Dear Mr. Harris:
I have previously written you that Mr. Waldron ar.d Frof. Lillebric'ge were in Eu-
rope and were there for the purpose of securing the services of different musicians.
We are this morning in receipt of a cablegram announcing that he has clcsed a five
years' contract with Leopold Gcdowsky, who assumes the position as Editor-in-Chief.
I enclose copy of the cablegram.
This is great news. No other man in the world occupies a more prominent position,

SHIPMENTS OF
PEACHES STARTS
Four cars of peaches have been
shipped this week, and it is expect-
ed that some eight or ten will go for-
ward next week. Most all cars are
sold on track while here, and are
bringing good prices. The four
cars that went out this week, two
were sent to Tulsa and two to Chi^
cago.
The peaches this year are of aw
especially good quality, aud more
attention is being paid to the pack-
ing and shipping than at any time
In the past. The orchard of R. E.
Rogers a few miles southeast of
town is furnishing quite a lot of t
fruit. Mr. Rogers has twelve hun
dred trees, and FTiey are all bearing
well.
Peaches are being sold on the'
streets at prices ranging from $1.0^
to 35 cents per bushel. The very'
best grade being sold at fl.10,
while the more inferior, the bruiBed'
and fruit that is not fit for ship -
ment or anything other than "cob-
bler" and canning purposes are be-
i ng sold for 35 cents. Fifty cents Is
the market price for the regular
grade of peaches, and the supply will
be great enough to fulfill the de-
mand.
