the greatest value to those who are inter

in Berkeley county last Friday, when ii
nal details were arranged in the sale OF

chard is one of so acres and is situated
near Falling Waters. 1t contains 5000
trees, eight years old, and is considered
one of the most promising in this section.
This year it will yield from 800 TO 1000

Tuesday afternoon a windstorm that
was sort of cyclone swept over this
section. AT the Morgan'S Grove fair

by VIM. T. McQuilkin, a mile or two
west of town. The storm swept over
his splendid young orchard and literally |
stripped the trees of their apples, which |
were just ripeningin fine style. Mr.. Nc
Quilkin thinks that from 1900 to |, 500
bushels OF apples were blown from the |
trees to the ground, and the only use that
can be made OF them is to grind them up |
into cider.
