ed throughout the state, and from every
section comes the report that the peach
crop gives promise Of being one of the
best and largest crops ever made in the
state.
In fact, all fruits are doing well. with
the exception OF apples. and they will be
very scarce

ginning TO riren. and the prospects are
that they viii be in great profusion this
year.
The cotton crop is improving. and wheat
ana oats are in excellent condition
throughout the state. Altogether. the crop
outlook for the state may be said to be
most favorable.
The report says: During the early part
OF the past week the temperature was a
little low. and vegetation made slow pro
gress. Showers Partially distributed fell
on several days, and did much good, but
general rains are badly needed.
The warm weather during the last half

cotton. rorn is improving. but is trouble
ny cut worms.
Blackberres and strawberries are be-
ginning 10 ripen. good many of the lat
ter are on the market
Where the season permitted, a good
many cabbage and sweet potato plants
were cot.
In the eastern counties farmers have
progressed well with their work. and most
crops show Improvement since the last
report. Very little rain has fallen during
the week, and good seasonal showers would
be of great benefit Corn is about al
planted; some is up and being worked.
Some cotton is being worked but the
stands are generally bad. Peaches con-
tinue to drop from the trees, but the out
look is still favorable for a good crop.
Plenty of sunshine and very little rain

week. General Improvement is noted in
nearly all crops. Corn is growing nicely
and farmers generally are we'll up with
their work. Cotton is looking well, having

father cast her off, and she came to At

Efforts were made by the friends with
whom she was staying here to get her
people to take her back home, but after
answering the first letter saying she was
an outcast forever, her father declined to
correspond even with the Atlanta people.
Later the girl found her way to the
Florence Crittenden Home, and while
there her mind gave way completely Ply
sicians pronounced her a hopeless mental
wreck, and upon this she was ordered to
the asylum to-day. The unfortunate girl
