Havelocks as a Civil Institution.

The Havelock is by no means as re-
cent an invention as many suppose. 1t
is new thing to see them worn In
this locality by any except by our
brave volunteers but for time almost
out of mind they have been patron
ICED, by the gentler. sex. The sum
bonnet so familiar to everyone as q
favorite article of head-g gear with
children, country maidens, washerwo-
men, and watering place bellies, is
nothing more or less than a Havelock
in all essential particulars, and sun
bonnets we're worn BY the grandmoth-
ers and great-grandmothers of the
present generation. General Have
lock, when he saw that his soldiers
in India were suffering with the roast
ing heat, and that the backs of their
nscks and their shoulders were blis-
tered by the suns rays, no doubt
thought of the long-caped white bon
net worn by his mothers maid when
engaged in outdoor work, and he ap-
piled the cooling fixture to tie caps
of his men. Now, why may not the
Havelock be worA By oil who are COM
PEELED to labor in the fierce glare of
the sun-worn, in fact, by all, of
whatever class, during the heat of
Summer 2 A man is as liable to suf-
fer from the heat when in citizens
dress as when wearing uniform and
if uavelock is proper thing in one
case, it canzot be improper in the
other.

Death Of Gen. Adams C. Davis.

With sorrow we announce (says the
Beacon in it's last issue the death of
Gen. Adams c. Davis, which occurred
at his residence in this place, on Wed
nesday evening of this week, (the 10th
inst.,) at II O'Clock. For several
months he had been suffering from a
softening of the brain, which finally
resulted in paralysis of the brain,
causing his dea b.
Ger. Davis was born in So
Wardsboro, Windham Co., Vermont,
on the 18th of April, 1900, and conse-
quently was 81 years, two months and
eight days old, at the time of his de-
cease. He removed to this State and
took up his residence in Pennington
several years ago. About the year
1888, he was appointed one of the
Associate Judges of the Court of
Common Please of Hunterd9n County.
In 1910, he was appointed by the
Legislature as Surrogate for Hunter
don County, which Office he held for
five years; and in lS45, he was elected
Clerk of the House of Assembly of
New Jersey. For some years, he held
the commission of Brigadier General
Of the Hunterdon Brigade, having
previously held all the commissioned
Offices below that rank excepting cap
tain. He also held from time to time
Offices of honor and trust. For the
last nine or ten years he had been in
the employ of the Belvidere and Della
ware r. r. Co., and had resided in
this town since 1855.
He had, perhaps, as large an ac-
quaintance throughout the county as
any other person that can be named,
and by all be was highly esteemed and

From KingwoOd.

DEAR Press: In taking drive ola
few miles in the county last week, /
had an opportunity of observing the
growing crops. I found the wheat
looking better than I had expected. l
saw some pieces between Baptisttown
and Pennington, that looked lemark-
ably we'll for that land, and the season;
many pieces IN Kingwood are failures.
The Oats look fine, the warm moist
weather for the past week or more has
given them fine start, with a few
more rains to help them out the crop
will be good. Glover is very short, I
saw no heavy grass, still the prospects
for hay has frightened in week or
two. saw great many replanting
their Corn; in some instances it come
up poorly owing to defective seed, and
the cold state Of the ground and
weather. In some cases where it did
come up well, the cut worm has cut it
very much, requiring replanting twice
But the corn that stood is now put
ting on the broad leaf, and dark green
appearance, indicating thrifty grow
ing state. Many fields of corn were
very much overgrown with grass, that
will require much toll to eradicate
The times are very depressing to far
mers at present, as well as others !;
Corn 49cts, Oats 25cts, and no sale at
these prices for cash. Butter is l2cts.
These prices will not remunerate the
farmer with the present high rate OF
Wages.

Another Editor Gone.

There is current report in town
this (Tuesday,) morning, that our
friend PIERsoN, of the Beacon, took
his departure, not for the seat of war,
but for the residence of fair young
lady whom he intends to promote,
comforting upon her the rank Of Mrs.
CLARK PIERsoN. We think there is
no doubt of the correctness of the re-
port, from the fact that he has been
leaning that way for some time past.
There is no disputing the courage oil
our friend PETERSON now, for an editor
who has the courage 10 get married
in such times as these, is a hero, BRAY
or than he who goes to war.

respected During his residence in
Pennington, his proverbial willingness
to give legal advice (Which he was
perfectly competent to do, to persons
unable to fee q lawyer, justly entitled
him to the name of 'the poor mans
lawyer" while the number of disputes
between neighbors which he, as arbi-
traitor, was by his peculiar tact en-
abled to settle to the satisfaction of
all parties, won for him the reputation
of q "peace maker"
By his death, the community loose
a valued citizen, and his family head
whose peculiarly affectionate and kind
disposition makes the bereavement
deeply severe.
The funeral took place on Saturday
morning last. His remains were in
tered in the burying ground adjoining
the Presbyterion Church at Fleming

The Late Storm.

1OC AAGS CSHA Mg
The Hupterdon Gazette, of last
week gives the following account of
the late storm ia that neighborhood.
"This town and vicinity, on Sunday
morning last, betgeen the hours of
eight and nine o'clock, was visited
with a violent gale, accompanied with
rain and hail, which lasted for about
fifteen minutes. After the shower we
gathered up hailstones as large as
ordinary sized hickory nuts. The
shower did not extend ia. south of
this place, but west and north of us,
we learn much damage was done to
crops and other property, by the wind
and hail together. In some localities
in this and the township of Readington
we hear that the grain is cut off
and lies upon the ground like mown
grass. In many places the corn is
completely tori. from the earth. There
is no doubt the loss in crops in this
county, in sections through which the
storm passed, is immense"
