The peach crop throughout this
State and the entire South has been
practically destroyed by the freezes Of
the past two weeks 1t is stated on
good authority that at least 80 per
cent of the Georgia crop has been
killed. Last year that state shipped
1000 carloads of peaches to the
Northern markets, but it is now be-
lieved that 500 carloads will be the
limit OF such shipments this year.
This will be a severe loss to the
peach growers Of that Stage, rs it
will be to the people of all the other
states effected.
Our advertisers are specially re-
qupstpd to get i'm their copy for
changes early in the week-on Mon
day if possible. This will prove to
our mutual advantage, as it will
enable our ad. man to get up your
advertisements in much better shape
and more attractive form. The eff
| fectiveness of an advertisement de-
ponds largely on the style in which
it is put in type, and our ad. man has
to work at q very great disadvantage
when copy comes in late. There is
always a rush of matter on the two
days Just previous publication day.

most unchanged sections OF the
