FRUIT WAS NOT
SERIOUSLY HURT
THE OPINION or FARMERS THAT
HEAVY FRosTs DID VERY
LITTLE DAMAGE.
PEACHES WERE WELL PROTECTED
With Favorable Weather From Nov
on The Yield Will 5e un-
usually Good.

The impression among fruit men
and farmers is that the heavy frost
and freeze Friday night did not Sc
riously damage the fruit crop and that
with favorable weather for the next
month or six weeks we will have an
abundance of fruit of all kinds
The fruit men say that the peaches
are protected in the early stages by
the petals and by sweet substance
surrounding the embryo fruit That In
addition the sun and wind Friday
dried out the blossoms and did not
leave them in a condition where a
freeze would hurt much. In add
ton they say half the peaches on
tree could be killed and the remain
ing fruit be all the finer and in great
est plenty.

Thursday night the lecture to have
been delivered by Judge H. H. Inger-
soil at the court house for the benefit
of the Columbia Military Academy IL
brary fund, was given to the students
at the chapel of the academy. The
friends Of the very worthy cause for
which the lecture was TO have been
given were very much disappointed
that the speaker could not be heard
at the court house. Many citizens
desired to hear him, but 1t was feared
that because of the cold and rain only
small audience would come out and
for that reason it was deemed best
TO change the lecture to the academy.
The audience was composed OF the
student body and the people living OH
tie compus.
? Judge Ingersoll was at his best and
/ he discussed in most entertaining
manner the theme "Old Hickory" The
speaker has a most intimate knowl
edge of the life Of Tennessee's great
President and he related many Incl
dents that are not generally known
to the people illustrating the strong
character and sterling worth of An
drew Jackson. The lecture was great
ly enjoyed by the students and the
faculty congratulate themselves upon
being able to have so distinguished
lecturer to speak to the young mer
upon a subject that is of peculiar In
terest to ali sons of Tennessee. Judge
Ingersoll returned this morning to hi
home at Knoxville.
