Housekeepers complain that
is an unusual; plague of moths this
year. They are not only more
abundant than ever, but they seem
to defy all the ordinary remedies.
They thrive on tobacco and fairly
revel in camphor, while numerous
patent sure deaths for them merely
give them better appetites.
The employe of a» newspaper is
often more fortunate than tbemditor.
Jos Carter, editor of the Atlanta
Journal, was a*, lew months ago
knocked down and robbed of his
Waterbury watch, and now the
mad who runs the engine in the
press room of the Journal office
turns up with a $15,000 prize in the
Louisiana lottery.
Henry County center Weekly: “Griffin is
the fruit of Middle Georgia.
There are hundreds of acres in fruit
in and around Griffin. Lands that
could be formerly bought for $10
per acre can’t be bought now for
$100 per acre. That's what pluck
and well organized diversfied indus¬
try has done.”
The eighteen passenger trains
which arjjve and depart from this
city daily, have had among their pas
sengers for a week past large num*
bers of pretty Georgia raised girls
who are returning from the various
colleges and schools all over the
country, to their homes for the sum¬
mer vacation.
The latest amusement of the small
boy is to dangle a horrible artificial
spider attached ton, string and pole
in froht in unsuspecting victim and
watch his frantic efforts to brush it
away. The spectacle of a man knock¬
ing his stiff hat into the middle of the
road, or a woman knocking off her
hat and false bangs at one false pass,
affords the small boy aforesaid an
unreasoning and demoniac joy.
George McMahan, the engineer on
the accommodation from this place,
who was reported missing very mys¬
teriously on Thursday, has turned
up in Atlanta. After leaving his en¬
gine on that day he was taken very
seriously ill and was unable to either
notify the road of his incapacity for
duty, or his friends of his illness. He
is all right now, and wifi be at-
work again in a few days. He re
tamed to his home in this city last
night.
The Fire Yi eatery,
An alarm of fire was raw sounded
terday mor ning about 9 o’clock,
which proved to be at the frame
dwelling just beyond C. S. Wright’s
and near the cotton factory owned
by Mrs. Crocker and occupied by
Brown Hpeer, proprietor of the wood
yard near there. Hie blaze was. dis¬
covered to be in a eloset in one ofthe
boric rooms and was speedily extin¬
guished with little danger. The hands
at the factory very promptly res¬
ponded to the alarm and by their
qokk work saved the house. The

ting their engine to the second cistern

EIGHT CAR LOADS
OF PEACHES FROM GSIFFIN
AND VINEYARD.
The Ru»b Over For the Prtoent-The
Great Barplto—The Next
Shipments.
A visit to the orchards and vine¬
yards of Spalding's fruit section al¬
most justifies the seemingly exagger¬
ated statements of the enthusiastic
correspondent who saw. clusters of
grapes hanging on every fence
rail and peaches bending down the
boughs of even the,forest trees. The
profusion of fruit is indeed wonderful
and of peaches amazing, being so un¬
usual. Practically all of the grapes
will be saved and probably all of the
later peaches; but of the Alexanders
and other very early varieties, not
over a third has been utilized. Five
refrigerator cars have been shipped
from Vineyard and two from Griffin,
and the remainder is too soft to ship.
In fact, the whole crop became too
soft before it was realized that it was
time to ship—and for this reason no
very large returns are expected from
three shipments.
Never before have the Alexander
and Beatrice had the same develop¬
ment as this year—growing to a good
size, ripening to theseed,almosttast-
ing like a decent peach. Since under
these most favorable circumstances
they have shown their inutility as a
marketable fruit, growers may come
to the conclusion that the News has
voiced for years, that the trees are
not worth the ground they cum¬
ber and that might bo much more
profitably be planted in something
else. With nothing but skin and
water, and very little sugar, they
haven’t sufficient body! or that resort
bj which -the cnlls of other peaches
may be saved and made as valuable
as the finest Speti mens, in the form of
peach brandy. in quant¬
The next to come on any
ity will be the Elbertaa, which will
probably be ready to commence ship,
ping about the latter part of next
week. There will probably be fifty
car loads of these, and the whole
crop Will be saved, as they ripen
more gradually and remain firmer
longer time. They are a beautiful
fruit, with yellow flesh and blush tint
and all the qualities'that go to make
up a peaeh. From thesea very hand¬
some profit will doubtless be realized.
The.grape crop will cope on quite
a period later, and will be immense.
The great portion of the crop Will be
shipped and always brings a good
price; but more and mote wfofe is
made every year.f As a peach country,
this section has its undoubted draw¬
backs, but as a grape region it it un¬
excelled; and it is toward the latter
fruit that constantly more attention
is being given, and more vines are
planted yoprly. M
