THE PEACH INDUSTRY.
Tin-: following letter, which we
clip from the Athens Banner, from
South Georgia will show w lut is he
ing done hy the fruit men of that
section. We believe that our sec
lio i is as well adapted to the peach
industry as South Georgia. IV-aches
will beat cotton at even ten cents; so
would straw berries and grapes. Our
] eople are sleeping over their oppor
tunities. Read aad ponder:
Col. 1). B. Dyer:—ln response to
you request for information in regard
to the peach growing industry, Ila g
leave to submit llm following hasty
observations:
The pretty fortunes that men are
making in the poach industry in the
fruit belt of Georgia is tempting many
oihers to engage in it. Already the
country along the Central railroad
from .Macon to Americas and down
the Georgia, Southern and Florida,
ns far as ’l ifton or Valdosta, is like
one vast orchard.
Crate factories arc necessary to
supply tho crates and there are a
number of them in full blast at Fort
Valley, Marshallrillo and other towns
besides private establishments.
Quite a number of canning factories
have sprung up to can tho surplus
product.
A large ice factory lias been crested
at Fort Valley to supply the refriger
ator cars with ice. They only count
on three crops out of live to make the
land flow with peach ami honey.
Mr Samuel H. llmnpli, of Mar
shalWille, Houston county, is the
pioneer in the business, having at
tained the greatest success with ti e
famous Klherta poach. This pencil
is the favorite for its excellent quali
fies as a shipper and fine flavor.
Upon sixty acres of laud Mr.
Rimiph has a grove, which in sum
mer of 1880, took ihe Northern rnar
k its by storm.
It was planted on the day that
Cleveland was inaugurated, March
ft, 188 ft. The ircis wile gilifted
the year previous. The original
Klherta tree, supposed to he a cross
between I'm Chinese cling and the
Alexander Early, 17 years old, was
still standing a few months ago and
bearing profusely. From this grove
an<l groves adjoining in which Mr.
Kuniph is interested, he made $(1,000
net that year. Within a radius of
3 ) miles over *2OO cars were shipped
in 1880, on which the not retain was
§BOO pet ear. The present crop will
probably go up* i ito the thousands
of car leads. One car lord brought
$1,283, net in Boston. Marshallville
and Fort \ alley have realized as
high as halt' a million each from a
single crop.
Mr. Humph has refused SOO,OOO for
las crop on the trees; this year ex
pecting to better hints Jf by his own
handling. Ibis is the interest on an
investment of two millions, enough
to make a yellow billed cuckoo turn
greon with covetousness.
A terrible tragedy was enacted in
Atlanta Saturday night about 7:20
o'clock. Dr. Lends llanvev, crazed
with drink, met his wife and little
daughter on the street. They tried
to get him to go to his father’s home.
He refused, pulled his pistol out and
shot his wife twice, killing her in
stantly. lie lied, but later gave him
self up and was placed in jail.—Ma
rietta Journal.
The South-haters are now raving
because they can find nothing to cus s
about in the speeches of the ex-eou
federate generals at Chicago last
week- The number of this gang of
sectional alarmists is rapidly dimin
ishing. The understanding between
the masses, north and south, grows
better every day.—Atlanta Journal.
; A Cheap Motiioil of Protecting
Young Fruit Trees.
Take four ]x>sts. seven feet long
(a piece of heart pine rail will do ,
and plant them in the ground six
inches, and about 30 inches apart,
so that the tree will be the same
distance from each -
Nail n strip tour or six inches
wide from corner to corner about
two feet from the ground, and another
up near the top, sawing off the ends
smooth.
Saw eight palings six and half
feet long and six inches wide and
nail two on each side, so as to enclose
the tree in a neat little garden, all
its own, and the work is done. Any
kind of refuse lumber split up into
suitable strips will do for the palings.
Fifty feet of second class lumber
costing about 10 cents will be enough
to enctosq, one tree, and any farmer
can put up a dozen or more ot the
frames in a day, or perhaps more.
In winter when rabbits are barking
the young trees a board laid up close
all around will keep them out. The
trees will be protected from injury
by stock or otherwise and there will
he room fur the young tree to grow.
V. 1). L,
The Govern incut’s Revenues.
All propositions looking to an in
crease of the government's revenues
to meet present and prospective de
ficiencies must be largely discounted
by the fact that the present deficiency
is not large and receipts from customs
and Internal revenues will probably
increase so fast by the timc' l congress
meets there will he no need to pro
vide new sources of income. The
proposition, however, to increase the
lax on beer has been .made and is
received with very general favor.
The American Grocer says:
“In 18U4 this country produced
33,362,873 barrels of beer, which
paid an internal revenue ot $1 per
barrel of thirty-one gallons, or about
one-fifth of a cent per half-pint glass
This, as has been shown by H ui.
David A. Weills, could be doubled
without increasing the price of beer
to the consumer or being oppressive
to trewers or dealers. This would
yield over 33,000,000 additional
revenue.”
The same paper calls attention to
the fact that liv restoring the tobacco
tax of bSBfl $50,000,000 would be
added to the government’s teveiiue.
It. wall be seen that the failure to
realize tne $30, 000,000 which was
expected from the income tax does
not present any serious difficulty.
All,the additional revenue the gov-
I eminent may need can be raised
easillv by a slightly increased tax on
beer and tobacco, a tax which no
individual would led. Hut as we
said before, the income of the gov
ernment under the present schedules
will in all probability be sufficient to
meet all the requirements of the
govermnenment. —Atlanta Journal.
What the country is in need of at
the present time is more men to see
and point out the good there is in
the world, and fewer to he continu
ally harping about the terrible con
dition of the country. It is the man
who attends to his business that
prospers nowadays, calamity howlers
to the contrary notwithstanding and
the individual who spends his time
in speculating in regard to some leg
islative enactment which m his vis
ion, would bring him wealth without
effort, must soon or late como to re
alize the futility of his theories.—

Discussion is necessary whenever
it is desirable to establish tils preiui
ises from which conclusions are
formed, but discussion falls short of
its purpose when the viewo of the
| other fellow arc treated as the vapor-
ings of an ignorant mind, the servile
opinions of a hireling, or the convic
tions of a man whose desire for per
sonal gain is greater than his honesty.
According to careful estimates,
throe hours of close study wear out

There are people who are enev
clopedeins of everything that should
be forgotten.
Only ten ol the States of the Un

United States ill the last 50 years,

The States most favored in this re

In these days, say:; the Press, when
a storekeeper sends a bill to a custo
mer lie may niaik it “please remit at

write a letter, he will put into it some
plain language. J Jut nere :s the way
our forefathers wrote, in the good old
days when the silver dollar was the
unit and the hard cider was the na
tional drink. The Utica Observer
actually revamps this "dunning note”
from the records of tho Mohawk vd
ley in New Volk:
“Whites Town, 16 June 1798. Hon

Let Us Be Thankful.
In this delightful climate we seldom
have such warm weather ns tl a*, now
upon us. Therefore wo are apt to
eomidain at the visitation. Nobody
will contend that the past two days
have been agreeable in Atlanta, hut
when we consider the atmospheric
condition of other cities we should be
thankful.
Yesteiday seventeen people were
prostrated by heat in Philadelphia,
and sunstrokes are reported from
several other cities. Sunstrokes arc
unknown in Atlanta. Not a single
person has been prostrated by the
heat here this summer. (>ur var 1 cs'

makes life a burden in most other
cities. The nights always bring rest
During the entire summer we will

The cause of rheumatism is lactic
acid in the blood, which accumulates
in the joints, and gives the victim such
dreadful pains and aches. Hood's Sar

the blood and thus cures rheumatism.

ot lumbago or muscular rheumatism.
