TBROTHER IS NOW BITTEN
BY MAD DOG ATTACK

Master w. j. Walker, young son of
MI. and Mrs. Jones Walker, residing
near New Point, was bitten by his pet
dog late Friday, and because of prev

regrettable attack upon the young boy,
it is feared serious results may attend
his wound. The little fellow had just
approached the dog when the animal
became suddenly angry and before it
could be pulled off, sank it's teeth
deep into the lads cheek, just below
the eye.
Several weeks ago this same dog at

FRUIT EXCHANGE IS
GBAT|F|ED VERY MUCH

ATLANTA, Ca, July 1.-The Geor-
gia Fruit exchange. which is the CO.
operative organization of the peach
growers of the state, is particularly
gratified, according to reports today,
over the prompt sale for cash on the
cars of so great proportion of this
years crop.
1t seldom happens, as is the case
this year, that considerably more than
fifty per cent. of the peaches so far
have been sold f. 0. b. on the tracks at
the points where grown. This means
the cash money is in the hands of
the grower before the peaches begin
tc move. Out of 295 carloads OF
peaches handled by the exchange up
to Tuesday, 181 cars were sold for
cash on the tracks.
The total movement from Georgia
ur to that time was 375 cars and the
returns for the entire week viii show
q total shipment Of 700 cars UP to to-
day The fruit is now chiefly going to
the smaller markets. The markets
generally are calling for peaches.
Prices are reported satisfactory. 1t is
anticipated that the July movement
this year will be about one thousand
cars less than last year.

Atlanta Puts

Another way

ATLANTA, Ca, July 1.-The old
man embroidery expert in the world is
the greatest distinction claimed by
Roy Lee Craycraft, of this city, a
bachelor sixty years old, who lives ia
two worlds every day-one the world
Of ordinary, humdrum events; and
the other world of dreams in which
he conceives and executes beautiful
embroidery designs with a needle that
is surprisingly clever, and in which
he devotes himself with loving care to
a hot house filled with flowers.
From the beginning of the day to
the close of the day. Craycraft is en-
gagged in the unromantic business of
selling canned goods. meat, lard and
other staple and fancy groceries.
But from the beginning of the even

the rate of six a week, raising the
most lovely flowers and feasting his
imagination in works of romantic lit
