lers find this route to the city much pre-
ferable to the dusty cars.
SHELL LIME-Attention is called to the |
ad. of this superior fertilizer in another
column. 1t is just the thing to act on
clover sod being turned under for Fall |
seeding. The judicious use of lime and
clover is the basis Of good farming and |
will do more for the permanent improve
ment of land than a like amount of money
expended in almost any other way. Bear
this in mind and send in your orders and
you will continne to use Shell Lime, after
giving it fair trial. Col. II. c. Douglass
is agent for Clayton and Smyrna.
THE BLACKBIRD CAMP has been pro-
crossing finely, good order, large attend
ance and spirited meetings. The slight
rain of Sunday morning doubtless inter-
fered with a number who contemplated
going, but the attendance in the after
noon and evening was large. Revs. Messrs.
Morell of Camden, N. j., preached in the
morning, Wiley in the afternoon and
Bell at night. The attendance on the
preaching, which has been mainly by the
preachers from surrounding charges, has
been good. The camp, it is understood,
will break on Friday.
