GREENWICH NOTES.

In recent newspaper notice of the
reporter took occasion to remark that
this Order is the strongest, numerically.
of all the secret Orders in the United
States. So it is, and through this so
ciety the farmers, working together,
have great powers of legislation, if
they choose to exert that power. We
fear too often their strength is wasted
in frivolous buying and selling, and we
hare reminded of what a atore-keeper
once said of member of the Grange
that he took his cash to buy small
articles through his society, and came
to the stores for credit when his cash
was exhausted" But such conduct as
that only illustrates the every day life
of the world. The same person men
toned above will scrape together
enough money to hire a physician
from distance, at a triple price, to at
tend him any day, and is quite angry
if the local physician objects to being
called at night, when the foreign NJ. D.
cannot be afforded. The NJ. D. from
afar gets his money; the local must
wait, and generally takes it out in
waiting. Inconsistency seems to be
the rule of life.
Robert NJ. Ayars, who resides at the
/ Head of Greenwich, died suddenly at
his home this morning about three
o'clock. Mr. Ayars was out Friday,
at work all day, but in the evening
was taken with chills and fever, and
has gradually grown worse until
death ensued. He was a leading citi-
zen OF Greenwich township, and for
| several years past had devoted most of
| his time to peach culture, having
grown some of the finest peaches in
the county. Mr.. Ayars leaves a large
! family one of his sons being Benjamin
s. Ayars, proprietor of the canning
establishment on Water street, Bridge
/ ton: James Ayars, OF the firm of Jones
Is Ayars, the heavy fruit packers, in
Salem, and Chas. Ayars, who carries
on wheelwrighting and blacksmithing
at the Head of Greenwich. The de-
! ceased was well advanced in years
having lived long and useful life.
For many years he was a deacon in
| the Baptist church at Greenwich, and
was an exemplary Christian man.
Owing to lack of boxing material,
the boys at the factory took an en-
forced holiday several days last week.
The fire at Salisbury, Del, was the
prime cause of the difficulty.
Mr.. Lewis Horner, father of Isaac
Horner, of Bacon's Neck, Greenwich,
died very suddenly on Friday last,
stricken with apoplexy. He was dis
covered in an insensible condition,
lying on the ground, and never recov-
| cred consciousness, but died in few
hours. He was nearly 10 years of age.
We notice large number of peach
trees are being set this Fall. showing
| that our farmers have concluded that,
though uncertain they may be, and
uncertain they are, they must look
! toward something besides grain for
money for living. If man can hit
one or two good crops of peaches du
ring the life of his orchard it gives him
a chance to pocket considerable pile
of money, and it is to this chance we
are all looking.
The heavy rain squall of last Thurs
day caught one of our farmers on a
load of hay, and tumbled him and his
load over into the road, leaving the
bare running-gears of his wagon and
the team only, standing. Fortunately,
nobody was much Injured. QUIZ
