PERSIMMONS HERE- Probably the only persimmon tree in Pawnee county is at the home of Mrs. Caroline Lucky in the new part of town. This tree is larger in size than the ordinary apple tree and each year has a few persimmons. This year the yield is larger than usual and only a good freeze is needed to put them in shape for eating. The tree was brought to Nebraska by Mrs. Lucky from her old home in Illinois and set out many years ago. It has survived hard freezes and droughts as well or better than native trees.

Mrs. Lucky died a few weeks since and the farm has been purchased by John Lang, J. G. Hildebrand and L. C. Farwell.
