Fine Fruit for World s Fair.
Hen Landaker yesterday brought in
specimens of Moorepark apricots to
'Honorary World's Fair Commissioner
C. H. Miller for the fail exhibit, which
.are the finest we have ever seen any-
where. Mr. Landaker brought in
enough of the fruit to fill two half-gal-
lon fruit jars. They averaged sixteen
to the jar, and measured six and one-half
inches in circumference. Mr, Milleralso
received a specimen of wheat yesterday
from J. M. Grist, which was about five
feet, six inches tall. It will also be sent
to St. Louis.
I'"or several days past the editor of the
l'onca Courier has been hiding out in
the brush. A nomadic female "pain-
less" dentist struck his town, and the
old man proceeded to give her a nice
send-off in his paper, calling particular
attention to the fact that she was the
only painless dentist in the town. liy
one of those inexplicable blunders the
printer mistook painless for pantless,
and, as a result, the editor is browsing
upon weeds and grass along the river
bank, while an irate female, with a
damage suit in her mind, and blood in
her eye, is camping upon his sauctum
doorstep.—Blackwell News.
