S. TODD JENKINS brought us in
some peaches on Monday, sixteen Of
which filled a basket. He challenges
the world to beat this, and we chal-
lenge the world to find man that
beats Todd,who took time during the
hurry and hustle of his peach season
to think of the poor printer.
WE have been expecting a shower
Of watermelons, eantaloupes, big
peaches. etc., for week but have only
been struck by one drop from our
old friend S. 7. J. Our subscribers
have them picked out, but have not
had time to bring them up yet. You
will see some acknowledgements in
next weeks paper.
THE Sussex JourRaW suggests that
the State Teachers Association APP
point a committee to daft new school
Law and report il for discussion at their
next meeting. 1t is time the teach
ers took a live interest in this matter
they could exert an influence in the
community that would be felt
on Wednesday Mr.. Geo. Minors
loaded a car with peaches, when it was
discovered that something was wro',T
and that the car was not safe. Supe
intendent Mills was telegraphed to
who ordered another car to be run
along side and the train to wait until
the peaches were transferred. 1t caused
about an hours delay.
THE water from the well on Mr..
Samuel Hammond's farm was exam
ined under the microscope by Dr. John
s. Prettyman, Jr., and found to con-
tain traces of organic matter, bacilla,
etc. and was clearly unfit for use.
This would account for some of the
sickness there has been in the family.
1t is a warning to all to he careful
about their wells.
