PEACH CROP IS
 VERY PROMISING Two Hundred People Find Em- pIoyment In Orchard MONEY IS LOST IN JAIL Brothers Claims That FeIow-Prisoner Got It, But It Cannot Be Found.

MONEY IS LOST IN JAIL

Gadsden, July S-(SpeciaI. )-Work at the Elliott peach orchards is under full head way and the famous Elbertas of this place are being rushed to market at the rate of several carloads each day. About 200 people are employed and the orch ards present busy scene. At least two weeks will be required to market the crop.
 Israel Brothers, the man in jail here on a charge of assaulting his wife, and who attempted to commit suicide in the pres ence of the court when his case was on trial, claims to have been robbed of q sum of money while in jail by some of his fellow-prisoners. Brothers is known to have had quite nice sum of money on his person when placed in jail, and al- though thorough search has been made for it among all the prisoners, the cells and Brothers himself, not a trace of 1t can be found. As Brothers is suspected of being insane it is thought that he may have destroyed the money.
 The water syndicate has received a carload of pipe and announces that it will
 
 mains on Eleventh street and other streets in that part of the city. As the city con- tends that the old company does not hold a franchise for this purpose 1t is expected that steps will be taken to enjoin any action of the company looking to an un- authorized use of the city streets. If the water company persists in it's present attitude it seems highly probable that the courts will once more be called upon to decide the status of the rights of the parties to the controversy.

SUNDAY Ball Game,

The base balI4game SUNDAY be-
tween the Kain's Councii of S..
Louis, winners of the Knights
Columbus League, and Moot
gomerv was the best game OF the
national sport that has been
played in this City for several
years. Our boys seemed to be on
their toes all the time and put life
and speed into every stage OF the
game that made it all in all one OF
the most intererting games ever
played here. They all played so
well that its hard to pick the finer
points but the especially good
work of Sharp, Lorton, Ham and
Shackelford is we'll worth men
ton.
The game for next Sunday
against the strong Black Feather
Club, winners OF the A. A. 4.
League pennant should prove
equally as strong game. Here's
hoping they win.

UNUSUALLY FINE BUSINESS s
The Mexico Crown Laundry Making
Things Hum.

The Mexico Crown Laundry is
one OF the best equipped in the
county and is employing thirty
people. While la Mexico this
week, Mr.. Williams showed a rep
resentative of this paper the in
side workings of this up-to- ate
enterprise and we found it the
best equipped of any laundry
we know of anywhere.
1t not only has a large and
rapid capacity but the work is
beautiful and reminds one that
"surely cleanliness is next to
Godliness." No wonder that it is
doing big business through this
part of the state and yet, We un-
derstand that at this time there is
not representative or an agent
at Montgomery City, and this 10
view OF the fact that there is no
laundry or chinese establishment
in the town.
Manager Williams says that he
will look after the field when he
gets time. His laundry is closes,
to this territory and best. 1t will
be we'll for some enterprising 2
young man to take the matter up
with Mr.. Williams when the op-
portunity is offered.
