fruit. The shipment of them from TIL
station is daily on the increase and il
another week from three to five car load
of them will be the average daily ship
ment. The best of opportunities arr
afforded by the Railroad Company To-
their shipment, and most of the farmers
in this vicinity are taking advantage o
it. We learn from our station agent tina
/ the train with which the peach cars from
this station go TO Jersey City, arrives
at the latter place every night long before
midnight, and mostly by 1890 o'clock
thus affording every advantage for un
'aouaiug rnem in plenty OF time for the
morning markets. Those of our farmers
living in this vicinity, who ship from
other stations. will do we'll to give the p.
r. r. Co. trial.
The churches were poorly attended last
Sabbath on account of the inclemency OF
the weather.
We have had number of cool nights
during the past week. Vennor's predict
ion Of frost in every month of this year,
is likely to prove true one. One morn
| ing, a week or so ago, frost was seen by
several persons in this vicinity.
Watermelons, cantaloupes, &C., have
made their appearance In our town, and the
admirers of them devour the pulpy fruit
with relish. They promise to be un-
usually cheap this season. II. r. Brewer
is the man who sells the best for the
cheapest price.
A few days more and the Summer of

farmer can look with delight upon the

bountiful crops of grain that he was per-
mitted to gather, by the merciful blessings
of kind Providence. At the beginning
of Spring the grass and grain had an un-
promising look, but the gentle rains and
warm sunshine have caused them to
spring up as il from deaden roots, and
when harvest time came, the farmer could
rejoice in fair, average crop of them.
Although the corn crop looks not as fay-
orable for an extra crop as it did month
ago, yet the rain of last Sabbath may do
it much more good than is expected.
Taking the crops altogether, the farmers
should be thankful for so favorable a
season and so abundant harvests.
DIR. C. w. Larson, we are glad to
learn. is slowly improving, and may be
able to get around in week or so, unless
some unfavorable change takes place. His
hand is still In bad condition.
Fair time is near at hand and we hear
many of our citizens conversing about our
County Fair. We have no doubt but
that our town will be full of " fast
horses after the Fair. As it is we can
boast of few fine steppers.
The strong wind that accompanied the
rain last Sabbath, levelled nearly to the
ground many fields of fine corn in this
vicinity. We have heard of but little
damage being done to the peach trees and
peaches.
Owing to Dir. c. W.. Larson's sickness,
the Fall term of the Academy of Science
and Art has not begun as yet, We have
not learned what arrangements have been
made concerning it. This is an institu-
tion of Thorough, practical work, and
cannot help but give the best of instruct
ion to its students.
Politics is beginning to rage around
here Candidates for the nomination for
Assembly are busy working up their own
interests in their party. We predict a
lively time among them. Several of our
prominent politicians seem puzzled in re-
gard to what view to take regarding
Harris nomination. He has some
warm friends and supporters, but there
are many who are opposed to him, but
wo believe the most of them will pull into
predict Republican success in this Con-
gressional district this Fall, provided a
popular and honest Republican is nom-
mated by his party. Let the Republicans
seize this opportunity for success, and
give the Fourth District of New Jersey a
Representative in Congress in the person
of true, honest and loyal Republican.
1t can be done, and nothing should keep
the party from doing it.
A great deal Of freight is being handled
at the station at this place. The switch
is occupied most of the time with cars.
Truly this is business place. i r
Vacation season is nearing its end and
the small children begin to look very
sober and earnest as they think of the
school room and the books, over which
they W i'll have to spend hours Of study in
learning the knowledge they contain. AS
their minds wander away from the
thoughts of vacation, they will be attract
ed to the scenes of Christmas and the
pretty toys common to that season. Many
a child will labor industriously aud be
very mindful Of its parents sayings, in
anticipation OF beautiful Christmas
present. .Et PoP.
