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. In Memoriam. C. W.

One Who Loved Him. 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.
