THE FRUIT BUSINESS.
Thousands of Peach Trees Will
Be Set Out This Winter.
The interest in peach growing is
increasing steadily and the proba
bilities now are that many trees be
planted this winter.
There is, undoubtedly, consid
erable areas of ridge land in this
county on which peaches, will suc
ceed admirably. One of the first
requisites of success is in securing
elevated lands that are practical
ly free from frosts, otherwise time,
labor and money will be thrown a
way.
Experienced fruit growers say
that to insure success enough of
one variety of fruit, that will all
ripen at once, must be grown in a
community s» that it may be
shipped in car load lots, thus ob
taining the 'owest possible freight
■—-rates.
Judge Bellah will plant about
50 acres in peach trees this winter
if all the land can be got ready in
time.
About 6,000 or 7,01 0 trees will also
be planted on the Hinton farm
near Holland.
Mr. T. J. Foster, near Taliaferro,
is very much interested in the
fruit business, and will probably
plant a large number of trees
soon.
Mr. Joe Hassell has bought a
bout 6,000 trees and Messrs E.
Montgomery, A. T. Powell, J. W.
Wyatt, and others at Raccoon
mills will put out about 10,000
trees.
It is reported that a large number
of trees will be planted this win
ter near Menlo. Beside fruit trees
it is estimated that 300 acres will be
planted in strawberries in the same
vicinity.
Mr. M. S Leigh, the berry grow
er of Summerville, intends to
plant about ten acres in strawber
ries.
Altogether the fruit business is
taking proportions that if success
ful, will in a very few years bring !
nwpiy thousands of dollars in the
coii’uty at a time of year that it is
most needed; besides lands that

A General Meeting.
Pleasant Grove Baptist church
and community, with their usual
abundant hospitality, entertained
delegates and visitors to the “Fifth
Sunday Meeting” of the Chattooga
Association, Oct 30 and 31.
Happy spirited welcome, baskets
filled to their utmost with various
good things, splendid music and in
teresting discussions, all taken to
gether made this occassion a mem
orable one.
Earnest sermons were preached
by Rev. —Ratliff at 11 a. m. Satur
day and Rev. J. M. Smith in the
evening. An able discourse on
“For What Is the Church Organ
ized?” was delivered by J.H. Glaz
ner and was heartily indorsed. The
subject “The Duty of the Church
o the Pastor” brought forth time
ly talks from Messrs J. P. Doster,
J. W. Pitts, —Baker, J. R. Doster
and J. G. Hunt. The discussion
of “Sunday School Mission Work”
was led by Mr. J. W. McWhorter
and was handled in a splendid, im
pressive manner. The sermon at
11 a. m. Sunday was preached by
Rev. J. G. Hunt, whose subject was
that assigned him for discussion,
“The Evidences of Spiritual Life.”
His text was was, “But if the gos
pel be hid, it is hid to them that
are lost.” His efforts made a pro
found impression, as was shown by
earnest attention and then by the
response with eager, cheerful drop
ping of contributions into hats at
the close of the sermon.
The next meeting of this kind
will be held with Sardis church the
fifth Sunday in January 1898.

Benediction.
The south now absorbs with its
own machinery more than one
third of the entire cotton consump
tion of America. The total takings
by southern spinners in 1896- 97
w r ere 1,042,671 bales, against 1,804,
680 bales consumed by our North
ern spinners, out of a total crop of
8,757, 964 bales. It is clear that
our wide-awake New’England man
ufacturers have not overestimated
the formidable character of south
ern competition.—Boston Journal.

Young Peoples Meeting.
While the meeting every Tues
day night at the Baptist church is
especially for the young people, yet
the older people are always welcome
not only to enjoy the service but
always to take part. It is thought
much good has already been accom
plished. On Tuesday night of last
w’eek there, was as usual, good at
tendance. The subject was “What
Can I Do?” on which the pastor
J. G. Hunt, made a stirring talk at
the opening and then closed with
a practical application of the lead
ing thoughts brought out in the
service. Earnest talks were also
made by J. W. Pitts and W. B.
Sparks; and appropriate papers
were read by Misses Mollie Rich
Maud Sewell, and Ellen Pitts.
Let all who will, come, do good
and be benefitted.
