Ii we could only get into the good graces
of the weather clerk and have the showers
and rains come just when they were most
needed, wouldn't it be nice? While all win

ers of then would be more than a BLESSING.
The Pantaloon Company here received
an order on Tuesday from a clothing
dealer in Schenectady, New York, for 10
dozen of their pantaloons. AS one of the
largest and best %pantaloon factories in this

Woodstown products and concluded to
send an order and Five them a trial.
All our mechanics are full of work, and
their forces have been strengthened by
helpers from adjoining towns. Carpenters,
painters, plasterers aud masons have all

to divide his workmen sometimes in two or
three sections, taking this method to quiet
the clamoring of his patrons who had
urgent need of his mechanical services.

Ever sinco G. S. Caffrey became owner
of the Woodstown Mills he has had
mechanics and other labourers employed
in repairing the buildings. clearing up the
grounds and beautifying the surroundings
of the mill property and his stock farm
near by. He has doubtless expended thou
sands Of dollars and is still at work with
as much force and vigor as at the beginning.
As the pay roll neccssitates the distribution
of considerable money that goes into cir
culation here, it is surely a valuable help
to our business people. Both Mr.. Calf
rey and Mr.. Disston pay out large sums of
money annually. 1t is hoped their enter
prises may be a5undantly successful. That
they may live long and prosper is doubt
less the wish of all.
The f~allness of the bloom ON fruit trees
iD all parts of New jersey gives evidence
of a very large crop of fruit this year. if
the rayages Of the curculio and other in
sect pests are not too great. Secretary
Dye, of the State Board of Agriculture,
has just been on a trip through the fruit
sections Of New Jersey, and he reports the
outlook as unusually good, but fea.s that
fruit growers and farmers will become
apathetic over the encouraging prospects,
and by neglecting to properly spray their
trees now, suffer unnecessary losses. Sec
rotary Dye says this is the critical time,
when the bloom is turning into fruit. BY
spraying the trees now, the young insects
rs hen Matched from the eggs deposited in
the bloom will be treated to a dose of
poison that " i'll end their career at once,
and insure a large yield of fair fruit.
