day nights pletely closed OUT the
peach crop prospect ia this section.
AS far as we can learn but few have
escaped The clover crop was injured,
and it il feared that the early wheat
has been damaged-the apple and
other fruit crops, If not entirely de-
stroyed, have been more or less injured.
About the only chance left for fruit is

According to the recollections OF the
oldest inhabitants, last Saturday aud
Sunday were the coolest days we have
ever had in this country atthis season
of the year. Fruit of all kinds has been
"nipped in the bud" Early vegeta.
bles have been badly damaged, aud it
is feared by many of the farmers from
the country that the growing wheat
crop is seriously damaged. This ex-
tremely cold spell has been general.
1t extended into Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, and over all the Northern,
Eastern and Western States. Jones'

The weather for a few days last week
and one or two days this week has been
remarkably COLI, killing peaches, APP

L is thought the cold snap of last
week seriously damaged this section.
Early garden plants are badly cooked,
the peaches all killed, and more than
halfof the apples. Similar Information
reaches Us from al objections. We d.
not believe wheat j. seriously hurt,
though some Of the more forward fields
may be damaged. A few days will
tell. The cold snap Is preCedeuted
in this latitude So late in the season,
and furnishes "a splendid opportunity
for the crOakers, who already see gaunt
wait and eNhmbitant prices la the
near future. We calculate with Ger.
