Additional Local and Personal.


Mr.. and Mrs. G. ]. Moore who have
been conducting the Newly Hotel in
this city for some time past have rented
| the Griffin Hotel ct Oakland and on
Tuesday Of this week moved to that
city. They will conduct the Griffin
Hotel and Mr.. Moore will operate his
jitney business with his Ford car as he
mas done here. The Falcon understands
that Z. G. Griffin and family who have
conducted the hotel in Oakland for a
number of years are moving to Mem
phis this week to make their future
home.
Local growers of late crop Irish
potatoes have been digging the past
week, some good yields being made.
w. S. Latta has the largest specimens
we have seen and. had very satisfac-
tory yield when the drowth about plant
ing is considered. His are of the Look
out Mountain variety. Growers Of the
Triumph also report good yields in a
number Of cases. And yet there are
not enough on the market to meet the
local demand and merchants are having
to buy in Memphis. The crop should
be enlarged to meet local needs.
Most of the roads In FaYette county,
in fact all which have been properly
worked, have been unusually good thru
out the past fall, There haye been but
few days that an automobile could not
be run over most of these roads. In
fact the fall has been one of the best
we have had here. And yet there are
few roads that are said to be in a
most depIorable condition. The mem
bers of the county court will look after
such cases when the court meets in
January and is called on to pay con-
tractors for road work during the pres
ent year.
A curiosity in fact was handed The
Falcon Tuesday of this week. This
freak of nature consisted of three very
perfectly formed Red June apples {
larger than quail egg and apparently
ripe which were the result of recent
of tree on the place of j.
5. Taylor of Route 6. The tree. Mr..
Taylor informs us, bore q magnificent .
crop of fruit at the usual fruiting season Q
last spring and some weeks ago. during G
the fall, bloomed again and q large
number of these fruits were set. There
"a nothing so very unusual in seeing q
fruit tree bloom in the fall, but we
have never before known Of a June :
apple tree in this section setting q
second crop Of fruit which grew to the .
Iize of the apples left here. The p
rec 10 a scion from an old tree at the q
home of Mrs. Taylor's father, and was 2
planted out by her and Is q good bearer I
n its regular season. Q
