CHEswOLD, June 18th, 1899. The
shower of rain last Saturday gave our
farmers long wished for opportunity
to put out tomato plants and they went
out by the thousands, perhaps We
might say by the millions and not
Overstate it.
Three crates of late strawberries were
sold in this market for shipment Mon
day morning at 81 cents per quart. The
life incident to the strawberry with its
hustle and hustle, has departed with a
very short season and Cheswold has
returned to its usual quiet. Believing
there is great production, it is
likely that some OF our farmers will |
quit growing strawberries.
Children's Day exercises at Bethel |
and Cheswold drew crowds at both |
churches. The program at either
church, seems to have been greatly en-
joyed. At Bethel, duett by Misses
Lurty and Humphreys seemed to pro-
duce special comment. The follow
ing program was rendered at Ches-
void:

Our town was startled Monday
morning early by announcement of the
sudden death of John Haman. He

Mrs. DIR, H. V. s. Stout, but not re-

between that hour and midnight. His
body was yet warm with cold extrem-
tiles, Mr.. Haman has for three years
been subject to slight heart attacks,
which have been more severe since &
recent spell of sickness. He was quiet
and reserved in manner, fond of read
ing and keeping up with the curren
events of the day and has won the re
spect of this community since he hal
been with us. He is brother of E
