GEORGIA FRUITS GONE; PRICES OP California Pears. Grapes, and Plums Reach Local Market. No Change in Meats. Other produce than that familiar to frequenters of Atlanta’s market section is now being spread on display counters and is causing housekeepers” to draw more heavily on their grocery sums. California fruits have appeared, tak ing the place of the Georgia product, and the prices are materially advanced. But few cars of the Western fruits have reached Atlanta. The dealers, finding the demand good, are selling a dozen pears for 4Q cents, a basket of grapes for 80 cents or a dozen Jap anese plums for 20 cents. Since the Georgia fruits began to dis appear from city markets a few days ago the demand for that of the West has grown, and today, with little of the home grown produce on hand, the deal ers are rapidly stocking with the high er priced kind. The varieties of vegetables handled by local produce merchants s have remained generally at the figures of a week ago. Though the supply In some eases has decreased, the demand also has fallen. This has been probably the first week of the year that some change in the retail prices of meats has not been felt. • Cuts, steaks and chops today are at the same figure is they were Monday morn inc SUBURB NOW OVERRUN BY SNAKES AND OWLS t’INTTNKATI, OHIO.

The gathering was addressed by C. A. 1 Brannon. M. F. Buchanan, Charles D. McKinney and Thomas B. Goodwin. All of the speeches were along the ti mil line of Mr Alexander's campaign addresses, cards and promulgations. Georgia was declared to be in a state of anarchy; the “bosses" were alleged to be ruling while the people weep; the newspapers were viewed with alarm ami resolved to be In a diabolical league against Mr. Alexander, and Slaton's ampaign was declared to be tn the hands of the "big interests." Nothing much, one way or the other, seemed to be thought of Joe Hill Hall, and his campaign was scarcely men tioned at all.
