There'H Be Peaches This Year

There'H Be Peaches This Year.
1t is generally accepted that when
the thermome ter falls Is degrees below
Zero that it is all up with the peach
crop for the next year and In SO cases
out of 100 this is The truth. But 1t
depends TO great extent on co.,
ditions as to how much cold 1t takes
to kill the fruit buds. In some years
they are killed by much higher
temperature than In Others. When
the tree has made very late growtl
Ia the fall IL is much more susceptible
to cold. Following a dry fall 1t takes
a greater degree OF cold TO kill the
buds than If the fail had been a wet
and growing one. This last fall was
dry In most localities where the Mail
and Breeze clrculates and all wood
ripened up we'll. For that reason It
is not probable that we will have
weather cold enough to kill peaches
this coming winter. 1t Is seldom that
Is below Is reached In much OF our
territory and for that reason we may
feel safe Ia promising ourselves
peaches for 1909. The spring freezes
are the ones to fear aud 1t seems time
now to have decent spring after
having had two such as 19O7-s given
us,-Mail and Breeze.

Of Trade livery barn on West First

property was destroyed.
There were 165 horses In the barn
at the time Of the fire, and nearly 100
were burned to death.
The fire originated from q brazier's
torch. in the rear on the First street
, floor. The blacksmith was engaged
at brazing wheel on q hack, and the
fire was communicated to the floor.
The fire was confined to q small space
and Captain James Sullivan. the pro.
prietor Of the livery. and one or two

The battle Of the FIVE men to save
