beaten again late yesterday in the

Sumter countys peanut crop has
been heralded abroad, and the sight of
the name of his home county in
foreign print has brought a thrill to
the breast of Ernest w Zimmerman,

Lieut. Zimmerman spied paragraph
about Sumter's peanut crop. The item
did not say the county named was in
Georgia, but the first line mentioned
peanuts and the last line Americus, so
there was no mistaldng And Lieut..
Zimmerman just had to sit down and
write a note to The Times Recorder,
to accompany a copy of the Daily Mail,
so the folks at home would know how
truly worldwide was the fame of
Sumter county. Here is the item
published in column compiled from
American newspapers:
