E. G. REED, true to his vocation, re- ]
sumed the oyster trade on Saturday, it /
being a month with an "r' in it you
know. The trade report the bay Oys- t
ters rather poor yet. In this respect '
they differ from last year, the repeated
heavy rains sending down a volume of {
fresh water that fattened them earlier /
than usual.
SEPTEMBER and October are two of
the most enjoyable months in the
whole year the landlord at the seaside )
and mountain says, as he sees his
guest departing. Perhaps he doesn't
know that these months are also very
pleasant at home, and some part of
ones time must be devoted to bread
winning, ye know.
BUT few window shows have attract
ed so much attention and so amused
the spectators as that the past week
in Prettyman's shoe store. 1t is a

apprentice boy attemps to arouse him
while the wife rushes out with a slip

every minute.
Miss TILLIE IRWIN, at least that is
the name she gave, representing a
Philadelphia book publisher, who came |
to Mrs. S. E. Richards last week with |
out baggage and left in two days and |
with her also purse with the earnings |
of one of her daughters, pair of brace |
| lets and other articles, has not been |
| heard from since. She bought ticket |
for Atlantic City.
WE wonder how some of our tender
corned people would like an announce
ment like the following, which the
Milford Chronicle gave last week:
" "RumOr has it, that there will soon
be two weddings in South Milford
we'll out toward the eastern town
limits. One is a widow, who is to
again be joined in matrimonial bonds,
and the Other-well, she is not an 'Old
maid,' but she is 'gettin' thar"
Now LET business whiz! The har-
vest is past and the summer is ended
the schools are opened, the tourists are
home again or on the way, and there is
no reason in the world why business
should not be brisk. The usual timid-
ity of capital embarking in new enter
prises about election times ought not
to occur this year, as the right man is
sure to get into Office. 1t is a campaign
of argument this year, and the people
will decide right and abide by the
! issue. Let business whiz

scattered the family last spring, (which
was current here in the early part of

THE continued upward tendency
10 the wheat market has caused the farm
lsG ers who were able to hold their graf
ed to pity their less favored brothers WI
IL were forced to yield to necessity an
ng sell their wheat. Last week millers
ay Baltimore paid $1.00 to $1.02 for goC
to prime southern FultZ, and chOi
lal lots were sought for and not found.
ng general feeling is taking hold in Il
ro- trade that the advance in wheat hi
cry come to stay. The offering of Soutl
to- ern corn is very small, and the mark
my is nominal. Sales of white at Sc al
90 So cents, and yellow at 56 cents are I
ported. Early in the week oats we
oo1 scarce in Wilmington and sold for
&C. cents bushel. Corn brought 65 cen
