Mr.. John D. Cunningham received a
letter last week from a prominent fruit
dealer in Louisville. KY, enquiring about
the prospect of fruit in this section. de
said: II hope you will have good fruit
year, as we prefer, and SO does the trade,
the peaches raised in your section than
those raised at Fort Valley, as they are
superior in quality" This is very en-
couragng, and shows that our North Geor-
gia section is better adapted to raising
peaches than lower Georgia. We trust to
see our people devote more attention to
the culture of peaches than ever. There
is money in it, and there is no better cli~
mate or soil than Cobb county for the pur-
pose.

plleted will be the finest dwelling in the
city.
