recommended that the chief of the depart.
ment and the driver be summoned and that
the same be investigated, and would ask
that the duties ofengineers and drivers ana
all the employees OF the city with the fire
department be defined. The report was
adopted.
AT this juncture someone suggested they
adjourn, when Alderman Tillman who was
evidently inclined to be hilarious remarked
that he supposed the HERALD reporter
would publish that they bad cost the city
SA more. In his generosity here.
tofore the reporter was too chart

burned at these extra meetings at the eA.
pense Of the city.
E. f. Doyle. contractor, was allowed an
account Of 81 ,43l,37 for laying drainage
pipe on Elm street.
The secretary stated that the time for
opening sealed bids for lighting the city for
the following year had expired, and that he
had a sealed bid from the Dallas Electric
Lighting company, which was the only
one. Some Of the aldermen suggested
that the gas company would be
bidder. The mayor said
the bids had been duly advertised
for and that the time was up and added
that il the council did not look out the city
would be sued some time for this care

then by vote extended to the first Tues

HERALD in bidding for the city printing,

granted leave of abgtn,e of 30.days

The city solons then adjourned to meet

rival has sprung up, one that had not been

and growing fruits and vegetables, without

Atlanta recently there was q convention of
Georgia fruit growers, and their testimony

lies this year for the eastern markets, and
as high as 800 an acre has been made
from them. Peaches are successful TO q
miracle. Three years ago when frost spoiled
the harvest in Delaware and Maryland,
eastern dealers came to Geoigi and bought
up peach crops. The farmers Of Georgia
had the ssgacity to see what source OF
wealth was within their grasp, and peach
orchards were laid out In abundance. The

fore the eastern peaches are ripe, so the
demand is ample and the best prices are
obtained. In other early vegetables and
fruits there is similar success, and as the
profit gained BY one stimulates others the
garden trade Is rivaling cotton planting,
which to both the grower in his safes and
the railroads in their freight, pays better
than cotton. The gardeners do not lear
any loss of profits, or that the business Will
