fruits, etc., came in dated from
Forsyth County, but we are located
in Stokes. We have a r. F. ID. line
from Tobaccoville, Forsyth County.
I hope the above explanation will be
allowed.
And now as to the fruit business.
Our people up here in Stokes can do
well for a variety; but it would not
be advisable to nlant many large or
chards here, nor to plant any sort
of fruit trees "just anywhere" re-
gardless of location, etc.
Much money and time has been
lost by not understanding these
things.
The first pear trees that had been
bought for this place, my father
bought two, and my brother John
planted one up on the ridge, half
mile from the stream; / planted the
other here on the low grounds, not
more than two hundred yards from
the creek. These trees were planted
some fifteen or sixteen years ago.
The tree that | planted died with
blight in two or three years after
planting-which was about as well
perhaps as if it had lived, because
if it had stayed there so near the
stream, the blooms would have been
killed nearly every year by the late
frosts in the spring.
Apples, of course, certain varieties,
often do well on the low grounds;
but not so with many of the vari-
Gus tender early blooming fruits.
Over thirty wears ago we planted
small orchard here near the stream,
not hundred yards from the water;
in apple trees mostly. Some of the
apple trees have been serving right
well, are full of fruit at this time

These Morillas succeeded to bear
right often, but they could not stand

of apples, such as Neverfail and
Limbertwig. / planted three trees
that we call sugar cherries" about
$50 yards from the stream, and about
thirty-fve feet higher than the water

other cherry trees.
mention this deliberately in order
to say that these fine cherries will
not succeed here in the low grounds
at all.
These sugar cherry trees were in
good soil. and had a good chance for
fruit, as to soil, etc., but we never
succeeded to get a handful of cher
ries from them; the trouble was that
the bloom was killed by the frosts.
These three trees were cut down
about eighteen or twenty years after
being planted.
Upon the high ridge lands, near
King, and any other elevated lands,
any and all sorts of cherry trees are
regular in fruit, bearing nearly every
summer.

'Of late the magazines and daily

of criticism of certain life insurance
companies, and especially with regard
to The legal organizations otsuch COM

control. These criticisms do not ap-
Div to the Pacific Mutual Life lnsur-
ance company of California, but dem

that for policyholders The Pac1tlc
Mutual has the best legal organlza-
ton
1T is not controlled by one OF two
men having no pecuniary interest or
responsibility save as policyholders
Or recipients of salary, bur is controll-

amount Of the company's stock, and
poEcyholders as we'll. The directors
of the company are men OF high IL
nancial and commercial standing, and
by law made responsible for the acts
of the officers of the corporation.
"The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
company has capital stock Of $780,
600 fully paid up in gold coin. While
this capital and the stockholders re-
sponsibility afford to policyholders
the greatest security, it costs partlc-
ipating policyholders nothing, but
every dollar paid into the company oy
them. and the accumulation thereon,
is applied for their benefit. There is
no other life insurance company
transacting business in America whose
policyho1ders, by legal enactment
are so safe-guarded as are the poll

Insurance company of California.
To these measures for lasting. Sc

A policy in the Pacific Mutual is con-
sequently a perfect contract OF IN

all points for all time, and can be pos
itively relied upon to effect the aims
OF the policyholder."

Designs-The Rain lnterferes.

Last Tuesday was what is known
as opening day in Newberry. The
millinery stores put on their prettlest
looks and everything was in holiday
attire. The rain which we so much
needed came about midday but it did
not keep the ladies at home. They
went from the city and came from the
county and from the adjacent towns.
The Newberry 1nilliners have long
been noted for their taste in making
the prettiest hats and the ladies in
wearing the handsomest dresses. The
displays on Tuesday were even be-
yond anything yet attempted in New
berry.

Mirnnaugh's.

Mimnaugh's large stock Of goods
was tastefully arranged from the front
entrance to the back A large dis
play OF dress goods was placed IN the
front of the store and at the rear an
immense display Of beautiful m!lli-
merry greeted the spectator.
Hats of every description could be
seen artistically arranged and trim
med in such a way as to display the
skillful manner in which they had
been handled.
Among a few Of the dress hats for
ladies was a very pretty large black
hat trimmed with two large white
plumes, one underneath the brim and
one on the top; also an Alice blue hat
trimmed in black feathers across the
brim which made very striking con-
trast. There were other hats in Alice
blue that were trimmed prettily in ro-
settles of ribbon, steel buckles and
other materials suitable to the color
and shape.
The shapes were of a medium size
but shapes that could be worn by most
anyone whether of fastidious taste or
not.
One of the prettiest hats shown
was a large flat hat OF receder green
trimmed in white wings and green
rosettes. Another pretty hat was a
gray fla! trimmed in old rose rosettes
and old rose wings. Another pretty
combination was of tan and green, on
a flat shape. Among some Of the
pretty hats was a white chenille hat,
trimmed prettily in two large white
wings, ribbon and steel buckle.
The ohildren's' hats were, if any
ching, prettier than they have ever
been heretofore. The large flat hats
seem to be the favorite shape for lit
tie folks; they were prettily trimmed
in all the leading shades of ribbon.
One of them that attracted a great
deal of attention was a large black
hat with an exquisitely made top and
two large black plumes.
Altogether the display was sue
cess and enjoyed by all who attend
ed the opening.
