Many a soft drink is hard to get by
the fellow who hasn't the price.
The moth-ball game is now a very
popular one with housekeepers.
It is a sure sign it is going to rain
when some one swipes your umbrella.
People find so many more excuses
for themselves than they can for their
friends.
It is hard to tell which is the worst
a woman that is jealous, or the
man that isn't.
Everybody can tell when a man is
in love long before he begins to
realize it himself.
Most girls think an engagement
ring is the best thing to "have on
hand" all the time.
There are a good many people who
have no trials of their own who at
tend those of others.
Wishes he had the duty to pay.
Anybody can be good for awhile.
Staying good is the thing.
We wager a Buffalo-Indian nickle
that the man who is always telling
how to manage a woman never tried
it.
The fellow subject to income tax,
Grumbles and growls in a fretful
way;
While the fellow who the income
lacks,
When the housewife begins to
move things around, and throw out
the rugs, there is one of two things
for hubby to do beat them, or "beat
it."
Science is engaged in evolving a
stingless bee. We've had some of
them all the time. The drone. What
we want science to evolve is a voice
less cat.
There is a perfectly safe rule,
If you'd keep off the rack;
If you've anything to tell a mule,
Don't tell it behind his back.
Lillian Russell says that nothing
can change the shape of the nose.
What is Lillian going to do with
those people who are always turning
their noses up?
In the case of the Arkansas man
.vhose skull was trepanned with a
hammered out dollar, it is an assured
fact that he will have to go through
life with money on the brain.
We are told that the Countess
D'Lasteyic has bagged fourteen goats,
shooting with her left hand. Good
shot! But most people over in this
country have their goats dropped
down right into their arms.
An election bet is to be paid by a
man leading a donkey from Portland,
Me., to Portland, Ore. Some men
have an apt and fitting knack of
choosing an appropriate and suitable
compansion for a journey.
When a man's wife backs up to
him early in the morning, with arms
akimbo, it is no sign that there is to
be a family row. She just wants her
hubby to button the shirtwaist up the
back the places she cannot reach.
The photoplay reels have many in
teresting pictures wound around
them. But they have not the vivid,
exciting and imaginary pictures that
are around the fishing reel, when it
is taken down for a jaunt to the river
banks. ,
A fellow at Ashland, Va.f found a
safety pin in a boiled egg, and the
Harrisburg News wants to know
"what in the world did the old hen
want with a safety pin." She want
ed to pin her faith to the freshness
of her lay, honey.
The turtle is to take its place
alongside of the cow -that is, if Dr.
Friedman's vaccine virus is establish
ed to do all that is claimed for it.
"The path to the creek bank looks
awful invitin',
So grab your fishpole for the big
trout are bitin.
Oh, there's life in the blossoms with
fragrance unfurled,
Joy in the heart and it's such a good
world."
A spring cold has one advantage
to the person whose nose will persist
in running, and turning red. ( It
brings to the possessor so much ad
vice, and such a variety of cures nev
er heard of before, which can be tried
between sniffles and sneezes. But
you will most generally find that some
of these remedies are "not to be
sneezed at," however.
How About the Fruit Crop?
Although it may at this date (April
30) be a little premature to forecast
the probable fruit crop for the State
of North Carolina for the year 1913,
one cannot but note with interest as
the days and weeks go by, its prog
ress toward the period of safety.
From its records of the last thirty
years the weather bureau has placed
April 20 as the average date of the
last killing frost in spring for the
general fruit region of North Caro
lina. Most of our fruit sections have
safely passed that date, although a
few have suffered somewhat from un
favorable local conditions, especially
from cold, blasting winds. Injurious
cold spells have occurred here as late
as May 10; so we are not yet entirely
out -of danger, though the risk rap
idly lessens with each passing day.
The bloom on nearly all kinds of
fruit this spring was exceptionally
heavy, and the possibilities were
there for as large a crop as we had
last year. The season opened earlier
than usual, and pears and peaches
came into bloom sooner than is usu
al for this part of the country. A
season of cool, dry weather followed,
with sharp frosts. In many sections
pears suffered so severely that grow
ers did not consider it worth while to
make a second spraying. Peaches on
lower lands suffered severely and
have left only a remnant of a crop.
On higher mountain lands and in
sheltered coves, many peach orchards
seem to have escaped and at present
show a fine set of fruit. In the east
the set of peaches seems on the aver
age to be better than in the western
part of the State. If cold, dry or
windy weather is prevalent for the
next week or two the "May drop"
may reduce the present peach pros
pects in many sections. The peach
outlook at Southern Pines, owing to
winter injury to the trees during
the last two seasons, is not as favor
able as could be hoped. The Candor
region, however, seems to have es
caped, and the prospect there is re
ported as being very favorable.
Apple trees were not out of bud
during the early cold spell, and so
escaped injury from cold. In some
parts, however, they were injured by
heavy winds during blossoming time.
On the whole, the apple prospects
seem to be pretty favorable over the
whole State, though not by any
means up to what we had last year.
The strawberry crop has suffered
severely this season from dry weath
er and repeated cold spells. For this
reason the quality of the fruit is not
up to the average, and the total crop
will likely be many cars short of what
is considered an average crop.
Beans, potatoes and other early
truck crops were badly nipped in
many sections of eastern Carolina by
two sharp frosts last week, though
in some sections, owing to condi
tions hard to account for, little in
jury has been shown. State Horti
