BEATING THE H. C. OF L.

As usual Charles Pefley corned forward with the first new home-grown potatoes of the season. He has been eating ’em for over a week- past, Mr. Pefley says. The early crop in this immediate vicinity will probably not be very large, due to lack of sufficient rain. New potatoes still continue very high in price. Of course there are no home-grown ones yet on the market and those shipped in are retailing at 12% cents a pound, while old ones are 9 cents a pound.
