"The ground has been sufficiently chilled to check the growth of apple trees and most peach trees, which dur ing the past week were beginning to show signs of life. This timely set back, Mr. Profitt says, will probably hold the growth back until the dan ger is over. While a few early peaches may be killed as a result of the present cold weather, the major- j i kjl ycavjiica cue a.piJdiciiLij' ocu-c DELEGATIONS ATTEND THOMSON MEETINGS HERE Fraternal Orders and Organized Classes, Each in a Body, Add to Revival Congregations.
