never been very many grapes shipped
from here, but there will be in less
i lian three years some fine orchards of
ivrapeb. There is a variety of soil in
i his section which makes it better
adapted to the fruit Industry than a
country where they have only one
kind, as different fruits require dtffer-
t nt soils.
We have In this section sandy lands,
clay lands, and also a rolling and
slightly hilly country, which makes
tills section finely adapted to the eul
lure of fruit. L. P. Lester.
SMITHVILLE.
The County Will Ship Forty Cars of
Fruit.
Sraithville, June 15.—(Special.)—
Ther will be shipped from the Smith-
vllle depot fruit as follows, according
as based on my former experience In
shipping:
W. W. Thompson will ship as fol
lows: LeConte Pears. 6,500 bushels;
Kelffcr pears. 4,000 bushels: Japan
plums, 1,000 bushels; peaches. 1.000
bushels.
O Hays: LeConte pears, 1,2000 buBh-
els; Kelffer pears, 800 bushels.
I. D. Reichert: LeConte pears, 1,000
bushels; J. G. Barfield, 500 bUBhels; G.
H. Hays, 200 bushels; W. D. Wells,
I, 0000 bushels; J. W. Wells, 500 bush
els; J. W. Clark, 300 bushels.
R. P. Johnson will ship; LeConte
pears, 500 bushels; peaches, 500 bush
els; Japan plums, 500 bushels; Kelffer
pears, 500 bushels.
G. D. Avera will ship: LeConte
pears, 200 bushels. Mrs. Aimer Car
penter, LeConte pears, 200 bushels;
peaches, 100 bushels; other small lots
LeContes, 1,000.
Total amount to ship from the
Smlthvllle depot of pears, plums and
peaches wll amount to 22,500 bushels,
or fifty car loads of 24,000 pounds. I
cannot estimate the melon shipment,
,t not being in my line, but there will
be many car loads. This estimate
does not include all of Lee county, but
what Is contlglous to Smtthville only.
Other shipping points I cannot esti
mate, but the shipments will be heavy.
There are but few who have given
fruit growing for market any atten
tion in Lee county. Though It Is as
jood for fruit growing as any county
in the state and for pear growing Is
perhaps the very .best. We have
had less blight than any section of the
state up to date.
There will be a fine exhibit of fruit
from this section at the Peach Car
nival and ther will also be a large
attendance. W. W. Thompson.
BARNES V1LLE.
Her Leading Growers Are Working
for the Big Show.
Bamesvllle, June 15.—(Special.)—The
outlook for the fruit crop In this sec
tion Is very promising.
Especially is this true of the peach
crop, which Is unusually large. The
peaches are larger and finer than
they have been In a year or two be
fore and the trees are burdened down
with them. They are large, healthy,
finely flavored and of an extraordinary
line quality. So It is with apples,pears,
plums and other fruits. Fruits arc
more abundant and of a better qual
ity than in years before.
Already many peaches have been
shipped from Bamesvllle. Those hip
ped are of the Alexander variety and
are the earliest peaches raised here.
They ripen about June 1 and are the
principal early variety grown. The
Elbcrtas and Stemet of the World are
a later peach and ripen about July 10.
The fruit crop Is about two weeks
later than usual on account of the late
spring.
There will be something .’Ike thirty
cars of peaches shipped from Bames
vllle the present season, and all of
live cars of grapes. The melon crop
is promising and the vinos are now
line and healthy. About 100 cars of
melons are shlped from here each sea
son.
Bamesvllle will be represented at
the Georgal Peach Carnival at Macon.
Messrs. V, O. Marshburn, J. A. Staf
ford, W. C .Stafford and others of the
larger fruit growers are In favor of
having an exhibit there and some defi
nite arrangements may be made In a
few days about getting up a suitable
exhibit. A. S. Hardy.
OGLETHORPE
Looking Forward to the Carnival
With Great Interest.
Oglethorpe, June 15.—(Special.)—The
Peach Carnival In Macon, from July
1st to July 20th, Is the subject of con
versation here now and, of course, that
brings up the pluck and vim of Ma
con.'
The people here look forward to the
Carnival with keen Interest and sev
eral of our growers and shippers have
declared their Intention of having
some of our luscious fruit on exlbition
there. The good that this enterprise
will do to southwest Georgia is Incal
culable and should he encouraged by
all who feci an Interest In Georgia.
The peach crop In this section Is an
abundant one and the growers expect
a rich reward from them. Already
plums have been shipped from here In
large quantities and the peaches will
follow soon. Watch Macon county at
the great Peach Carnival.
other points throughout the county
since.
The prospects for a fine crop of mel
ons Is very line.
I was told today by a gentleman who
has been taking in the fruit producing
regions of southwest Georgia that there
would probably be not more than a
half crop of pears taking In the pear
belt as a whole, and that the pears
would bo unusually smallt unless we
had rain very soon. He stated, how
ever. that the crop was much better
around Thomasvllle than any other
point In the pear belt.
It Is estimated by those who know
that the peach crop for this section
will exceed. In quality and quantity,
that of any previous year.
There has grown up In the northern
portion of Thomas county, principally
around Meigs and Pelham, an Im
mense grape Industry, which Is a sur.
prise to all who visit that section. II
Is a common thing to sec vineyards
covering from twenty-five to one hun
dred acres, and the success with which
they are meeting Is something wonder
ful.
While there has been no Immediate
action taken toward having this coun<
ty represented at the Georgia Peach
Carnival, such a step Is favorably
spoken of, and it Is hoped and
lleved that Thomas county will not
lag in this matter.

LEESBURG.
THOMASVILLE.
Thomas County Looks With Favor On
an Exhibit.
Thomasvllle. June IS.—(Special.)—
Thomasvllle and Thomas county are
very much elated over the fact that
the first car load of Oeorgla melons
were shipped from this county on last
Wednesday. They were shipped from
McDonald, a small town on the Geor
gia Northern railroad. In the eastern
portion of this county, and averaged
about twenty-two pounds. Several car
loads have been shipped from here and
Cheap Lands, a Fine Crop and a Big
Exhibit at the Carnival.
Leesburg, June 15.—(Special.)—The
outlook Is splendid. We have a soil
that is finely adapted to the production
of peaches. We have size, color and
flavor. Land3 are at reasonable rates
—33 to 310 per acre—and In a latitude
that enables us to put the first fruit
upon the market. The second solid
'car of this season was shipped from
here, and from one orchard. We look
forward to the time when Lee county
will rank second to nono as a fruit
growing county. We have 50,000 peach
trees In the neighborhood of Leesburg.
Most of our trees arc young and not
In bearing this year. Good profits have
been realized so far. Four hundred
amj sixty cases have been shipped and
several cars will be shipped later.
Opinion Is very favorable to an ex
hibit at the Peach Carnival. We will
have an exhibit of the resources of the
county.
The Telegraph has materially aided
us to agitate cheap homo seekers'
rates.
OORDON.
The Peach Carnival Is All the Talk
and Handsome Exhibits Coming.
Gordon, June 15.—(Special.)—The
fruit outlook, which has almost reach
ed the stage of perfection, Is as fine
as It is possible to be. The little town,
for the first time in three years, pre
sents a thrifty apearance. Every mer
chant lias a force of hands making
crates In the afternoon nf each day to
ship the fruit they know will come
In on the following morning. The
peaches are exceptinnaly line thin sea
son, notwithstanding the trees are
full that farmers huve to pn>;i them
In order to keep them from being
ruined.
The Peach Carnival Is all the talk
now and you may look for ns hand
some exhibits from tills section ns
from anywhero In the whole peach
section.
The watermelon industry Is very ex
tensive with us and the fields arc dot
ted with tilts luscious variety of fruit
of ull colors and sizes.
Wo were visited yesterday with a
fine rain ,which will perfect tile de
velopment of the different kinds of
fruit.
VALDOSTA.
By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them
at the Carnival.
Valdosta, June 15.—(Special.)—The
late spring and excellent seasons have
given to this section a prospect for an
almost unprecedented crop of fruit.
Trees have not had a single set-back,
except the pear, which, as,usual, Is at
tacked by its most formidable foe, the
blight.
Peach trees are hanging so heavily
with their burden of trull that the
smaller limbs break under the load.
The crop Is. of course, a little late, but
a few peaches have been placed upon
the market during the past week,
whleh ate exeeptlonally fine for the
early crop, and noticeably free from
rot und ull traces of Insects.
The melon crop is about ten days
late, although a few may be seen In
market now. It lu reported that the
acreage Is much less than last year
and the crop not in us flourishing con
dition. Valdosta will probably ship
her first car during the next week.
It 1s to be hoped that some one will
take the matter In hand and see that
our section Is well represented at the
Georgia Peach Carnival, for Its pos
sibilities cannot be better shown than
by a fine Kolb Gem and a big red
peuch, for “by their fruits shall ye
know them." John T. Blalock.
ALBANY.
The Crop Will Be tho Largest Ever
Gathered In Dougherty County.
Albany, June 15.—(Special.)—The
fruit crop of this section Is an as
sured success. The trees being well
fruited and weighted down from the
enormously large crop that will soon
be gatherd from them this season.
The pear crop will not be os large
as usual on account of blight. Nearly
al the trees 1 have Been seem to be
blighted so much that they will have
to be cut down, but the other fruits
are a success.
There have been several large ship
ments of peaches from this section al
ready. Among the ahlppera are J. M.
Tift, D. W. Klrkman and others.I All
around tlic elty looks to bo an orchard
and In a few years Albany will rank
as a shipping point second to none.
Among our lurgest growers are Mr.
J. M. Tift, who bus about 1,000 trees
that are bearing; Mr. M. V/essolow-
slty, who has a good many; Mr.
M. Nelson, Mr. Jim.Johnson, Mrs. B.
F. Wilder and numbers of others.
Grapes grow In profustlon here
Nearly all tho growers of fruits have
laige vineyards.
The melon crop Is nearly assured.
Specimens have been brought In that
weighed as high as thirteen pounds.
There is a large acreage planted In
this section. Home of them claim
they will be able to ship by the 20th
of the month. Judging from the pres
ent outlook tho fruit crop of this i
lion will bo the largest that was ever
gathered.
I have teen the grower? around here
who say they will certainly have dis
plays, and from what I can learn,
Dougherty county will bo well repre
sented at the Georgia Peach Carnival.
AMER1CU8.
The People Wll Be Here to Talk up
Humter County.
Amcrlcus, June 16.—(Special.)—Tho
fruit crop in tills section Is by fur the
best since 1800, especially tho fruit
crop. Small shipments are being made
hero every day and the returns are
good. The apple crop Is exceedingly
good and plentiful. Ther are several
small orchards loaded down with this
fruit and this section will be n a year
or two a thorough fruit centre. There
are a great many orchards off the
railroad In this county and surround
ing country that would ship If they
bad the opportunities.
And Amcrlcus is greatly In need of
a canning factory or an evaporator.
Either would pay here, as there are
hundreds of bushels of fruit that are
wasted that should Is; utilized.
There are also thousands of lino
melons grown In Sumter county that
will be on the market by July 1st and
lurge shipments are made from this
and other points.
There Is no doubt that this Is the
greatest year for fruit that there has
been for a long time.
Amerlcus will not be behind In the
way of exhibits at the Carnival. Her
people will be there, too, all the time
to talk the advantages of this section
of tho country.
MADISON.
The Enterprises of Morgan Will Be
Stimulated by the Carnival.
Madison, June 15.—(Special.)—Mor
gan county Is Just entering upon one
of the most wonderful fruit seasons In
her history. Trees are bending under
the precious and delicious burden.
The cry of “cherry ripe” Is mingled
with "want any Jew be'lcs?" familiar
to citizens of every Georgia town—a
cry that will yield only ,to a similar
one when blackberries are In their
ripened glory, as they soon will be.
The peach crop In this section will
be tremendous, tho plum crop unparal
leled and the berry crop will prove a
Godsend to the poorer classes through
out the county. Morgan is emphatl-
cnly a fruit county. As yet only a few
of our citizens have experimented be
yond the old-tlmu orchard, but some
are doing so. Col. DcWnlfe, the
Messrs. Muslin, Col. Broughton, Mr.
j. C. Itlcliter and others have planted
orchards und vlncyurds of from five
to fifty acres, and thin year their more
sanguine expectations will he realized.
In a few years Houston und the oth
er great peach counties of south Geor
gia will have to lock to their laurels
for with Its soil spcclaly adapted to
the culture of the peuch and Its brac
ing climate, Morgan produces a very
superior article and enterprise alor.o
is lacking.
Tills will be stimulated by tho carni
val, to Whleh our people arc looking
forward with great Interest and which
they will attend In large numbers to
pick up a few dots on peach culture.
