PEA CHI SHIPMENTS NOW ENDING
Season in Georgia is Drawing to .
Close

While a few shipments of Elberta
peaches from tbs territory about
Amerlcns are still being made the
crop In the state is pretty we'll all in
and is disappointinglY small as com.
pared with first estimates. II is very
well known to the public that the
bulk of tbs crop in Georgia is han
died By the Central, and The re-
suit of the seasons business as com-
piled IN the offices of the Central is
surely indicative of the RESULT as to
the state at large. Though the num-
Der OF cars handled this season Is
above that of last year the number has
fallen short of the advance estimates
by considerable margin. The melon
and canteloupe shipments have been
smaller than they were last year in
spite Of large acreage. The shortage
of the crops is chargsble to the excess
sIve rains in the fruit sections. Up to
da.e the Central has handled /, $40 cars
OF peaches, originating on the line
proper, as against 1870 last year. The
total from the Central territory reaches
2, 907 carloads The total number from
the state will be upwards of 1000 cars.
The Central has handled 1,027 cars of
melons this season against 1906 cars
last year, and 103 cars f canteloupeF,
which is SO cars less than the pumber
marketed last year

stiffness and pedantry. "Sperage" had
been the usual English form in the
sixteenth century, but in the seven.
