The heat has been excessive for the
past few days, and indicates The appear
ance of another hot wave. After the
cool and pleasant weather we experienced
week or so ago, this extreme heat is not
very pleasant or agreeable visitor.
A light. gentle rain fell last Friday
night. More of it would have been
thankfully received,
Watermelons are plentiful and are
cheap.
Peaches are ripening quite fast and the
shipments of them from this place, this
week, win be large,
Mr.. L. Meyers, son-in-law of Mrs.
Shepherd, widow of the late Peter shep-
herd, deceased, has purchased tho farm
lately owned and occupied by Thomas
Farley, situated about one mile north of
our village. 1t contains about 90 acres of
land and the price was $4,000.
A telephone was placed several weeks
ago in the station at this place, by the
p. r. r. Co. 1t is used by the agent
exclusively for railroad business and is
valuable addition to the Office, especially
during the peach season. The Company
has taken special pains to afford the
farmers in this vicinity the best of ad-
vantages for the shipment of their peaches
from this station, and are hound to give
satisfaction.
The public school opened this morning.

The Presbyterian Sabbath School pro-
poses to held picnic in Mr.. A. T..
Willamson's woods, near Unionville,
Saturday, Sept. 8. The question of hold
ing this picnic has been talked of for
some time, and after the earnest endeav
ors of few who greatly favored it, it has
been decided to give the children and
school day of enjoyment in the woods.
These pic-nics, so extremely popular and
enjoyable few years ago, have become
in this vicinity something uncommon and
unusual 1t was formerly thought that
picnic in the summer, was rather me-
cessary thing for Sabbath school, bat
neglect and want of interest have caused
them TO become an unusual occurrence.
We trust Saturday will be fair day and
that all, old as we'll as young, may enjoy
an old fashioned time at = Sabbath
School picnic.
Our honorable and worthy Hunterdon
County Board of Frceholders partook of
dinner at our popular hotel, last Satur-
day. We understand that they had been
viewing bridge near Nevius' Mills, with
an intention of building new one if
needed at that place. Several Of our
prominent Democratic candidates for the
nomination for Assembly seemed to get
wind of their presence in town, and in
short time were on hand, making them
selves familiar and as pleasant as possible.
Truly, they were 80 glad 10 see them, +"
and before many minutes passed apprised
them of their candidacy for the Assembly
nomination. This was indeed happy
time to them, and the art of polite ETH
quette was practised to an alarming de-
gree. The fight is waging hotter and
hotter, and ere long the height of the bat
tie W i'll be reached. AS East Amwell has
the choice of nominee in the Democratic
party, let her give the LIST Assembly Dis
trict of Hunterdon a fair, honest candi
date and then let the Republicans show
them what they can do. Since the re-
districting of the county, the Republicans
have a chance for victory. We hope that
they will not allow amy opportunity for
success topass by.
Now that school has re-opened, the
stores and public places of the village
/ will not be crowded with the small boys
during the day, much to the delight Of
the proprietors Of these places.
Several Of the commission merchants of
New York city are exerting every possible
influence in trying to persuade the farm
ers to ship their peaches on the Central
and Bound Brook Railroads. They have

avoid the truth and tell deliberate false
hoods. They have tried to make some of
the farmers believe that the train carrying
their peaches did not arrive for several
nights, until late in the morning. The
agent of the p. r. r. at this place has
taken special pains to find out the truth
concerning this matter, and has been no.
titled by the Supt of the Company, that
the peach train on the Belvidere Division
reaches Jersey City every night before
midnight. and thus far has reached there
before II p. M. II the peaches are not
removed till late In the morning, 1t is the
fault and neglect of the commission mer-
chants. If these merchants are not
friendly toward the p. r. R., whatever
they do let them act honorably and stick
to The truth. The p. r. r. have prom
ised to have the peaches at Jersey City by
midnight, and they are honorable enough
to fulfill their promises.
DR.. @. w. Larson is improving each
day, and we hope he will soon be able to
get around again. as,s ,ag a.te 81.
