Of a valuable new enterprise at
Fort Valley,, the Enterprisesays:
“The Port Valley flour and roll-
mill building, which is being
erected just aoross the railroad
from the Harris house, is rapidly
nearing completion.
“The building will be over fifty
feet high and the most modern
machinery will be installed tfiere-
‘ overhead there will be an ele-
m
vator with a capacity of 12,000
bushels of wheat, or 720,000
pounds.
This new industry will be of
incalculable good to Port Valley,
as the farmers from all adjacent
counties wiil bring their wheat tQ
be ground and while here will nat
urally do much trading.
“The promoters of this enter
prise will also have purchasing
agents in all the nearby towns
who will pay the highest ifcarket
price for wheat—thus encouraging
the planting of this necessary
commodity. ’
—The business men of Macon
anticipate a large cotton crop in
Houston county, and the ware
housemen will be ready to handle
it. Of these, the firm of W. A.
Davis & Co. are especially well
known to Houston farmers. Their
reputation is decidedly good, and
the service th^y have performed
entitles them -to a full share of
patronage. Their advertisement
appears in the Home Journal, this
week. Read it, and remember
they give striotly first-class ser
vice.
Pleased With Houston.
—Work is progressing on the

00o, A. J. Evans, president, will

15th. The Valley Flour mill,
with Mr. W. H. Harris i^resident
of the company, is being pushed
to completion, with the hope of

gust 15th.
The Port Valley correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution writes
as follows of a Missouri owner of
fruit orchards in Houston county:
“Hon. John G. McNair, of Mis
souri, who purchased the large
fruit orohards of the Deitzen Bros
at this place last year, and who
appears this season for the first
time as a grower and shipper of
peaches from Fort Valley, is cap
tivated with this section as a fruit
producing one.
“He sent several of his skilled
foreman assistant to superintend
ents to Arkansas yesterday, where
he has hundreds of aores in or
chards, as well as Missouri, to
begin organizing their force of
gatherers and packers, preparato
ry to handling the crop there
which follows close behind this
season.
“So favorably has Mr. McNair
been impressed that this immedi
ate vicinity is verily and truly the
paradise of the peach, that he
now engaged in ( obtaining more
land to plant out; in trees.”
—A wagon is an essential part
of the equipment of every farm,
and a good wagon is the only kind
a farmer, or anybody else, ought
to buy. Heard Bros., the well-
known -cotton faotors of Macon,
are selling good wagons at correct
prices. See their advertisement
in this paper.
—Mr. J. A. Evans,.for 40 years
a resident of Fort Valley, died at
his home there last Sunday after
noon at 5 o’clock after a lingering
illness. He was 75 years old, and
for many years was engaged in
the mercantile business. He was
an honest, upright citizen,and his
loss is greatly, regretted. He leaves
a wife, daughter, Miss Jennie, and
three sous, Messrs. Will, J. A.
Jrv, and A. J. Evens. His re
mains were interred in Oak Lawn
cemetery Monday.—Cor.
—This crop of peaches being
the third in succession, and good
prices having so far been realized,
the fruit industry has received a
very considerable “boost.” Hun
dreds of thousands of trees will be
“set out” in Houston next sea
son.
