The extraordinary raise in wheat
makes it inevitable that -four should go
up, and that the advance should even
tually be reflected in the price of bread |
The farmer cannot rejoice in good re-
turns for his wheat and other products |
without corresponding increase in
in the cost thereof to the consumer.
What is there in the statement that
certain of our lads by their own voli-
tion are being led into temptation,
have been seen drunk lately? 1t mat
ters not whether from cider, beer or
stronger drink, the scar left on the
character is inst the same. But they
are not the only ones hurt. Their
relations and friends see a possible
dark shadow thrown across their lives.
l.. NJ. Price, who has obtained good
record among our farmers for his
brands of phOshate, is busily preparing
for the fall wheat sowing, now near at
hand, some two hundred tons of ma
terial which came down on the evan
Solver" a week or so ago, being a part
of this make up. 1t would be little
strange if the advance in wheat did not
stimulate larger sowing.
The churches will resume their nor
NAL condition next Sunday, being the
first Sabbath of the Eall. st. Peters
church, which was closed during
August, will resume regular services,
Rector Dame being expected home the
last of the week. At the Presbyterian
church there has been a combination
of the evening service with the Chris
tian Endeavor Society for an hour,
during the summer. Pastor Estlin
will resume his regular preaching SER
vice on Sunday evening, as may also
be said of Pastor Stengle, of the Meth
odist church.
Smyrna is getting to be quite an ex-
cursion town this summer. Both boat
lines have met with fattering success
on previous occasion, and the ones
coming off this week show that our
people are fond of pleasure-going.
With the 100 reported by the Trans
portation Company which left to-day,
and the 200 which the Brady Steam
boat Company claim to have sold to
date for tomorrow, will make the num-
ber 800 going from this town alone.
Our people are fond of pleasure going
and a better opportunity for nice sail
mp the river was never afforded this
section that is offered now by our
two steamboat lines.
The big rain or "cloud- burst" Mon
day week, over this section, had not
ceased in its interesting incidents to be
a subject of conversation by the farm
ers ON Saturday. The Galley" west
of Clayton, seems to have suffered the
most from hail and wind. The latter,
which preceded the rainfall, snapped
off good many stalks over a wide Sec
ton, and the corn being in the milk
state, will be lost. VIM. r. Smith,
collector of taxes, was out in the ewes
tern Deestrict" of KentOn Hundred,
when Overtaken by the storm, between
two roaring streams with only a negro
hut that could afford shelter for the
night Fortunately he had a safe and
trusty horse, and by the aid of a SINH
lar storm staid traveller, on horseback,
who held down the plank of high
bridge over which the waters were
rushing, while he got over, he was
enabled to escape. The water in other
places crossed, came up into his car
riage. In a day or two the waters had
passed away but the effect in washed
roads and fields remained. In both
this and the storm the last week in
July, many fields of corn in this vicin-
ity were prostrated. The chief effect
will be to add to the labor of fodder
saving. 1t was noticeable to the excur-
sionists to Ocean City last week, that
from CheswOld on down, there was not
field Of corn that did not stand erect.
Down the Peninsula, by the way, they
were saving fodder a week ago, and the
work will soon be in full operation
here.
The end of the summer holidays for
school teachers and pupils are rapidly
approaching. Next Monday our Pub
lie Schools will open for another years
work. Doubtless the advent of the
day is viewed with varied emotions
Some teachers and some pupils-a ma
) jority perhaps-look forward TO it as {
welcome change from two months oi
comparative inactivity. The teacher
interested in his or her work must fee
q sense of pleasure at resuming the
labor of guiding the youth along the
path of knowledge, and it should be re
marked that all scholars should be like
the lazy boy in Shakespeare's ''Sever
Ages" To many, books and study
are positive delight; they do notlool
upon the instructor as a taskmaster
between him and them best relationi
exist, and they would not prolong thC
holidays if they could. The nearnesi
Of school days once more brings to the
front serious problems with which the
proper authorities must deal 1t is Il
be hoped that the schools already fitted
; up or in course of construction will af
ford ample accommodation for all com
ers and that progress in our ednca
tional system will continue uninterrup
ted
To Whom II May Concern.
