From January /, 1918, to May IS
Of same year there we're shipped I'M
to Fort Gaines from distant states
I ,696, $50 pounds Of corn, oats, feed
and meal.
In this huge pile were nearly half
a million pounds each Of corn, oats,
ind mixed feed, $1,000 lbs. Of hay
and 193, 800 pounds of meal.
Besides all this there were more
than 10000 pounds Of western

pot.
The retail value Of these nearly
two million pounds Of feed Is ap-

This county has already spent at

You Prepare for Business; Why
Not Prepare for Marriage?


In the June Woman's Home Cons
panion a writer, on the subject Of
marriage, makes the following prop
osition.
Most girls 60 into marriage very
little prepared for it. We prepare,
it would seem, for every profession
IN which we hope to win success,
except the most important one Of
all. We would not dare take a re-
sponsible position in a business Of
fee without either knowledge or
training to fit US for our task; yet,
with neither, we assume the grayest
responsibilities that woman can
assume, and confidently expect sue
cess and happiness. The thing is
without parallel, think, and stands
by itself in folly and lack Of com
mon sense.
And, having persuaded our
selves that our happiness will be Sc
cure, despite any unftness and in
adequacy Of ours, how are We sha-
ken and amazed and cast devn and
put into despair when that happi-
ness fails and we sit before the
weedy haryests Of our mistakes. In
all other matters we may be reasons
able enough, and few Of us but ex-
pect, in the general events and con
sequences Of life, to gather figs only
from fig trees and to find thorns and
thistles only in their accustomed
places; but in this event the natural
laws Of growth and consequences
and all order and likelihood are to
be set aside in our favor and we are
to be permitted, we assume, to ga
Their pomegrantes from the most
readily grown lettuees, and the
choicest foreign fruits from the
thorny plants Of our most common
place ignorances and follies.

The Georgia Peach
Crop is Short

Atlanta, Ga The Georgia peach
crop this year viii not exceed 1 $50
carloads, which is 30 per cent. less
than the city Of New York alone
purchased last year.
III D. Marks, manager Of the
Georgia Fruit Exchange, estimates
the total Georgia crop at ] ,454 cars,
The Fruit Growers Express figures
i $40 cars, while the Central Of Ga.
Railway losks for only ! ,3l2.
Last year the Georgia crop was
unusual large, 5000 carloads Of
Georgia's favorite fruit being ship
ped to market. New York City al
ways the greatest consumer OF the
seasons early deliacies, purchased
2, 800 carloads for home consump-
ton and countrywide distribution.
This year New York alone will de
mand mere than the entire State
Tcan supply.
Last year the growers realized IN
the season $ average 1915 per car
load, gross, in New York. This sea-
sons short crop will send the price
soaring. Early shipments may bring
as high as ST 900 car, although
lie seasons average will be less.
Railroads are already preparing
to handle the crop. All F. @. D..
cars received BY the Central Of
Georgia are parked in The Fort Val
ley and Marshallyille yards. This
road has requisitioned 200 cars
from the Fre;t Growers Express.
Mr.. Marks expects the fast car
load Of Greensboro peaches, the
earliest variety, between June 8 and
5. Carmen peaches will begin to
move between June Is and rs;
Hinley Bills June %; Georgia Bills
June 30, and Elberta crop will be
exceedingly short. On the Hinley
Bills and Georgia Bills will be ga
thered in great amounts.
Heavy rainss preventing polleni-
zation, caused the crop shortage
according to Mr.. Marks. Central Of
Georgia officials attribute the fall
ing off to early frosts.

Rains Have Encouraged
Farmers Of Ice County
Coz Pre.pset. H.vs B.sn er..IIy Inprevsd.


Recent rains in Lee county lave
greatly improved the prospects for
good crops. Both cotton and corn
have been helped by therains, which
commenced to fall just about the
time when oats had been harvested.
Throughout the county more or
less rainfall has been enjoyed re-
Gently. In some sections the rain
has been heavier than in others, but
it has been timely wherever it fell.
The farmers of the county are re-
joicing that the rain came before
permanent damage had been done
the crops.
The rains were especially helpful
in case ofcotton which has not come
up, while corn was equally bene-
fitted. It is safe to say that the
rains have saved many dollars tothe
farmers of this county as we'll as to

One Of Coolest JunGS
On Record in County
Thermometer Tuesday Went down to g degrees

One Of the coolest Junea ever
known hereis what the present mon
til has established its claim to by
the recent unseasonably cold wea-
Their. The thermometer here and
in other parts Of the county went
as low as So degrees Tuesday while
for several days the first part Of the
week the weather was exceptionally
raw and cold for June.
1t is hoped that the effect on the
crops will not b. very bad, though
considerable fear is expressed here
that damage will be done by the
exceptionally unreasonable weather.
Cotton will likely be mostly af-
fected, as it is a hot weather plant.
Reports from the farmers Of the
county relative to the recentweath-
CT will be received with interest
