DANGER TO CROP is

FRUIT MEN FEAR a FROST NOW
Cold Yesterday Made Them Appre-
Observation-Disclosures "A Wind Last
Might Might Have Averted Frost
Over 400, 900 Tress.

-Four hundred thousand peach trees
within radius of FIVE miles of Ameri-
Gus will produce first full crop this
year If the seasons are propitious, and
the whitening touch of the frost king
can be stayed. Hence the anxiety ex-
pressed by the fruit men here yester.
day evening.
The crop means fortune to them, if
1t can be safely harvested.
The sudden fall IN temperature yes.
terday caused no little anxiety through
out the peach belt, and particularly
about Americus, where the temperature
for week has been unusually mild
For herein lies the danger to the
peach crop, as in every orchard buds
are swelling or trees blooming.
One OF the largest growers here ex-
pressed the hope that high wind last
night would keep off frost, otherwise
the danger might be great. The wind
yesterday dried the moisture settling
in the fruit buds and blooms, render
ing them less liable to be killed.
It's critical iuncture, but fruit
growers hope that it can be passed in
entire safety.
Quite recently many of the large or
chards here have been sprayed and put
in fine trim for the expected crop, and
the killing of buds now would entail
great financial loss to the fruit men.
For 400, 200 peach trees means very
large yield Of fruit.
Within the past few years the fruit
growing industry here has assumed
large proportions, being second only
to that at Fort Valley and Marshall
Vile Two orchards alone here con-
tain 10000 trees, while others range
in number from 10000 to 10000 or
more.
Hence it can be seen that the safety of
the fruit crop means quite a good deal
to the growers.

AQUATIC PLANTS
How They May Be Successfully Guilt

How They May Be Successfully Guilt
waited In Tabs.
The cultivation of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. OF course he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarer sorts of nymphaea, but he can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
Of water lily and other plants of that
class. half barrel is not very at
tractive in itself, but its lack of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or it
may be sunk its depth in the earth.
When it contains q fine specimen of
some aquatic plant we will forget all
about its lack Of grace. When prepar-
ing for these plants put in rich black
mud from the bed Of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth Of a foot;
then plant your roots in it and ill with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub a
sunny place in the yard or garden. If
you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate, it is a good
plan to take four, five, six, or as many
as you may decide on, and have them
sunk in the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some
thing like that which a large tank
would give. A better plan, though a
more expensive one to carry out, is
to have a tank constructed of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt
ed at the ends and the joints made
tight by white lead in the grooves.

Airs. III. mr. hf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic.
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe.
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every.
thing else had failed. She writes:
:" For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that ]
was unable to attend to my daily duties /
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in nv
stomach. tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me- | was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was well woman. / have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such a record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

MATELESS PIGEONS.
Curious Provision of Nature to End
Their Solitude.

wi AONS Oh nature TO En0
Their Solitude.
Pigeons are homogeneous" said a
raiser of those birds for market land
the female lays but two eggs. One of
these is always the egg from which q
male is Matched, and the other incloses
the future female. If by any accident
a cock pigeon loses its mate or a hen
pigeon becomes widowed the sympa.
thies of the entire cot go out to the
afflicted brother or sister. If it should
so happen that a cock should lose his
mate and hen hers. so that they ere
both mateless at the same time, the af-
ficted pair soon forget their grief in
new life partnership, and all is serene.
But If there is a widower in the cot
and no convenient widow for him to
take to mate, or If there is q widow for
whom no widower pigeon is on hand.
something must be done to fill the va
cancy. Upon the first hen pigeon to
nest after the vacancy occurs falls the
important duty. If she hasn't Matched
her eggs yet she promptly dumps one
Of the two out of the nest. She never
makes mistake in evicting the right
one. If widow is to be provided for,
the hen throws out the egg containing
her future daughter; if a widower is
pining for mate she disposes of the
son egg. If she has Matched her egg
when q demand is made for her Sacri-
fee she ceases feeding the youngster
who will be superduous and starves it
to death. Pigeons grow fast. and,
squabhood over, the lone product Of
that nest becomes mate to the bereayed
member of the flock"

Cotton Letter.

Americas, Ga Feb. 81. While the
/ future market stands still, spinners alb
sorb spot cotton in vast quantities.
They have adopted the call system Of
providing for their wants and during
the week have fixed prices on hundreds
of thousands of bales. The exporters
who own this cotton have provided
themselves with il, having it either in
Liverpool or at American ports. AS
the result of past weeks operations the
ownership of the greater part of the
Liverpool stock and much of the cotton
held at United States ports has passed
into spinners hands This cotton is off
the market and can't be considered a
weight. On the other baud spinners
having provided themselves amply are
in position to hold off for Ioug period
SO that they may drop out of the mar.
ket should any advance be attempted.
There were no notices in circulation
today and the steadiness of the March
option were indicative that liquidation
had been completed. In fact ii may be
said that liquidation on both sides of
the account has been very general
since shorts were eager buyers on the
decline to make profits. Something of
the nature of 8 new market movement
appears TO be under way now. It is
rumored that new bear party has
been formed and has already put out
short line of about 90,0 900 bales. This
element argued that we are to have
good weather, and there is nothing to
induce buyers to take hold hence with
a tendency toward weakness in the dry
goods market prices should give
way of their own weight. The next
official utterance on the crop will
be due about March 20th. The figures
of amount ginned to Feb. 1st given out
by Mr. Price 10, 271 200 have prepared
the world for a census report on March
2Oih showing total ginneG of about
10. 100000, The salvation of the mar
ket lies in the hands of the spinner
and his own immunity from cancelIa-
ton of high priced orders lies in pre-
venting further decline in raw cotton
Liverpool is due to come to 2 higher
on pear months and unchanged on new
crop positions.

IrOnmonger.

The word "ironmonger'' has as curl
Gus an origin as any other word in the
English language. 1t means literally
an eater of iron and came to its present
use in this way. There was once law
that forbade buying fish to sell again,
and the fish hawkers, who still carried
on their trade in spite of this law, were
facetiously termed fish eaters or fish
mongers, for, to evade the law, their
large purchases Of fish were said to be
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied to other
trades, as cheesemonger. until at last
it came to mean any middle man, as
distinguished from a manufacturer, and
so was applied to the dealer in hard
vare.-London Graphic
