THE GREAT PEACH BLOSSOM FESTIVAL (Cochran Journal) The Fourth Annual Peach Blossom Festival staged in Fort Valley on Thursday and Friday of last week wtra a grand success from every standpoint. A person who has never een there and seen the beauty and agnitude of this annual event can¬ not begin to realize in the least de¬ gree what it means or what it is, for it is simply beyond the wildest fan¬ cies of imagination. Long before the hour set for the opening scene (the coronation cere¬ monies) the streets were thronged with thousands of people, and a steady stream seemed to pour in from all directions. After the coronation ceremonies King Samuel and Queen Ruth, in a guilded coach of the Louis XIV peri od^drawm by six black horses, fol lowed by the King and Queen’s court in another handsome coach, led the street parade, which was made up of a large number of floats, some of which were perfect pictures of beau ty and originality. Montezuma was qfcvarded first prize for her beautiful and artistic float. Second prize was awarded to Central of Georgia Rail¬ way, while the third prize when to Thomaston, with Albany being given honorable mention. All of these were simply lovely to behold. After the parade, the vast throng wended their way to the berbecue grounds where the most delicious barbecue meats, pickles, etc., were served, in such a systematic way that there was no waiting to be served We were told that 40,670 pounds of f Georgia pigs had been prepared for that event, and bread and pickles in orofcortion. Ai fter dinner, we then went to the pageant grounds where we were alt seated with ease and entertained with music by the Sixth Cavalry mounted band, Central of Georgia Railroad Infantry f-kjep band, band and from the Fort Twenty-Ninth Benning. . Then began the Teal thing “The Trail of Pink Petals”—where scene after scene was unfolded, portraying the history of the peach, which were too beautiful for mere words to des Cnbe ' Fort Valley, with a white population of only 2,000 men, women and chil dren, is certainly to be congratulated Ik f If V •/ v ft „r "W If // Ik IlY 0 ONLY 7 MORE SHOPPHG Vs &■) ° fl \\ I V/s, m* v I I 0 P rv AX# ii'S'M \ I r UTS TL EASIER! j", \ xl ik # w y/j Mm.

Davidson, oi Peach County, has informed The Tel¬ egraph that he is more firmly en¬ trenched than ever in his belief that Georgia should abolish the inheri¬ tance tax. He and Representative Nat \v inship of Bibb County will be found working together in the com¬ ing General Assembly for that one bill. “Talking with business men and bankers in Miami, Orlando, Braden town and several other centers in Florida, I got the same conclusion from all of them—that more sub | stantial growth and investment can be traced directly to the elimination 0 f an inheritance tax than any other ' one thing,” Mr. Davidson said. “Real estate investment in Florida started from that; people from other States began turning loose their money in '' realty as soon as they found out thal tht state ha(l e H m i na ted its inheritance tax, and that activity brought the same kind of activity f rom 0 ther sources.” 1 The Telegraph welcomes such an able advocate as Representative Da¬ vidson to the ranks of those who w>il! fight for the abolition of the inheri¬ tance tax. It is confiscatory in prin cinle: it is Socialistic in principle and it is a deterrent to progress. upon showing such a magnificent spirit of co-operation and progress in presenting this wonderful event. Neither time nor expense was spared in arranging for the thousands of visitors to that grand little city, which shows such a fine spirit of development. We do not believe there is a city or ton anywhere that has shown such a marked degree of ad vancement as the Peach County Ca Jta , and with j ohnny Jones at the head of their publicity medium, they are destined to become a great city. Already Macon is calling them her sister city _ The mem bers of the Georgia Press Association were the special guests of the Pub i icjty Committee on Fri day and we were royaHy entertained t0 say the leagt . j ohn „ y J on es cer tainly knows how to entertain as well as how to run a newspaper, and the people of that splendid city seem to realize his worth. rHE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VA LLEY, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1925.
