Many are taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities afforded to avoid the heat and dust
Of a crowded city during the heated term,
who have heretofore been going north. In
fact, what is said of Guyton will readily
apply to many OF Savannah's suburban re-
sorts.
The prominence given these towns during
the past two or three years was brought
about by the most excellent facilities at
forded home seekers by the liberal manage
ment of the Central railroad The man
agement have carefully surveyed the prem
ISIS and feel that a section of country pos
sessing so many advantages as this should
not be neglected, hence they have extended
to those seeking suburban homes all posi-
bic encouragement, and built handsome de-
pots along the line. The wisdom of this
course has been amply demonstrated by the
large increase in freight and local travel.

the view of ascertaining what kinds can
best be produced. He exhibited on the
shoofy train the other day a specimen of
our apricot plum, which for beauty. sizs
| and taste can hardly be, excelled Col.
Wright procured the tree from p J. Berck-
mans Of Augusta, who imported it from
China, and he is Of the opinion that it will
succeed well in bingham. He says also
that it Is all mistake to suppose that
| Edingham county cannot have as fine
peaches as in any section of Georgia. His
| experience shows that it can.
