space to publish.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins I am in the
sixth grade and will write about our town
and school, and hope TO get an answer from
you about yours.
Fort Valley. a town of 5000 people. is
| loca ted in middle Georgia, and is about 90
years. old. We are situated on two railroads
and fourteen trains pass through daily.
Fort Valley has a good school system
and a good library in town.
Our town is located in the largest peach
| growing section in the world. In Fort
Valley district there $4,000 acres in peaches
! and 100000 trees. Each summer during
peach season about 1900 outside people
needed to help us handle peaches.
| In 1921 BOO carloads shipped from
here, though usually there are about 1000
cars. Most of these go to northern and
eastern markets.
Each spring we have '"rhe Peach Blossom
Festival" In the morning there is a pa
rade Of floats from different towns. After
! that a barbecue is served, and last year
there were about $4,000 visitors. In the
afternoon historical pageant is given.
Cotton asparagus and pecans also
| grown here.
