THAT EVER FRUITFUL TOPIC.


The weather is as changeable as
woman's mild. Yesterday was GER
tainiy day OF rain and today the

roads are streams of water, many
places resembling lakes.
The Progressive Farmers held a
very interesting NEE ting last We'd
nesday evening at Murray Hall.

Success of Spraying Fruit Trees.
1t was shown what success there is
in spraying, and Mr.. Luther Nichols,
of South River, gave as evidence a
basket Of apples raised on his farm
and all of the trees being sprayed
There were just thirty apples in the
basket, most of them weighing one
pound, while the rest did MT weigh
three-quarters. The trees are beau
ties, so green and the bark is very
smooth. They are the picture of
healthy fruit trees All should FOL-
low Mr. Nichols example.

Last Saturday night the Iglehart
coon hunters club had another out

Saturday was very successful. They

them two more coons could have been
captured. All eajoyed their hunt very
much, as the dogs are beginning to
get warmed up to their hunting.
1t is with gre at sorrow we have
learned of the passing away of Mr..
Herman Holden and under such sad
conditions. We all, not only in the
county where he has entertained so
any, but also in the church and other
| entertainments. He will be missed,
as he was always ready and willing
to help and offer a pleasant smile and
handshaks. We all extend our sym
pathy to his widow in her bereave-
ment. He is not dead, but only gone
before, and perhaps is much happier
| and out of all trouble.

has bought the woodland next to Mr..

Iglehart, which has been used in
clearing so much ground in so short a
time.
