CALHOUN STREET TO
BE OPENED NORTH?

BE OPENED NORTH?
At the adjourned session of the City
Council, Friday evening, City Attor-
ney David II. Robertson made his re-
port in regard to the opening of N.
Calhoun street between the properties
of E. D. Graham and Gus billiard. Mr..
Robertson said he had looked up the
title to this property and found it
was dedicated to the City in 1856 by
S. A. Craddock and no one could ac-
quire title to the property after 1865
He said he believed since the City had
the title to the street it should be
kept open.
C. A. Witherspoon moved that no.
tice be served on C. c. Wonneman and
Ed. O'Brien ordering them TO set back
their fences and open up the street,
provided Mr. billiard removes ms
fence. Mr. billiard has agreed to re-
move his fence if the street is opened
clear through.
Mr.. Robertson also reported on the
| action Of the commissioners in re-
gard to opening an alley in the rear Of
Mrs. Margaret Caves property. The!
found Mrs Caves damages would b.
$3.50 and her benefit 500. An assess
ment of $3.50 will have to be mad
against the "a lots abutting on this a
lev. The matter was referred to tn
Street and Alley Committee.

A BROOKS APPLE ORCHARD.

Joseph R. Littlefeld of Brooks, father
of county attorney Eben F. Littlefield
of this city, raised some of the finest ap-
pies this year to be found anywhere in
the country. Of 1900 trees In his orchards,
the varieties were Wolf River. AleXand
err, Wealthy, Ben Davis and Baldwin,
and many of the trees were SO heavily
laden with huge apples that it was neces-
sary to prop them up, over 700 props be-
ing used in one section. Even then
many of them were broken and the trees
presented much the appearance of UNI
brellas. Some of the trees are only from
10 to IA years old, while others, which
have borne heavily, are younger. A
man who has seen the famous Hood
River Valley in Oregon said he had never
seen anything like the trees belonging to
Mr. Littlefeld. While they have borne
we'll right along this is the first year
they have been SO very heavi y loaded.
Several carloads were produced and were
shipped to the New York markets Some
time ago Mr.. Llttlefeld raised apples
larger than fine specimen brought h re
from Massachusetts, growing five which
hung together on one limb, the smallest
being larger than the Massachusetts ap-
plies, and the largest enc weighing five
ounces more, or % IL ounces.

A DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.

Members of the Democratic State
Committee, the Democratic members
elect of the Legislature and prospee-

ference in Augusta Oct. 10th, and al
though nothing in detail was given out
for publication it has been announced
that Gov Elect Curtis emphasized the
fact that he made no promises, and he
believed it oud be well for the legisla-
tors to do likewise. The legislators were
urged to appoint rallying committees IN
the several districts to see that there
was full attendance at the coming Leg
islative caucus. A suggestion Of gen
eral celebration over the Democratic
victory did not meet with favor by Gov
elect Curtis and the movement was not
pushed. Chairman Read announced at
the close of the session that the word
Progressive" was not mentioned nd
that no attempt was made to interfer e
with any of the numerous candidates..
None. of the Progressive leaders were
present.
