that prey upon the tender vegetation
of the farmers and gardeners.

of Beach Haven, S. C., are spending
some time with Miss Oulila Dunbar
and are receiving much attention

ting up dtatiutlcs from tho chain-,
gangs of this section. Capt. Deadwl-

In the upper pnrt of the state, finds
time to serve his county.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
have decided to postpone their en
tertainment, "A Trip Around the
World,” for ono week. It will, there
fore, be held next Friday evening In

cold weather.
Yesterday was one of the few cold
days when there was no thawing at

morning and it remained that way
all day long. The weather was not
disagreeable except when the wind
could get a fair Hwipe at you.
The high prices of wood this year
will forco the people to put in grates

$1 .50 for anything like a’good load.

rnlso in rates and made the new de
partment a necessity, and hence he is
responsible for our new department
to that extent.

praising 'em “some."
The “Business Locals” In Tho
Tims* contain a lot of shop - news
which every reader should carefully
scan. You can save enough by read
ing these locals to pay for the paper

Ware County’s Potato Crop.
A conservative estimate places the
number of Irish potatoes to be ship
ped from points within twelve miles
of Waycross during tho coming spring
at 22,500 barrels. Never before has
there been such a great acreage plant
ed in potatoes. It is claimed that
nbout 1,500 barrels of seed potatoes
have already been.sold to tho farm
ers.’ One Waycross wholesale house
alone sold 700 barrels. Tho soil In
Ware county seems to be especially
adapted to the growing of potatoes,
both Irish and sweet, and this class
of truck growing Is Increasing every
year.

Bureau for this week effiSed yes
terday, says: *-
"Reports indicate much activity in
general farm work; plowing is pro
gressing well, and some planting will
be done within the next week. The
weather has been generally dry rod
much colder than normal, resulting in
retarded growth of vegetables. Frost
and ice occurred during the first part
of the week over western, northern
and the upper portion of the central
district, doing some damage tc ten
der vegetables. Orange shipments
continued, but a large quantity of
fruit still remains on the-irees. Pine
apples In the southern district show
bloom. Good local rains occurred over
a portion of the southern district,
doing much good to crops. The week
closed fair and pleasantly warm t
rain needed over all districts except
the southern.”
