Frank Eck of west Carpenter was in tile city on business Thursday. He says his family is pretty well prepared for winter, that is, in the way of canned fruit at least. His two daughters at home and his two married daughters, Mrs. Elmer Standish and Mrs. Levi Kuboski, put up aft even 1,000 quads of fruit this season at hiß place, 460 quarts of which are peaches. Frank furnished the fruit and assisted a little in the canning process, of which *they had quite a long seige, although in one day they put up 116 quarts of peaches. Of course Frank does not expect to get away with all this quantity himself, his two married daughters each getting a share.
