He was held for court.
There are many kinds of coal, but |
what you want is good Coal. A. E.
Jardine will handle the same coal as
last year, and everyone knows it to be |
the best on the market.
The week of east wind, on Sunday
and Monday amounting to hurricane
like proportions, very naturally pro-
duced high tides in the tributaries to
the Delaware and the marshes.
This was a good season for starting
celery plants and the supply promises
to be ample. Thomas Hemsley has
perhaps the most vigorous plants in
his patch down III "WhOpping, which
have been ready for use for sometime
past.
Gunners are laying out their plans
and getting their guns and ammuni-
tiOn ready for a season of sport. The
law runs out on the 18th prox., but
some persons have not waited for the
law. This has been especially so in
trees where the flicker and robbins
feed.
The hurricane-like condition of
weather that prevailed on Sunday and
Monday was charged to belated equi-
noctial storm that failed to put in its
appearance a month ago. Coming as
it did Immediately following a four
days rain, it would seem that we have
water enough for a time.
On Monday next Mr.. Henry Pike,
well-known shoe dealer of Whining
ton, will move his goods here and
take possession of the store now occu-
pied by Thomas Mccoy, in the Pretty
man building. Mr.. Pike comes with
experience as a shoe man and he doubt
less will adapt his stock to the wants
of the most fastidious.
The presumption was, that though
al immense acreage had been seeded
in wheat, that it was about all in the
ground when the rain storm struck us
a week ago, but such seems not to be
the case. We learn since that num-
Der of farmers are not quite done seed
ing, and few have whole fields yet to
put in.
The heavy july rains, which sprOuted
and blackened much of the wheat,
caused it thereby to fall considerably
below the grade of marketable wheat.
A. Z. Jardine has on trial at the Land
ing a machine adapted to steam power,
that throws out damaged grains,
thereby greatly improving its market
able properties.
Such long ringing of church bells
attracted the attention of recent Wis
itOr to our town, who took the trouble
to count the strokes. The result was:
bell on the Presbyterian church, POP;
Episcopal, 90; Methodist, 40. COnsid-
ering that these bells each ring five or
six times each Sunday, it would appear
that it takes a mOnstrous amount of
bell ringing to arouse some people to
their Sabbath duties.
A. L. Hudson, Sr., has been nurs-
ing a stiff shoulder the past several
days. A spirited COW which was at
tached to a rope, the other end of
which was in Mr. Hudson's hand, got
him on the run, and when he wanted
to stop his momentum was such that
he could not do it, causing him to fall
forward heavily on his shoulder. For.
tunately, no bones were broken.
A Revival meeting will begin in Ray
