An expert peach grower says there is
only one way TO secure a good peach
crop with the Elbertas. The ground
must be plowed and fertilized in the
spring just the same as any crop. The
weeds must be kept out, from sapping
the moisture, otherwise you will have
inferior fruit, and the trees will die
out. Il fall and spring blowing is con-
sldered absolutely necessary. The
most successful peach growers in Tower
Georgia, at Adairsville and Chatta-
nooga, have adopted this method. Mr..
W. M. Mckenzie, of this place, uses
this method also, and his fruit has been
fine every year.
"A we'll known citizen who has dip
ped into local politics declares that the
man who has the longest purse gets the
office and that the candidate who has
no money to spend is sure of defeat.
This is bad enough but another man
says the situation is even worse. "A
man cannot secure an office without
spending as much, if notmore, than the
| office returns in the way of remunera-
| ton during long term of years.
Augusta Herald.
Then the citizens who are willing to
spend more money than they can get
back in honest salary and serve without
compensation, is very unselfish and pa
triotic. THE game is not worth the
candle" 1t is better to be plain cit
izen and earn your bread by the sweat
of your face

have your heavy clothes cleaned now

1t is said that there is beautiful
young lady in Marietta who cares moth
ing for the attention of young men
whatever and will not entertain a
! proposition of marriage. She is the
one to be won, boys. She is probably
the only one of such decision in the
town.
