Mr.. and Mrs. Elisha Davis live on a
farm in the corner made by the three
county lines. They have a peach tree
on their place that has been acting in
an unusual manner, and Mrs Davis,
who visited Columbus, Ind, recently
brought along some proof She had
one twig from the tree on which there
were Is peaches, the combined weight
OF which was seven pounds. There
was not another peach on the tree, but
the one twig did nobly. Just little
distance from this tree there is an
other that is sending forth it's second
crop of peaches, and nearly all of the
limbs now are full, the peaches being
about the size of guinea eggs. On the
Davis farm there also is second crop
OF blackberries growing.-Indianapo
