WHITE AND GOLD. Next Wednes-
lay eveng the G. E. Society of the
Church will give "Con-
ventiOn Society" for the double pur-
pose of entertaining their friends, and
means to send their delegate
to the Great Convention at Cleveland.
Further particulars next week.
GEO. NJ. JONES, Esq, of Dover, At
tOrney for the owner, will offer at pub
lie sale in this town on July 14th, the
farm known as the "Spear Farm" in
Blackbird Hundred, 275 acres of land.
1t is desirable property. See adver-
tisement.
LAMBS used to sell we'll in the mar
ket for $500, but this year they have
rated at $3.50 and are now said to be
dull at $500. The growers complain
that the wholesale and retail markets
do not keep tOgether,-that when they
go to buy few chops they have to pay
the old price of 18cents per pound.
NOTWITHSTANDING the predictions
for rain in the papers the first of the
week, we have had little since the
showers of Thursday night, and it be-
gins to look like summer though the
sun has been hazed by an excess of hu'
midity in the upper air. 1t begins to
feel like hay harvest when the murcury
is creapng up to the nineties with
westerly winds and no rain clouds.
SATURDAY night brought the usua
hot weather and riotOus crowd. The
fear of arrest and the lookup keel
them in fair order while in town, bu
those returning home by way of DUCK
Greek got into a fight, and Sunda!
morning Mr.. Weller in serving milk
found at the branch, near the latte
place, an empty five-shOOter and knif
on the ground, and saw drops of BLOOD
near by.
THE officers of Dover, Clayton an,
Smyrna NJ. f. Sunday Schools hav
been desirOus but unable to make al
rangements with the railroad official
for transportation to Woodland Beach
and it is not likely that any excursion
by rail will be Accommodated to thi
place this year. The hindrance grow
out of possible danger or accident froI
long inundation of the land over whic
the track passes by high tides.
The game of base ball between til
Leipsic and Smyrna teams Saturda
afternoon, was stopped by the fOrm'
in the third inning because of deci
ion of the umpire, which they elaine
was wrong. 1t was very evident tn;
they could not hit Stevens, our craC
pitcher, as the score was 8 to l in OF
favor when the opposing team quit Il
field. Leipsic had an eye to busine
when they stopped, as they knew the
would be beaten.
REPORTS of large yields are made

We hav'nt exact figures, but the patch
of J. E. Carter, Walter T. Massey,
H. Hill, E. W. Lapham and the Mess

quarts per acre, while John c. Stoke!
is stated at 5000 per acre and J.
Scout 5000 on half an acre. Mr.. La
