item Of news regarding the municipal
contest in your city is hoily debated

division ia their ranks, and more es-
peciallY hazard the experiment of a
stringent election law. Don't yer
know, said one of them. "when these
gospel Embellishments attempt to fire
off the reform gun it is pretty sure to
kick them. The party must elect
Dougherty or else he will knife the
Senatorial ticket and then what? Bet

seven acres fronting on the country
road for 81 900. Isaac Y. Fooss bid OF
30 acres at $50 per acre on the oppo-
site side. The price realized was not
up to public expectation and was a
serious falling of in the prices that
were obtainad st the sale Of real estate
of the late Judge Wootten. The sale
ought to have realized $l00 per acre,
as the land is not over one-eighth OF a
mile from the square" The real
estate of DIR. John Laws was sold
to-day by the sheriff. One lot of Is
acres went at $845, and the home place
known as the jefferson farm. consist.
ing of 65 acres, sold for $eGe.
The latter sale was considered
a good one. Much sympathy
is expressed for DR.. Laws, who, for
several years was an efficient political
worker in the interest of Secretary
Bayard, by whose influence he held
for some-years the. post of library
assistant at Washington.
A movement is quietly astir for a

are now as large as cherries and the
trees are very full-so full that fully
three-fourths must fall. This will
happen in about two weeks and will
be known as the "June fall"
