Oxford Herald.
Never knew before that there was a

Two dozen eggs will buy one bushel OF
corn in this market, but it takes two
bushels and half of corn to buy one
bushels of apples. BredkWdter Light
We suppose the above is all right, but
think the after the last bushel should
have been left off
1t is almost an impossibility to sell
sweet potatoes in this market Ten to
twenty cents per bushel is the best figure
offered. Some growers are storing with
the hope of better prices in winter, while
others are feeding to stock Milford Nelcs.
No such trouble around here. There
is generally a good market and good fig
ures when one wishes to buy.
A curious freak of nature can be wit
messed on Timothy Harnett's farm, near
this town. In his apple orchard are two
apple trees both of which this season
bore the variety known as the June APP
pie. One tree has on it three half grown
apples-second growth-the other has
several blossoms.-De ldwdredn.
1t is said young George Gould has
drawn a rare prize. He has married a

tice.-Neig Castle Star.
Mighty glad to know that George has
married wife. 1t would been awful had
he gotten n man.
]. w. Adkins and VIM. Z. Hopkinsare
entitled to wear the belt as champion an
glers for this section. They caught 120
pike in the creek on Monday, and two
dozen of their catch weighed over two
pounds each. They report that the fish
were so anxious to be drawn in out Of
the wet that they followed the boat in
schools with open mouths and crowded
about the boat like Sussex Democrats at
the polls on election day.-MJOrd Neus.
This reminds us of card that one of
our boys carries. 1t reads a am some
what of liar myself"
The town authorities have forbidden
the burning of paper, leaves or other re-
fuse on the streets "or on private prem
ises in any part of the town where build
ings of any kind are located" This is a
move in the right direction and a proper
observance it may possibly prevent rep
etition of the scene at Salisbury .-Record.
Mrs. Patience de Wolfe, who is now
eighty-three years of age, though suffer-
ing severely from cancer, still persists in
living exclusively alone and waiting up
on herself Though somewhat eccentric
in her manner she still retains a vivid
memory and can relate many incidents
which occurred in this town over seven
ty years ago. She is an old time Jack
son Democrat BredkWdter Light.
We wonder if by being Democrat
could cause such longevity.
Last Saturday closed the season for
Danas factory on tomatoes. This estab-
lishment has put up 10000 cases of three
pound cans, and 1000 cases ofgallon cans

Milford Chronicle.
There is not another State in the I'm
ion of our size can beat this.
The girls of Dublin are said to be more
beautiful than those of any other city in
the world. They have not seen the New
Castle girls, though.-NeW Castle Star.
And we are positive that the fellow who
wrote the above never visited Newark.
AS the train containing the Democrat
ic speakers, the Georgetown band and

Frankford on Wednesday night it was
town. One of the stones cut Edward
Wilson's head.-Susser Journal.
Last Saturday as James NJ. Hall was

bruised, and his collar bone broken. lie
is doing well and hopes to be about again
soon.-Matord NeWs.
A quarter of beef fell off a hook in an
Elkton butcher store this week and broke
little girls arm.-W Wing.
We doubt not that the little girl would
rather than quarter the beef had not
fallen.
Days Horse Powder is indispensable
for the proper care ofsheep and lambs in
winter. The best stock-raisers always
keep it on hand. 25 cents.
A. ii. Bradley, Of Riverton, realized
1914 from one acre and half of land this
season. 1t was first put in peas, which
returned the neat sum of $3.50, and then
set it in tomato plants, which netted $50.
