THOSE FRUIT TREE LEGENDS
story of ADDOmRttOx Apple Orchard
Blooms In All Kinds of
Seasons.

Paragraphs have recently been appearing
IN newspapers that "a young apple tree Is
to be planted to replace the old apple tree
under which Lee surrendered 70 Grant at
Appomattox."
This apple tree legend survives the years
and all attacks upon II. II IL such a pleas
ing legend that people persist in believing
It. These fruit tree legends. the Grant
apple tree and the George Washington
cherry tree. are a great deal harder than
the fruit trees and live TO ripper age.
Lee did not surrender under an apple
tree. but In the parlor. on the left of the
entrance OF the house OF Wilmer Mclean.
on the main street OF the village OF Apo
mattox.
And 1t may take some OF the bloom off
the story TO announce that April. 1865. was
a backward month. and that at the time
OF the surrender, there was not a leaf or a
blossom on any trees around Appomattox
Courthouse.
April Grant wrote TO Lee OF ''the hope
lessness of further resistance on the part
OF the army OF Northern Virginia" Later
the same evening Lee replied that though
not entertaining the opinion you express OF
the hopelessness Of further resistance on
the part OF the army OF northern Virginia,

effusion OF blood ana. therefore, before
considering your proposal, ask the terms
you win offer on condition OF its sur
render"
Grant replied the next morning that
Peace being my great desire. there Is but
one condition that would insist upon
namely that the men and officers surren-
dered shall be disqualified from taking up
| rrna agafnaf fha orotyarnraauf Of fha TTnitad
States until properly exchanged" At mid
night. April s. Colonel Whittier brought to
Grant a letter from Lee proposing a meet
ing at 10 a. m. April Q. on the old stage
road to Richmond between the picket lines
OF the two armies Grant answered that
he could treat only OF surrender. Lee then
requested an interview; Grant Rssented and
sent his answer by Colonel Babcoek. who
delivered It 10 Lee, whom he found resting
by the roadside in an apple orchard. The
result OF this correspondence was the sur
render conference At AoLeAns house

When one Of the Smiths went out to the

at night to see how the bird was getting
along the rooster was so drunk II thought
day had broken and began 10 crow. Since
