IF I WERE ONLY YOU.
If I were you. I whispered to the sun,
I’d throw a few more sunbeams on
the grass;
For know you not that ere the day is
done
My lady down the meadow lands will
pass?
And seeing that you reign aloft alone,
There in eso many things that you
might do;
Shake myriads of sunbeams from your
throne,
Or sweep tne hazy sky from gray to
blue.
If I were you, I murmured to the stream
That wound its twisted way to find
the sen,
I'd leave in every nook a tinted dream
That one who p issad might stay
awhile with me.
Oh, river, sunlight, summer, shadows,
trees.
There are so many things that I m ould
I do
- Such congs I’d utter to the morning

If I were you—if I were only you!

Carload of Fruit From Spalding.
The danger period for fruit, as
far as frost is concerned, has now
been passed, and the season’s'fruit
crop is sufficiently advanced to ad
mit of something like a reliable es
timate of what it will be,
H. W. H'tssetkug. the veteran
fruitgrower, said yesterday that
there might be a carload of fruit
shipped from Spalding county this
year, but not more, and this will all
be shipped in small lots by express.
He says there is considerable fruit
scattered in different localities in
this section, which will be used for
home consumption and peddled
around.
At least half a crop of peaches will
be made in the Fort Valley and
Marshallville district. J. H. Baird,
superintendent of the Hale Orchard
Company at Fort Valley, has writ
ten”that the outlook for peaches at
this time is that at least a half crop
or better will be made in the Fort
Valley and Marshallville district
Mr. Baird writes that the fruit in
his section has been well protected
for some reason, and it has not
suffered so much as it has in most
of the districts in other sections of
the State. Mr. Baird’s letter is de
cidedly encouraging, and coming as
it does from the manager of one of
the largest and most successful or
chards in Georgia it is bound to
give the pessimists who have been I
predicting no fruit a fit.
The Albany Herald says that
peaches had some close calls in
Southwest Georgia in April, there
being two or three light frosts
during the month, but the fruit
was not killed. A small percentage
ot the peach blooms were killed,
out there is a fair crop of young
peaches on the trees today. The
pear trees are also showing an
average crop of fruits, and plums
and berries generally appear to be
unimpaired.
Unless some disaster comes be
tween now and the time for the
fruit to mature, there will be a fair
crop ot peaches and other fruits
down in Southwest Georgia.
A Little Early Riser
now and then, at bedtime will cure
constipation, biliousness and liver
troubles. DeWitt’s Little Early
Risers are the famous little pills
that cure by arousing the secretions,
moving the bowels gently, yet ef
fectively, and giving such tone
and strength to the glands of file
stomach and liver that the cause
ot the trouble is removed entirely,
and if their use is continued for a
f. i w days, there will be no return of
the com plaint. Sold by T. J. Brooks.
