BOY DUOWIiED. . [ . . _ Willie A|kinseu Cornea to * Watery Grave iu W’Uite Kiver. * Shortly after four o'clock last IIBaturday news was brought to the |dty of the drowning of Willie Atkinson, .a* lad of twelve years and the bolv son ot Cal Atkinson, while bathing in White river near Hooky ford, lie with several other small boys had went to the river for the purpose of swimming, and young Atkinson venturing too far out, U is supposed, became scared and sank to the bottom. Sou.e little wavs off were three f or four men who were also bathing, (and hearing the cries «»f the other boys went to the scene at once, but not until the lad had sank the last | time. One of the other boys by the

name of Brown became scared and wa» taken out by one of the men. The boy's body was found about seven o’clock that evening and taken to the home of Emory Drnnon, where father and son boarded- The funeral services were held at the C. P. church Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev. VOKley^ the interment taking place at Walutit Ilills cemetery. * The inquest was held by Squire Perry W. Chappell Sunday morning and a verdict of accidental drowning was rendered. 1 AVORABLY MlCATED. The Finest section of Country la the World. The term “Pocket*" as here used is applied to the extreme southwest portion of Indiana, which includes .the; counties of Posey, Perry, Spencer, Warrick, Vanderburg, Gibson and Pike says John B. Elliott, in the j Orang? Judd Farmer. Five of these) .are bounded on the south by the! Ohio river, while Posey and Gibson i

aic uMumicu uu ini' wcm u\ iuc if abash and the whole district is well watered by numerous streams. Posey county is washed by 130 miles of navigable river front, fifty-five miles of which is on the Ohio and seventyfive on the lower portion of the Wabash. It will thus be seen thfct the “pocket*' is favorably located, considered from a commercial standpoint. The climate is exceptional in its generality with generally sufficient rainfall well distributed throughout the year. The soil is fertile, of an enduring nature and by intelligent husbandry its productiveness can be greatly increased.

mm an tttese a no many more good qualities »o recoutiAend it would seem that the “pocket’’ should stand well to fruit. However, its development in this direction is not commensurate with its capacity. Thousands of acres of good fruit lands lie idle, being in many cases occupied by valrelless timber and ndergrowth Many persons occupy situations especially adapted to orcharding, but do not produce fruit, evidently preferring to raise 50 cent wheat. All in all orcharding has not received the attention and development which its importance scents to demand, and this too in the face of many tests which has demon.-infcted the ability of this region to produce superior fruit. The most probable reason for this lethargy is that the virgin soil was endowed with qualities suitable for the production of excellent corn. The woods worn full of masts, hogs were healthy and whisky were almost the only at tide of export to New Orleans. This continued for a time, when a change was made to clover and wheat, which Jh^mam years were as profitably grown as corn and pork, but now another change must come, a greater diversification of crops, including orcharding, is needed. In this latitude bearing fruit trees are much shorter lived, than is generally supposed. Most otebards are allowed to eucumber the ground for years after they cease to be profitable. It takes about ten years for most varieties to pay expenses, after which they will probably yield good profits for another ten years. About twenty years after the time ot planting apple trees begin to decay, the fruit becomes poorer in quality aid the sales arc less satisfactory. The orchard 1st, to be successful here, must constantly watch the vitality of his trees and plant new ones about five years.
