Making Money Some.

Mr.. W. C. Prevatt, of Raft
Swamp, was in town Saturday
and gives account of making
money, some, on peaches. Mr..
Prevatt says that he has gather
ed and sold SIT worth of peaches
from one tree this year, to say
nothing of what his family has
made use of. He raised the tree
from a seed planted several years
ago and does not know the name
of the peach. but says it is of the
clear stone variety. Mr.. Prevatt
says that he has a great many
more peaches that will ripen lat
err, but one that he thinks will
do as we'll as this particular tree.
If one had plenty of such trees
as this and no one to eat the fruit
thereof he might start a bank
account.
