To Mrs. Lydia Kammholz of Gran.
iteville the editor is indebted for 9
half dozen OF the fnest-looking, larg-
eat apples we have seen in many a day
They are of the "Black Ben Davis
variety, and, truly, present a picture
fair to behold. Some of the apples
were twelve inches in circumference
and all Of them perfect specimens o.
fruit in every way. Mrs. Ksmmholz
is certainly to be congratulated or
producing such magnificent apples il
her orchard.
When here q couple of weeks ago thu
railroad officials put it up " strong tt
us'' that if Ironton and Arcadia could
agree on a site for a central depot II
the valley they would build us as fint
a station as there is on the Missouri
: Division and give us q train service
the like of which we never knew be-
fore. That sounds mighty good ant
ought to be taken advantage of by
the people of the valley. 1t is an oft,
repeated story or offer of the railroad
officials and perhaps they really NEAR
: it. But some people think that il
making this offer the railroad head
realize how very hard and difficult i
is to get certain folk to agree on Ger
tain matters. But we ought to fool tn,
railroad officials once and accept thei
Q proposition.
