Peaches.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad people
Will have their hands full this year in
properly moving the great peach crop
BOW assured against everything but the
June drop. Even this will not be likely
to reduce the yield as the trees cannot
properly mature a fifth of the peaches
that are now hanging on, Times are
dull all over the country aud fancy
prices for peaches are not looked for
by growers but if prices are to
be obtained in the face of the
hard times sufficiently large t. leave the
grower anything at all the fruit must be
scattered as it never Was before. The
Pennsylvania Railroad can do this as no
other road in the country can. If they so
wish to. We often have much complaint
10 offer in the way this great corporation
ignores the public, but it is plain to even
their enemies that theirs is a wonderful
railroad. We trust they will open every
market East of the Mississippi River to /
the peach growers this year and cross the |
river, too, to St. Louis. If this is done |
all OF the peaches grown will be shipped
Out II prices are so low as to take all for
expenses then growers will let much of
The fruit rot on the trees. 1t is to the in
crest of the Pennsylvania people to open
Jew markets tor us and we trust they will
zee it in this light As 10 cars we very
much fear there will be a scarcity Mil II

There is more Catarrh in this section of

posed to be iucurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, aud by con.
stautlY falling 10 cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has pro.
ven catarrh to be a constitutional disease
