A quart jar of beautiful honey
from the apiary of Rev. w. c. c.
Foster of this city was presented
10 the editor this morning with the
compliments of that gentleman, a
much appreciated gift. Mr.. Eos

in his apiary, which is about two
miles from town, and like the
typical busy bee, the little insects
more than repay him for the trou-
BILE of keeping them. There is no
country anywhere that affords more
honey producing blossoms than
this, where every month of the
year finds some plant or tree or
shrub bearing blossoms that are
rich in honey making material.
