speak OF confidence advisedly. for
the reason that such untoward

much greater than ours. In Mich

of trees have been killed; this is
especially true of the peach. We
have lost no trees, and some Sec
tions will have considerable quan-
titles OF fruit to ship. Then the
small fruits are by no means a
failure. But We may be sure
that prices for all kinds OF fruit,
as we'll as those OF most vegeta

Come to think of it the bless

growers are so numerous that the
late spring frosts should serve a
good purpose in that it will cause
many to take stock of what we
have. For instance, we have but

MAY IMPEACH MILLER
CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST
 SELMA POLICE CAPTAIN.
City Council Will Take Testim0ny Concerning the Neglect by officers of the Late Ralph
 Lilienthal.

Selma, July s.--(SpeciaL l-Formal charges for the impeachment of Police Captain Miller were made against that official at the meeting of the City Council tonight. on account of the re- cent death of Ralph Lilienthal.
 Captain Miller holds an elective of flee and the city charter requires that when impeachment charges are brought against such an .official. he shall be given five days notice. and that what testimony there Is lntro- duced shall be heard at a special meet ing of the Council. This hearing of the charges against Captain %Ller will probably come up next week. and at the same time there will be heard sim liar charges against Policeman Burfitt.
 The making of these charges by the Council came after the reading of the third clause of Mayor Atkins recom- mendations. in which he asked that the Council make rigid investiga tion of the conduct of these officials in ar resting and confning in the city prison Ralph Lilienthal on a charge of being drunk and down, when he was criti- cally i'll.
 The second clause of the Mayors recommendations notified the Council that the term of office of B. J. Schuster on the Sinking Fund Commission had expired.
 Councilman Muellen placed Mir Schuster's name in nomination and he was unanimously reelected.
