Bishop Wtlson, who has just re

Georgia Fruit Rotting Badly,
Atlanta, Ga;, Jbne 18.—Accor
ding to State Entomologist Scott,
peaches in south and middle Geor
gia are rotting very fast as a re
sult of excessive ram for the past
three weeks.
Assistant Commissioner of Ag
riculture Wright said: “We have
received reports from every coun
ty in the state and the peach crop
is said to be nearly ruined. Not
only is the peach crop in poor con
dition, but cotton, melons and
cantaloupes are also in bad shape.
Lice has invested the cotton, and
the heavy rains have caused
it to turn yellow. The outlook
now is the worst seen in Georgia in
a number of years.’ -

In 1889 the republican party
nominated ex-Governor Pingree
fer mayor of Detroit, and he was
elected by over 2,000 majority.

increased majorities each time.

as governor of Michigan by ,83,000

The Albany Herald makes a
good point when it declares that
Senator McLaurin is doing a lot of
talking to newspaper reporters for

The Darien Gazette declares
that south Georgia has plenty of
excellent men who would make a
good governor, but reminds the
many aspirants that only one at a
time can be elected.
A New Arrival.
The appearance on our streets of
Shetland ponies is very noticeable.
Within the last three or four months
something like six or eight of these
tiny representatives of horse flesh have
been brought to our city. Almost ev
ery afternoon the youthful owners may
be seen riding together, each mounted
on a splendid specimen of these ponies.
It is a treat to see how these tots en
joy themselves, and how lovingly they
handle their mounts. The Candler
Horse Guards will have to hustle to
put up as good an appearance as these
young equestrians.
