Something Better Than the Old Saw.
The saying about the lion and the lamb
in March often proves false, but there is
another and better one which is literally
true. When March comes in and finds

pect, when it goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling and with
none of the boils, pimples and eruptions
which manifest themselves because OF i'm

begin to-day. We assure you it will make

TALK ABOUT PEACHES.
PROJECTS For a Good Peach Crop The
Coming Season the Brightest For the
Last Four Years.

Loot WI iSai
From the present indications, this pen
insula will have one of the best peach
crops the coming season that it has had for
several years past. The past winter has
been an excellent one for the peach trees.
The weather has been cold, which has kept
the trees from budding, and unless there
comes a very warm spell, causing the trees
to bud, and then it becomes very cold
again, it is almost certain that there will
be a good crop.
There are some growers who believe
peaches Of fine quality will sell for 81 q
basket They base this opinion on prices
in previous years coupled with the good
times now prevailing.
If there is a good crop of peaches and
they bring 80 cents basket the effect on
business will be felt all over the Peninsula.
crop of 100000 baskets of peaches
would be only an ordinary crop, yet it
would mean 81 900, 900 distributed among
the people Of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore Of Maryland. In addition to this
the peach buyers would pay thousands of
dollars to steamboat and railroad lines for
transportation charges in addition to the
prices paid for peaches, and much of this
would come back to the people because it
would be paid out for additional labor and
equipment. Peach basket makers would
also be busy, and this would give employ
ment to numerous people.
