orchard business later than Mr..

the State in premiums on his apple
exhibits. These two young orchard
lists bid fair to make d repuLa alton
for themselves that will be known
far and near within the very near
u future. We have never seen finer
fruit than that which is now produc-
ed on their orchards.
One Of the most unique pieces
Of work which it has been our plaes-
ure to see is quilt which John W.
Reynolds, rural carrier for Madison

| Courier Office on Monday last. The
quilt was made by the pupils of the
Tugaloo Academy, and has worked
! On the different colored squares that
I.go to make up the whole quilt the
names Of all those who contributed
ten cents toward the expense OF the
quilt. For as many more dimes as
! one, wished 10 give, numbered
ticket was issued, and at the draw
/ ing Mr.. Reynolds was the fortunate
winner Of this unusual and unique
piece of handiwork. In the center of
the quilt, on largo yellow square,
is embroidered the letters, "R. S. [.
A. and the words, "Tugaloo Acad-
cmy, 1922" together with The name
of the principal Of the school, S. L.
Powell, and the assistant teachers,
Misses Minnie Lee Sorrell and Mil
dred McWhorter: Mr.. Reynolds will
have the quilt on exhibition at the
County Fair at Westminster to-day
and tomorrow, and it should prove
OF much interest to visitors to tho
fair. There are over 400 names en-
broidered on the quilt, and it nctted
the makers the sum Of $5I.14.
