COBB COUNTY FRUIT GROWERS
ASSOCIATION.

To make Cobb county the center of
attraction, the garden spot of Georgia
in the line Of peach raising, we must
have concert of action on part of its
growers. Hence it has been wise
ly suggested by several of our promi-
nent citizens and fruit growers that
we sorganize under the above name,
that from time to time we may discuss
the more important phases of orchard
management and interchange ideas
on even the minor details, etc. Judge
Geo. f. Gober very generously tender
ed the use of the opera house for q
meeting place. 1t is to be hoped that
every peach man in the county will re-
spond heartily to this suggestion, and
in the near future Cobb County Fruit
Growers Association" may become a
reality.
Mr.. G. M. Porter, of LAGRANGE, a
learned horticulturist, will soon move
to Marietta, and it is hoped to interest
him in pushing this movement to sue
cess. We are sure our people will give
him cordial welcome to our city.
