APPLES ALL RIGHT.
First Reports Of the Rnination Of
Apple Crop were Unfounded.

lis stated by an investigator who
has been making some inquiry of
the apple trees that there will be a
good crop Of apples this year. At
first it was reported that we were to
face another failure and every one
was feeling badly about it. They
will be glad to learn that the first
reports were exaggerated and that
we are to have fairly good crop.
The frosts and freezes of the early
sprIng did not do the damage that
was expected. 1t may be that the
apples will tall later on but so far
things are looking good.

They have all happened under the

Some OF the cases reported would
indicate that tile Ink came from a POI

cleveIand's Opinion of Newspaper Men.

Elk President Cleveland, in a re.
cent utterance concerning the press,
said in speaking OF newspaper men;
They are good friends to have;
men of broad and catholic sym
pathies and full understanding of
the weaknesses and frailties of the
race, quick to recognize and support
its virtues. Therefore the man who
is in the business of harboring no
goodwill toward the newspar er man
is in losing business"

Faith In the Future Of their Town

+. G. Donley has been over about
Masontown looking after the lot
sale which is to take place there

in the affair. They think that the
Deckers creek valley from Morgan
