FIRST PEACHES FOR AMERICUs.
Several of Sneed Variety Exhibited
Here.

Mr., j. W. Mize claims the distinc-
ton of bringing in the first peaches.
Several of the Early Sneed variety
were exhibited by him here yesterday,
though he brought in another lot quite
as good last Saturday.
Mr.. Mize likewise brought the first
peaches last year.
Those exhibited yesterday were none
the best, and if fair sample Of the
fruit crop this year the peaches will
not be plentiful.
In fact, the expected wall is being
heard in the broad domain of Queen
alberta and short crop of peaches is
now the prospect. While the fruit is
half grown, it is gummy and wormy'
and of little account,
This is the effect of the last cold
spell, and even then experienced fruit
men predicted disaster.
But as the young peaches did not
fall off the tree at the time the fruit
men regalned confidence, and the
news has been heralded abroad that a
two thirds crop of fine peaches might
be expected.
In some localities this may be the
case, but as a general thing the peach
crop is going to be failure.

OATS sCARCER THAN DOLLARS.
Failure in Texas Will Raise The
Price Here.

Every farmer in southwestern Geor-
gia should husband his oat crop this
year, as aside from what will be re.
CURED to feed stock he will have to de.
pend wholly upon his home supply for
seed oats another year.
His usual granary, Texas, will not
be able to supply him.
In fact, Texas will have to buy her
next planting of seed oats from Geor-
gia or some other state, as none are to
be had there.
Letters received IN Americus from
Texas commission merchants report
the oat crop out there an absolute fail
ure and not worth the cutting. Usual
ly Texas ships millions of bushels of
seed oats.
Nearly all the oats sowed in Georgia
are the "Texas rust proof.
Mr.. D. III. Borum, a local commits
sion merchant, wrote to Texas houses
to place orders for two hundred cars of
select seed oats.
Yesterday he received replies to the
effect that none were to be had, and the
further statement was made that Texas
would ship not car of oats this year.
Her crop is total failure.
With this information before them,
our farmers can act accordingly.

COL. WHELAN RETIRED
Distinguished in the Civil War and
In Indian Fighting.

Col. James n. Whelan, 18th Cavalry
stationed at San Antonio. Tex, in COM
mand of the Department of Texas, was
placed on the retired list of the army to-
day on account of age. and the command
OF that department will devolve Temporal
rily on the senior officer present. Col
Whelan Is veteran of the war of the re-
bellion. He served throughout that war in
the volunteer establishment. Enlisting as
sergeant in Company A of the New York
Mounted Rifles in July, 1861, he gradually
rose in grade through merit and distin-
gulshed galantry until he became lieuten-
ant colonel of the 1st New York Mounted
Rlhes, in August. 1865, with the brevet of
colonel of volunteers. After the war he
was appointed second lieutenant of the I'd
Cavalry, and was breyetted major for GAL
liant services in action against Indians on
the Rosebud, Montana, May 7, 1871 He
subsequently served as major of the Sth
Cavalry and lieutenant colonel of the 7th
cavalry. and became colonel of the 18th
Cavalry in February last.
Col. Whalen was a candidate for promo
tion as brigadier general to fill one of the
vacancies which have been existing for

ment for the reason that his retirement

COL. MEADE ACQUITTED.
Restored to Duty as Result of Recent
Court-MartiaI

IT was announced at the Navy Depart-
ment this morning that the court-martial
which tried Col Robert L. Meade of the
Marine Corps at the New York navy ward
on charges of drunkenness on duty and
scandalous conduct tending to the de-
struetion of good morals has acquitted
that officer, and that he has been restored
TO duty nending the formal review of the
proceedings of the court by Judge Advocate
General Lemly and Secretary Longs ap-
proval OF the finding. 1t is stated that the
court makes no mention whatever in its
hnding OF the testimony introduced by Col
Meade against Col. Denny and Mai. LAUGH
heimer, the principal witnesses for the
prosecution.
1t is the opinion OF naval officials that
this case, as far as Col. Meade is con-
cerned. is closed, and that the formal pro-
ceedlnss yet remaining will not affect the
verdict of the court
Lieut. Niblack. the recorder of the court
arrived In Washington this morning from
New York with the records of the court-
martial and turned them over to :Judpa
Advocate General Lemly at the NAVY Ds
partment. "
The many friends Of Col. Meade are
much gratifed to learn of his exoneration
OF the charges brought against him. Col
Meade has an enviable war record and n
was felt to be particularly unfortunate thai
these charges should have been preferred
against him at this stage of his career
