New York, June 28—The Herald
aaya today that the reaignation of John
F. Wallace, ohlef engineer 6f the Pana-
ntnally are made between the 5th and
15th of July. The fruit ia of email aixe,
but aeeana to be of good quality. It
bringa about 35 oenta per barrel on the
treea, and about 90 oenta a barrel more
when peeked for ehlpmeut. One hun
dred and fifty barrele make up a oar, ao
the ahipper receiver about 980 per oar.
B. F. Cochran and Jas. McKinnon are
handling the bulk of the early boat-
neat.
Thera are no eapeeially large produ-
oera in the oounty. Almoat every-farm
haa a pear orohard. Some yean ago
the pear craze atruok thla oounty and
everybody planted. Then they eat
down to wait, fondly hoping for fame
and fortune “when the pear treea bear. ”
Fora time the ereharda were assiduous-
ly cultivated and the Aral crop waa a
record-breaker with oonaequeut low
prices. The grower! were dlagustedat
the outcome of their venture and neg
lected the treea. Aa a reanll the blight
came and thinned out the acreage.
Naturally the price roae, and then haa
been eome profit iu pean of late yean.
It ia pndictcd that the prioe will go up
ae the fruit gete larger and the sc .eon

would not butt into the Grady oounty

settled by the legialature rad I am quite
■ore that ray thing that I might say
would not do the oauae any good that I
espoused. Even now I have no idea
that this wonld have been written bad

sent the notable reporter-preaoher and

I receive a copy of hla paper, the Bruns

known inj estimate of the Bar. Small
he wonld have kept my name from bia

source that it dose still if the elate that
he ia making for goes through who
knows that bo will not be paid for hia
work in this oampalgn. This is the
point that I wish to call the attention
of people to. Georgia in toy judge
