The farmers of Georgia have good
reason ts be thankful for the abnndane
corn orop with which they have been
blessed this year. Never in the history
of the state hae such a corn crop been
made. Thousands of farmers will make
sufficient to last them for two years,
and just here ltes onr danger: Any corn
offered for sale mnst bring a low price,
for the orop Is enormous all over the
ooudtry. Finding little tale for oorn,
many farmers may be induoed to plant
less next year, and largely inorease
their ootton orops, thus bringing on the
condition of things from wnioh we
have just emerged, via., low priced oot

to raise a warning voice against this

NeW Engines Are Always Tested on
Local Branches.
It mn.y not be generally known
that locomotives intended for ex
press trains require as much train
ing, in their way, for fust running
as do race horses. The Pennsylva
nia Railroad company builds its own
engines, and those built for express
trains are known as Class P. They
are very large and bifilt with slight
variations after the pattern of the
big English engine imported into
this country several years ago, and
which at that time, was a curiosity
in its way. When one of these big
engines is taken out of the shops to
be placed on the road, instead of
putting it to the work it is intended
for at once, it is run for two or
three weeks on some one of the local
branches in order to train it, so to
speak, for fast running; By this
means all the bearings and journals
connected with the running gear be
come settled to their work, for,
should anything about tho new
machine not work harmoniously,
there is ample time to adjust the de
fect. Usually the new engine proves
troublesome on account of its pro
pensity to make fast time, and at
almost every station the train is
found to be a little ahead of schedule
time, and must wait for from ten sec
onds to a minute. — Philadelphia

FRUIT.
The fruit orop of tho state, except ap
ples and late peaohes, ha) berin gather-
and disposed of and the pantries and
storerooms of onr wives boar witness
to the abundance and variety of tho
orop. This has been a phonomonal
year for all kinds of fruit. Our
peaohes stand at tho hoad in all
the northern markets and havo
mode a reputation in so many cities
this year that this should insure for
them a ready sale at better prices in the
future. In peaches, at loast, Califor
nia has almost oeased to be a competi •
tor against ns, for though her peaches
are os a rale larger and more showy,
they cannot ooraparo in flavor, rlohness
and juloiness With those we send t«
market, and oonsnmers are fast finding
this out.- With lower rates of freight,
which I boliovo wo will have another
year, the fruitgrower lias every cause
to be hopeful of future success.
FIELD PEAS.
Farmers havo planted more peas than
usual in all parts of tho state, showing
that they are learning the valno of the
pea as a renovator of tho soil. There
will be a lnrgo orop gathered and on
many fields hogs and other stock will
be turned to fatten.
