Sells Fruit Crop.

Last week John Ashentelter OF Mont
rose county sold his entire fruit crop to
Chicago buyers, the price realized being
something over $4,000. The crop is to
be picked, packed and placed on board
the cars at Montrose. 1t is estimated
that his apple crop will amount to fully
5000 bushels aud his peaches will prob
ably fill 10000 or SIT 900 boxes. This
is not so bad for 400 acre orchard only
six years old With only about one-third
OF the trees old enough to bear fruit.
But apples and peaches do not include
all the fruit raised in the Ashenfelter
orchard by any means. There are pears.
pruues. apricots, cherries. and straw
berries to take into consideration when
it comes to estimating the total output.
This year his pears were knocked out y
the late frost, but he sold about 2oO
crates OF straw berries and his cherries
were the finest on the local markets.
Last yeat he shipped about three car
loads OF prunes and the crop this year is
equally as abundant or better than last

A Lucky Girl.

What a perfectly beautiful brace

them? I didn't tell you how it hap
pened, did l? Well, it was this way.
You know Cousin George has been
in Europe for about two yeare, and
he was engeged to some one here
so he says. Well, anyway, he brought
her the most beautiful lot of things;
but he wanted to make sure she
really cared for him, so before he
went to see her, be wrote and told
her that be had lost all his money.
I suppose she concluded there wasn't
anything in it tor her, go she wrote
him the frostiest note in reply. And,
of course, he did not go to Q her
at all after that. Then he didn't

Lever Triumphant.
Washington Post.

washington Iost.
Asbury Francis Lever, the youth
full representative from the Seventh
South Carolina district, has ust come
off triumphant in a contest with the
Post-oAfce Department. The depart
mont ordered the discontinuance Of
the post-ofice at Man7ille, Lee
county, S. G, which was established
more than 9 hundred years ago, and
the people of that community impress
sed upon MI. Lever that his political
fortunes depended upon the recall OF
the order of suspension.
Investigation disclosed that the
postmaster was responsible for the
suspension of the office. The old
fellow had held the place for nearly
a generation. He lived on a farm
outside the village, and only attended
to the business of the Office when he
had nothing more important or inter-
esting to do. 1t was because OF this
state of sffairs that the Office had
been suspended. The department
was entirely willing to re-establish the
Office if some one else were placedin
charge, but Levers adyices from
Lee county indicated that to GUST
the old postmaster would cause a
political revolution.
The matter was finally adjusted
by the postmaster giving a pledge
that be would pay more attention to
Uncle Sans business, and the Office
has been re. established with the same
man in charge.
