Coral Reefs In Georgia.
To the minds Of most readers thu
mention Of coral reefs calls up a pio-

ologists find coral reefs in the midst
of great continents. These, Of course.
belong to a past age of the earth's his
tory. but on that very account they are
extremely interesting. During the past
year several remarkable reefs Of fossil
coral have been explored real Balm
bridge on the Flint river in Georgia.
In n case a very large portion OF the
reef exposed consists of coral heads.
some Of which are more than q foot
In diameter. Between twenty-five and
thirty species Of coral have been REQ

Tertiary age.

HARD WORK FIGHTING FIRE
Hollinger Wheat Field Blaze a Dan

W. H. and G. R. Hollinger were in

spark at the threshing engine. When
first seen the fire was not larger than

made leap for it but in vain. 1t

the lightest on their farms, went 81

The same story comes from all over

CROPS AROUND MOONLIGHT.
Wheat Il Good But Oats Il Nearly a
Failure.

MOONLIGHT, July 9.-Farmers in
this vicinity have finished harvesting
and are beginning to thresh. The
wheat will average 20 bushels per
acre, the quality being exceptionally
good so far. Rye will make so bushels
per acre. Corn will be an entire
failure unless rain comes within q
day or two, as the chinch bugs are
playing havoc with it, being more
plentiful than they have been for
several years. Oa.s is scarcely worth
threshing as there was not rain enough
and it has been blighted and would
not ill out, consequently it is very
light.
