It is estimated that tho total out put from that state will be 1,000,000 bushels more than for 1907. Approaching 4,000 car loads have already been forwarded to market, California, too, will fur­ nish a large supply. An extraordi­ nary rapid movement of the Georgia crop is being made this year. Peaches are moving from Fort Val­ ley the center of the state of Georg­ ia producing district to New York City in forty-eight hours, Only a few years ago it required one week for Georgia peaches to get to New York, most of the shipping then bo- ing byboat. By reason of tho de­ velopment of the refrigerator car and tho quick movement of “ per­ ishable freight” trains, growers in any part of the country nr* finding t possible to place their product in fine condition at the most favorable markets. t COUNClt MEETS. owing t* tho primary election Monday evening there was no meet­ ing of tho village legislative body.

The plant will in all probability he located at the Clifton flour mill, where the owner, I. B- Preston, will furnish the water power. The contract has not been closed but satisfactory terniB have been reached, a new water turbm will be placed that will afford abundance of power. It is thought that water power can be used at least- eight months of the year on an average though of late years* there has been ■water sufficient to operate the year around. - . The greatest expense in operating an electric light plant is the pro­ duction of power. It coal had to be used it is claimed that- the local company could not realize a very decent rate of interest on their in- vestimnt. ° However an emergency steam power plant will be equipped and kept in readiness should anything, happen the plant at Clifton. There will be two heavy insulated cables connecting Cllftcffi and Cedarville, carrying a voltage at about 2,300. A transformer at the local plant will regulate the lights for the streets and commercial purposes. It is possible that an.all day service can be arranged so that electric power could be used for operating electric fans in the business houses, homes, etc. The uses of- electricity are many and within the next few years will be a necessity in almost every home. Mr. Preston at present has a plant for his private use. His mill and dwelling.is lignted with electricity while the residence is heated. . The local company wi%also enter the Clifton field and ask for a fran­ chise for commercial and street lighting.
