 After the death of his wife Iwerson took to drinking. His money was spent faster than he made it and about a year after the death of his wife he married woman who had recently come to this city. After his second marriage Iwerson continued drinking and soon lost his business. The loss of his business was followed by the loss of his property which went in riotous living until the once well-fixed man became almost a pauper.
 Out of the wreck he saved piece of land in the northwestern part of the city and the little farm near Planters vile. For a number of years he and his wife lived here. but about two years ago they moved to Plantersville.

PRUNE
&C CROP
GOOD
1t Is Believed That the Guam
ity of Crop VIII Equal Cap
acity of Dryers

The condition of the growing crop
of prunes in the Willamette valley is
attracting more attention from the
farmers in this section than any other
crop at this time.
The early wet weather and the later
extreme heat are. considered by some
growers to be the causes of the prunes
falling. In some communities the fall
is quite heavy and is viewed with
alarm by the growers. In other sec.
tions, the farmtrs think that the fal,
Is no more than beneficial. One grower
who was in the city today said that ia
some sections there was not more than
25 per cent of the prunes left on the
trees. Othc- farmers say that unless
the prunes keep dropping the trees
will contain as many as can mature to
perfection.
Taking what might be considered an
average, it is believed that thu crop
of this year will be equal to the capac.
ity of the driers.
The dropping of the prunes this year
is somewhat different from usual. In
most Yeas the heavy fall comes ir
June. The continued rains during that
month probably caused the fall to come
later this year
All reports agree that the quality
of the fruit will be excellent, Judging
from pressnt indications. "The ppune
output of cared fruit will be equal tc
the capacity of the driers and n,
more" says L. NJ. Gilbert, of Liberty,
when interviewed as to the prune crop
Mr.. Gilbert owns large sized orchard
and states that the crop in that local
ity will be particularly good in quail
ity and quantity. The prunes are
dropping freely but there is no alarm
manifested over the great falling of
of the fruit and the growers are rather
glad that the prunes are falling, thus
making it possibly for the fruit re-
naming on the trees to gaow larger
and of a choicer quality. The Liberty
neighborhood is one of the most pro
ductive p-une centers of the valley
and the conditions of the orchard il
| that locality are most promising.

STILL RUNNING OFF SCHEDULE
Central Trains Continue to Exasperate
Public,

The Central Railway passenger trains
due in Americus at 1925 O'Clock Friday
night arrived in the early hours Sat
urday morning. And, during the
weary waiting of hours at the depot,
passengers remained in bIissful ignor-
ance of the time at which they could
leave Americus, if leave at ALL The
train from Macon and Atlanta was re-
ported "aboul" three hours late, but
the information was volunteered that
it might not arrive even at O'Clock
next morning. And this has been the
case for many weary weeks. These
two trains rarely ever come on time,
and when they are late it is next to
impossible TO obtain any information
as to when they will arrive. And
thus passengers and others wait and
wait, hours at the time. with no def
mite information to guide them. This
condition is wholly inexcusable and
most exasperaMng as we'll, and the
Central Railway authorities should see
to it that the public is accorded better
treatment.
