PEACH FESTIVAL
A GREAT SUCCESS
THOUSANDS OF VISITORS ARE
GUESTS OF FIT. VALLEY FOR
MONSTER CELEBRATION.

FORT VALLEY, Ga.-The Peach
Blossom Festival held here Thursday
surpassed the fondest hopes OF its
most enthusiastic supporters.
Upward of $4,000 people from all
sections of Georgia and many from
other states assembled here to cele-
brate the blossoming OF the peach
trees, one of the main industries OF
this section of Georgia and this year
an added feature was the expression
OF JOY that the crop escaped serious
damage in the recent cold wave.
The celebration was opened IN the
morning with a monster parade IN
which were entered gorgeously deco
rated floats depicting the various in
dustries of the state, as well as spe-
cial floats entered by the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, the Savannah
Board OF Trade and the Macon Cham
Der of Commerce.
Immediately after the parade an adj
dress was delivered by u. ). Senator
Walter F. George.
At noon was served an old-fashion-
ed Georgia barbecue, probably the
largest ever served Three miles OF
tables, set to accommodate $4,000
persons, were spread out over the
landscape. Seven hundred gallons OF
brunswick stew, familiarly known as
South Georgia" was placed at the
disposal of the guests, as well as 22,-
900 pounds of barbecue and 1000 gall
Ions of coffee. The coffee was served
from modern street sprinkler.
The barbecue pits were half a mile
lon. Two hundred and fifty hogs, ten
cows and ten sheep were cooked.
The celebration was brought to a
fitting close in the afternoon with the
presentation of the pageant, "Geor--
gia's Growing Glory" by several
hundred of south Georgia's most beau
tiful women.

THE PNEUMONIA MONTH.

March is a typical pneumonia month
and usually gives a high rate Of NOR
tality for the disease. After a long and
hard winter the system loses much OF
its resistance and people grow care
less. When every cold, no matter how
slight. is given prompt and intelligent
attention there is much less danger
of pneumonia. 1t should be borne in
mind that pneumonia is "a germ dis
ease and breeds in the throat. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is an expec-
torant and cleans out the germ laden
ed mucus and not only cures a cold
but prevents its resulting in penumo-
MIA. 1t is pleasant to take. Children
take it willingly-adv.

Dangerous Season Suggests This Pre-

Many aristoCratic dogs of Paris
wear galoshes this year, for the wealth
er has been wet and dangerous to the
health of pampered pets. These ga
loshes are more like snow boots; each
fastens with two buttons. The nui-
sance of two pairs of galoshes every
time he goes out makes them unpopu-
lar among the Toutons. Besides, the
ill-bred street dogs stare so; some OF
them are rude enough to growl.

HIGH WATERS OF SOUTH
PLATTE RIVER RECEDING::
NEW BRIDGE NOW OPEN
Water Washes Out Small Portion of East Side of
New Fill But Is Quickly Repaired; Formal
Opening of New Bridge Will Be Held With
Fitting Ceremonies Next Wednesday After
noon, June 27
The danger of the high water at
Julesburg apparently is over.

The danger of the high water at
Julesburg apparently is over.
The flood waters reached the peak
here last Thursday afternoon at four
o'clock. the mark reached being four
feet, this being about six inches be-
low the high water mark Of June,
1921.
The water backed up against the
east side of the new fill, doing some
damage in washing out portion Of
the east side of the embankment at
the north end. A force of men was
put to work and the concrete on top
of the old bridge was thrown against
the fill as reinforcement, which
served to hold the balance of the
structure intact.
The high water began to recede
Saturday and by Sunday evening it
had lowered sixteen inches from the
peak reached Thursday. Another
raise came Tuesday night, this latter
raise coming to within four inches
of the high mark reached the previous
raise. Wednesday night the water
again began to recede, lowering about
three inches during the night. and to-
day Thursday the water is gradu-
ally lowering. No more raises are
anticipated.
