CHEswOLD, June 10Th, 1S99- few
farmers cut their wheat last week but
there was a general rush in the har-
vest fields in this vicinity commencing
with Monday morning.
The Delaware Railroad has planted
little building at the crossing over
their tracks for the use of a fagman
soon to be put here. Many narrow es-
capes have occurred here and our people
are glad to see the fiagman's quarters
settled at Cheswold
Last Sunday was temperance day at
the NJ. E. Church and Pastor Gardner
in the morning gave his congregation a
very earnest and logical discourse on
this subject The w. G. I. U. filled
out the rest of the day having Mrs.
Leila Wilson Aron of Wyoming, the
speaker for the evening. Mrs. Aron
also addressed the Sunday School.
The feature of the evening service was
recital-bearing on the subject of
temperance by Miss Maggie Bishop
which was finely rendered, also special
! music consisting of a vocal solo by
Mrs. I. ID. Garrison, a quartette by
Mrs. w. F. Collins and Mrs. Rev.
| Gardner and DIR. Frank Gardner and
DR.. H. V. S. Stout. Andrew W. Col
lison as cornetist also added to the
choruses with splendid effect. Mrs.
Aron prepared her remarks by stating
''She was not a lecturer or public
speaker but simply a plain farmers
wife who in early life espoused the
great temperance cause and still loves
it and if to-day she could do anything
to advance the cause of Christ and up
lift humanity, she was willing to make
sacrifices" Mrs. Arou proved herself
to be fluent, easy speaker who en-
listed the very close attention of Der
audience. At the close of service a
great many went forward to meet and
extend to her congratulations. She
has undoubtec ability for speaking.
Mrs. W. F. Collins presided and Mrs.
A. Q. Disch read the scripture lesson.
Next Sunday will be the 46th An
niversary of Bethel church, and within
the range of many miles this historic
| spot will doubtless be the Mecca. 1t
is presumed many will bring their
horsefeed and dinner in picnic style.
