A deputation then waited on the county council to have them buy the colors, and on motion of Dr. Meains of Hanover the county fell in with the idea and put up the cash to purchase the col >rs and instructed Warden Cordingly to make tho presen- tation at Niagaf* or Borden camp, or wherever the bjiltalion w:is located the colors were ready. village of Kimberley, then north and east to Kavenna and Banks, coinini; across the uiountain akmg the line fence between the farms of the (ieorgian Bay Fruit Grower?, thus obviating the neces- sity of making the sever.tl turnt> in the road on the east slope. Fallowing east the line will come through Mair'a Mills, thence on to town, entering; tiy wny of High street. Several ctrloads of poles are on the railw:iy grounds and a gang of men are preparing them tor distribution along then ](|,y route. Many of these iire tt5 feet in 'length, these veiy long poles being f >r use in the town. Iti the country the length will be reduced to 4r» feet on tho average, though on the mountain they may be cut ten feet shorter, riiroughout the course the poles will be storni&tayed every twenty poles with special guys at every tetjth pole, the object being to make the lino as perfect us possible. Mr. Arthur Petch of Uriersville, is a livo wire in the fruit industry ami has thebest crop of apples this year of any person in this part of the province.

It IS about 20 years since this oichHrd wa.s tirst set out, and his father, Mr. Keuben Pelcb, was the laughing stock of the district by those who lacked the foresii»ht of the future, for (?oing into fruit so eMensively. Just at a time when his neighbors were desfroyinjr their apple orchiirds, Mr. Petch was busy building up tho very part of hl.s farm that others weie tearing down. Fortunately the old gentleman has lived to sec his fondest hopes come liteiflly true, and while the fruit farm is now luanaged by his sun, he has tbesatisfaction of seeing his labors also, bearing fruit. The farm is located at (JriersviUe and will be the pride of Grey County. Mr. I'etch, jr., has all the latest appliances for spraying and caring for his va'uable fruit orchard and it is bound to give him good returns on his investment, â€" Meaford Kxprens.
