MARRIED IN HASTE.

A dispatch to the Atlanta Journal
from Gainesville says: A most roman
tic marriage occurred here yesterday.
Near the commissary of the Gaines
vile Cotton Mill a company was gath
cred when Mr.. w. j. Harley, widow
er, IS years of age. with several chill
dren, joined the group. The bystand-
ers asked him why he didn't marry
again. He parried the good nAtured
raillery and finally declared that he
would marry the first woman who
would have him. In not more than
ten minutes a good looking woman
passed by, and some one pleasantly
accosted her and asked if she would
marry. She replied that she had been
married, had several children and was
several years widowed, but that she
might try a second chance at the mat
rimonial game. She was introduced to
Mr.. Harley and asked If she would
consent to a union with him, he sec
onding the suggestion. After two or
three questions she accepted, and. in
two hours from the time they met
for the first time in their lives, they
were married. The contracting parties
were Mr.. William J. Harley and Mrs.
Hulda Bryant. Rev. D. S. Grindle
performed the ceremony at the home
of Mr.. ]. NJ. Sheffield, at No. 1 Geor-
Ria avenue.

CONDITION OF PEACHES.

Macon Telegraph: Mr.. NJ. S. Ware
Of Marshallville was in the city yes
terday. He says there are some
peaches left. and estimates that $50
carloads will be shipped from Mar
shallville sections. He does not agree
with some of the theories as to the
cause of the dropping off of the fruit,
and the consequent shortage. He says
that trees need trimming and fertiliza-
ton. That unless this is done the
drain of two or three large crops saps
the vitality of the trees. He states
that the peaches this year from pres
ent indications will be of fine quality.
Mr.. e. j. Willingham corroborates
Mr.. Ware as to the probable yield and
quality of the fruit. He states that
the principal peach growers about Fort
Valley estimate a yield of $50 car
loads. The peaches, Mr.. Willingham
says, are already taking on color and
growing fast. Growers expect prices
to rule high on account of the partial
or total failure of the peach crop
throughout the country. From an au-
thentic source it was learned yester-
day that the peach crop was safe in
one county in Georgia at least, and
that county is none other than Worth.
Mr.. Irwin Gates of Sylvester said: "If
the reports as to the peach crop that
have been sent out in Georgia are
true, Worth county will be the ban
ner county this year in the production
of this delicious fruit. The cold
weather has not affected the peaches
in our locality in the least. and the In
diana Fruit Company-one of the most
extensive in Georgia-are going to ship
a tremendous crop of every variety, as
far as the indications go up to this
date. Not only peaches, but every
variety of fruit is in most promising
condition" said Mr.. Gates, land un-
less something unforeseen occurs,
Worth will make most excellent
showing"
