Instead of being injurious to the
health of children, as it was considered
few years ago, candy is wholesome
food, say modern physicians. They
only stipulate that the candy shall be
pure, says the Savannah News. Quite
an important stipulation.
A serious fire was threatened early

The damage to growing crops was very
great. The farm lands were washed
badly. Corn growing on the bottoms
was practically ruined. Water covered
