FOR A new DEPOT
Mineral Point Needs a New Build
ing on a New Site.

The common council, the local board
of health, and other organic zations are
moving for new railway station in
Mineral Point 1t is movement that
ought to succeed. The present depot
was built some years before the war
and not on very solid ground. Since
then tracks have been laid all around
it; and over the tracks a vast amount
of switching is done every day, and al
most every hour in the day
1t is only reasonable request for a
new passenger station located out of
the danger zone

The Postal Savings.

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an ac-
count in a postal saving bank after

leaflet on the postal Saving System
just issued by Postmaster General
Bureson. This important extension of
the service will be made possible by
permitting persons living in commune
ties so sparsely settled as not to justify
the designation of their local post
offices as regular postal saving banks
to open accounts by mail.
Under the plan adopted by the POST
master General for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositer, resid-
ing where there is no regular design.
ated postal savings bank, will apply to
his local postmaster who will see that
necessary Identification data is pre-
pared and forwarded to near by post
office authorised to accept deposits.
The intending depositor will than be
given permission to forward his first
and subsequent deposits by money order
or registered mail direct to the post.

receipts or certificates will be Used.
He may withdraw all or any part of
his postal savings by mail and on de-
mand together with any interest that
may be due him.

all records the past year During the
eight months prior to April 1st there
was net gain in deposits of Sl9. O00,-
600, as against a gain of So. 600, 600 for
the same months the year before.
Thousands of new accounts have been
opened and the millions made up large

back into the channels of trade Just at

mand for every dollar.

TAKES NERVE TO THIN FRUIT
Practice Has Become Quite Popular
With Some observation-disclosures
of Time Is Small Item.


One of the most noted peach grow
ers in this country tells how his neigh
bors wondered when they saw him
picking off the major portion of his
first peach crop.
They shook their heads and won.
dered at the absurd proceeding of the
man who had peculiar views about
peach growing. But that season when
his peaches proved bumper crop they
changed their minds Since that time
the thinning of peaches has been popu.
lar with the more progressive neigh,
bors.
The thinning of peaches or any
fruit must be conducted with judg-
ment 1t is not by any means advis-
able to thin every tree regardless of
how much fruit it carries. Some trees
set so little fruit that all can be
ripened without overtaxing the tree
or without producing understood fruit.
Some charge up the cost of thinning
as an extra expense on the orchard.
But anyone who has gathered fruit
knows that fruit gathering is a slow
task, especially with fruit that has to
be handled as carefully as does the
peach.
The picking of the small green
peaches at thinning time removes the
necessity of picking off many of these
same peaches later on.
When they are thinned they are sim
ply pinches off and allowed to fall on
the ground, while later if allowed to
ripen they must be put carefully in
baskets.
The expense Of time in pinching off
small fruit is only fraction of that
required in gathering the same peach
when it is ripe enough to market.
OF course, there is an offset in the
fact that some of the young peaches
would be switched off by the wind
later, but in the main it may be stated
that no more labor is required to thin
peaches and gather the remainder
when ripe than to gather the harvest
that results without thinning.

Men Of the StOneWaIl Brigade in Rich.
TlOnd.

Men who followed Jackson in the
great Valley campaigns, and bringing
as a priceless relic the tattered and
torn flag of the Second Virginia Regi-
ment of the Stonewall Brigade, about
seventy-five of that famous brigade
arrived yesterday from points in the
Valley of Virginia. The party is in
charge of Colonel R. P. Chew, COM
mander of the Stuart Horse Artillery
during 1864 and 1865. Also with the
party is Captain j. F. Foley, color
bearer. Colonel Chew is making his
headquarters at the Jefferson Hotel.
These men followed Jackson in his
famous campaigns in the valley, and
were afterwards in the Army of North
ern Virginia under the leadership of
General Robert E. Lee. They were
among the bravest of the brave.
The flag, which was torn almost to
shreds by cannon and minnie balls will
be carried by the brigade in the parade
of Thursday and will be an object of
the keenest interest. 1t has been ex-
hibited in Richmond on several previ-
Gus occasions, notably at the unwilling
of the Lee Monument, and at the last
reunion held here eight years ago. 1t
was also carried by the brigade at the
reunion of the blue and the gray at
Gettysburg, and everywhere it has been
shown it has awakened emotions of
pride in the heroic deeds of the men of
the South. 1t will be borne here as at
Gettysburg by Captain J. F. Foley, of
Charlestown W. Va.
Colonel R. P. Chew, who is in com
mand of the Stonewall Brigade, is
seventy. two years old, and according
to his many admirers who greeted him
at the Jefferson last night he is the
youngest man for hisyears at the re-
enion. - Richmond Times Dispatched.
