W s. Goldsworthy | has volunteered to superintend the | packing and shipment of it every day. ! Those who are willing to contribute to ! this nice and effective way of adver- | Using should leave the fruit at the i board of trade room every day, where | t will be received and packed.

When the visitors eat the fruit | they will be more than ever encour- | lged to come and see where it grows |
