first car peaches
SHIPPED LAST FRIDAY.
Fruil in Fine Condition and
Should Bring a
Fancy Price.
Perhaps the first car load of
peaches ever shipped from San-
dersville was consigned to New
York city Friday !>y Messrs.
Ohamlee and Collins, who own the
law' peach orchard in north east
Sandersville. The peaches ship
ped were the prettiest lot ever
seen here and were the Carmen
variety. The car contained 400
orates or about BOO bushels and
owing to their quality should
bring a fancy price. Mr. Collins
in speaking to a Herald repre
sentative stated that they have
10.000 Carmen trees and about
20.000 Elbertas, nil of which are
young and well fruited this year.
The car shipped left over the San
dersville railroad to Tennillo,
thence by the Central to New
York, and will make almost ns
fast time us the regular passenger
trains.
This is the first crop to amount
to anything from this orchard and
the proprietors are naturally feel
ing very good over the outlook.

MEETING CLOSED
AT BAPTIST CHURCH.
Eight Accessions to Church
Roll. Much Interest
is Manifested.
The protracted services which
have been in progress at the Bap
tist church in this city for eight
<hvys closed last Sunday night
with eight new members being
added to the roll, two of which
were by letter. The attentive
audiences at each of the services
manifested deep interest and
much spiritual good was accom
plished.
Rev. A. Chain lee, who has been
pastor of the church for several
years, conducted the services and
his sermons were clear, concise
and hiredul, carrying conviction
and thought with each utterance.
Mr. C. C. Kiser of Atlanta, had
charge of the song service and
delighted the congregation by his
excellent singing.

again to meet him who before

AUGUSTA SOUTHERN
TO BE EXTENDED.
Unofficial Report Says
Plans are Complete
for Line to Macon.
Last Sunday’s issue of the Au
gusta Herald contained an article
which was read with much inter
est by people here and elsewhere
along the line of the Augusta
Southern railroad, The article
reftrred to stated that it was un
officially announced that the
Southern railway management
had completed arrangements for
the extension of the Augusta
■Southern railroad from Tennille
to Macon, thus putting the pat
rons of its line in direct touch
with that point instead of having
to make a transfer at Tennille.
This plan, if carried out, will
mean much to the traveling pub
lic, and more than anything else
would give the territory traversed
a through freight rate from west
ern markets, connecting at Macon
and Augusta with the Southern.
The citizens of Sandersville are
anxiously awaiting the official an
nouncement as it will give this
city better railroad facilities, put
her in direct connection with
Macon and give her a better
freight and passenger service than
it now has. It is not reported the
route the extension will take from
Tennille, but it is thought that it
will go out by Stevens’ Pottery
and thence to Macon.
Mr. W. A. McCarty of this city,
who is one of the directors of the
Augusta Southern, stated yester
day to a Herald man that he
knew nothing whatever of the
matter except the article above
referred to.
