G. H. fliller Buys Kincaid
Mountain in Chat
tooga County.
HUNDREDS ACRES IN FRUIT.
Will Plant One of the Biggest Or
chards in Georgia—Spur and
' Incline Railway to- be
Built to Reach it.
Mr. G. H. Miller, the East Rome
nurseryman, has purchased Kin
caid mountain in Chattooga coun
ty,, says the Rome Tribune.
Kincaid mountain is a very high
pleateau of several hundred acres
in extent just over the Floyd coun
ty line, and with Holland’s on the
Chattanooga, Rome & Southern as
the nearest railroad point.
A big force of hands has been
placed at work clearing this pur
chase, and putting it in a condi
tion to be planted in peach trees.
Mr. Miller will plaut several
hundred acres of this mountain in
peaches. There will be from half
to throe-quarters of a million of
trees in the orchard, making it
one among the largest in Georgia
which is rapidly becoming the
great peach growing ceuter of the
United States.
This plateau is particularly well
situated 'or the purpose to which
it will be devoted, and in a
few years will be one of the most
productive and valuable pieces of
property in all this section.
It is Mr. Mdler’s intention to
have a spur built from the C. R. &
S. main liue to the foot of the
mountain, au incline built from
there up to the summit.
Ry this method fruit can be
-packed ready for shipment right
•on the ground. It will go without
delay on the spur, thence to the
main line aud to the markets.
The peach raising industry is
growing in this section at a mar
velous rate, and in a few years
North Georgia will be shipping
hundreds upou hundreds of cars
to all parts of the country.

THE BRIDGES
CIVIL SUIT
Is Compromised by Bonds
men Paying SBOO.
TIME GIVEN TO PAY MONEY.
If Money Is Forthcoming in
Twelve Months SBOO Will
be Accepted.
A dispatch to the Constitution
from Rome says that a compro
mise has been reached in the civil
Buits of the county school board
against W. M. Bridges and his
bondsmsn to recover the amount
of shortage due the city of Rome.
Bridges aud John M. Vandiver
and C. T. Clements, two of the
bondsmen, are to pay SBOO within
twelve months or secure it in some
way. If not paid then, they must
pay $1,500; SIOO has been paid.
The attempt to hold K. P. Price
liable as one of the bondsmen was
not sustained by the court. A re
markable feature of the compro
mise is a clause setting forth that
the settlement was not to be con
strued as prejudicial to any other
case pending in the courts against
Bridges. Neither is it to be taken
as an admission of any crimnal
neglect or wrong on his part. There
are five crimnal indictments
against him-

two feet deep this morning and
snowing hard. The mercury was ,
15 degrees below there. The loss
of cattle along the line of tho rail

of the trains on the Fort Worth

doned. Farmers in tho Pan Han

has beon killed. The loss to grain

reach an euormous sum. There

sparsely settled districts, and it is
regarded as a certainty that many

The hog is most profitable as a

lifts the mortgages in the North

with the cow, he will redeem the
worn-out cotton and tobacco fields
of the south. No agricultural peo
ple thrive who buy grain or meats
aud pay for them with the price of
