THE tomato crop is growing sadly less
The season has pr0videntially been pro-
longed. The canneries have had a good
pack, the operatives have had conin-
uous work at good wages and our mer-
chants haYe been kept busy in supplying
not only the current necessaries of life
but in selling to the provident those
goods which insures winters comfort.
On Tuesday morning, for the first time
this fall, very heavy frost covered the
ground, and put an end to the tomato
canning season for this year Nearly
all the canneries, however, closed for the
season last week. The pack this year has
been an unusually large ne,notwithstaud-
ing the fact that nearly all the growers
complained that the crop would be short

THERE is one thing that a country
printer needs at just this time of the year, !
viz: ready cash. He has to trust one or |
two thousand people nearly twelve |
months, and his bills get large toward the |
end, and although the year is not entirely |
out, but settling subscrition bills nova |
very small thing to one individual, but
large sum to the printer-it will make
him better able to make the local paper
mere worth the reading than ever. Re
member this.
BE careful what kind of lantern you
use. In nearly every paper we see no
tees of barns burned by the overturning
of a lantern. The burner of a lantern
should be fastened as securely as on a
house lamp, but many of them have sim
ply loose burner, which will tumble
off as soon as the lantern is overturned,

kind smash it and pitch it in the rubbish
heap and get a good safe one.

THE Fire Organization of this town
eem to be less appreciated than any other
imilar organization on the Peninsula
7ho haYe done such effective work and
deserve so great credit. They
ave well earned the reputation they have j
mOng our Peninsula towns, but our own k
itizens fail to come to the front with the 81
ecessary funds to properly equip them n
S a fire organization. The Winter is Fl
oming on and rubber coats and fire G.
lckets should be furnished to each mem IL
er Of the organization that their health d.
lay be preserved as they seek to pre-
erve their townsmen's property. v
WITH the exception of the Literary W
ocietY connected with the Classical cl
.cademy there is no association of young re
eople in our town for debating, declar- /
ig and elocutionarv objects. This Oh
ught not to be. All who have been ri
lembers of such a society can testify to
le good they got. They were taught to b.
link and to express themselves. They N
OF intellectual stimulous from it, were III
lcited to reading and to taking an in al
crest in public questions, in literary mat di
RS, etc. We hope that our young peo- h.
lie will not leS the winter pass without st
themseN for such useful q
urposes as are those aOove named. W
