{. B. Stevenson was on Saturday last SEN
rsnced TO hang for the crime Of the murder of

The managers Of the weekly Campus, a
iagrnal published at the University Of Athens
br the students Of the University, announce
that on the 18th OF the month and monthly
hereafter, they win issue q twenty page
magazine. This step is taken in order to OBJ
siate the likeness between tue two rival
weekly journals the Campus and the CBiger-
an. Reporter now published. We wish the
Dew venture a success and we really see no
reason why, at the acknowledged seat Of let
fsrs Of Georgia, 4 literary magazine of the
sf-t class could not and should not be sus-
r-iaed 10 Illustrate and typifY the value OF the

Nr ~. ". Woodruff Jr., one OF the largest
,-avers Of fruit in Georgia, reports To the
grHu Es1cs that the fruit at Vineyard. in
srslding county, and centre OF the peach belt.
ras very little injured by the recent cold spell.
re SAYS that the peaches are as big AS the end
e bis huger, and only few on the low lands
are killed. As there are a good many high
Ind orchards in the county. the prospects are
..fl good for fair crop. This report Offsets
ne news recently published in the same pa
.s- that the peach crop had been almost
u,aIy destroyed. The pear, grape and other
,r-it crops are al right.
