An interesting incident showing the

deal came to light few days ago.
Five frame houses on Burroughs street
near Henry, had for a long time proved
a dismal failure to their owner, as
for some reason they could not be
rented. This being the case they were
put on the market, and the price asked
for them decreased from time to time
without, however, attracting a pur-
chaser until a few weeks ago, when
they were bought by Mr.. c. F. Full.

His friends were inclined TO think
he had bought a white elephant. hu:
with few carpenters Mr.. Fulton went
to work to remodel his newly acquired
property and the present arrangement
proved so attactive that he has found
no difficulty in renting them at figure
even in advance of that originally
asked for them.

PEACH GROWERS CoNTENTED.
Are Well Pleased with the Prospect
for the Fruit Crop.


for the Fruit Crop.
Mr. r. L. Pritchard, land and indus
trial agent of the Central Railway, re-
turned recently from trip through
the peach-growing section. He reports
the fruit as in excellent condition, and
the growers are well pleased with the
prospects. They expect a medium
crop and in that expectation they find
greater satisfaction than they would
feel II their trees were loaded down
with the young fruit. When peaches
are too thick on the trees the growers
have to have some of them picked off
in order that the boughs may not be
broken by the weight and because
those remaining grow to larger size
and have a better flavor. Better prices,
too, prevail when there is a medium
crop, and the expense of handling is
not so great.
