Fine Crop In Mitchell’s Orchird,
Mitchell’s apple orchard hr
Cleveland in an admirable s»ght in¬
deed.
The trees therein are laden with
beautiful red* fruit to their utmost
capacity. Surely a sight of this
orchard is enough to convince the
most skeptical that there is
“money” in apples in \\ hite coun¬
ty. This orchard consists of
twenty-seven acres which lie mostly
within the incorporate limits of the
town of Cleveland, and was pur¬
chased by Air. Mitchell from Mr.
A. H. Henderson about two years
ago for two thousand seven hun¬
dred dollars, orone hundred dollars
per acre. Mr. Henderson bought
.this land for a few dollars per acre
some years ago, and set it out in
apple trees. This is the first year
'.that it has borne much fruit. Last
year it had a number of bushels on
the trees but none were gathered to
market. This year we hear people
estimate the yield of the orchard
from two to three thousand bush¬
els, and there may be five thousand
bushels there lor all we know. One
thing certain, we never saw so
many trees so heavily laden.
If owners of young apple or¬
chards here who live in other parts
could see this orchard while it is so !
beautiful, their hearts would be I
cheered and their faith strengthen¬
ed in the returns spot) to be derived
from their investments. To just
think that there is a crop of fruit
on an orchard the first year of
.bearing that is probably equal in
•value to the amount of the invest¬
ment, in an eye-opener to those
who are skeptical, and this or¬
chard has had only the attention of

Mr. Editor, What has become of

say that there is nothing

School House Bonds Carry.
The bond election held Tuesday
carried for the building of a new
school house by fifty-five votes,
being 6.7 to 12. This is the proof
of the unity of Cleveland and sur¬
rounding country when it comes to
doing anything of great public in¬
terest. They have made no mis¬
take. and they may.be fully assured
they have done future generations
a verv great service .by authorizing
this most important move to go
forward, and vour children, and
those that may follow them
will praise your action upon this
question when they attain the age
of accountability. The trifling in¬
debtedness which has thus been
placed upon them will prove a dia¬
mond in their crown of success.
Pride yourselves with the fact
that, you have again proven your¬
selves worthy of a place upon earth
by having made it: possible for
others to do greater things than
you have been .able to do, hence
rendered aid to the needy and de¬
serving.
OBITUARY.
As the twilight was falling on
mother earth Sunday evening, Sep.
13th, the soul of Mr. John L. Hood
took its flight to live with the God
who gave it.
Brother Hood was born Septem¬
ber 3, 1848. and died September
13, 1914, being sixty-six years and
ten days old at the. time of bis
death. Brother Hood joined the
elmrch. at Loudsville when only
‘-seventeen years old, and has al
way been a good,law-abiding man,
pfi-'i ytjlrfrifM gbfcil m-) met#her <*f
the church, a Sunday School
Superintendent, working for the
•betterment of mankind. He was
always friendly towards everyone
that he had the fortune to form the
acquaintance of. He was married
to Miss Jane Allen when a young
man, and who died several years
ago, and later, he married Mrs.
Rebecca Turner who, with one
little boy, survives him with three
of his first wife’s children to mourn
his loss.
Brother Hood was taken quite
ill at his home in Jackson county,
and was moved to the home of Mr.
W. C. Hood, his son, near Louds¬
ville church, several months ago
where he was taken care of. Ever
thing was done for him that loving
hands could do all through his sick¬
ness. Brotherllood bore his afflic¬
tion with a Christian fortitude un¬
til the Master said come up higher,
it’s a rough way.
The spirit of Christ ever be with
the good wife and children to com¬
fort in their sadness, and may they
all strive to meet husband and fath¬
er in a better world where joy and
happiness will be theirs.
Sometimes our skies are darkened
By clouds of deep despair,
\\ bile our hopes lies slain and
bleeding
All round 11s everywhere.
j Then take courage and press
I ward,
on
1 Hope for brighti r day',
a
Strive to cheer some one behind
I
you,
As you go in life’s way'.

shown us in our recent very sad
bereavement.
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Allison
Some of the officials of New
York anti-suffragists objected to
the Peace Parade in that City,
where thousands of black-robed
women, silently protested against
the inhumanity of war. Anti
suffragists are strangely inconsist¬
ent in objecting to the marvelous
effect of that long, slow-moving
procession of earnest, anxious
mothers, wives and daughters
following the fluttering white ban¬
ner inscribed with the single word
“Peace”. Only those women
whose hearts are weighted with
dread can know how full of mean¬
ing was the sombre line that moved
along New A ork’s thoroughfare, ll j
might have been more acceptable j
to the antis to dance for charity, I
or tango against war, but many of j
the black-attired women in that
Peace procession find no festivity
to fit the horror now engulfing so
large a portion of Europe and in
which there is no certainty that the
UnitedStates tnay not eventually be
compromised.
