get beyond the end of row of peach
trees. After the Civil War any one

peaches are produced on the Georgia
soil than in any other portion of the
United States. with the possible ex-
ception of California. This revolu-
tion in horticulture was brought
about by Connecticut Yankee. J.H.
Hale as a boy began his start in life
by carrying fruit and truck in bas-
kets to Hartford, Conn, and selling
1t from house to house. He finally ac-
cumulated enough money to plant a
little orchard OF his own in the sub
Jrbs Of Hartford on ground that peo.
pie said was unfit for any crop. Hale
thought differently and when his or
chard grew from an acre to over a
acres and his income from
the peaches to thousands of dollars n
year. they realized that they had been
mistaken.

MUDDY STREETS
SCORES OF CITIZENS WHO WERE
DOWNTOWN. DURING LAST
EVENING HAD SOMETHING TO
SAY IN CRITICISM OF THOR
OUGHFARES.

Scores of citizens who were down.
town during last evening were strong
in their criticism of the muddy con-
ditions of the streets, and strong
opinions were voiced by many peo-
pie as they crossed from one side of
the street to other as they at times
buried a shoe in the muck or, as one
lady was known to have done at the
Intendencia street crossing, left shoe
in the mud.
What a great many people could
not understand was the reason for the
sand deposit remaining on the paving
which has recently been put down,
and what a great many others could
not understand was why such large
deposits of earth, which formed the
soft mud after the slight rains of the
evening, were allowed to remain on
the streets at all, and especially on
Palafox street.
From the city hall, at each of the
cross-walks, the paving was cover
ed with such a deposit of mud that q
shoe would be buried an inch and low
shoes were not the choicest of foot
wear to have on when crossing eth
er jefferson or Zarragossa streets.
