4 WILL CONTROL ALL SHIPMENTS. American Fruit Growers As sociation to Undertake a Tremendous Task. CONCERT Os ACTION Will Prevent Any Clash Between the California Growers and Those of the Piecmont Section. The American Frui<i Growers' Associa tion, winch will meet at Chicago early in March, contemplates the gigantic task of controlling Kai pine nts from different sec tions and so timing the deliveries that Cal ifornia fruii growers will no compete with those of the Piedmont region and the eas tern states. The Union was organized about a year ago, and Mr. John D. Cunningham, of Georgia, is its president. He has in con templation a trip to Caiifonia for the pur pose of arranging for concert erf action be tween the fruit growers of that section and the orchard men of this section. Hav ing 169,000 peachtreem of his own, Mr. Cun riingliam us deeply interested in .the mark etiing of ‘the crop at fair prices, and ‘has given a great dial of time and thought no the subject. Speaking of it today he said: “The demand for fruit is greater than ■the supply, but at present it comes inito the market from the different sections ut terly wiliaout knowledge on the part of each as to what shippers in other sec tions arc doing. We want to have some Information and concert of action so as to not glut a market by shipping there al the same time from different sections, when, perhaps, there are markets elsewhere and for all 'the fruit that all the sections will produce. If we can overcome this bad diis tribunion it will be a great thing for the fruit growers. The American Fruit Growers’ Union is a stock company, operated on the co-oper ative plan. The stock is |lO a share, pay able one-fifth down, with two-year notes for the remainder, Whioh is supposed to be paid from the profits arising from com missions on the sale of frulit. The union agent* in all the cities and will handle fruit for its members. In this way it is hoped to secure a more uniform ‘distribu tion of the fruit crop in the different mar kets. The Georgia Fruit Growers’ Association has, as a body, joined the American Fruit Growers’ Union. SMALLPOX In the Army—Experinces of One of the “Old Guards.” Editor News: As there has been so much said of late about small pox and the dan gers of the disease. 1 beg to give you my experience and perhaps it will serve to al lay the fears of the more timid, even if It does cost the doctors a fee. During the winter of ’64 Lee’s army was near Orangeburg Court House in Virginia, and one ’morning there came an order to McGowan’s South Carolina bri gade for a detail. Gathering my gun and blankets, with others 1 reported at head quarters for instructions, little knowing or caring where we were to be sent, and with that indifference that an old soldier learned by hard licks, that squard of men marched to the depot in jolly good humor, but after a twenty mile ride to Gordons ville, our train run along side of cars marked in large letters, “Small pox cars." We were a badly seared set, and when told that we were to go to wtiat was known as the quarantine hospital of the army ot Northern Virginia to do guard duty, there was not a mother’s son among us who would not have rather ben ordered into line of battle. We found a number of eases, at the camp in all stages of the disease. Our duty was to go to the train each day, place a guard at the doors and send a non commissioned officer through the train to order off all soldiers returning to the army and in every case there was shown the utmost reluctance to the camp, and in taking all the chances of being shot, per fectly willing to go to the army, but to a small pox camp, no. Whether the men were vaccinated or not I don’t recollect, but I do remember that the “old guard ’ soon lost all fear of the disease and had immense fun at the ex pense of others they captured to quaran tine. and I do recollect that the surgeons of that day claimed that if they could get the patient in the early stages there was absolutely no danger and that It did not spread to any extent, only to a number of men who were exposed to it. and the best accommodation they had was wall tents and sick and wounded soldiers for nurses.

HOYT’S “A MILK WHITE FLAG.” The mere announcement that at the Academy of Music next Thursday evening, “A Milk White Flag,” the work of that able delineator of American humor, should and will be enough .to call out not only the largest, but the most select audience of the season. This is the most elaborate effort of this popular playwright. It has been said that Mr. Hoyt was a business playwright, that he wrote and produced playis in order to get the public'is money. That he has been successful there can be no doubt. He constantly keeps a finger upon the purse of the play goers. He dis covers just what the theatre-goers want, and then supplies that want. That “A Milk White Flag” was what the amuse ment seekers were in need of, is best il lustrated by the long runs and the phe nomenal business the piece has c”loved ever since it first seen the light of day. The piece cannot be called a comedy, an opera, a spectacle, or a melo-drama. It is in fact, all of them ■ combined in one, and requires for its proper presentation, the largest cast of the best stars in the profession. The scenery, mechanical ef fects and costumes that will! be seen here will be the same which characterized the successful run at Hoyt’s Theatre, New York, for more than 200 nights. THE FUNNY FARCE OF THE SEASON. The conspicuous hit of George H. Broadhurst’s fai<ce, “What Happened to Jones” in New York, where it ran for three months, is attracting widespread at tention and comment making the author ■the man of the hour as far as teatricals are concerned. The following byone of the most prominent critics in the country is a good example of what is generally said: “Mr. Broadhurst’s success with ‘What Happened to Jonese,’ recently threw a half score of adapters, translators and general monkeyers, ‘from the French' into indig nant hysterica. This mode«t and very un assuming young man has simply succeed ed by dint of perseverance and ability, which should inspire the vast army of as pirants with hope. (He was absolutely un known a couple of years ago; 'he was the despised of managers and outside the ‘ring.’ Yet he has come to the front un aided. Prominent managers had nothing to do with the success of Mr. Broadhurst and I want that fact to be digested." “What Happened to Jones” is the at traction at the Academy of Music with the following list of players: Anna Belmont, George C.

On the Altar of Republican ism in the Sixth Corgres sional District. IITIMITES Ml Hi MH Lend the Forlorn Hope of the Par ty of the Minority Against Charley Bartlett. Colonel R. D.'"'Locke, one of the leading Republicans of the state, is not of the opinion that the Republicans are losing strength in Georgia, on the comtrary, he is of the opinion that they will show greatly increased strength in the next elections. In conversation with a News reporter Colonel Locke said 'that It was now a set tled fact as to who would have the Ma con postoffice. He said that Walter Cor bett would get the place. When asked if he thought he would ever enter politics in Georgia as a Champion of the Republicans, he said that he might. It is well known that the Republicans have wanted Colonel Locke to run for con gress on their ticket several times, but he ■has always refused, but now Colonel Locke is not so certain or defeat, and he inti •anated that he would be in the race next Novembei. ’When Bob Berner was here a few days ago he closed his lips as tight as a clam, and would not answer whether he would opopse Bartlett or not. Mr. Berner has evidently given the plan considerable thought, for if he was sure he was not go ing to enter the race he would have de clared that at once. The friends of Congressman Bartlett, of Bibb, do not fear that he will fail to be nominated again against all comers. Colonel Locke said it was rather early now talk of the congressional race, but he said it was possible that he would have to run against Bartlett. VOICE OF LONG AGO. Returned to a Woman in Midnight Hours — She Was the Idol of Maine. Mrs. Lucretia M. Judson, an aged wo man, of Portland, Me., who years ago was famed throughout the state and nation for her beautiful voice, is said to have recov ered the use of her vocal chords after a quarter of a century. The lady would never have been aware olf ‘the almost .supernatural gift of second voice, as it might be called, unless she had been told. Mrs. Judson attended a revival meeting some weeks ago, and during the services she was charmed by the rendering of an old song. That night long after she had retired her husband returned from a trip out of the city. As he opened the door strains of soft sweet melody were wafted toward him from some strange source. He paused on the doorway, lis tening in rapt admiration. His heart beat faster, for the song awak ened within him membories of long ago, when his young wife had been the idol of the vicinity on account of 'the sift richness of her voice. Slowly he stepped up the stairs listen ing. Still the song vibrated in the sweet est cadence. He could not believe his sen ses. His wife was sitting up in bed. Her eyes were closed. Her lips moved. The room was filled with song. Her whole soul seemed to be melting in melody. Since that night 'Mrs. Judson has never sung during the day, but at night, not infrequently the voice of her girlhood lin gers for a brief moment 'with her in the hours of sleep. JACK AND WALTER MARKS. They Are Charged With Having Murdered a_ Woman. Bristol, Tenn., Jan. 28. —Jack and Walter Marks, brothers, in jail at Abbington, Va., are charged with one of the most heartless murders recorded in the criminal annals of the state of Virginia. On the night of December 9th last Mrs. Rebecca Carlton, aged 80, was assassina ted in her own home, having been shot through the head with an old army ’pistol, then brained with some blunt instrument. Her son-in-law, Jack Marks, whose wife is dead, lived in the house with .Mrs. Carl ton. On the night of the murder he, his little daughter and the servant girl went to the house of a neighbor, leaving Mrs. 'Carlton alone. During their absence rhe murder was committed. Circumstances pointed to Walter Marks as the assassin, and the evidence subse quently adduced was strongly against him and his brother Jack, making it appear that they had probably planned the mur der as it occurred. Blood spot swere found on Walter Marks’ pants, it is alleged, the day following the murder. It was in evidence that Jack Marks had threatened Mrs. Carlton’s life and she feared him. Because of alleged ill treatment at the hands of Jack Marks, the old lady had declared her intention to revoke her will by which Jack Mark’s little daughter was to come into possession of the farm and other property. It is charged that the murder was com mitted to prevent the threatened change in Mrs. Carlton’s will. The trial of the Marks brothers is set for the last week in February in the county court at Abbington. WILL D. UPSHAW To Speak at the Y. M, C. A. Sunday Af ternoon. “What Shall a Young Man Do 'With His Life?” is the important subject to be dis cussed by Mr. W. D. Upshaw, the “rolling chair orator,” at the Young Men's Chris tian Association meeting next Sunday. Mr. Upshaw has lectured all over the South, ’and from the many testimonials to his ability we cull the following: Dallas (Tex.) Dispatch: Mr. William D. Upshaw, of Georgia, or “Earnest Willie,” as he is widely known, delighted his large audience at Washington Avenue Baptist church last night. Sometime he speaks from his rolling chair and sometime® he rises on his crutches and in an impassion ed eloquence lifts his audience with him. His voice is clear and ringing, and he keeps his hearers swinging between that ' pendulum of mirth, inspiration and pathos which natural eloquence always produces. “LIKE AN APRIL DAY'.” “Earnest Willie’s lecture or entertain ment was such a delightful mixture of pure mirth and earnest beauty—such a charming blending of happy sunshine and tender tears that the effect made one think of the varying moods of an April day.”—The Messenger, Humbolt, Tenn.

Read the following extract from his letter : “ Truth is stranger than Fiction.” NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA TISM COMPLETELY CURED. George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma, writes that P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial neuralgia and rheumatism, after three years of intense suffering. The pain lay in his eheek bone and temple, down the right side of his face, along his upper lip, and from the slightest touch he suffered agonies for weeks at a time. Could only open his mouth wide enough to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in his food would put him in torture. He had a consultation of the best physi cians in Texas, but all to no purpose. Catarrh and rheumatism were also causing him much trouble, until he tried P. P. P. He says he is well and will swear that there are no cases of neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism, no matter how chronic or how old the cases are, that P. P. P. will not make a total cure of.
