OVER THE CITY,
The members of the Amerlcus
Light Infantry are just now more
enthusiastic over their company
than they have ever been. The en
listment goes on under the super
vision of Sergeant Mardre, and ev
ery day new members are added.
They are all good men too, and tho
organization cannot fail to push to
the front. .
In enlisting, the name, nativity,
age, occupation, etc., all have to be
given, and it’s interesting to look
over the list. The ages vary con
shlerably, the average being some
where near twenty-live. In occm
patiou the variation is still greater,
and almost every occupation Is rep
resented. There are more lawyers
than anything else. Then there
are several clerks or salesmen,
banker, planter, several merchants,
a photographer, druggists, tellers,
plumber, stationer, civil engineer
median c, and others who gave
their occupations something still
dill'ereii!.
GEORGIA FRUIT.
THE GREAT SUCCESS THAT ic Mi nr
NEAR FORT VALLEY.
Some Uig Orchards Being Set Out—A
Movement Prom Ohio by Ohio Fruit
Orowers.
One of those who enlisted /ester
day was Hon. Chas. M. Tyson
who has just located here to prac
tlce Ikw. Mr. Tyson, Is, or was,
member of the McIntosh Light
Dragoons, a cavalry company which
lias made a name all over the
country. He is naturally therefore
enthusiastic upon tho subject
cavalry, and makes a good suggeS'
tion to the young men of A inert
cus.
“Why," said he, "you should
have a cavalry company hereby
all means, and I see no reason why
one couldn’t be organized. There
are a number of young men here
and around here who have their
horses, and many others who would
get one if the movement was start
ed. I know I would be delighted
to join such a company, and I have
heard many others say the
same.”
Tlie colored people are going to
make a strong effort to capture the
.State University branch, and their
zeal in this direction is worthy of
great corameudatlon. It shows
that they want their children to
receive the benefit to he derived
from a higher education, and thus
possess one of the essential features
of good citizenship. The white
people will help them In this move
ment, and Amerious stands a good
chance of getting it.
Mr. J. K. Tyler, of Atlanta, has
been in Amerlcus a few day* in the
interest of the Georgia Co-operatlv
I.oan Company, he being general
agent for that company. Mr. Tyler
is a genial and pleasant gentleman
and as a business man cannot be
excelled. A reporter talked to him
at length, and found him to be
most engaging conversationalist.
“Do you know,” said he, “what
a splendid little city you have here ?
In my business I have to travel all
over the country, and there is not
a more progressive city anywhere
than you have here. More enter
prise Is shown, and more Improve
ment than any city I know of,
>11106 my last visit the advance
lias been wonderful, aud Id every
respect this is the best town I know
of."
, that's the way they nil talk
The money market has eased
considerably lu tlie past few weeks,
ami money is more plentiful to-day
.Inin it lias been In a loug time.
'esterday the reporter on his
rounds dropped in at the Bank of
^ niericua, aud found the popular

work.
What's the news?”

From tin* Atlanta Constitution.
Fokt Valley, Ga., Jan. 22.—In
this part of the Htate the peach
grows to the greatest perfection.
And here I found one of the most
magnificent farms in embryo that
now beautify the Southern coun
try.
A little later on and these expan
sive stretches on land, lying out as
a lloor.before the eye, beautified by
the poetic blossoming of the lusci
ous fruit, will breathe inspiration
into the Southern fruit grower, nnd
the delightful odor of these incom
parable advance guards or luscious
sweetness, will tell the world of
the great merit of the Georgia
peach.
The Georgia peach, like the
Georgia melon, is sure to run all
other competitors out of the market.
Its superiority in flavor, develop,
meut and maturity, to say nothing
of its splendor in beautious color,
is something that elicits the most
eloquent pruisu from all quarters of
the globe.
For Valley appreciates the im
portance of the fruit crop to the
fullest, and the recent impetus
given its production,jindlcates that
this Is yet to be, second to cotton
the greatest industry in the'EinpIre
State of the South.
Recent arrangements give prom
Ise of several thousand acres of
land being set out In peach trees in
the county adjacent to Fort Valley,
it being determined that one farm
alone will contain 1,100 acres, or
220,000 trees. ThU Is what may be
called electrical enterprise.
I rode out to tilts place, the AI-
baugli fruit farm, with Captain J.
B. James, the experienced superin
tendent, and had the pleasure of
seeing SO,000 young trees growing
in one body, covering 400 acres of
land. The tract was beautifully
laid off, a wide avenue running
midway through the farm, bordered
with LeConte aud Kiefer pears.
Similar avenues also crossed the
farm, it being checked in flfty-acre
plots, twenty-live acres of growing
trees and twenty-live acres of va
cant land, a rule that will obtain
throughout the 1170-acre division.
The Idea of the projectors Is to so
arrange It as to make It desirable
for small farms, which they propose
putting on the market, when the
trees mature. It is an excellent
plan, aud will result profltably to
the proprietors aa well as the coun
try. Just to think of 80,000 young
peach trees, all whitewashed,
which shows them up down ave
nues two miles In length; all grow
ing In oue body, and consider the
spleudld possibilities of suck an In
dustry, with 140,000 trees added to
this, and all these In three years
freighted with the best and most
wholsome fruit that grows, and it la
enough to inspire a dead man.
Why, the grandeur of the awaken
ing thus produced is incomparable.
It puts to scorn the oft-told tale
that there is nothingbutoppression
In farming. It shows that the
aoutbern planter who pursues his
vocation with energy and Intelli
gence is the happiest man, so far
as profitable returns for well dl
rected labor Is concerned, that can
be found In the civilized world.
And how is this to be shown. Sup
pose we appeal to figures,
taking as a basis nf calculation
one afts of laud; 200 trees can
be plunted upon this land,
fifteen feet apart. The first year
after planting, a full crop of cotton
can be made, while the secoud year
two-thirds of a crop will be shown,
aud each subsequent year the en
tire expense of cultivation will be
defrayed by the pea crop grown.
At this time the tree begins bear
ing, aud the third year will show a
crop of oue to one and a half bush
els per tree. Deduct the cost of
production and sblpmont and you
have on a full crop of $1 net per
tree, or $200 per acre on your fruit.
When the trees are six years old,
they will average two bushels per
tree, allowing 2& cents for growing,
10 cents for gathering, .'10 cents for
crates, 60cents for shipment in re
frigerator cars, and .10 cents for sell
ing. and you have pet per Irep
$1.50, •»*- flUU per acr». This esti
mate allows nothing for the
value of the cotton crop grown ou
the land the first two years, or the
pep crop in subsequent years,
three years on an acre of laud. Is
there any business on earth that
will pay such a profit? The skep
tical reader may contend that these
estimates are unreasonable—let all
such consult auy practical fruit
grower and see. I tell you in all
correctness, that fruit culture In
Georgia is the most profitable In
dustry that can be followed, and
will yet coutest with king cotton
for the precedence.
The Albaugh Georgia Fruit Com
pany has Its principal office at Day-
ton, O., and Is operated under a
capital of $10,000. Hon. N. H. Al
baugh, formerly speaker of tho
Ohio legislature, is president, and
Captain.!. It. James, of Fort Valley,
superintendent. To the latter is
due the successful start made by
the company, as is also due Its for
mation. Captain James is an ele
gant Southern gentleman, and his
progressive work is sure to result
in great good ty his county and
State.
An excursion of Ohioans visited
Fort Valley the past week under
the charge of -Major Giessner, of
Amerlcus, and all were particular
ly impressed with what they saw,
many new- investments being the
outcome of the visit. Amoug this
party were the president and di
rectors of the Albaugh company,
who were delighted over the pro
gress made by Captain James, their
superintendent, In developing their
fruit farm.
Tho Ohio Fruit Land Company Is
another concern recently organized,
with F. G. Withoft, of Dayton, O.,
president, having a capital of $25,-
000. This company purposes buy
ing large tracts of laud to cut up
Into small farms, with a view of In
viting a healthy emigration of the
pure American type. Stroug men
are also backing this company with
their Influence and wealth,*and
much good is expected to follow
their undertaking. They will start
operation by planting 500 acres in
melons tbit year, after which they
will plan for the Inauguration of
the largest peach nursery in the
United States.
Mr. S. H. Humph, who resides
s bout six miles from Fort Valley,
iu the same county, has the finest
fruit-bearing farm In the section,
having 400 acres In fruit and 40
acres in nursery. Helms been iu
the business for twenty years, aud
has accumulated a fortune.
Mr. Frank Houser, one of the
best men on earth, aud as enter
prising as he is noble-hearted, is al
so interested In fruit culture and
will, In a few years, show the re
sult of fine business management.
The favorite peach grown is the
Alberta, its claims to prominence
lying In Its early ripening, thor

proportion, beauteous tinge, and

The fruit crop of Georgia will yet
be a revelation to the most enthu-
siastic. The start made by Fort
Valley aud Houston county should
encourage the balance of the coun
try. There is no such thing
overproduction.
“Say," said one of Amerlcus’
prominent m-r-liauts yesterday,
I noticed,Id Ihk Rkcokukr of
several weeks back, a statement of
the receipts of the post-office fog
the months from last April on,
showiug that the receipte by next
April would undoubtedly be over
$10,000, thus giving us a free de
livery system. I was mighty glad
to see this, us we only need the
system to give us all the /netropoli-
tan airs which we deserve. No,
there’s one other thing I might
add—a better fire department. I
think you were a little too hard lu
to-day's paper, but still if we had a
better department, the protection
would be greater and insurance less.
As It Is, insurance is too high, and
an addition to our system would
put it down where it ought to be.”
"Why, sir,” said he, "our section
has made more advance iu the past
few years than any I know of. For
property that I would have sold at
almost any price n few years hack,
I now refuse ndvances of hundreds
percent. Our little city is leaping
forward with wonderful rapidity,
and our population is added to
dally.”
