We trust the promise of big
apple crop will he fulfilled. There il
no fruit which will equal the apple,
to eat from the hand or table, so many
different ways it may be served, and
wlthal no fruit has greater credit for
healthfnlneas, beneficial to bowels,
kidneys and blood. Reports from
the extensive apple orchards of west
ern New York show that the crop
will be heavy and profitable. This
apparently holds good all oyer the
| country, and it is being predicted
TINT the crop may be MS great as that
of 1896, which has hitherto held the
record. There is larger acreage of
trees now than there was then, which
are quite as heavily fruited, and the
quality is said to be unusally fine.
1t is not to be expected that prices
will run 10 high noxt winter as they
did year ago, but If there should be
an unexpected slump in the market
the farmer who has bearing apple
orchard may expect to make n nice
profit out Of the crop.
Many Of our people remember n.
! Petersen, the carpet weaver aud the
little building he occupied where now
stands the +. Wendt building. II
has been over twenty ono years since
he aud his family, consisting ola wife
andseyeral children left IIackettstown.
Adversely in business and sickness
had caused financial obligations to be-
come multiplied, but he left behind II
made it possible. To all, apparently,
but Mr.. Petersen, the matter had
passed from memory. Last Saturday
he visited Hackettstown for the pur-
pose Of paying of the long standing
debts. BY some the accounts had not
been preserved, but Mr.. Peterson Ind
carefully kept each one with the
hope that he might "owe no man any
thing" Among those to whom he
was indebted were Il. G. Plate, Sr.,
W. &. Sutphin, Klotz e AckIey, es-
tate Of Il, Wendt and estate of NJ. II
Num-. In each case he insisted that
interest be added but each creditor
being impressed by the mans integ-
rity, refused to accept only the origin
al debt. Mr.. Petersen is now resid-
ing in Passaic and employed in mill
work. Through frugality he had
saved sufficient to meet his long
standing obligations. = Warren Re
