This week hriug to close one of
the most I crop of peaches ever
grown in hAS vicinity. 1t has been a
very improbable crop to the growers, at
least, so they say. Prices have ranged
very low, but it seems as if they might
take prices offered here to ship, as they
brought no better returns when shipped
There were quite a number of buyers here
purchasing for different markets, but it
seems as if they had formed a combina-
ton, or at least this has been cluimed by
the seller. We are sorry to say, however,
some of our people associated themselves
with the foreign buyers and managed to

get them to bid. The grower of peaches
should not soon forget some of the tricks
of our enterprising citizens, and in the
future see that their dollars are spent

crop. They are now engaged
in manufacturing their brace basket
