spell'' did not close cut May, as was expected,
but we had steady rain and cool breeze all
day yesterday and last night, and it is cloudy
and damp this morning.
OF course this kind of weather is saving our
gardens from drought, and early vegetables
are in fine condition. When the weather is
hot, it is hot but only for a short time.
Farmers, however, complain that the cold
has injured cotton and some other CROPS and
they asking Vennor how soon we may look
for settled warm weather.
For a time our vegetable growers were
afraid to come into the city on account of
smallpox, and eggs, butter. milk, poultry,
etc ETC.. were rather scarce AS we are now
having but few cases Of smallpox and vacci-

peddlers have resumed their visits, much to
the relief of perplexsd housekeepers.
Work has at last been commenced on our
street pavement. and in few weeks Alabama
street will be laid with solid granite blocks

good work in due time, but only certain sec

provement of our main thoroughfares this
season.
The opening of the Young Mems Library nm
Sundays from till O'Clock p m. meets with

to keep up the interest in the religious work of
the association.
To say that the early peach crop of Georgia
this year is immense hardly covers the facts
it Is mammoth in its proportions. Capt. W. w.
Hubert, than whom the Southern Express
Company has no more active and efficient
agent says his Atlanta shipments almost over
whelm him. In fact, the rush of early fruit is
so largely in excess Of previous seasons that he
cannot give it all prompt transportation At
lanta is a sort of central point, and it is found
necessary to provide special trains or refriger-
ator cars for passenger trains in order to
promptly forward the enormous shipments of
our peach orchards.
