A lady correspondent writing from Dalton, says, that fruits grow so easy that everybody has thousands, therefore no one needs to buy. Thousands of bushels of peaches and apples rot on the ground.

It is not likely to be so long, as that section is rapidly seeing the advantages of a consuming as well as a producing class. She says :

"This section is struggling bravely to keep abreast with the spirit of the age, and in its schools and colleges, its cotton mills, factories and many varied industries, agricultural and mechanical, displays commendable activity and earnestness in the march of progress. Its native wealth is great, and when its vast mineral resources are developed, and its mines of gold and silver, of iron, manganese, coal, stone, talc, etc., are made to yield up their treasures to man, and every vale and hilltop and mountain side shall ring with the glad notes of thrift and prosperity, then shall a glorious destiny be realized by this sweet summer land of Georgia".
