THE PEACH IN ANOTHER AsrECr.-The
peach takes its departure with this week.
There was much anxiety about it's start and
concern about its growth, but it braved the
June shedding and sting of the Curcuio
and developed into an unusually healthy
| and perfect life. Its coming with some was
more than welcome-it was necessary
visitor. 1t relieved the wrinkled and care
worn brow that sheriff's visit might have
deepened. 1t has furnished the means to
meet obligations of various kinds and with
others, much desired improvements can be
effected. Labor has been in full demand
and with the exception Of few decrepid
women, there should be few or no demands
for charity in our community. While
itself demanding excessive labor it is a
health promoter when eaten in its luscious
state, just ready to drop from the tree. We
yesterday congratulated Col. Geo. w. Cum.
Minis on being through with the worry, eX-
posure and fatigue of marketing a large
crop Of peaches. Why, my dear sir" he
said, "you do not know what you are talk
ing about. When | commenced on my
peach crop six weeks ago the summer
) drowsiness left me, much of the time | was
not in bed until after midnight (the
business minltiG of every day being en-
tered before returning) and up in the
morning at four o'clock, and yet" said he,
81 !have gained six pounds Clipping the
, beam at 204), and never felt better in my
life." To the healthful action of the peach
. in keeping the system in order must be the
, cause of the good health in such exposures
, to sun and weather, and Mr.. e. may be
: right in thinking excursions are not neces
sary to the public health-especially in the
peach season.
