NINE HUNDRED GOOD DOLLARS.
Received For Peaches Already By a
Grower Here.

One Americas fruit grower is on the
safe side of the peach market already
to the extent of 5000, which amount he
has banked as the returns for ship
ments made and the fruit sold in his
orchard.
And this sum will be largely in
creased ere the season ends.
This shipper told the Times-Record-
er yesterday that, like the fruit men
about Fort Valley and Marshallvllle,
he was selling the bulk of his crop
right here.
The first EIbertas are now being
handled and these bring $1.25 per
crate on the spot, Some shipments
are made to reliable houses, but such
is the demand for peaches that the
shippers come here for them.
CanteIoupes are abundant and sell
here at prices ranging from one cent
to a nickIe, according to their size and
quality.
