Farmers are putting in full time

Esq. Lewis Wade, an octogenarian
Of the 9th district of this county, was
in Trenton last week for the first
time in six months. In q converse
ton with the Squire we learn that he
served as Justice of the Peace for
this county forty years, and during
that time, though he tried hundreds
of cases and hundreds of these were
appealed, he was never reversed in a
single one of his cases by superior
court. If he occupied this position
at the present time, when acts of the
legislature are continually being de-
clared void and the supreme court is
ever and anon reversing itself, we sur
mise that he would not he able to say

Presuming that all newspapers ike

points, l have concluded to give you
some items in the vicinit- OF Gibson
Wells. The season has opened earli'
err than usual. the fret visitor being
young gentleman from Milan. whose
ostensible purpose was to recruit his
health, hut some strongly suspect
that from his frequent visits to Ger
tain place, that his real object was to
secure a companion for life. He
would also like TO own a handsome
House in the neighborhood, but L
fear he has but little hope i'll that di-
rection. He will perhaps be like
Moses, who was permitted to view the
promised land with longing eye,
but could never obtain it. he is a
young man worthy of amy enterprise,
and | wish him all success i'll life.
Many Of our farmers are piowing and
all are busily engaged in fencing and
other farm work. We have fine
school in tho neighborhood, taught by
pretty aud accomplished young
lady. General good health prevail'
throughout the country.

before. New corners also want them.
The dealer who can keep sepply un
hand is sure of increased sales of 9th.
er goods, and strenuous efforts are
made to keep up the supply Not
until the supply comes from West
Tennessee can the demand I've SUP
piled. There is a peculiar firmness
of texture and solidity in your ber-
rles equaled by none shipped from
points further south. As this country
to the north and northwest develops
and grows and sccumulates wealth,
so will the demand for fruit continue,
that is first class. The town that re
quired two cases per day last year will
require three cases this year, aud
towns that have been built the past
twelve mouths will require additional
supplies.
Bear in mind that all through this
vast extent of country, comprising all
the states of Wisconsin, Michigan.
Minnesota, Iowa, and Dacotah rs well
as the north half of Illinois, have no
uut.ot-door products when your straw>
nerries are ripe. Many time do we
wear overcoats and gloves to protect
ourselves from the cold while selling
Tennessee berries. Apples being out
of the market, no other fruit to take
its place, then there is an eagerness
tor the wberry- only measured
by the pocketbook Of the would>bt
purchaser. This brings us to tn,
point most important of all in mar
keting,t price. For the great mass
a price of 20 cents per quart is higt
enough. SO 90 per case or 121 cent
per quart here would bring it tt
about that price. Take then this ba
sis and can you afford to raise berrie
to be sold at that? ESQ, we have II,
hesitation in saying that the demaLt
would be unlimited. They coul,
then be sold in this city at Is cent,
and in country places at II to q
cents. The average price is nearl
$500 per case for good fruit, an,
while we would not make the positiv
statement that it would be 50, "
have no hesitation in saying in on
judgment good fruit will commant
$500 as a rule for years to come. In
feri r will sell for less of course. Tn
problem of transportation has pee
solved as far as Gadsden and Bells ar
concerned, for the railroad companie
have made rates and time that ar
) excelled nowhere and equalled by bu
r few points. The l. G. r. r. is libel
al in that, whatever it may been i
other matters. We suggest that yo
