He died of typhoid fever. When he

he being a clothing drummer for Pal

was not we'll and had not been for
some time but worked on as the year
was nearly out. His condition mad
not been considered serious for only
about week before his death. He
was a man who had many friends

PEACH SHIPPING
Car Lot Shipments to Start About
August ith-55 Cars Estimated
Shipment-Central Pacli
ing Station.
Peaches will soon be moving in car

Peaches will soon be moving in car
loads.
The earlier peaches have been on
the local market almost all week, and
many bushels have gone out by ex-
press. The price is good, and some OF
the early peaches are of exceptional
quality, especially those that were net
affected by the hail storms.
A meeting of the members of the
Peach Growers Exchange was held
Friday afternoon of last week at
which the seasons shipments were
discussed, and also the matter Of
central packing shed this year m
stead of packing in the orchard
The central packing shed method
was adopted, and this season tire
grower will pick the peaches in the
regulation bashel basket. They will
be hauled to the central packing she'd,
which will probably be the warehouses
near the depot, where they vlll be
properly culled and packed. The ad-
vantage IN this eentra shed is the
fact that buyers will have an oppor-
tunity to see exactly the kind of stock
they are getting, ard consequently the
grower will receive better pr &c.
The first grade peaches will be put up
in skies and bushels, and the seconds
in bushels only.
Il is estimated that the local ex-
change will ship 55 cars this season.
The crop this year is the cleanest ev-
er produced. and IS noticeably free
from gum and other injuries. The
recent rains have insured fine size,
and the color was never better.
a percentage of the crop was dam
aged by the hail storms of several
weeks arc, and although the peaches
are firm, the hal mark will cause
many to be graded as seconds, that
would otherwise have been fancy"
The only feature to prevent the pres
ent peach crop from being perfect IN
every detail is the slight hail injury.
Some growers anticipate that car
lot shipments VIII start about August
4th. others say a little later.
