is hardly a skip in the long, evenly
matured rows Of trees which now
contain a fruit yield that is surpris-
ing to the experienced horiculturist-
all well rounded and none of the
scrubby, knotty specimens are to be
found.
Last year when this ranch was
hardly under way twenty horti-
culturist from over the State visited
the place and the judgment of each
was that rich returns would be meeted
out to the Baileys when their fruits
became marketable, as the land,
location and general outlook was
favorable to splendid yields.
A number of other farmers in the
same locality have planted fruit or
chards extensively, but Bailey Bros.
are spending all their time on their
large ranch and we hope within
another season to see them get just
returns for their faithful labors in ex-
tending fruit culture in our County.

HILLCREST FRUIT RANCH.
J. w. Bailey, q Practical horticul.
turist Of Bates County, Carried
Away with Morgan for Com
mercial Fruit Culture.

But little has been said recently Of
the horticultural resources of Morgan
County and a thought suggested by a
stranger who is thoroughly conversant
with our admirable features for
commercial orcharding serves right
now a good purpose, from the fact
that many inquiries are coming to US
regarding this class of farming.
]. w. Bailey, a brother of Seth and
Bennett Bailey who own the Hillcrest
Fruit Ranch three miles south of
Versailles. was a visitor at their farm
this week. Mr.. Bailey is a practical
ho%rticulturist and owns several fine
fruit farms in Bates County, Mo-, and
also has some valuable holdings in
this county. He is carried away with
this locality for extensive orcharding
provided the right varieties are prop
agated and then properly cultivated.
His experience in orcharding is
worth much and he thinks no county
in the State has better land for apple
culture then Morgan County, and
commercial fruit culture must take its
place with our farmers if our county
is to be classed with other successful
fruit shipping centers of the State.
Bailey Bros. have been laboring
carefully but with more than ordinary
energy at their Hillcrest Fruit Ranch
in this vicinity. They have 800
acres in their ranch with 10 acres in
orcharding. mostly four-year-olds,
which are just coming into bearing.
The orchard is above the frost line
and they will have a good peach
yield, and although they are not
attempting to raise apples this year as
a commercial product the young trees
now bearing fruit show fine yielding
results, while the orchards contain all
the leading marketable varieties.
The Bates County brother is we'll
versed in pruning and has utilized
his experience in giving aid to his
kinsmen here, and he is as much en-
Unused with the outlook on Hillcreat
Fruit Ranch as the owners themselves.
The vast orchards are clean and there

Just From the Gold Regions.

Attorney VIM. Forman, who is now
located at Tonopah, Nevada, arrived
home last week just as we were going
to press and is now enjoying a visit
with his family and friends in YER
s%aillcs. Attorney Forman is doing
well in the new gold mining country
and has already acquired a splendid
legal practice. He states that while
the new country is enjoying a boom
the great San Francisco disaster was
a hard blow to that district, many Of
the capitalists having financial inter-
ests concentrated in the stricken city.
After a short vacation here Mr.. For
man will return to Tonopah and will
be accompanied by his wife and chill
dren. Judging from outward appear
anecs he is evidently in a healthy
country.

session of it Bragg could have held
Buell. out of Louisville Indefinitely with
much smaller force, while he went on
to the conquest Of the city. Therefore
at Salt River Bragg would seem to have
had Louisville in the hollow of his
hand. There were at most only two or
three veteran brigades in the city. but
multitude of new regiments were be-

Gen. Bragg had one psychological pc
culiarity which is strangely frequent in
many strong. decided, aggressive men:
that is. they finch and turn aside most
unexpectedly at the very moment of the
contamination of their plans. Hood did
this at Spring Hill. and Bragg generally
did it in all his battles. He never actual

Washington, D. c., May S, 1868.
General Orders, No. II.
/. The 30th day of May, 1868, Is des-
ignated for the purpose of strewing
with flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves Of comrades who died in de-
fense of their country during the late
rebellion. and whose bodies now lie in
almost every city, village and hamlet
in the land. In this observance no form
of ceremony is prescribed, but Posts
and comrades will in their own way
arrange such fitting services and testi-
monials of respect as circumstances NAV
permit. We are organized, comrades,
as our Regulations tell us, for the pur-
pose, among other things, "of preserv-
ing and strengthening those kind and
fraternal feelings which have bound to-
gether the soldiers, sailors and marines
who united to suppress the late rebel
l1on.' What can aid more to assure
this result than by cherishing tenderly
the memory of our heroic dead. who
made their breasts barricade between
our country and it's foes? Their soldier
lives were the reveille Of freedom to a
race In chains, and their deaths the
tattoo Of rebellious tyranny in arms. We
Should guard their graves with sacred
vigilance. All that the consecrated
wealth and taste Of the Nation can add
to their adornment and security is but
a lifting tribute to the memory Of her
slain defenders. Let no wanton foot
tread rude1y on such hallowed grounds.
Let pleasant paths invite the coming
and going of reverent visitors and fond
mourners. Let no vandalism Of avarice
or neglect, no ravages of time, testify
to the present or to the coming genera
tions that we have forgotten as a peo-
pie the cost Of free and undivided Re-
public.
IL other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack, and other hearts cold in
the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well
as long as the light and warmth Of life
remain to us.
Let US, then, al the time appointed,
gather around their sacred remains and
garland the passionless mounds above
them with the choicest flowers OF
Springtime; let US raise above them the
dear old Flag they saved from dfshonor:

OUR NATIONAL SABBATH.
President LincOln's Address at Gettys-
burg.


burg.
-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
new Nation, conceived in Liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that Nation, or
any Nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated, can long endure We are met
on great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate portion oe
that field, as final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that
that Nation might live. 1t is altogether
hitting and proper that we should do
this.
But. in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we
cannot hallow-this ground. The brave
men, living and dead. who struggled
mere, have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract. The
world Will little note, nor long remem-
Der what we say here, but 1t can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for MS
the living, rather. to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nObly adj
vanced. 1T Is rather for us to be here
dedicated TO the great task remaining
before us-that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full
measure Of devOtion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain-that this Nation,
under God, shall have a new birth Of
freedom, and that government Of the
people, by the people, for the people
shall not perish from the earth."
