The melon growers and shippers of
Gambler are Messrs. Tom Pritchett,
Alex McLain, p. A. Fort and ]. Y. Nc
Kenney. The crop is harvested and
all came out on the right side of the
ledger. Owing to the abundance of
peaches In Georgia and their early
maturity the Gambler growers are not
getting very good prices for their
peaches. Good fruit can now be had
for 81 crate and less. Mr.. Tom
Pritchett, who has ideas of his own,
took time by the forelock and is COM
ing out all right with his fine crop of
$50 crates off of his seventeen acres,
which he sold at the depot for 81 a
crate. His grove is only eighteen
months old. Next year he expects to
ship thousand crates.

certainty of the political future.

be superseded BY other patriots

can faction opposed to the Roose.

There is, therefore, great unrest
in official Washington which is
made more acute by the unfortunate
financial conditions into which the
country has fallen. and the practical
bankruptcy of the United States
Treasury. There is only six mil

for the month of December the ex-
pend'cures of the government ex-
ceeded the income by nearly eight
million dollars Since December
