CHERRIES were in the market as
early as week ago and will be on in
good condition this week, for eating
and preserving. The Early Richmond
variety, that has a tartness that two
pounds of sugar will hardly sweeten in
one pound of fruit, seemed to be fairly
loaded with fruit.
SOME very fine strawberries were
brought to town last week by different
growers, but none we think to equal a
box brought to this Office by Thomas
tennimore, of ThOroughfare Neck, OF
the Sharpless variety, % berries fill
ing the box. They were thorouohIv
ripe and delicious.
The distribution of strawberry
money among so many pickers made a
perceptible activity to business Satur-
day night, keeping retailers busy up to
the time limit. Shoes seemed to be
one OF the special things needed, as
might be judged by the number of per.
sons that lined the counter of Clarence
Prettyman.
The returns are not all in yet on the
strawberry crop, but some of the grow
ers are talking about an average of
from to 6 cents, on the CITY returns
from which the marketing is to be de-
Quoted. The late returns may bring
these figures up a little, the prices YES,
terday being u to Is cents, and some
fancy ones, q cents.

the agricultural prosperity of the
section where he resides. Wheat
gives promise of an abundant harvest
corn and grass are growing finely. and
as far as the product of the soil ia con.
cerned, there is nothing to complain of.
