THE KNOCKERS PRAYER. "Lord, please don't let this town grow. I've lived here for thirty years and during that time I've fought every public improvement. I've knocked everything and every body, no firm or individual has es tablished a business here without my doing all I could to put 'em out of business. I've used every under handed method known to the knock ing fraternity to injure their busi ness. I've lied about them, and would have stolen from them if I had the courage. I have done all I could to keep the town from grow ing, never have I spoken a good word for It, but instead I've knocked hard and often. It pains me, O Lord, to see that in spite of my knocking this town Is beginning to grow. Some day I fear I will be called upon to put down side walks in front of my property, and who knows but what I may have to help keep up the streets that run by my premises? This, Lord, would be more than I could bear. It would cost me mon ey, and I could not afford to pay out any money, though all I have was made right here in this town. Then too more people might come if the town begins to grow, which would cause me to lose some of my pull. I ask, therefore to keep this town at a standstill, that I may continue to be the chief knocker. Amen." FROST HITS MORROW COUNTY. A heavy frost hit Morrow county on Monday night, and from reports we can gather, fruit has suffered to considerable extent. It is not thought that the crop is all destroy ed but it is no doubt badly injured and shortened up. This is true of apricots and peaches particularly:. There has never been a better pros pect for fruits of all kinds and it Ik to be regretted that we are to suffer a loss of this crop. It may develop that the Injury has not been as exten sive as it now appears, and if this should prove to be a fact the croi may be of better quality on account of its being cut short.
