Huston of Deedsville, Miami county, came over Monday evening to see his brother, T. J. Huston, who is in poor health. Carey is still engaged in the general merchandise business at Deedsville, but his family is pretty well scattered. Ray is foreman of a big ranch in Kingman county, Kan.; Mabel, who is married, lives at Rock Springs, Wyo.; Glen is a telegraph operator in Colorado; and Charles is engaged in railroad work at Cincinnati, leaving them but two children at home now. We do not believe we are over-estifhating the amount when we say that there is 10,000 bushels of apples on the trees or rotting on the ground under them in the corporate limits of Rensselaer. Never before has anyone ever seen so many apples, pears, plums and cherries in this section of the state as this year. Apples can scarcely be given away at all. Notwithstanding this,' however, in the cities the consumer has to pay from 75 cents to $1.25 a bushel right now for apples, while in South Dakota, where none are grown, letters from former Jasper county people say, they are 50 cents a peck. Evidently the middlemen get a good profit for handling them.
