SHIPPING PEACHES.
The fruit growers of this sec
tion are beginning to ship their
peaches to the local markets. The
early varieties of the peaches are
maturing very fast and every day
a number of crates are expressed
to the local markets. Owing to
the recent continued dry spell
the peaches are not very large but
are fully matured otherwise and
command a lair price in the
markets. The fruit men here and
at the other points around this
city have shipped a considerable
quantity already and are rushing
their products to market. The
outlook of a bounteous crop of
fruit this season is exceedingly
encouraging.
