The Junior Missionary Society of
the Lutheran church will hold a lawn
party at 1.-The Cedars" this (Wednes-
day. evening. Call and get ice
ream cake and homemade candy.
We are requested by j. Furman
Norton, Of West Union, to make a
statement with reference to an item
which appeared in the report last
week Of the proceedings of Court.
The case reported was one against
J. f. Morton, but it had nothing to
do with J. Furman Morton, of West
Union, the party being an entirely
different man. Our attention has
been called to an erroneous state
ment made by us unintentionally, in
that ii was stated that there were
three cases against Aus Rutledge.
This, we are informed, is incorrect,
there having been but two cases
docketcd against him.

R. l.. Boggs, OF the New Hope
section Of Oconee, brought to The
Courier office last week some Of the
finest June apples we have seen. The
fruit presented to us was OF the Car
DINA Red, Amsterdam and striped
June, the fruit Of each variety being
perfect. Mr.. BoSgs states that he
has the best crops this year that he
has had in many years, and he gives
all the credit to his work OF system
attic spraying. From one tree of May
apples he gathered over eleven BUSH
els. This tree is an old one and had
been practically barren for three
years. vet after being properly
sprayed in the fall and spring it has
taken on totally new life. 4 pecul-
iarity about a cluster of red June APP
pies handed us was that the small
twig on which they grew was a sim
pie side shoot from the tree. There
were four perfectly formed but small
apples on the twig. Mr.. BOggs is
thoroughly converted to the spray
ing theory and intends to keep it up
on his whole orchard.
