MONTEZUMA BANKER
SEES PROSPERITY AHEAD

MONTEZUMA, March 10.-A pc
riod of unprecedented prosperity for
this section is the prediction of, W.
L. Mckenzie, president of the Cltl-
zens National Bank, and one of the
leading peach growers of this sec
ton. Mr.. Mckenzie has made care
full study of the peach situation since
his recent return from Cuba, and
states that while the severe cold of .
few weeks ago killed some of the
buds, he believes no real harm was
done, as it is impossible for the tree
to mature all the blooms.
He considers the boil weevil a
friend rather than an enemy OF the
South.
'Instead of one money crop-cot-
ton-we have now," he declares,
"many money crops, cotton, peaches.
asparagus, melons and Eve stock
Having opportunity as president
of one of the leading banks of this
section to feel the general financial
pulse, he states that business men
are doing business on a saner, more
solid basis than has been the case
for years, and that the farmers are
in the best shape they have ever been
in.
Though the trees are not yet in
bloom peach buyers are already on
the ground bidding for the crop and
cotton buyers are offering 25c a
pound for fall delivery of cotton. /
may be too optimistic" he concluded
"but I look for several years of un-
precedented prosperity. 1t looks good
to me-"
