I visited the camp of soldiers at Lithia last week.  The rough and tumble made
me think of old times.  While there met my old friend, J L CLAY, of Paulding. 
He had sold Uncle Sam 2,000 pounds of onions.  Also our friend, Wash JAMES, who
has the contract of supplying them with wood and the famous Bowden water.

While at Lithia, we had a conversation with Mr Eli MEDLOCK on the life of the
fruit trees.  He stated that there is now living a peach tree, in Jackson
county, in his grandfather's orchard that is 55 years old, still bearing healthy
fruit.  He says he ate fruit off of it when 4 years old and his is now 59.  In
regard to the fruit tree, he got there Eli.
