—Much apprehension concern
ing the fruit crop was caused by
the high wind last Monday night
and the ice and frozen ground
Tuesday morning. However, it is
declared that peaohes are rarely
killed when in full bloom, or in
the partly opened bud. All the
peaohes being in one condition or
the other, those who ought to
know from careful observation,
are very hopeful that' compara
tively small damage to the crop
will result from this freeze. More
over, it is believed the blooming
has been sufficiently checked to
fore-stall “tiny futner cold that
may come about the full moon
period. There are other opinions,
* however, and this writer don’t
know which is correct. , 1 ,
;■■■■■ . • v
Day by day evidence is accu
mulating that the present method
of working the public roads of the
County will not prove satisfac
tory to the farmers, and upon the
farmers the entire burden rests.
Conditions that render imme
diate road work imperative, also
makes urgent the need of work on
the farms. If the roads are not
worked promptly, the thorough
fares are in bad condition, and
those who must use them suffer
inconvenience and discomfort. If
the necessary work on the roads is
done without intermission, the
farms suffer for the lack of work.
Scarcely at any time during the
year can any farm do well with
out work 6 consecutive days when
the weather is suitable for farm
work, and generally the time
choBen to work the roads is the
time when work is urgently need
ed on the farms.
The Commissioners say, we are
informed, that the law leaves
them without discretion, and
money cannot be accepted in place
of work.
That the county roads were
greatly benefited by the oliaiu-
gang work is a fact known to all.
The question of expense is a dif
ferent thing, though we are frank
to say we believe the improvement
is worth its coBt.
The chain-gang cannot again be
used until May 1908, as all Hous
ton convicts are hired by contract
until that time.
The alternative road law can be
re-established by the next grand
jury, if they so desire.' Let the
jurors investigate the situation,
and the provisions of the law.

Death at Fort Valley.
Mr. Roy Peddioord, second sou
of Postmaster W. Peddicord, died
last Thusday at the home of his
father in Fort Valley.
He had been ill with pneumo
nia nine days.
He was a most exemplary young
mail, about 19 years of age, and
at the time of his death was as
sistant postmaster at Fort Valley.
Prior to the removal to Fort
Valley from near Perry, Roy Ped
dicord was a printer in the Home

We found him, ever trust-worthy,
faithful to duty, intelligent, ener-
getio and correct in his deport
ment.
About a week prior to the death
of this worthy young m,an, his
step-mother died from the same
disease.
This bereavement is doubly
sore to father, brothers and sis
rers, following so closely the oth
er, and the sinoere sympathy of
their friends is with them-.
