J. N. Jepsen delivered at The
Leader office some samples of
young fruit from his orchard,
which he makes his hobby. The
peach twigs were well filled with
young fruit, as were the twigs of
the pear trees. He says the Ja-
pan plums will not bring so good
a crop as the other varieties, but
unless some unforeseen circum-
stance should arise, there will be
plenty of fruit of many varieties
this year.

The revival services Thursday
afternoon and night were largely
attended and much interest man-
ifested. Quite a-.large number
made a profession of faith in
Christ at the night service. It
was announced fck the benefit of
those from the country that serv-
ices would notbe ‘suspended
Saturday as " heretofore, but
would be held afternoon and
night. Sunday will probably be
the greatest event of the meeting,
and no doubt the attendance will
be large. Last Sunday at the
11 o’clock service the crowd
came through the rain, and was
not perceptibly diminished in
numbers.
News from the overflowed sec-
tion7 of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers is not encouraging, but it
is hopeful, in that so fair the,
levees have withstood1the pres-
sure of the waters and very little
loss of life has been reported.
The property Joss will go into
the millions of dollars, and the
end of this character of loss is
not yet in sight. There are 3500
refugees at Hickman, Ky., with
2000 rendered homelnss;' 120Q
homeless at Columbus, Ky., 800
homeless at New Madrid, Mo.,
1200 homeless at Memphis, Tenn.
with power houses stopped at
many points. River boats are
busily engaged in caring for
those whose homes have been
destroyed or Overflowed by the
high waters, and every care is
being exercised to prevent sick-;
ness and distress.
