained
by the people Of his home church.
He ia now but % years OF age and
has already held Sc, eral successful
pastorates and has on numerous &C.
casions been chosen to deliver adj
dresses stor the G. A. r. and other
bodies and has always acquitted
himself creditably. He has also won
honors for his, college in debate and
athletic reports. One of his most
prominent traits is the zeal and en-
thusiasm with which he works. The
church here congratulates itself ON
securing him as pastor and is conf
dent that it will grow constantly un-
der his leadership. Mr. and Mrs.
Beard and their little daughter ar
rived in Morgantown to day and for
few days will be the guest OF Mr..
and Mrs. Clark, on Peasants street.
Mrs. Beard has already proven her
self worthy companion and assists
her husband in all his labors. She
is an accomplished musician and
her work as soloist contributes not
"a little to their success. They come
to Morgantown highly commended
by all among whom they have pre-
viously labored. Both possess rare
social qualities and always win and
retain friends. Mr.. Beard at one
time enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing the youngest ordained minister
in this country if not in the world
and his success has caused some Of
the leading periodicals of the coun-
try to give mention to him in their
columns.

Cariessness- Boy has Been Released
ON Bail-His Victim Lived Several
Days Before Wound Proved Fatal
UNIoNTowN, Pa. Oct. 26.- Berrian
Seamon, the l3-yeaF old son of ReY.
Seamon, a Methodist Protestant min
lister Of South Connellsvllle, was jailed
yesterday on charge of murder pre-
ferred by Joseph Goodman. Seamon
is the boy who Is alleged to have shot
Robert Grey, the colored boy, near the
Gibson school house on Tuesday after
noon, causing his death yerterday
morning 10 the Connellsyille hospital.
The prosecutor is the stepfather of
the dead boy.
Although the charge against young
Seamon is murder, writ of habeas
corpus was presented to Judge Rep
pert at chambers and the boy, on ac-
count Of his tender years, was released
at once, the bail being fixed at 81 900.
Coroner Taylor held post norton
examination yesterday afternoon and
will take testimony Sunday afternoon
in this case. Macy persons hold that
the shooting was merely an accident.
There were a number Of other school
children about at the time Of the
shooting, and all the facts will likely
be determined at the proper time.
The father Of young Seamon was
formerly pastor of the Methodist
Protestant church in Connelisyille.
He has family, consisting of his
wife and a number of children, and
for several years has been living
retired life at Gibson, near where the
shooting occurred.
Like many other boys, Berrian is
somewhat reckless. Some of the
school children who witnessed the
affair say that he pused the pistol in
the face of the Grey boy and remark
ing, "I'll try it on YOU" fred. The
general opinion about Gibson seems
to be that, although the shooting was
accidental, yet it was the result of
gross carelessness.
