read in the Lantern about some one In
Anderson county showing an apple thai
measured ~ iches around and weighed
pound, he didn't do thing but walk
out into his orchard and get two beau
tiful apples of just the same size and
weight and bring them to the Lantern
office. One of them measured the least
fraction over II inches around its
smallest circumference, and the other
was a little longer the other way thar
this one. They are of beautiful red
dish tint and fine symmetrical shape
We have not put a tooth in them yet
wherefore we claim credit for great
powers Of Self-reStraint.
