Gorton's Ministries played to a fair au-
dience in the Opera House last Friday

performances ever in our town. The band
music, orchestra, singing, speeialties and

gramme was full of enjoyable things. We
hope they will come again.

of the bones, a large one over an inch long,
in his throat, both ends being pressed

The price received for fresh Jersey pork
has not been so high for a number of years
as it is the present season. The farmers
are getting from one dollar and a half to
two dollars more per one hundred pounds
than they did last season, and several are
holding their stock for a further rise. The
high price of feed during the summer and
early fall has had the effect of raising the
price of the pork and other stock.
As the vendue season is at hand we
direct special attention to the advertise
ment in another column of Fogg s. Rich
a who in addition to their large Real
Estate and Insurance business, give special
attention to the clerking of sales of all
kinds. and have succeeded in giving very
good satisfaction in this line of business,
as the increasing demand for their services
bears witness. Persons contemplating
sales of Personal or Real Estate will do
well to secure their services.
Martin Anderson, of Bridgeton, was in
town over Tuesday night. He has recently

the plumbing work for the handsome new

nient private residences anywhere in this
part of the State. Wn. Richman, who
owns the cannery at Daretown, is build
ing a new house and Mr.. Anderson is do

Most kinds of produce is cheap. Apples
are plenty and the quality is good, but they
scarcely sell for enough to pay for the
trouble and expense of marketing them.
White potatoes sell slowly at 30c to Soc.
the latter price for the choice varieties.
Sweet potatoes are down in price next to
nothing, selling in some cases at &c to loo
per basket off the market boats. A lady

large loads of sweets to the steamboat at
Courses Landing for which he obtained
less tban $50 clear OF expenses. while she
dressed about 200 pounds Of chickens and
sold them to a nearby dealer for nearly $50.
The address of Mrs. Lide Meriwether
State President of the w. G. I. U. of Ten
nessee, in the Opera House, on Saturday
evening, was listened to by a full house,
and greatly enjoyed. She is an eloquent
and sparkling talker, and we venture that
our people now have a better conception of
the Just rights of women than they ever
had before. Her subject was the "Silent
Seven" which embraces the non-yoting
and ruling classes in the country, being
lunatics, idiots and such like, and among
them women. She showed the claim of
woman to ! part in the governing affairs
of the nation, because she is q part of the
people, and has as much at stake as the
men.
