THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. THEELBERTAPEACH REACH GROWERS AUK. BUSY GUT TING THEIR PRODUCT ON THK MARKET. The scenes around the peach farms in this community are in teresting indeed just now. The famous Elbertas are some days la ter in getting ready for the mar ket here than at Fort Valley and Marshallville and in that section, but they are none the less attrac tive when they do get ready. There are spores of fruit buyers here looking after the interests of their various firms and they are all anxious for the fruit. The fruit crop is short in this commu nity, but there will be about fifty cars shipped by the growers here. While the crop is short the fruit is very fine, in size and flavor, and the prices demanded are somewhat above the average. The scenes around the fruit farms and around the city, show something of the importance of the industry. At the farms every thing is on the go. Scores of peo ple are employed, each person at his task and it is certainly an in teresting scene. Picking, packing and getting the fruit in the cars and to the shipping point occupy the attention and everything looks like business and it is business. While Barneaville will ship only about fifty ears this season, it means much for the community, and we doubt not that in a few short years hundreds of cars will leave Barneaville every season for the American and European mar kets, putting shekels in the pock ets of the growers and all the peo ple of the section. The peach industry is in its in fancy here and it is certain to be come more important as the years pass by. No where can the fa mous Elberta be grown to greater perfection or with more profit than around Barnesville and the market is simply unlimited. The whole world wants the Elberta and will pay money to get it. Mr. V. (). Marshborn, the real pioneer peach grower of the com munity, is busy night and day gathering and shipping. The El bertas produced on his Hill Crest farm are famous throughout the country, and it is no trouble to dispose of all he can grow every year. His crop, of course, is short, but he will ship about twenty-five cars this season. Messrs. Stafford & Howard will ship about fifteen cars. They have one of the finest orchards in the state, thousands of young trees and are putting out thousands more every year. They are expert fruit growers and are bound to make a great success of the busi ness. Among the smaller growers are Messrs. J. C. Collier, Albert Mid dlebrooks, A. O. Murphey, T. W. Cochran, .Joe Sappington. Comes to Barnesville. Mr. J. R. Sims of Perry, Ga., arrived in the city Monday after noon, and will make this his home in the future. He comes to en gage in the practice of his profes sion, dentistry, and has already secured offices over the store of Mr. B. F. Reeves. It will he remembered that the family of Mr. Sims has been here all the summer, but owing to cir cumstances over which he had no control, was unable to locate here earlier. Mr. Sims has the distinction of being a very fine dentist and will doubtless command a liberal pat ronage from our citizens. OAOTORZA. Bean tie BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1902. Crib of Corn Burned. Friday night about 9 o’clock a small barn at the home of Mr. P. F. Matthews was discovered on fire and in a very short time it was burned down, with about 200 bushels of corn. The fire company responded promptly to the alarm and prob ably kept the larger barn and other houses from being destroyed. It is supposed the fire originated from cigarette smoking by some boys, or from a match dropped in the crib. Several years ago a larger barn was burned in the same lot. The people sympathize with Mr. < Mat thews in the misfortunes which have befallen him. He has suffer ed heavy losses by fire. AN ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT Given by Major anti Min. G. W.
