The peach crop has passed through
the winter and spring without damage
from frost and the crop will be a
heavy one.
The cherry trees OF all varieties
are covered with fruit. even the ear
liest and tenderest varieties not hav-
ing heen injured.
The apricots, which for the past
two years have been short crop,
are literally covered with fruit. and
as the season on all classes is in ad
vance OF the average, they are now
about half grown
The apple crop covering all varie
ties is promising. Last year the
most of the Early Harvest trees did
not bear well. but this year they
promise to give a heavy yield, and
the same is true OF most varieties
| including the winter species. Ii il
certain that there will be many cal
| loads go out from this point this year
| This, taken with the fact that frui
has been badly injured in the centra
| west should make the coming seasoi
one of the most prosperous that Sai
Juan county has ever experienced.

FARMlNGTON's FRUIT CROP
is CERTAIN OF BIG YIELD
es-Hustler.

Times-Hustler.
1t is the consensus of opinion on
the part of those best posted that
danger from damaging frost is now
past and that we can figure on one of
the biggest fruit crops this year that
we have had. In fact, so far as ac-
tual shipments are concerned 1t will
probably exceed that of any previous
year. owing to the number OF new
trees that will come into bearing.
The editor has taken pains to inquire
OF our principal fruit raisers and has
found the opinion general that the
crop is now safe and the prospects
Gattering for heavy yield.
There are few trees and some
orchards that overbore last year that
will be short of fruit this. but that
will cut hut little figure in making up
the whole. as last years crop was
considerably under the average.

to a great distance on either side
of the village, and the natural seen
cry which greets the eye within the
range of the encircling hills, with
which the town is surrounded serves
to make it a place of resort Tor
pleasure-seeking parties; and many
excursions are annually made to the
place by Sabbath schools, picnic par
ties, reunion occasions, ETC., in order
to have a season of mirth and enjoy
ment. 1t would be a very difficult
matter to find another village OF
equal size in the state of Ohio, whose
name has become SO familiar in all
directions far and wide from the town,
and which is visited as much by tray-
elers and others seeking pleasure
and enjoyment as the little village
of Zoar.
The Separatists named their vii
lage "Zoar" in honor of the city to
which Lot fed when escaping from
the destruction of Sodom and Go
morrah, to commemorate their own
f1ght from German persecution in
the Fatherland. All the members
lived here or In the immediate visin-
ity until the dissolution Of the So
ciety, since which time many of
| them have removed to the lot or por-
ton of land assigned them in the
division of the property, which was
made in the final settlement when
the society disbanded.
