result of this view that the

off we go to the doctor, no

suffer all sorts of pains in
the stomach. We endure
much from the torpid liver.

FINE GRtRGIA PEACHES
LARGEST AND ITANDSONlEST
CROP IN THE HISTORY OF THAT

LARGEST AND HANDsoMEsT
CROP IN THE HISTORY OF THAT
STATE.
1T is perhaps not generally known
that now is the time to buy peaches
for canning, preserving, etc, from a
of quality, as well as econ
omy," remarked a commission mer-
chant yesterday. Georgia has the
largest and handsomest crop in its
history. The quality of the fruit is ex-
cellent. California had an exceeding
ly light supply; practically none will
come from delaware; there is a third
OF a crop in Pennsylvania and western.
Maryland, and an insignificant one
both in quantity and quality to come
from New Jersey. Between fifty and
sixty cars of Georgia peaches are ar
riving daily, and at prices within a
few cents of freight and packing
carges."
The blackberry season is about over.
Luscious berries have been sold as low
as five cents per quart.
Only a few currants and cherries are
arriving, the former selling at five and
seven cents per quart, the latter at
fifty cents per ten-pOund baskets,
mostly old-fashioned English morellos,
and they never were finer.
The plum crop is light. Pears will
be in fair supply, and apples are very
promising. "A large crop Of grapes lice
before us, with plenty Of oranges and
lemons to follow from California.

GREAT BLOW TO BRIDGETON
THE CUMBERLAND NAIL WORKS
IN THE RECEIVERS HANDS.

Bridgeton, July 27.-The Cumberland
Nail and Iron Company, after a long
struggle, went into the hands OF re-
ceiver yesterday.

John Smalley as receiver. Half a
million dollars worth Of property is

tates of the chief officers. The mort
cages against the plant amount to

The number Of hands employed has
been as high as 500. with an annual
payroll Of 100000.
For a number of years past the
works have not been very successfully
operated. cut nails being superseded so
largely by wire nails.
The interest on their bonds is paid
up, and all the employees were paid on
in full a week ago to-day, and paid off
indefinitely
The capital stock of the company is
$500, 600. but there is a large floating
debt, the paper OF which is rapidly ma
turing, which is the immediate cause
OF the appointment Of a receiver.
This concern was for many years the
banner mandatory of the town; il
had no factory store or anything of the
kind, and it's men were always paid
their wages promptly in cash.
The downfall of the concern is a sad
blow to the city.
