Smock variety White fruit sold from As

cents, and about 20 cents for culls.
On Tuesday thirteen cars were shipped

cars were loaded with white fruit which
sold at prices ranging from IS TO o.
cents. The other eleven cars were OF
the Smock variety and prices ranged
from 80 to as cents, when they took
big tumble and from that hour until
the market closed prices ranged from
70 to 80 cents SmOck's are small III
size and dirty looking in color this year
and prices must necessarily be low or
they will no. find any market at all. The
season is now about closing and three

WE all have to economic sometimes
unless, indeed, we possess the purse OF
Fortunatus, au endowment which does
not fall to the average member OF the
human race, but the real pinch does not
come sufficiently often to make us under
stand what a genuine mathematical prob
lem some women have to work out who
have a dozen necessary purchases to be
evolved from a bill that looks sorrow
fully small in proportion to the demand
upon it.
The weary, harassed woman Of little
means is seen frequently in the shops
these days, The autumn buying is to
be done and a ten dollar bill looks woe
fully incompetent wheu the tired mother
sees the long list of things which she
would like to buy. Shopping III this
fashion is no pleasure, aud the man who
thinks it very cute to formulate jokes
upon his wie's propensity for tramping
from one store To another would sing
different if he went along with her aud
saw the effort she makes to save on one
article in order to help out with another,
and how she turns her back on many a
bit OF fnery or furnishing
knowing full we'll that the substantial
needfuls must be bought first before she
can give any thought to the more ap
pealing prettiness her soul longs TO
possess. Talk about unsel6shness, man
does not know what it is until he watches
a woman with meagre purse shopping
for her family. She may have planned |

treat of pair of dainty house slippers, |

gets home that her last year frock is
plenty good enough and that she thought

extravaganza, aud, therefore,

lot, he certainly never understands the
downright nobility Of the nature that
titles regret and smiles cheerfuly when

REV WI S MURRAY, D. D, an
nouuced at the meeting Of the official
board of Wesley NJ. L. Church last
Thursday evening that he had been in
vited to 90 to Salisbury, Nd. next year
and had decided TO accept the call. The
people Of Dover the members Of DR..
Murray's church aud those having no
connection with it. will receive this news
with extreme regret When he came to
Dover as pastor he already had many
warm friends, aud personal association
and more intiMate acquaintance with
him have greatly increased their admir-
alton and regard for him. He has liter
ally won the hearts of our people. We
believe that the good feeling Of the peo-
pie Of Dover for DIR. Murray is thoroughly
reciprocated by him and that he will
leave with regret but, as he could stay
here only one year longer, he could not
be expected to refuse a good call else
where for a full psstorate. Wesley
Church has before It a very difficult task
in selecting a successor to DR.. Murray
