Fancy Prices for Fruit.

The fruit which is being ped.
died through this country this
year is exceedingly high in price
Very few are able to have it on
their tables. We are at loss to
to know why this is so. Along the
line of road fruit and vegetables
are no higher than former years.
yet ordinary plums are worth poe
per pound here; cantaioups the
same and everything else com.
mands the most eXhorbitant prices.
We eau t no relief from this
fruit monopoly only by our peo-
pie raising their own fruit. In
the case of plums. aud small Der
ries, such as strawberries. raspber-
res and hlackberries there is no
reason in the world why our farm
ers should not cultivate them and
there is no kind of farming that
pays better than fruit growing
There Is no need that we should
pay these fancy prices for fruit
in Utah when We Fan grow
a better quality right at home, for
a third less in price.

Goodwin on Charlie Fair.
Charley Fair was a winsome child,
both he aud his brother Jimmie. Had
they been born poor they might have
carved out for themselves stronger
names than did their subtitle, mysterious
father. But they had not the strength
to bear great fortunes. Jimmey died
several years ago, and now Charley, in
his reckIessness, has been killed. 1t is
a pitiable ending. The name of Fair has
become extinct in a single generation.
Air. Mackay's oldest sol was dashed
against Il tree by a furious horse and
killed; the last FAIR boy was killed al

plenty of pluck in both boys, but little
discretion, and the deaths of the young
mel are pitiable reminders that great
