We acknowledge our aporecia
tion of a lot of. mighty fine
peaches from Mr. Joe Tannehill
this week. Mr. Tannehill is an
extensive fruit growor, and states
the plums are falling off before
maturing. The peaches present-

like my mother's churn dasher
and visions of doubt creep over
my soul until I feel like an old

I feel as though I could lift my-
