GOING INTO FRUIT.
! The farmers in this section bought a great
many fruit trees during the winter. The
! scuppernong grape fiourishes in this section
| and large vineyards are to be seen in every
community. The LeConte,pear is success
| fully grown here The soil is especially
adapted to the growing of fine and luscious
peaches. Plums and apples grown here are
of superior quality. There is always a
| demand for fruits of all kinds in this place,
and when the canning factory is put in
operation the demand will be greater.
There is a remarkable we'll on J. G.
Clough's place on Church street. For sew
| eral years close observation has brought to
| light strange freak in the nature of the
we'll. When it rains the water does not
rise and when all the other wells in the COM
munity are nearly dry IN the summer the
water in this well does not fall.
The hight of the water does not vary an
inch during the whole year. If other wells
! are overlooking it does not affect this one in
the least. There is no better water in the
place, and no reason has yet been given for
its strange action.

this place last year. some one said that
there is talk OF removing the tax on dogs.
/ This caused further discussion Of the sub
| ject. 1t was decided that il there is dog
! tax, it should be collected in every instance
An agricultural fair is what Ware
/. county needs" That is what farmer said
to a merchant to-day. The farmers of the
/ county are anxious TO exhibit their products
and they realize that it will be a great ad-
vertisement for their lands to make a good
exhibit at the fair. The merchants and
business men of every profession should join
4 the farmers in the movement to have an
Il agricultural fair in this city next fall.
Action should be taken in the matter at
once. No county in South Georgia can
make a more creditable exhibit than Ware.
The fair will benefit the merchants and
