Plenitude, like politics, makes strange bed-fellows—and it’s peaches and potatoes this month, according to G. C. Grif¬ fin, county administration offi¬ cer of the Agricultural Conser¬ vation Association. Southern states, he said, are producing this year the second largest peach crop in history, thus placing this luscious fruit in the same category with Irish potatoes as the most abundant food now on the local markets Mr. Griffin said the peach crop in nine other states bounded by and including Mississippi, Ten¬ nessee, Kentucky, and Virginia, this year totals 22,729,000 bush¬ els—second only to last year’s record-breaking crop of 23,666,- 000 bushels, and more than 85 per cent greater than the aver¬ age for the 10-year period of 1935-44. In Georgia, he said, this year’s peach production is estimated at 6.392.000 bushels, compared to 8.091.000 bushels last year, ■ac¬ cording to Bureau of Agricultu¬ ral Economics figures. “To move such a tremendous crop to market,” he said, “and to avoid any waste of such a valuable crop, will require the united cooperation of transpor¬ tation and marketing facilities, plus the help of consumers. Waste will inevitably result un¬ less peaches are given an in¬ creasingly important place in the summer diet.” He urged homemakers to take full advantage of the abundance of peaches during the next few weeks, and not only to make use of them in menu planning but in home canning operations. MRS. J. NELSON ROACH IS HOSTESS TO RISING FAWN WOMEN’S MISSIONARY UNION Mrs. J. Nelson Roach was host- ess to the Women’s Missionary Union of the Rising Fawn Bap¬ tist church at her home in Trenton Thursday afternoon, July 15.

APPRECIATES THE LIBRARY BOOKS To the Dade County Times: Please allow me space in your fine paper to thank those who made it possible for the people of our community get the Walk¬ er County library books during the school vacation.

I know what having these books has meant to my family, and I am sure they have been a pleasure and help to others also, and I think they all join me in a great big THANK YOU.

BAD WEATHER By Menchew Macbeth CHAPTER TWO She was tired. Her heart was heavy with worry and dread, of fighting against a cruel in¬ different world for a decent ex¬ istence. She thought of the crippled orphan she had come so far to help. She MUST find a job! She tried to stretch out on the hot sticky leather seat in the ladies’ waiting room and catch a nap but it was an im¬ possibility. Her stomach was so empty, her head in a drunk¬ en whirl! She looked up star¬ tled at the sound of a man’s footsteps and sat up in painful embarrassment as a train con¬ ductor came into the room. “Oh” he said, “It’s you.” “It’s awful hot, ain’t it?” she said hurriedly almost recoiling in horror when she felt his hand on her hair. “You’ve got mighty purty hair,” he said smiling. Found a job yet?” “No,” she answered suff¬ ering acutely in his presence half expecting him to order her out or report her to the police or worse still, to insult her. “Well,” he went on, “I just step¬ ped in here to see if we were leaving anyone,” then added as an afterthought, “if you’re still here Friday I’ll help you with a job. I know about everybody.” “I hope it’s not wrong for me to stay in here—” her voice wts low and sick. “Not at all!” he said heartily going out the door looking back over his shoulder he paused to say, “We are glad to help you!” and was gone. She would accept almost any job she thought miserably to be away from this waiting room when he returned. She didn’t even question her future but prayed God to see her safely through this nite—to let her get job tomorrow! Meanwhile the walking so furiously up and outside was shaking his trying to clear it of obsti¬ cobwebs that persisted in on—the nite shades fully shadowed the land as went back into the station eyes hunting about the huge room for the woman— was not there! He drew in long sharp breath of dismay, was gone! A feeling of haste filled him making feet want to run but he re¬ the impulse with diffi¬ and walked into the res¬ ,at the rear near the platform she was not a sickness filled his being was never kind to him she have left on the train pull¬ out! Automatically he Stumbled to the privacy of the rest room and took a long pull on the bottle he carried in his hip pock¬ et. It did not occur to him she would be in the ladies’ room. He walked back through the main room and beside the place where had been sitting, starring at the bench his glance wandered listlessly about his shoulders sagged as he went on toward its entrance as chance or fate would have it he passed the door to the ladies’ waiting room and saw the top of a brown head inside. It caused the blood to freeze in his veins. XTo W continued)] ImtoarT WILLIAM B. , GOLDEN William B. Golden, 68, of Sec¬ tion, Ala., Rt. 2, passed away late Tuesday night following a long illness.

Gates and children, Dale and Marie, have been vis¬ iting relatives in Lenoir City, Tenn., the past few days. Rev. and Mrs. J. Nelson Roach and Miss Rosalie Roach spent the week end in Knoxville, Tenn., with Rev. Roach’s father, J. N. Roach, Sr., who has been seriously ill. R. M. Thurman of Ooltewah, Tenn., was a guest of P. A. Gates last Sunday. Children Of Baptist Home Get Pet Pony It was almost like Christmas on the campus of the Georgia Baptist Children’s Home this week. There was excitement everywhere. A generous family in Atlanta sent to the Home a beautiful thoroughbred pony named Thunder. It did not take many minutes for the news to get around and for the pony to be surrounded by hundreds of little folk, eager to touch his shining coat, or to let him kiss their hands. He was hugged and petted by everybody that could get close enough. When told that nobody that weighed over 75 pounds could mount him, there was a scurry to the scales, and much concern on the part of those who found the scales showing them weighing above 75 pounds. What the Home will save by those going on diet to reduce will probably pay for the care of the pony. ^ McBryar Funeral ^ oirLe charge, •r, i The Quality is The Price is DOWN!
