Kentucky Fruit Crop.

Fruit prospects In the State at the
present time Indicate that Kentucky
this year will have fair apple crop
and a heavy yield of peaches, accord
ing to G. w. Matthews, head of the
horticultural department of the Col
lege Of Agriculture. Prospects also
are bright for a good crop Of small
and stone fruits. he added
or twenty counties, reports from
Campbell, Nelson and Pulaski coun-
ties showed prospects for a 100 per
cent peach crop in these counties,
while reports from Daviess, Hender-
son, Meade and Todd counties indicat-
ed that the peach crop this year would
be above normal The eleven coun-
ties reporting prospects for a better
than three-fourths normal crop were
Boyd, Boyle. Breckenridge, Galloway,
Graves. Jefferson, Johnson, Laurel
Rockcastle and Warren.
although only four counties, Boyd,
Meade, Nelson and Todd, reported
prospects for 100 per cent apple crop,

Tobacco Pooling,

There is not grower lin Adair
county but wants the very best prices
for his tobacco. The way to realize
high prices is to join the pool. 1t
was started here last Monday after
the discussion at the Paramount
Theater, and a great many growers
signed, and since that time many 9TH
ers have gone into the movement.
At this time it looks like all the grow
ers in the county will sign. The pool
is the only salvation for the farmer
and it would be suicidal for the grow
er to fail to join. In all the tobacco
growing districts in the state, the
pool is the most popular enterprise.
At the proper time house for re.
ceiving the product, will be erected In
Columbia, and instead of the grower
hauling his tobacco from twenty tc
forty-five miles, he can deliver ii al
home, which in itself would be great
saving. Let no man kick against .
movement that is beyond question
the greatest that has ever been pre-
sented to the farmers of Adalr coun
ty. Other counties are enjoying the
advantages of the pool, why no

how Elmer Cundiff lost two hundred
young chickens by theft one night last
week, and Perry Cundiff lost $500
dollars worth of chickens the same
night. We understand that certain
parties are suspected, but sufficient
proof has not been found to make
arrests. A man who will steal chickens
would steal a horse If the opportunity
was presented. We hope the thieves

Museum Opened in Columbia.

Persons passing out Burkesville
Street in the past few days have
doubtless noticed tent set under a
large maple tree in the yard Of Judge
81. C. Baker, and, il they gave atten-
tion to it they haze observed that
great activity has been going on about
the tent-the making Of cages, out of
boxes, the placing of wire facing on
the boxes and the like. This move
msut represents new enterprise in
our progressive little town, under the
management of certain young gentle
men, who live, or are temporarily So
journing on Pea Ridge.
1t is known as the Columbia Mu-
scum Of Unnatural History. The
chief promoters of this enterprise are
Masters Thomas Menzies and Ken
meth Coffey, of Columbia, Herschel
B. Jones, of Tennessee. and Robert
Hughes, Of Texas.
They expect very soon to have a
very fine exhibit, which Will be both
attractive and instructive, and what
they already have is no small begin
ming. AS they have no building, Mas
ter Kenneth Coffey generously tender
ed them the use of his tent for the
summer season.
We were permitted to pass through
it, and to have furried view of the
collection made up to the present
time, and, among other things we
noted the American eagle, represent
ed by a motherly looking setting hen

much the appearance of a Belgian
hare, a dog with black ear posing as
a lion from the jungles of Africa.

pared for them The authorities on
the subject of terrapin food we're con-
suited, and they were told that reptiles
of the kind were herbiyorous, but,
grass, which was placed before them,
did not appeal to their appetite.
In fact, the old lady, under the chang
ed condition in which she was placed
refusedto eat any thing. The little
fellow, however, when a fishing worm
was placed before him showed his
appreciation and convinced the spec
tators that whether he was herbiv.
orous or not, he was at least wormivo.
vous, and that he knew "a good thing
when it was placed before him.
1t is expected that many additions
will be made to this museum in the
near future, and, it is probable that
the doors will be opened to the public
on special occasions for small admis
sion fee to meet the up keep. The
management have in contemplation
the exhibit of system of lighting

is supposed to have been in use OF
