TRA|NLOADS OF ELBERTAs
ARE RUSHING EASTWARD
1915 WILL BE BANNER FRUIT
YEAR IN THE HISTORY OF
LOGAN COUNTY

Notwithstanding the heavy rains OF
Saturday, thousands of bushels OF
Elbertas were gathered, packed and
shipped Sunday.
Hundreds OF Guthrie citizens, bus
mess men, professional men, boys.
1 girls and women, rallied to the aid OF
the distressed orchard owners and
helped gather the fast ripening peach
| crop. Several hundred wagons and
automobiles were filled with pickers
and packers early Sunday morning,
bound for the orchards Again this
morning, beginning at daylight, the
stream of vehicles began to flow or
hcardwards from Guthrie.
1t is estimated that not less than
800 car loads Of Elbertas. were ship
ped from Guthrie Sunday; ten cars
from the Spurlock orchard alone went
eastward.
L. l. Beland shipped four car loads
and w. II. Coyle eight. Coyle has
seven orchards and so far has ship
ped out 27 car loads Of Elbertas.
Last week the crop moved east
ward at the rate of 80 car loads dai.
Ily; this week that will be increased
to at least rs cars.
The orchard owner pays to labor
20 cents per bushel for handling. this
figured on basis of 100000 bushels
picked, means that $57 200 will be dis
tributed among Guthrie people during
the season. which will last probably
fifteen days,
The hot sun of today is ripening
the peaches fast, and extra large
forces OF pickers and packers are be-
ing used to gather the crop.
Congregations at some Of the
Guthrie churches were greatly re-
duced Sunday morning on account of
the frantic appeal OF the peach grow
ers for help to save their fine fruit
before it got beyond the point of sal
vation.
Most OF the people are usually
found among the congregations al
some OF the city churches. Some of
the ministers would have been glad
to have been able to help in the work.
One said: "With so many people
hungry for a taste of our fine fruit of
which we are lively to have more
than can be saved, it really looks
wasteful If not sinful If we fail to
help save these fine peaches" An
other today said: 81 wish that |,
with every membef of my congrega-
tion, might have spent yesterday in
the work of saving some Of the fine
peaches which are bound to go to
waste How great the joy would be
next winter if the needy widows and
hungry children could have part Of
This fine fruit which we will not be
able to save"
Saturday several distress calls
were sounded. Some OF the heavy

a World of Grunters.

The world today is an aggrega.
ton of grunters.
From youth to old age life is
just one big grunt after another.
In infancy we grulnt from the
collie, and in maturity we grunt
from over eating or "bolting our
food, with its consequent indiges-
ton, or from the pangs of hunger.
If luck comes our way we grunt
because there is not more luck to
double our holdings, while if it
passes us we grunt at the injustice
of fate.
If our family is in the swim Of
society we grunt when we pay
the bills, and if they are not there
we grunt because they are dis
criminated against.
If eve hold public office we
grunt when our constituents in
sist upon our living up to our
pledges, while if we are defeated
at the polls we grunt because the
fools elected that maverick over
the Way.'
IF the city dads vote funds for
local improvements we grunt be-
cause it was not in accordance
with our desires, while if they
heed our advice we grunt because
they were too stingy.
We grunt at our school teach
ers because they insist upon obedl-
cnce to the rules of the school III
their efforts to imstill a little
knowledge into the heads Of our
offspring, while if they fail we
grunt because they have not de-
veloped an educational wonder
from a brain that is below par.
We grunt at the preacher when
he speaks out the truth, and we
grunt at him if he don't.
We grunt at the merchant, and
the doctor and our beasts Of bur
den, and even the dog and the cat
get grunt or a kick.
Yes, this world is one great ag-
gregation of grunters, and a few
are even in our own midst.
But let us hope there are no
grunters in paradise.

JEWISH CITIZENS TO OBJ
SERVE DAY OF ATONEMENT 7

The initial service is held in the
evening Of the 18th Of September.
The entire day Of the 18th of Sep
tember is devoted to it. The Rit
ual of the Day is public and con-
gregational; but it's significance is
personal.
One phase Of the Ritual of the
Day is the thought and memory
Of the dead. Each man thinks Of
the void that has come into his
career through the loss OF kin
dred and Of the obligations he has
because of it. And all think OF
the Eminent Dead, of the men of
efficiency and world-infuence, who
have served and advanced the
good Of the world. In this too
there is evidence Of the democra-
cy of judaism. Whatever their
origin or place, the gre at and
good are mentioned with appre-
citation.
The Day of Atonement is day
for inner peace, and accordingly,
the Jews re assert their loyalty
to peace for themselves and for
mankind. By the assertion of the
better self they broaden it into
goodwill for fellowmen. Know
thyself, and if thou dost, thou
wilt understand, feel with and re-
spect thy fellowman. This is the
basis Of Justice and Peace.
In observance of the Day of
Atonement our Jewish citizens
viii close their places of business
Saturday until 6 o'clock in the
evening.

YES; THE JEWS KNEW 1T ON FRI
DAY-AND ROSSAR KNEW
1T ALL ALONG.

Dear Sir: On Saturday morning,
June 10Th, a gentleman entered his
place of business in Atlanta. Directly
there came in another man, who
works in the same place, and whose
wife is a Jewess. The first mentioned
party, knowing that the man was
acquainted with all that interested
the Jews, said to him: We'll, Mr..
--, has Jack commuted?" The
reply was, "He has already COM
muted," and the man whose wife is
Jewess went on to tell the other that
Slaton had notified Marks and other
prominent Jews on Friday that their
man was safe. Just think Of it!
Two days before he appealed to
''Sally" for counsel, he had already
sent word over the city that Frank
was safe!
The same gentleman said, in his
remarks, that the Solicitor got wind
Of what was going on before it was
in the papers, and warned Slaton of
what he was about to do, and Slaton
replied: Il am Governor, and when
I want any suggestions from you,
shall call on you"
Judas Iscariot betrayed his Mas
ter, Benedict Arnold tried to betray
his country, and Slaton betrayed his
State.
Today I paid up and ordered one
Of the Atlanta dailies to stay out of
my house. Shall try the Telegraph,
but if it sells out to the Romanists,
shall quit the dailies. 1t is a dis
grace to our civilization that we'll

money and the rascally priesthood,
and the people have no daily that

knows that all the press dispatches
that go into their columns have to be
censored by the Jesuits before they
are sent to the papers, and any ex-
posture Of the CrOokedness of Rome
is cut out, and the dailies submit
without a word Of objection.
How many dailies in Georgia pub

ton of Mr.. Black in Marshall. Texas?

WINGED Of the rOttenness of Rome, he
had made it his business to enlighten
the people as to the danger that now
threatens this country from the en-

prevent the exposure, the Knights Of
Columbus assassinated him in cold
blood, and the papers of the land,
barring a few exceptions, said not a
word. Why?
