a writer from Pomona to the Griffin Call
says: " One million three hundred thousand
pounds Of fruit, over 10000 baskets
shipped, S5c, QUO clear Of all expenses, $lO,-
OOO paid IN wages to the working people
These are few facts that are staring us in
the face, and they represent the seasons
output of an industry that has risen ia less

small district" What Pomona has done ID
this respect can be done by our people.
There Is a firm in Chicago says the La
Grange Graphic which proposes to put up
a creamery aud cheese factory at points in
the south where they can form cooperative
companies and be assured Of the product of
300 cows or more. We know Of no better
place in the country than right here in La
Grange for such an enterprise. Bermuda
pastures have become the fashion with our
farmers, aud they are beginning to appre-
ciate fully the benefits of stock raising and
the keeping of good COWS. An enterprise
like this mentioned would furnish a good
market for all the milk that could be pro-
duced here, and would stimulate the stock
Industry as nothing elss would, for it would
Insure big profit on every cow kept.

IS lower than that of the Sam and the East
Tennessee to Brunswick. Edwin Fitzger-
aid, traffic manager of the East Tennessee.

case the commission ordered the Sam and
the East Tennessee to give Brunswick the
same rate that is given to Savannah. The
question OF a new depot at Hobokep. on the
Brunswick and w estern, was taken IN. but
no decision was rendered. The commission
will take up next month the refusal of the
roads to run into Albany's new depot.
