The Country Newspaper.

A grouchy subscriber complained to
Bert Walker of be Osborne fKan.)
Farmer because he would not reduce the
price of his paper, said he could get a
big daily almost as cheap. This led Mr..
Walker to grow sentimental. and he
moralized thus:
tbs thing of sentiment this little
old country newspaper. When per-
chance disgrace paints the scarlet let.
ter on the family circle, it listens to
the pleadings of the broken heart and
whispers not of it. When it does you
a favor you come IN and beg q few
extra copies. but when it steps on your
toes you drop around to lick the editor.
Without your dinky country paper your
towns and hamlets would be like the
man who threw kisses at girl in the
dark he knew it' but nobody else. did.
You might imagine youswere alive, but
other people would have to buy rail-
road ticket and come out and see for
themselves. Thus ends. the brief tale Of
the blooming old thing that isn't worth
three cents q week ~

Apples AtfWinchester.
Deal Becoming More Active ana Many
Sales Late This Week.

Winchester, Va, Oct 6 While the
apple situation is not greatly changed
in this section, there is some excite
ment in the deal apparent. and sales
are being made in good volume.
1t quietly leaked out this week that
the Balston Spa Refrigerating Co., of
Balston Spa. N. Y, had forfeited their
contract with j. L. Robinson for his
Il, 900 barrels of red fruit. The price
agreed upon was So for red fruit and
So 80 for Grimes and 81, 500 was depos-
tied with Mr.. Robinson, which amount
the buyers relinquished and gave up
the contract. The suppopition is that
the company thought they had paid too
much for this crop, which was bought
the latter part of July, and could better
lose the 900 than the possible loss on
srch large crop as this if they had
paid the original price. Mr.. Robinson
is now handling his crop through the
Sprint Produce Co., of this city. on a
brokerage basis but he will sell any of
it outright.
One.of the larger growers who has
not sold yet, says he has standing
Offer of $3.50 for No. Yorks and Bens,
and although he has been holding out
for 81. 65 it seems from the way he
talks that he will close at $3.50 before
the week is over.
l. !. i u
Some of the larger growers who will
store are beginning to talk $3.50 as the
high price and while they won't openly
admit it, it can be seen that they are
undetermined exactly what to do.
As anticipated, trading was very
active the last two days and fully 25,-
900 barrels Of apples have been sold.
The price has streng thened somewhat,
varying from s.. 40 to $3.50 for number
ono Yorks and Bens. The Yorks are
fine AID are bringing the Bens to their
price.
Several new buyers are in and it can
safely be estimated that before the
week is out that SC, 900 barrels will have
been sold A good many offers are
still under consideration. The Packer.

cording to a notice received last Tues
day he was still owing $45 for personal
taxes in connection with his implement
business. Mr. Hanson told the council
that this was the very first intimation
that he was so indebted. The taxes
presumably were for the building on

he had to add that on May / he had
