' Asneville Citizen: According to old
fruitgrowers Indications are for a big
fruit crop this year,; The .prospects are
considered most favorable for one of the
'largest ever raised in this section. It
was at first thought that this crop was
injured by the recent "cold, spell I On the
contrary, It is learned that the cold
weather, if anything, was an advantage
to fruit The effect of the, cold was to
keep the buds back, so they w ill bud out
; later, and there is less danger of damage
by later frosts that may come. Peach
tree twigs examined minutely under a
microscope show that the buds have
.' been in no way Injured by the recent cold
weather.
: The mysterious hot well of Gaston
county survives and grows hotter. Mr.
N. If. Mcintosh; who tuns a grist mill

finally it became so hot it was necessary
to stop using the water ? for the boiler.
The well in question Is at Lucia, on the
public road between Mt Holly and
Lowesville. Forty feet from the hot well
another well was bored and the water
from this last well is cold.
There was much excitement at Hoff

partly attributed to ber leading him opt.
