Begin Shipping
Peaches Heavily
in This Section
Although the loading of peaches
Began the first part of the week, the
first car was shipped from Mt. Plea-
sant Wednesday, and the shipments
will now begin in earnest.
A second car was almost loaded by
Wednesday night, and the fruit is
now coming in rapidly. The price
for the first car was in the neigh-
gorhood of $1.50 per bushel. Besid-
es the second car, two others were
iced Thursday, making three ready
for loading.
Five other cars, were initial iced
for other towns nearby late Wednes-
day afternoon. These cars go to
Winfield, Sulphur Springs, Saltillo,
Omaha and Pittsburg to receive the
fruit at those places.
From reports coming in about the
•crop in the section where hail fell
■early in the Spring, the estimate of
the number of cars in Titus county
has been lowered, and it is thought
that there will not be more than forty
cars. ^

than the cost of operating such
trains. The cost of operation dur-
ing the months of January, February
and March, 1925, was shown to av-
erage 58c per train per mile for the
lull distance between Greenville and
Shreveport, and, separately, 59c per
train mile for that portion of the
line between Pittsburg and Shreve-
port during the same period. For
the full line between Greenville and
Shreveport during this period the
earnings from passengers only were
37c for train 3 and 32c for train 4,

The Confederate veterans of Mr.
Pleasant are anxious to find out who
is responsible for the breaking of one
of the four marble cannon balls on
the corners of the monument located
on the southeast corner of the
square. One of these balls was
broken in two pieces with a
hammer or some heavy instrument
Friday night, July 3rd, and whoev-'
er hr Ice it also tried to break the
other three. The veterans ask that
all of the citizens of the city make an
effort to find out who did the act, and
a substantial reward will be pai;l
the one who makes the discovery. It
is thought that someone from anoth-
er town who attended the early
morning dance at that time is re-
sponsible. Whoever it was, should be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law.
WATER SITUATION
STILL UNCHANGED
Nothing has been done about tho
water situation, except cause a lob of
talk, and from the present outlook
this is all that will happen unless the
taxpayers assert themselves and de-
mand that the- city officials take
some steps to relieve the situation.
It ’s the taxpayers who will have to
pay for all the improvements of any
city, and no one has the right to say
they are not entitled to something
more palatable through the water
1 mains than they are now getting.
