able, This is considered high price and
the farmers are willing to take that much
for them.
The canneries are at work on full time
and are giving employment to hundreds of
people. Complaint is made by some, how
ever, of the fact that some of them employ
foreign labor. These foreign laborers live
in barracks and cook their own food, in
many cases having their stoves in the open
air and in other cases cooking over log fires.
In the Maryland canneries many of the
laborers are secured from Baltimore and in
some cases they are very tough lot Of
people.
A noticeable fact about the canneries is
the number of children employed. Some
of them are not over or years old, but
they do their work well. 1t appears that
people in the lower part of the Peninsula
are determined to keep the entire family at
work while the canning season lasts and to
make as much money as they can while
the opportunity offers ITSELF 1t is esti-
mated that the tomato season win be over
within the next two weeks. Then most of
the canneries will be closed until next
summer.

THE FALL OF THE YEAR.

A Busy Season for Everybody Especi-
ally the Farmer.
September's golden month has fed
Autumnal breezes stir the air, aud every
body is busy with their fall work.
The merchants are laying in their new
stock and displaying their goods in attrac-
tive styles. The ARTISANS are busy with
finishing all incomplete jobs: the house
keepers, after having used up all the jars,
sugar and fruit that they could manage to
get are now seeking other Kingdoms to
conquer" and when their plants are all
potted for the window garden, they will
enter upon the fall seige of house cleaning.
Everybody is busy, but the farmer is
busiest of all. The recent rains have put
him in better heart, and he is working
away from early morn till night fall drilling
wheat and cutting off corn.
The country is beautiful in nature $
maturity. The rows upon rows of corn in
shock. the broad acres of newly prepared
soil for seed sowing, the orchards and vine
yards yielding up their harvest of fruits
make constantly varying picture, that
cannot fail to please the eye of every lover
of the beautiful.
The marvel is how natures face can look
SO fair when wheat is at such price. and
the interest on the mortgage due and un-
paid, and the farmer in daily dread of for
closure.
Corn cutting this fall has been an un-
usually difficult task, much of it was fiat to
the ground, and very tangled. Farm
labor is scarce too, in spite of the cry of the
unemployed thousands, goodIy portion
of whom are to be seen on our highways
seeking a place of refuge ere the winter
winds whistle. The summer peach plucks"
are many of them, in a sad plight for cold
weather, and since the frost is felt in the
air his ills are on the increase.

WINTER rs COMING.


The Coal Carts are Busy and the
Stove Men in Demand.
Everybody who can is laying in their
winter supply of fuel, and the coal mer-
chants are doing brisk business. The tons
of "dusky diamonds" that are being stored
in various cellars, are a guarantee for COM
fort next winter, provided of course, the
cellar heater works well.
The stove men are also busy, and the
man with stove pipe under his arm and
a sooty streak across his nose can be seen at
almost any hour rushing from house to
house. The lot of the "heater man" is
surely hard one. for on all sides he is beset
with the same cry when will you have my
stove or my heater fixed"
There is no use talking, it is not in human
nature to have furnace repaired in mid
summer, and if you did want it, done
likely the stove man wouldn't care about
the job.

Troubles with pastors or among members
of congregations are disturbing several
charches of the Newark, N. J. Conference.
Rev. James W. Marshall, pastor of the
Hoboken M. E. Church resigned his charge
on Monday and has left the place.
Mr.. Marshall simply notified the trustees
that in consequence of the absence of har-
mony since his appointment he would ask
to be transferred to another charge when
the Newark conference meets next April.
Members of the congregation wanted the
Rev. w. W. W. Wilson, of the Whining
ton, Del, conference, as their pastor, but
but the Newark conference refused to ad-
NIT him. Mr.. Marshall was assigned to
the church, and being unable to restore
harmony concluded to retire. He has

his decision now to afford them ample
time in which to look about for another
pastor.
