PROSPECT FOR PEACHES
LOOKS PROMISING George T.
Hoffecker living on the Middle AL
ley road, feels quite assured that
if nothing else happens to the
peaches that he will have a fair
crop the coming summer. Right
after the cold spell that appeared
so disastrous to the buds, in going
through his orchard and cutting of
the twigs as he could reach them
he would scarcely find live but in
any of the trees, and would have
sold his crop for $500; but on ex-
animation again last week he went
up among the top branches and
found them nearly all alive. From
the buds as he now finds them
though on the topmost limbs, he
thinks there is enough to make g
profitable crop. His neighbors N

east side of the town and w. M
Boyer, on the South of the town
report the same condition. Other:
however are qquite positive thai
they will have comparatively few
peaches, and especially is this the
case about Moorton. Upon the
J whole there is considerable better
feeling now than a month ago.
