PrOspect for FruIt Is Good.

A month or so ago, when the cold
weather reached near above zero
several fruit growers proclaimed that
the fruit buds were destroyed; this
was the usual outcry against the fu-
ture; but, as the spring opens, the
alarm is found to be without real
foundation. and the peach growers
are reporting that there is little or nc
damage to the buds of that fruit. II.
l. Cannon, who is a member OF the
State Board OF Agriculture and also
a large grower of peaches, states so
Tar as he Is able to see, but little II
any damage has been done to the fruit
crop by the cold weather.
Strawberry growers have started to
fertilize their berry fields, and plant
peas between the late freezes OF early
March.
New Post ONCE Badly Needed.
The need OF a new and larger post
Office at Bridgeville Is so evident. that
the people feel there Is a real hard
ship to the public service by the lack
Of quarters for the United States mail
at Bridgeville. which will expedite the
handling of the mail and accommodate
the public in transacting its business.
The main trouble now seems to be in
locating the new building, which will
be erected by private ownership, and
leased to the government for term
OF years; exactly as was done IN the
town Of Harrington. Keep the agt-
tation alive, and the new post ONCE
will certainly come.
