Aid to Shoppers

WOODBRIDGE, Feb. D. The
inauguration of the bus line between
halfway and Fords has met with
more than anticipated success. The

sought communication between the
leading centres of the township. 1t

the buses in the morning, the shop
pers and others who make use of
the public transportation system,
n the patronage of buses has far
exceeded the general expectation of
the enterprising company.
Leon E. McElroy, committeeman

been a material benefit to the peo-
pie here. Travellers are enabled to
make connections in Fords with the

KILLING FROST PUTSI CR|MP IN STRAWBERRY FIELDS AT TH0RSBY
Growers Report Heavy Dam ages Done by Freezing
 Weather

THORSBY, Ala, March .0.-Spe- ciaL)-With the mercury ranging several degrees below freezing all day Monday and from Is to 20 de- grees above zero Tuesday morning, the work of destruction of an early crop. of strawberries which began last Friday night by freezing tenn perature after soaking rains, was thoroughly completed. The straw berry fields of Thorsby and vicinity, to the extent of up wards of 250 acres were never more promising of big crop of fine berries than they were during the middle of last week. Now by far the most profitable half of the seasons crop, especially in quality, and early marketing, is all gone.
 The harvest though not all de- stroyed will. be belated for month and the first berries are always the best. It is estimated that the loss to Thorsby fruit and truck growers, to the number of 175, many of them making their first venture in straw berries, will be at least S25,00O be- sides the discouragement of many who will give up the industry which for the past Is years has proved on the whole money making business
 Fred Howard is the only Thorsby grower of pueaches on a somewhat extensive scale. He reports late peaches, like Elberta and Belle of Georgia. which were in full bloom, as totally ruined. while early peaches like Mayflower were not yet in bloom and are probably unhurt.
