PEACH ©ROWING.
Mr. J. (j. Nolan Will Set Out an Or
chard of 3,000 Trees.
Three thousand peach trees !
That’s a good many for one man to
plant out in one season, hut that’s
just what our enterprising fellowtowns
man, Mr. J. Q. Nolan, is preparing to
do.
As was stated in a former issue, al
though no name was given at that time,
Mr. Nolan has thoroughly investigated
the fruit growing industry in Georgia,
having visited Fort Valley and other
sections, and has been thoroughly con
vinced that “there is money iu it.” He
also is of the opinion that as good
fruit can be raised here in hid Henry
as at anv of the points he bus visaed.
Therefore he has decided to set out an
orchard of three thousand trees of the
famous Elbertas this season as a sort
of “starter.”
Several other gentlemen are speak
ing favorably of going into the fruit
growing business, and we hope in a
few years to see our people paying as
much attention to, and reaping as rich
profits from this industry as the people
around Fort Valley have been doing
for several years past.
Our lauds are adapted to the peach,
pear and plum, and railroad facilities
are ample..
Money for peaches come in at a sea
son when the farmer usually needs it
most, and has less. So we are count
ing on this industry to assist in build
ing up our section in the near future.
Mr. .Nolan will also invest in the
dairy business. Shipping lys produce
to Macon, Atlanta, Griffin and Colum
bus.
Everyone recognizes Mr. Nolan, to
be one of the very best business men
in this section, and that he lias branch
ed off into these industries can hut
gain for them in the eyes of the public
confidence as sure and paying invest
ments.
A POT OF MONEY.
Bogus Coins Discovered in an Old
Well on the Public Square.
It will surprise many, we suppose, to
learn that at some time iu'the past his
tory of McDonough counterfeiters have
tried their hand on producing the
“queer” in their midst.
But such is a fact, nevertheless.
Last Friday while two negroes were
engaged in cleauiug out the public well
on the south side of the squire, they
made a discovery that fairly made their
eyes bulge for a short while. In re
moving the mud and other acuumula
tion they came across an
can that, when lifted was so heavy
it aroused their curiosity and caused
them to inspect it more closely. Pic
ture their amazement when upon turn
ing the can up out fell a perfect show
er of what appeared to be bright, shin
ing silver specie.
Upon examination it was discovered
to be very poor counterfeits of half
dollars of 1852. They were about the
size of the half dollars of that date,
but were considerably off in weight,
and contained several flaws on the face
that readily branded them for what
they were.
The can contained $7.50 of the
bogus coin.
The well in which the money was
found had not been cleaned out before
in years, hence no idea can be formed
as to the date when the can was drop
ped in it.
The person or persons who were
trying to coin this spurious currency
must have been novices at the business,
judging from the coins.
The theory has been advanced that
the counterfeiters became alarmed less
they should be discovered and threw
their ware in the well to hide all evi
dences ; but how it really came there
is a mystery that will probably never
be solved.
Truly, we know not of the evil
transpiring at our very doors.
The young people of McDonough
will participate iu a fruit supper at the
hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. C.
R. Walker this evening. That it will
be an occasion of rare enjoyment there
is no doubt.
The sudden cold and inclement
weather kept many away from church
and Sunday School services Last Sun
day. But, nevertheless, there was a
fairly good attendance on each. At
the Methodist church communion was
held at 11 o’clock a. m., and the pastor
delivered a sermon setting forth tie
views of his church as to the comment
oration of the Lord’s Supper. All
who listened closely to his words on
that occason can but fe<?l that they i
were profited there by. The pastor
agam preached at Diglit. Brother
BriDsfield is daily growing in greater
favor with his congregation, and his
two able sermons last Sunday did much
to strengthen the already strong ties
that biud them together.
We are not puffing and blowing
about the amount of capital we have,
but will only say this : Our capital is
sufficient to do the business of this sec
tion, and we feel assured that our ef
forts to do a liberal portion of same
will be crowned with great success, if
good goods, low prices, houest, fa : r
dealing are taken into consideration.
Come to see us and get our prices be
fore buying.
