advertisers, has sent clothing valued at
over $1,000 to the Johnstown sufferers.
ONE of the best signs of summer is
the soda fountain. James P. Hoffecker
set his in motion yesterday at his drug
store, to accommodate the heated and
thirsty.
SMYRNA had in contemplation
another of its big Fourth of July cele-
brations, but waived its right in favor
OF its sister towns, Dover and Middle
town, both of whom have Joined with
US on former occasions, and both of
whom want to celebrate this year.
CHAs. H. DULIN, near Blackbird Cross
Roads is an exception to the most of
our farmers in that he has a prospect
of good crop of peaches on the most
OF his orchard. At least the trees are
now full. Mr.. Dulin in putting out
his orchard planted them with a view
of having them bear on off years when
other orchards were scarce of fruit.
and he has hit it right along.
JOE WILEY, a colored youngster.
was hauled up before Alderman Budd
last week for profanity and indecent
behavior at Centennial Hall, and fined
$3.50, which with the costs will amount
to about $500. This is what he had to
pay to show his want of decency and
good manners. If this does not serve
as a proper lesson and he repeats it. he
will be put under bonds the next time.
The Early Richmond cherry has been
In market a week or more. If it is n
real tart cherry the cook wants, the
Richmond ought to be satisfactory. A
farmer living two or three miles south
OF Smyrna says to sweeten them prop
erly 1t takes about pound of sugar to
each cherry. This may be a Slight
exaggeratiOn, but the rosebug that en-
joys a strawberry for dessert, has its
voracious stomach turned when it
comes to the Richmond cherry.
CHEswOLD, which was chartered at
the last session of the Legislature, and
which has been without the necessity
of municipal law because of the good
department of its citizens, had its first
case on Saturday. 1t did not really
belong to Cheswold, for no liquor is
sold there, the darkey getting drunk
IN Smyrna or Clayton and going there
to kick up disturbance. He was ar
rested by the constable for his disor-
derly conduct and carried before the
alderman, Brady Cooper, who duly
heard the case and fined him, which
with the costs, amounted to over SO.
but in the new situation for him. for
got to collect the money, and besides
losing his own fee, had to put his hand
in his pocket and pay that of the con-
stable.
As ANNOUNCED, Rev. w. S. Robin
son made the Johnstown horror the
subject Of his Sunday evening discourse
taking for his text two or three verses
from jeremiah, that if these had been
the days of prophecy and their fulfill
ment, would have answered very ac-
curately to JOhnstown. He pictured
the place as he saw it three or four
years ago and what it is as a result of
that five minutes of destructive flood.
He said in preparing his discourse he
had taken down the books from his
library to find something that would
compare to it in suddenness and de-
struction, and it stood without a par
allel. The nearest he found to it was
in 1902 in Spain, when 600 lives were
lost and 100000 of property de-
strOyed. The address was full of in
structiOn, parallelisms and suggestive
thought. In making the application
from the pulpit standpoint, he COM
pared the warning which they heard
of the breaking of the dam unheeded
to the warnings which are weekly
given from the pulpit and go unheeded.
