She will have spring friers within a few days from a brood hatched from a Christmas setting. Mrs. Barrett added that for the first time in her 21 years in Nyssa, her petunias survived the winter months and did not freeze. They are in bud and will bloom soon, over a month ahead of season. Another gardener counted 15 var ieties of flowers which are now in bloom, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, bleeding hearts, spirea, violets, lily- of-the-valley, forget-me-nots, pan sies, marigolds, calendula iris, alys- sum, and narcissus. Flowers and baby chicks have not been injured by the frosty weather of the Easter week end but fruit growers report a heavy loss of peaches and apricots in particular.

FOR DRUGS IN NORCOTT OFFICE Probably in the search of some drug, a burglar broke the glass in the door and entered the office of Dr. E. D. Norcott. Nyssa dentist, Tuesday night. He found no drugs in the office and failed to take a small amount of dental gold which was on hand. For some unknown reason he took a sterilizer which was found in the alley yesterday morning. He left a cigar stub and several burned matches which were scattered about the office but noth ing of value was reported missing. This is the second time Dr. Nor- cott's office has been broken into within the last few months. As a result he keeps no drugs and very little gold on hand.
