TUTIEEIGAN drifted Into the rqp.-h
--!•**■* house on it Friday afternoon, an
nounced that he tvas a new hand,, and
inicmlMl to oeetipy an empty bcuk.
The boys sized Milligan up for a while
without saying much. He was a big
jgish, fair-haired young feller with a
w*«t In ono eye, and lie hadn't much
iBo say for himself.
Soon the I toys begun Joshing him
yen Ho-1 Ike. They saw he stood for
that, ami they Joshed him harder.
“Say. was you ever on a cow ranch
•teforef” Inquired lllg Stud Egan, who
wt« the hardest nut ever uncracked In
Abe Kur E on I lit.
"Can't say as i was," drawled Mil
fctgun.
"We'll leant you to be n cowman,”
•ays Itlg .Stud. “Well put you <>n
Shiner tomorrow niornln’."
Now Whiner was the natne given
so tlie orneriest cayuse In tlie suddle
•ttock corral. There wasn't a mean
Itrlek Whiner didn't know, nor there
wasn't u man had ever sat on him
tuiore'n a minute. Way he got hla
name was from the squeals he'd emit
when he was burking.
Next niornln’ Whiner wns brought
•nin. He’d stand quiet as a lamb and
let you gentle him. Just wultlng till
jou got your leg across the saddle.
“Hop up, Milligan,” says Dig Stud.
iAnd the (toys stood around huighli:'.
Miss May, the owner’s daughter,
vtood around too. She wns a tine gel;
mil the cow-punchers was In love with
«her, me included, hut uat'rally she
wouldn't have nothing to do with our
kind. Still, she liked a hit of fun, like
what was being planned now.
"Hop up, Milligan,” says lllg Stud,
grinning.
Milligan gets Ills leg Across tlie sad
dle In ii workmanlike way, and
Whiner starts in. The hoys, of course.
Book to ms- Milligan go sailin' over tlie
•corrnfl feme.
Did *eV Not he. Five minutes Inter
(he was cantering Whiner round the
-corral amid a stiipetied sllenro.
ißul that live minutes had been the
Ihnskewt. Whiner 'd ever experloncdk
or the hoys had ever seen. What Mil
ligan didn't do to Whiner ain't worth
tiryitig to tetl. I never see a pony get
rthe spirit taken out of him so quick
as Wbtaer did.
Ml Mllllgiin selling there as cool
Ice, mid laughing.
When lie gets down Miss May steps
ti|i him. ”1 think that’s perfectly
a-pleadM,” she said. “It's the finest
•Vat of horsemanship I’ve ever seen,
stnd you iniisi come on up to the house
;and have a chat with father. He'll be
ttlcMed to death when he hears of It.”
Tickled to death 1 I guess we was
•tickled to dc.-Hli to see Miss May, who
(hadn't no use for us punchers, making
«ip to .Milligan Unit way. Hut Mllli
q>nn makes a sort of how.
"Thanks lady,” lie answers, "but I
Ain't what you might call a sassiety
no. in.”
Miss May goes red as fire, and slops
hack with a gasp. Milligan goes up
Co Hit; Sind.
"Thanks for learning me to he a

“Suy, what nre you?" he asks Mil-
Mgan. “East night I -took you for a

Sndhmantly.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA' RAILWAY TELLS
ABOUT THE GEORGIA PEACH - '
' »'•'
Georgia supplies the country with many products, but none is more worthy of widespread use and
general appreciation than the Georgia Peach. This is mid-season. Georgia peaches are unusually good
this year and are now at their best; large juicy and tasteful.
The Georgia Peach is healthful, appetizing and delicious. It is fine for eating at breakfast, dinner
and supper—and between meals. It is fine for canning, so you may enjoy its delightful flavor .the year a
round. It is an ideal dish, nourishing and health-giving. •
Modern transportation has made it possible for the whole country to enjoy this wonderful fruit. The
history of the peach industry illustrates the benefit of intelligent co-operation between grower and car
rier. The grower has studied propagation and scientific culture, resulting in a product that approaches
perfection. The railroads have developed proper refrigeration, ample car supply, and quick schedules to
distant markets. Production and transportation are two sides of a triangle. Distribution is the third es
senital factor. A high degree of efficiency has been reached by the Georgia Peach Growers Exchange
which functions in modern methods of distribution as well as in improving production.
•
It is a matter of pride to us that the Central of Georgia has had a large part in the development of
this pcaeh industry. Our primary duty is to provide adequate and dependable transportation for the cr
op. Georgia has not had a crop failure in 28 years, a record not equalled by any other peach growing W r *
ritory. Nor has there been a transportation failure on the part of the Central of Georgia in that period of
time. We recognize a second obligation that of providing every possible assistance to the grower, and our
Agricultural Department works hand in hand with the producer and Government and state agencies, for
the betterment of conditions.
The territory served by the Central of Georgia originates 80 per cent of the peaches grown in the
state. We have moved, to this date .approximately 2,000 cars and expect to handle, in the remainder es
the season, about 7,000 additional cars. The crop mov es to the principal cities of both east and west. A
high standard of service is maintained by our connections.
The Central of Georgia welcomes this opportunity to urge the people to buy and eat Georgia peaches.
It congratulates the industry upon the progress made from small beginnings, 41 years ago, to the pres
ent production which brings millions of dollars annually to the state.
The peach traffic moves in a short space of time. It requires icing facilities, advance arrangement
for car supply, and handling of a highly specialized nature. Our interest in the peach crop, therefore, is
not a selfish one. Our share of the revenue from the peach traffic is small because we handle peaches
only for short distances. We do, however, participate in whatever measure of success rewards the efforts
of the people in our territory.
We bespeak for the peach industry the continued co-operation of the public and we pledge our every
activity to its proper handling and to its further development.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
L. A. DOWNS,
President Central of Georgia Railway Company.
Savannah, Georgia, July 2, 1924.
