[THE colored people of Manship and
Onion Churches near Cheswold will

woods July 4th.
The attention of farmers is called to
the large new advertisement of Rice &

Miss ALVERTA CONOwAY teacher at
No. gave her pupils picnic on Sat
urday last. Good things in abundance
were provided, cak, ice cream, lemon
ade, candies, etc. The usual games
were INDUCED in and everybody and
his neighbOr had good time. The
school closed last week for the summer.
YESTERDAY a yellow, unmuzzled
dog went into the yard of the basket
mill and behaved strangely among
other things having fit. Just at this
time the whistle blew to go to work,
ne, one had time to kill dog presum-
ably>Iad and the animal passed on out
of the yard down Pearl Street.
LAST week was wheat harvest week,
and crops were all in the shock by Sat
urday night except few belated fields
or low grounds. 1t was a week with
out a lost day because of the weather,
good rains having fallen the week be-
fore, and besides the sunshine except
for a day or two, the temperature was
unusually cool and breezy for harvest
time. Upon the whole, it has been an
extra harvest, with promises of good
yields and good prices.

boys say. 1t has been our custom to
observe it not only by a public demon
