A Song That Was Dreamed.
Written for the Gazette.]
“By and by a ship will go past you
Into harbor, into the town;
See that her helm goes not by you,
Going utterly down.”
O, if I heed not her calling,
Think of the men who will drown!
Shall I for the lack of a warning
’Gainst the rocks that lie near the shore,
Suffer the cargo to perish,
Nor bring them to Christ evermore?
O, Father, teach me the meaning
Of this strange, wild dream of my heart.
Who is it I must call to the Master,
Klsoever from them to part?
O, brother, come quickly to Jesus,
The rocks then will he safely past.
Do you not see your deliverer?
Then safety and glory at last.

To Fruit Growers.
You are respectfully requested to i build
attend the meeting of the Georgia! They utilize the phosphoric acid and
land and suffer the deterioration of
the soil caused by a growth of crab-
grass of sufficient density to make
good hay. Crab-grass is not of tho
class of plants which feed on air,
like the legumes, hence what plant
food it gets comes directly from tho
soil and makes no better or more nu
tritions hay than pea vines, which do
not exhaust the soil a particle, but
build it up instead, if tho stubble i3
turned under after cutting off the
tops.
Cow peas and other plants which
bear their seeds in a pod have the
capacity to gather and store nitrogen,
the most costly of plant foods, from
the air, and this is why pea vines,
clover, beggar weed and cuckle burs,

Fruit Grower’s Association to be held
in Atlanta, Ga., on Tuesday, Novem
ber the 12th, at 10, a ni, in the hall
of the Chamber of Commerce. Ques
tions of vital importance to the fruit
growing interests of this State must
be discussed and acted upon. It is
needless to say that on account of
various causes, the past most bounti
ful crop, was not as profitable to the
growers, as it should lnve been: the
causes underlying this fact will be
ferreted out and such measures ns the
Convention may deem wise adopted
and arrangements made to carry them
into effect. •
Among the problems that must be
considered at this meeting are those
ot railroad rates and service, refrig
eration, improved metliods of market
ing and distributing the crop, the
auction system, standard packages and
many other important subjects. Wc
confidently rely npon the attendance
of yourself and your neighbors who
are interested in fruit growing, and
trust that you will formulate some
plan to submit to the Convention that
will assist us in correcting the evils
complained of. The presence of
every fruit grower in the state is earn
estly solicited whether a member of
Association or not.

Robt. (1. Ingersol was colonel of
the Eleventh Illinois regiment of
Volunteers during the war. Last
Thursday lie went out to his old
home, met the veterans, and made
the main address which had this senti
mental and striking opening:
“It gives me tho greatest pleasure
to meet again thoso with whom I be

It is now afternoon. The sun of
life is slowly sinking in the west, and
before tho evening comes nothing
can Vie more delightful than to see,

When I knew you the hair was
brown; now it is white. Tho marks
were not quite so deep and the eyes
were not quite so dim; and mingled
with this pleasure is sadness, sadness

or to have it put through. Of course
there are those higher in authority
than these gentlemen, those who
must move in the matter, if the work
is to be accomplished, but it is entirly
rcrsonablc to assume that these high
er officials will be governed, to some
extent, at least in matters of detail,
by those who are immediately upon
the ground and who knoAl the Situ
ation. These gentlemen —those
high in authority—know that they
have a valuable franchise in this
projected road,and with a local hoard
to urge its building, as will be the
case, thero are strong reasons for be
lieving that the lino will he built, and
at no distant day. Tho fact that the

Dyspepsia for Twcnty*fl ve Years.
Mr. A. Y. Sheilts, Kingston, Ga.,
says, May 31st, 1895: “Iwos troubled
with Dyspepia for twenty-five years,
and could get no permanent relief
from any treatment of medicine un
til I began the use of King’s Royal
Germateur, some five years ago. Tt
gave me great relief, and after the
lapse of five years,! can recommend it
as the best medicine I Know of for
Indigestion and dyspepsia.” This
case is but one out of thousands
which prove that for indigestion,
dyspepsia, and all stomach troubles,
Germateur cures when till else fails.
