If no severe wenthor prevails
for the next few weeks, this section
will be blessed with an abundance
of fruit. The prospects at
present are exceptionally good,
especially with pears, the trees

noticed in one of the stores a few
days ago an eight inch twig from
the orchard of Mrs. J. A. Withers,
which had on it eleven perfect
specimens of the growing fruit.
