The Apple Market.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 27.-There is
an active trade in apples and fancy
stock in Yorks and Winesaps is being
sold by dealers at $3.50 and upward.
Florida oranges are now on the mar
ket. The one or two cars received
here have not moved fast because they
do not look fully iipe. Sales have
been made around 1926 to So 80 per
bushel for immediate needs ialthcugh
large quantities for November have
been sold at much lower price. A
few Honduras oranges have beer Of
fered and have met with ready sale.
Concord grapes are higher and the
supply is not large.
Potatoes have sold generally under
81 during the week and cabbage Is I'M
charged.
New York, Oct. 27-The principal
feature of the apple market this week
was the abundance of second grade
fruit. The crop in western New York
Is pretty we'll housed and the growers
are now paying attention to shipping
the reflections and "drops." AS re-
suit. this market has been overstocked
with the latter grades. Fancy red fruit
however, was in moderate supply and
81 was realized on some Baldwins.
Most of the Bald wins from the Hudson
valley did not show up fine enough,
however, to exceed $3.50 to s2.75.
Kings, when highly colored, brought
81 To So. % and 3 few cars of fancy west

same. Ben Davis sold at 81 to $3.50
while fancy soft red table fruit sold

Serve Dinner and Supper.

The ladies of the Ladies' AidiSociety
of the NJ. +. Church, South, Arden /,
will serve dinner and supper at the
time of the corner stone laying Satur-
day, November 4, and the charge will
be the modest sum of % cents. This is
a small amount and certainly no one
would object to that amount for so
good dinner to say nothing of the
worthy cause.
There will be refreshments such as
ice cream, cake aad pies also served.
The good ladies of that section are
famed for their good cookicg and all
who partronizes them will get more
than the worth of his money.

Serious Accident.

On the evening of Mr.. Joseph N.
Payne's sale as Col. }. w. Dodd, the
veteran auctioneer was returning from
the sale he made narrow escape from
serious and perhaps fatal injury. He
was accompanied by Mr.. B. Shipper,
of near Jones Spring, who was leading
young horse which he bought at the
sale and when coming down the hill
at the Baker quarries some children
came down the hill IN a pony cart
yelling and making a noise which
scared the horse. The trighted animal
reared up against the buggy turning it
over with its occupants and crushing
the vehicle. Ashley went over,they fell
dangerously close to the brink of the
precipice of the quarry hole and had
not Mr.. Dodd's horse behaved with re-
markable gentIlity they would certain
ly would have gone over the brink.
Neither of .the gentlemen were hurt
but the buggy was wreck.

The Apple Crop.

| The apple growers of this section
have severely felt the need of an eff
ectlve organization for the purpose of
aiding them in the disposition of their
crop. This is the most important mat
ter confronting the growers. They
labor and toll all the year in the care
of their fruit and then for the lack of
organization sell their fruit to the
shippers for about half or two.thirds of
the market price.
The sooner the growers of Berkeley
county learn this lesson the better for
them. Growers of other sections have
set US good example in his matter
and it ought to be an easy matter for
us to follow though we ought have
been in the lead.
The following clipped from a Staunt-
ton, Va, paper tells us of the advant-
ages gained in having an effective or
ganization.
"With the'appIe shipping season on
in full blast and growers in Frederick,
and perhaps other counties, complain
il & of prices ranging around So bar
rel for pippins and from S2.35 to -. so
for red fruit, growers in this section
would seem to be especially fortunate
in having an organization, with head
quarters in Stanton, through the
activities of which much higher prices
are being obtained.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
years crop is only about fourth as
large as that eflsst seasou, the green
hooped barrels Of the Virginia Fruit
Growers, Incorporated, eon'ai ing The
peerless Valley fruit packed Ia the
most moiern and attractive manner,
are going from thirteen counties Of
Virginia TO points as FAR distant AS
four thousand miles, and the brsiness
of the organization, in spite of tile
shortage IN crop, is as larae or larger
than that for the year previous. SO
much in demand are Valley apples,
graded according tostriet specifications
and packed in she fa0 quart New T.oHA
standard barrel, that the Virginia
Fruit Growers have sold their entire
output Of +. r. =, pippns at "a per
barrel they are now selling +. f.
V winesaps at the same price aud for
lvrk Impeliais are easily obtaining
for their mem bers the price of 50 so
per barrel. Most of the Ben Davis
variety, for which price of So per
barrel is not deemed sufficient, will be
placed in cod storage with the view of
their commanding later a net price of
So. SO.
Consignments of fruit from the
stanton concern have found ready
sale in Hamour Germany, and Liver
pool, England, through the company's
special foreign represe NATIVE with
headquarters in London. Even in the
Middle West, where an enormous
apple crop was reported, several ship
ments of York and Winesaps have
gone from the Valley of Virginia.
Manager Moomaw is most enthusiastic
over the prospects of the Virginia
Fruit Growers who are still in their
infancy, so to speak, and with the in
creased confidence and cooperation of
the growers freely predicts, with
good crop next year, his organization
will do million dollar business"

Cut our Bullet.

DR.. T. X. Oates, Of the City hospita !
performed an unusual and difficult
surgical operation at his hospital on
Monday last The patient was Leslie
Painter, a negro boy who was shot
about year ago in a fight among his
colored brethren over a game Of crap.
The ball entered the neck and the
patient was paralyzed in the lower
extremities. The ball was located by
the use of big new X-ray machine
which the DR.. lately got in at the cost
of about 81 800 and several pictures ad
to be taken to definitely locate the ball.
1t was found inbedded against the
vertebra and the surgeon found in the
exploration that the spinal cord was
partially cut and that it would be i'm :
possible or next TO miraculous for the
patient to ever have the use of ibis
lower limbs. This is the first,operatio
of the kind ever made in this city,
John Creque was injured similarly but
he went to Baltimore and had DR..
Finney to take out the ball.
