The Grand Fruit Grow
ers' Association was reorganized last
Saturday by the election of r. Ii.
Hurst president and j. l.. Hunter
secretary and treasurer. About
twenty growers, who reside in the
neighborhood, will become mem
bers. Meetings will be held every
Saturday afternoon at O'Clock.
The object of the Association is to
increase interest in fruit growing,
to secure better freight rates, pric-
es, etc. This industry brings in
considerable revenue to the town of
Grand Junction annually, a large
amount of which is paid to the pick
ers and packers. We understand
that at present about 125 acres are
in cultivation in berries and between
300 and 500 acres in tree fruits
Each year the acreage is being in
creased.

Texas Cotton Acreage.

Houston, Tex, April 24.-The
Post will tomorrow issue a report
on the cotton acreage Of Texas. 1t
shows that the planting season is
fully three weeks late and much re-
planting to be done because of the
weather. There will be an increas-
ed acreage, though it is not posi-
bic to reduce the amount to figures,
there being a scarcity of seed and
planting not having progressed to a
point where the farmers can not
change their minds. Much land
sown to grain will be ploughed up
and put in cotton in the northern
portion Of the State. The boil wee
vii is already reported in the south
and southeastern portion of Texas,
and it is feared the aphis will attack
cotton in North Texas, where it is
young. Only a small proportion of
the crop is above ground and the
stand is not at all good.

BOLIVAR is a "dry" town,
saloons having been abolish
ed, but by no means a dead
town. Our merchants do a
prosperous business; no COM
plant is heard from profess
sional men; mechanics are
busy; laborers are employed
at a reasonable price-and
the real truth about the mat
ter is that Bolivar is one of
the most solid and substan-
tial towns to be found. Its
citizenship is refined and cul-
tured; its educational advan-
tages are unsurpassed, our
schools enroll pupils from
nearly every state in the
South; its healthfulness is
without a superior, second to
none. In fact, too much
cannot be said in favor of
Bolivar, and he who utters
aught against its fair name
or loses an opportunity to
speak a good word in its be-
half is no friend Of the town.

FINN AND HOLLAND
The Contending Candidates For
Speaker.
Many Aspirants For other lionors
and EmoIuments to be Bestow-
ed by the Legislature.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 10.--Next to
the senatorial contest, which is
agreed at Frankfort to be very
open fight, and claims first interest
as a race for large stake, conjec-
ture is busy with the speakership
contest. 1t is likely to prove very
pretty race, OF the four candidates
only two remain contenders. Ger
aid Finn, of Simpson county, or
Allison Holland, of Henry county,
will preside over the next Kentucky
house of representatives. L. e.
Weatherford, of Graves, and e. E.
Barton of Carroll, have been out
stripped in the active canvass
which the two leading candidates
have made. AS between the two
who lead no one seems ready to
pick the winner.
For speaker Of the Senate the can
didates are N. w. Utley, of Lyon
county; J. Embry Allen, of Fayette,
and George T.. Farris, of Garrard.
They seem to be running about in
the order named, but with no great
advantage gained as vet by either.
