The Apple Market.


There has been little change in the ap-
pie situation since last weeks writing,
and no big orchards have been sold in
this neighborhood, although it is said that
c. D. Wysong, acting for himself and
others, has inquiries from dealers for
large quantities of apples in carload lots.
Although the apple buyers deny the state
ment that there is combination, the
growers are still of the opinion that there
is something mighty like it, and trey will
sell on their own account unless the buy
ers pay the prices they ask. The situa-
tiun is bit strained.
The growers are beginning TO pick and
pack their apples in this section. Local
labor is holding out for pretty stiff prices,
and party of some forty pickerS from
the Luray neighborhood arrived on Mon
day and are now at work hereaboutS.
c. D. Wysong's orchards east of town
present wonderful sight at this time.
The trees are so full that many OF them
are breaking down under the great weight
of fruit. Bitter rot developed in these
orchards last week, but Mr.. Wysong got
busy at once and sprayed the fruit, quickly
checking the trouble, so the damage is
Slight.

Bold Attempt at Robbery.

A daring attempt to rob James E. Barn.
hart, agent for the Southern Express Com
panY at ShepherdStown, was made last
Friday night. Mr.. Barnhart was on his
way home about 9 O'Clock, and as he
was walking along the pavement he was
accosted by colored man in front of
DR.. GibSon's home, who told him that
his horse was sick in the stable. Mr..
Barnhart replied that his horse was in the
pasture lot, but, fearing that possibly
what the stranger had told him was true,
he hurried on to his stable. When he
got there he could not turn on the electic
light, which had been tempered with, and
in the darkness of the stable he was
seized by man, presumably the one who
had accosted him. Mr.. Barnhart grabbed
his aSsailant by the lapels of the coat,
and they had tusSle in the stable. Mr..
Barnhart is not in good training for fight
and finding that the rascal was getting the
better OF him, he yelled murder !" The
robber slapped brawny hand over his
mouth, scratching his face slightly, and
then threw him to the floor. He managed
TO call out again as the fellow was going
through his clothes in serach for his
pocketbook, and his daughter, Miss Hat
tie, heard him and raised window of the
house. AS she raised the window
screen fell out with considerable clatter,
and this evidently frightened the thief,
who released Mr.. Barnhart and ran away.
In few moments Town Sergeant Shipley
was on hand, with number OF other per-
sons, and search was made for the high
wayman, but he had made good his es-
cape. Aside from few scratches on his
face, and sore neck where his aSSailan
had choked him, Mr.. Barnhart was un-
hurt, nor did he lose any money, but he
was somewhat upset by hiStrying exper-
fence. There is a probability that the
robber will be caught, as he left his hat
behind him and there are some clues that
are regarded as rather strong indications
as to who the guilty man is.

Eating Poison Berries.

Mrs. M. H. Crawford noticed that her
turkeys and chickens were dying from a
peculiar disease recently, and was told
that the disease was '1imberneck," which
seems to be prevalent through this section
and in adjoining States. Mrs. Crawford
made an investigation, however, and dis
covered that the fowls were poisoned
from eating the berries of The deadly
nightshade plant, or belladonna. She
opened the crops of several fowls that
had died from the same cause, and in
each instance she found that they were
filled with the nightshade berries. The
plant is uncommonly plentiful this year,
and the fowls have been feasting upon it
with fatal result. The poison has prac-
tically the same effect upon the chickens
and turkeys that it has upon the human
system, producing deadly paralysis.
Mrs. Crawford thinks that investigation
will show that it is nightshade that's kill
ing the fowls, and not limberneck.
Mrs. Crawford says that doses of castor
oil and black coffee will cure the fowls if
they are not too far gone.

The County Court of Jefferson county
is contemplating change in its methods
Of road supervision, and has been giving
a good deal of time to this matter during
the past few weeks. A proposition that
seems to be regarded fayorably by a
majority Of the members of the court is
to abolish the office of county roads
engineer, whose duty it has been to have
jurisdiction over all the roads and who
has been in personal charge of the turn
pixies, and put all this work in the hands
| OF the road supervisors OF the several
districts. An adjourned meeting is to be
held on Friday of this week. when the
matter, it is expected, will be finally set
tied. The members of the court are as
ardently in favor of good roads as ever,
and the present discussion is only an
effort to formulate the most satisfactory
methods Of getting the desired results.
