the crop, though undoubtedly dam
aged, was not destroyed by
great deal, and he said this county
would have lots of peaches. Where
ever the orchards have been recently
plowed," he said, the fruit is killed.
Where the orchards have not been
plowed there will be some peaches.

grees not to phaze the peaches. The
cold has already damaged the peaches,
however. to the extent of fully 40 per
cent, but enough is left on the trees
to insure a pretty good crop"
Mr.. H, l.. Hodges of Jacksonville
was also a visitor in the city last
night, but he stated before taking the
train for his home this morning that
he could not tell how much damage
had been done, but that he feared the
peach had been hit pretty hard.
