The Gridin correspondent ol the
Macon Telegraph furnishes the fol
lowing interesting item:
Ol eoilrso tbore are people in
every section of the country who
become dissatisfied—want to move
to other parts of the world, think
ing that they could do so much
better elsewhere, etc. But in sup
port of a position long since as
sumed by many of us, I give the
following as an illustration of what
can be done In Middle Georgia if
people will only go to work right:
About eight miles cist of here
there lives a family who have a
peach orchard of five acres, from
which they gathered and dried 2,-
000 pounds of peaches sold hor-: yes-
terday at 10c. per pound; total,$200.
They could not possibly save all
the fruit, so it was converted into
brandy, or which they have fifty
S allous worth to day $2. Besides
toy sold $80 worth of green fruit,
bau plenty for home use in the
shapo of preserves and dried, and
now will gather fully two bales of
cotton from off these same five
ncies, wortli about $100 more. So
hero wc have the following grand to
tal as the product of flvo acres:
Pried fruit sold, $200; brandy,
$100; green fruit sold, $80; two
bales or cotton, $100; total, $150,
not counting what was consumed
at home. Wbora can you beat It?
