FRUIT AND THE FREEZE.
Opinions Differ as to the Effects in

Opinions Differ as to the Effects in
Spalding County.
GRIFFIN, GA, March 1S-This is hard
weather on fruit, and il may be all killed
before 1t is over. Indeed some consider il
killed already, while not few are heard &c
say it never gets killed in March. Still
others say the peaches bloomed in moonlight
nights, and they never knew fruit killed
when the blooms came by the light of the
moon. The fruit industry in this section
has assumed such proportions that the crop
is looked for ward to by all as OF almost
equal Importance TO the fall har-
vesting OF the cotton crop SO
far as its money value is
concerned. Early this morning ice
begun to form, the ground was freezing
fast, and all gave up hope. Later it was
showing, and for a time It looked as If we
were to have a snow storm. In order to
get at the situation the NEWS correspondent
sought interviews with several gentlemen
in regard to the present conditions and
prospects Of the crop.
w. H. Powell is positive it is all killed
and tlat early vegetables are in like fix.
He says the peach blossoms were full Of wa
ter and it froze in them, thereby destroying
the germ.
DIR. r. A. Mcdonald held different
view, stating that peaches were never all
killed in March or when they were 10
bloom. He cites last years experience to
prove his theory. w hen the freeze came
then the frnit was further advanced than
now.
Col F. NJ. Ison says fruit is never killed
when the trees bloom on moonlight nights.
He says that on April 81, 1886, there was q
heavy freeze, followed by sleet. but the fruit
wa nd hot fha htonnau I,..
the light nights. and therefore we may ex-
pect fruit this year.
H. W. Hssselkus says 80 far it is his
opinion that the crop is safe. What will
come later if this spell continues he does not
know. but he is sanguine now of a crop.
Tonight the ground is frozen stiff, and
the indications are that by morning we will
find ourselves back into the hearto winter.

THE sILvER-DoLLAa WOMAN.
Cell for a Permanent Type of Beauty
for Our Coinage.


From the Boston Herald.
The new coins showing Miss Anna l..
Williams pretty profile as Liberty are an
improvement on the "cash" which has worn
out our pocket books for so many years, but
there is still something 10 be desired Be-
fore the lines Of this new Liberty are quite
obliteratei by circulation, would it not be
well for the designers and officials who look
after the coinage of this young country Just
TO decide on a model for beauty, have her
idealized, and then cast the die for all timer
Although issWilhams is doubtless hand
some woman, there was no good
reason why the designer should
have perpetrated her with swollen
jaw, and sent her down to posterity
as she appears on the new half
dollar, for instance. The Greco-American
type is a divine mingling of the classic and
affectionate, but perfect regularity of
feature as illustrated by Greek art, is not
lovely in the latter sense. save in one soil
tary instance-the Venus Of Milo, who has
profile the world loves to kiss. The other
day chance brought me in a prosaio
electric car beside girl whose profile
was the most beautiful example of
piQuant delicacy and regularity
possible to, conceive. Chances we're
stolen at her from time to time, and the
artistic spirit which animated even the
average Bostonian had begun 70 boil with
admiration. when just at that moment
she turned her front face and the ideal
vision melted into thin hair. She was &C
tually ordinary. A sculptor could have
told what was the matter with the propor-
tions, but it only proved TO the layman's
mind that this thing we call beauty exists
merely IN fractions, and that the
perfect whole Is but dream
of genius after supping full on many
models. Nevertheless, could this lovely pro-
file. which is a possession in itself, be given
to the designers of our American Liberty.
what boon it would be to spendthrifts
Instead of parting with their "change" it
might then be saved for the sake of the girl
who adorned 1t.

GRIFFIN, GA. March 1s.-"Rev. James
OHara" was a name handed in at prom
inent boarding house here by a servant
about three weeks ago. The reverend gen
tleman wanted to engage board for a few
months. His title was his only reference,
but It secured him admission. He was very
quiet at first, talking but little 60 any one,
but on making the acquaintance ot the
boarders be began to unfOld a scheme which
be had in his head to establish 6 normal
school for Griffin. He could command any
amount of money for this purpose in the
north, and reslizing the necessity OF such
an institution in this city he
would abe only too glad to lend
his influence in this direction for Griffin's
good. Matters went on this way for q
few days until another boarder arrived and
engaged board at the same house, The Rev.
OHara and this new boarder knew each
other, but neither knew Of the other's pre-
sence in Griffin until they met in the Idining
room at supper. Both were astonished and
O'Hara was very much confused and en-
barrassed at meeting Charles s. Swick, a
gentleman whom he left in Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. only few days
before. O'Hara's embarrassment was
noticeable TO the other boarders, and after
reverend gentleman had been recently
forced to flee the wrath of an indignant
public there. He was an impostor aud a
deep-dyed villain, and seeing that he was at
his end in this house he looked up another
boarding house, where he had the same
scheme on foot-a normal school for Grit
fin. In his new home he seemed secure
from detection, and doubtless would have
eaten several more meals off his new
landlady had not his presence
there been detected. He was given only a
few hours, by crowd OF determined young
men, in which to shake the dust Of this city
from his feet. Receiving their words of
warning Thursday morning, and deeming
discretion the better part Of valor, he hit
the grit In due and ancient form between
breakfast and dinner. After his de-
parture his room was searched, and
in it was found an empty
grip, hymn book and a common prayer
book. OHara is represented as being a
man Of some education, a pretty slick
talker, telling frequently of his extensive
travels in this and other countries. He is
rather low of stature, has thin, wan features
and a smooth face. except a slight mus.
tache. Apparently he is about % years old.

GAINESVILLE, FLA, March 1S.-The
orange trees are not putting on their usual
quantity of bloom, and the growers say it is
because they bloomed SO heavily last year
but it would seem to be more the result Of
