Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Kev. .1, Gun-
derman, of Dimondalc, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract: “I have
no hestitation in recommending. Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results
were almost marverous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
churcli at Hives Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La-
Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of cough
ing would last hours with little interrup
tion and it seemed as if site could not
survive them. A friend recommended
Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick
in its work and highly satisfactory in
results." Trial bottle free at Jake W.

The statement has been made
that the pitcrcst received by the
state from the depositories is $8,000

interest on the deposits for the first
six months since Gov. Atkinson
made tbo new contract with the de
positories has been $8,000. This, is
up to Sept. 1. This plan .brings in
to the treasury $16,000 per year that

The following letter from Rev. L.
A. Snow, written some weeks since,,
recently came to hand:
It seems an age since I was in Tif
ton. I havo suffered from an ugly
attack of fever, and must stay “among
the lulls” ’till cold weather removes
the weakness and nervousness—at
least, in part. I will be down about
November 1st.
The purpose of this letter is to
send greeting to my triends, and
speak a word concerning the result
of the peach crop of the season of
1895. All things cohsiderod, I think
it was a marked success. Of course,
it was not as large as had been ex
pected. The most experienced grow
ers are liable to overestimate the crop
on young trees, and the wet season
for gathering made their impress on
both quantity and quality. But the
trees bole* all they should—many of
them more, and on the “size, color
and flavor” question, wo will let our
friends tell the rest of the story:
Philadelphia, July 21.(Telegram)
—To the Tift & Snow Go.: Car re
ceived. Finest I over saw.

all yon can of Tiff tfc Snow fruit. It
is the finest that comes to this market
and brings better prices than any
other.

Best seen in Boston this year.

Atlanta| July 28.—Since corning
here 1 havd-met quite a number of
men employed hy this company, who
loaded fruit at the various shipping
points, and they all agree, after my
description of your peaches, that it
was the fiiicst fruit shipped from this
section of the fruit territory.

1 will add that we maintained our
claim to being earlier than points
north of us. We have mainly to fear
oxhorbiUUit rates on the railroads,and
this can be regulated. I append a
letter from Mr. Ninimiek, allowing
how Georgia peaches nre appreciated
North:

L. A. Snow, Tifton, Ga.—Dear
Sir: On my return yesterday from a
short trip out of town, I received
your favor of 18th inst., and the box
of magnificent Elbertas. It was a
very neat compliment, ami one I will
endeavor to appreciate. I distributed
some of the peaches among my
friends in the iron business here, and
it would have done your heart good
to hear the comments; they are cer
tainly fine, and of delicious flavor.
Am very sorry to have missed tho
Fair, judging from the Gazette, it
must have been a great success.
With many thanks for the peaches,
and trusting I may see you this fall,
I remain, Yours Very Truly,
W. H. Nimick.
