NORTH GEORGIA
 PEACHES ARRIVE Early Crop Seems to be of an
 Inferior Quality LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET Tomatoes From South Alabama and Mississippi Have Begun to Ar rive and Soon the Jones Valley
 Crop Will Be On Market.
LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET

The North Georgia peach has at last made its appearance in this market, but it seems to be of an inferior quality. This is a hard. cling stone variety and is known as the Sneede. It brings the small price of from g to sS per crate, consider ing 1t the first to be marketed.
 Birmingham also gets a peach from this, Jones valley, that proves to be very good and the market will be flooded with it in a few weeks About 3,500 bushels are marketed here each season.
 The best peach that comes to this mar ket is the Georgia Elberta, which Is almost large enough to be mistaken for small sized pumpkin and is richer than bowl of fresh cream. This peach is grown south of Macon, Ga, in the most fertile part of the fruit growing section. It is of dark red and deep yellow color. The Elberta has sold here as high as 75 cents per dozen and was very popular,
 Tomatoes.
 The tomatoes from South Alabama and Mississippi have begun to arrive. and the inferior Florida product is no more to be seen.
 The tomato fiuctuates more than any other fruit handled by the produce mer- chant. It is not based on the amount of shipment but altogether on the dry and damp days, as damp days causes the tomato to become soft and decay and then the market price drops to throw the tomato on the consumer. The best to- mato can be had now from Sl75 to $250 per crate.
 Int Eastern markets get the best tomato from Florida So we have to take an inferior quality. and pay from 8 to $i per crate.
 The greatest trouble we find with the Florida tomato is that 1t is cut by worms and being shipped so far in that condition soon decays.
 In the course of two or three weeks home production will be on the market in full blast and then tomatoes will be in abundance at very small price.
 The fruit vendors have instituted the cut price on strawberries and they are now selling the best Cullman berry to the consumer at two quarts for 15 cents. and some of them go so low as cents per quart. If this cutting is kept up for few more days the housekeepers will be able to get six or seven quarts for 25 cents and then the steady boarder will grow sick of berries and long for the season to close.

Not long ago a Russian cemetery was the
scene of as weird wedding as ever has
been witnessed. A young girl who had
been betrothed died on the eve Of her mar
| riage, and her friends decided that, in spite
OF the intervening hand Of death, the mar
rage should be carried on. and the cere-

grave, and after the marriage the body was
returned to the coffin and lowered to its
long resting place

why the storage battery serves to adyan-
tage. II Is very cheaply operated.
Ihe indicators in front of the electrician's
desk show just how much power is being
used. and how much is being sent out by
the machines. As soon as the demands for
more power begin to come in and lower
tne supply the electrician sees 1t by the in
uicator. He gives the command imme-
diately, Cut In another machine"
The men below In the boiler room run TO
their furnaces, open the doors, and, raking
up the slumbering Goals. begin to shovel
in coal as fast they can. The steam
rushes into the pipes, the machines up
stairs begin to move slowly at first then
faster and faster. The armatures whirr
around, breaking the lines of force in the
big magnets and generating electricity
But the machines are not allowed to send
electricity into the main wires until they
nave developed certain amount OF volt
age. They must have voltage equal TO
the voltage Of the line before they are cut
In on the main wires: for the voltage must
be even. though the amperage increases
with increase Of power
OFTEN, before the main switches which
cut In the first extra machine on the wire
have been closed, there is a still further
demand for power. and the needle OF the
indicator rises. Then a second and a third
machine are cut in, and last of all the cleo
trician shouts. Cut in all the machines"
Every man jumps to his work Every hand
Is busy with the work Of getting up power
In the shortest possible time. The boilers
throo. the building shakes with the whirr
Of the armatures And when the machines
are all working at full capacity and the
needle still shows insufficient power the
electrician runs over to the storage bat
terry. turns the big switch and sends a
heavy volume of new power flashing over
the wires.
Certain days are remembered by the men
in the power house OF an electric light
company as events. Among these none is
more vivid than the day several months
ago when. between o and 10 o clock in the
morning, the atmosphere became almost
pitch dark Immediately every one turned
on all his electric lights and began to call
up the weather bureau. The darkness came
on so suddenly that the electric light COM
pany was hardly prepared for it. As the
pail OF blackness settled on the city the
chief electrician. recognizing an emergency
jumped up from his desk and shouted
Start everything in the house" In seven
minutes We had the maximum load on"
said Mr.. Tinklepaugh. but even then we
were hardly in time, and for a while the
demand was so pressing that our power
ran dangerously low"
OF course, these sudden. fluctuations I'm
demand for more light are very expensive
They cost a great deal for extra coal and
the use Of extra machines and the storage
battery. But in the end IL is the people
who have to pay for them. Dark DAYS cost
the people money, and are a good thing for
the electric light company, after all.
