LATE FLORIDA CROPS BRING GOOD PRICES Florida fruits and veKetables from the east coast, damaged and delayed by the unusually cold weather and the heavy rains, are from three to six weeks late this year, causing higher prices than for years to prevail in Atlanta and New York, according to J. M. Simmons, staff representative of the New York Fruitman’s Guide, who reached the city Wednesday. Mr. Simmons is a pioneer newspaper man, and formerly owner of the Jackson (Tenn.) Daily Whig. “The vegetable movement is daily Incoming heavier,” he said, “and I predict an early decrease in prices. At the same time while the crop is moving in car loa Is at the present, last year it was moving in trainloads. lioth the first and second crops of cel ery, the cabbage crop, lettuce and tomatoes have fallen far short of last year’s production, but the quality now is rapidly growing better. “Nearly 4,000.000 boxes of citrus fruit -oranges, tangerines and grupefuit- of the 1011-12 crop have been shipped and about 600,000 boxes are yet to be moved. While the crop has been short, higher prices have been given, and as a result the growers will almost equal last year’s profits.” Savannah to the Front. In a spirited address before the Savannah Chamber of Com merce last week, Col. G. A. Gor don spoke of Savannah’s future in the following optimistic terms: “Mr. Gray informed me that I was expected to read the future. Prophesying is a fascinating, but a very rash undertaking. Some time ago when turpentine was quoted at a high figure, a promi nent banker said to a large naval stores dealer, ‘Prophesy what turpentine will be worth six months hence.’ To which the latter replied, ‘Ask the spirits.’ The following visions of the fu ture were not inspired by any kind of spirits, but were deduced from a comparison of the present with the past. "Formerly we traveled on san dy streets. Now we have asphalt and bricks in the city, and gravel on the roads. The vision: the sun darkened by a multitude of aeroplanes bringing people from their homes in the extended city limits, such as Tybee, Thunder bolt and Isle of Hope, to their offices down town near Daflin Park. "Formerly a mule plowed, and a darkey picked, the cotton. Now, sad to relate, the same conditions exist. The vision: An I auto-plow; a mechanical cotton | picker, a ginner, baler and seed crusher operated by one man. “Formerly communications were carried by messengers. Now we use telephones. The i vision a wireless city, with each resident hitching his wireless telephone and moving picture! camera to any transmitter de-j sired and thus seeing and hear ing an opera in New York or conversing with a friend crossing the Pacific on a dirigible balloon. “In closing, one serious thought: We are living in a wonderful age. The awakening \ of China will probably produce results, both political and com mercial, unequalled since thedis-j covery of America. A golden opportunity lies before Savannah. . Wo are nearer the Panama canal than New York or Baltimore or. New Orleans or Galveston, i Through that narrow cut will How the trade not only of West ern South America and Central America, but of China. China is! changing. China has become a republic. China, a user of cot ton goods, cannot for many years manufacture enough to supply its teeming millions. Behind us lie the forests and cotton fields; the coal and iron; the water power and the cotton mills. Before us lie the mighty hosts clamoring for our products. Savannah the key of a continent! Savannah, the gateway to a world!” Farm Hands Wanted. Wanted, one or two good white men to work on farm. Will pay good wages. Come to see me at once. J. A. CLEGG. Scotland, Ga.

Kiddoo, of Cuth bert, visiting Washing on, had occasion to call on Speaker Can non, when he was piesiding over the house. Os this visit Judge Kiddoo says: “I found the speaker, Cannon, very pleasant in manner and ready to indulge in a chat. While ■ I was in his room Congressman 1 W. G. Brantley passed by. “ There goes ooe of the very best lawyers in this congress. You Georgia people should be very proud of him. He has an unusual legal mind. It is my custom when confroted with ab truse legal Questions to call on members of both parties and also , the attorney general fora legal 1 “brief” for my information. But i of the briefs sent me those of i Brantley surpassed all, even that of the attorney general of the United States. On legal ques tions he has no superior in con cress. ’ i “I appreciated this compliment ! from the speaker, for he was a ’ stand-patter of the stand-patters, i And he and Brantley were far apart on party questions. But it did me good to hear such expres sions of appreciation for a Geor- ! gia congressman, for it was dis- j interested, as Brantley fought the great apostle of high tariff with all his vigor of mind and strength. But jtolitical opponents have friendships. Blaine w’as a great personal admirer of Ben Hill.” Macon Telegraph. Simple Enough. Old Aunt Sally, the highly es teemed cook in a Southern fami ly. was frequently praised for her culinary skill, and on one oc casion. when a number of guests had l>een to dine with the fami ly, remark was made touching the beautiful appearance of Sal ly’s pie, which showed a very pretty scallop on its edge. Inquiry lieing made as to how the old lady managed to get such an even design, Sally was sum moned to the dinning room and the question was duly put to her. The emotions of the guests may be imagined when the old lady replied: ■ “Oh, dat’s easy. Jest uses my false teeth.”—Ladies’ Home “ Journal. Brannan Gets $4,000. Dublin, Ga., March 14.—The jury sitting on the case of 0. F. Brannan. of Macon, against the ; Macon, Dublin and Savannah Railroad Company, in which the plaintiff claimed damages to the amount of $30,000 against the defendant company, returned a verdict granting *Mr. Brannan i $4,000.

The lender that will handle my business is especially desireable for parties that want big loans on farm lands, and for those who want to build homes in towns. Their interest is 6 per cent. Terms five years, the borrow pay ing 1-10 each year thereby re ducing the interest, and princi i pal so the final settlement will be j easy. The money for building !or improving homes in towns is also 6 per cent, money, and the loans are arranged so the bor rower repays monthly for 60 months. You only have to add a little to the amount you are paying as rent to own you a home in a short time. I think this a good way for a person to get a home. L. C. Underwood, Mt. Vernon, Ga.
