During the past week it has been conclu-
sively demonstrated that to all present ap.
pearances the fruit tree bloom has not been
damaged to anything like serious extent.
The bloom is abundant and promises well.
A truly busy and almost bewidering bust
ling locality it is since Mr.. j. w. Creeger
has added shingle mill to his already ex.
tensive manufacturing plant
In order to meet the demands of his in
creasing trade miller VIM. Cover has sup
piled himself with a larger wagon with
which to deliver goods.
Delivery teams of our house furnishing
stores have been kept busy during the past
several weeks delivering goods in and north,
east, south and west of town. The demand
in that line seems to have been abnormally
good in fact business seems to be all around
brisk.
Eggs by the ton are being traded IN by our
storekeepers. One house alone having ship
ped to Baltimore over 1000 dozen last week.
The drouth has been broken.
The three draw kilns that Xr. Daniel

early last fall and which were wrecked by
the winter frosts, are now being rebuilt.
Portable mills are now at work on the
premises of both Mr.. j. r. Stoner and Flank

ed this spring. For the woodwork of both
structures Duble Bros, of Mo,ters, have

northeast of town.
| Mr.. Josiah Freeze, certainly Il CLARION
patron, has added to his farm wagon shed,
and Mr.. G. l. Creeger has improved his Car.
rol street home with carpenter shop.
And what about repairs' Well, the winds
rain, snow and sleets of the past long drawn
out and pernicious winter seem to have
been duly delegated to wriggle to pieces
fencing, smash down shrubbery, trees and
trcllis, scour all the lime off of white tewashed
surfaces and lucky is the house and land
owner who has not whole lot of repairing
to do.
By the recent fire In Mr.. A. Orndorf g
store at Franklin Mills the stock of goods
was damaged TO the amount OF eight or nine
hundred dollars. which amount will be fully
met by the Carroll County Mutual Insurance
Company.
