William M. Hughes, of Hazleton
who for many years has been a
noted horseman, takes pride in
speaking of the days when he was
captain of boat carrying merchan-
disc from Baltimore to this city,
returning with coal for the South
ern markets, during the years from
1856 to 1868. In the year 1883
watermelons were scarce il this
market and on one occasion he
brought 1900 of them to this city.
The dealers here at that time were
the late John Constine and Marx
Long, who controlled the markets
then for fruit and vegetables. The
load was disposed ofby Mr.. Hughes
as soon as he landed and the price
was from IS to rs cents each, which
was considered high figure. Mr..
Hughes weathered many storms on
the canal and bays and has done
much hard work in his time. He
is to-day apparently in good health
and unusually robust for a man
nearing the seventies Mixes

Low prices for products do not
compel farmers to sell at. market
rates, says a person qualified to
speak on the subject. Each farmer
has a reputation, or at least should
make one for himself. A reputation
for supplying the market with a
choice article creates confidence in
the consumers and they will pay
more than the ruling market prices
because they know they will not De
imposed upon. If two farmers
should send butter of the same quail
ity to market, the one with repu-
tation would receive higher price
than the other, although his pro-
duct might not be better. Each
farmer should work on his own
lines and endeavor to get his pro-
duce into market of better quality
than the market affords.

A goodly number of people assem-
bled at the Normal Athletic Field
Saturday afternoon to witness the
foot ball game between Berwick and
Bloomsbury. Both teams were
pretty evenly matched, Berwick
probably had shade the best of
the argument in the matter of
weight. The game was we'll played
from start to finish. AT the con-
clusion of the struggle it was found
that but two points had been scored
our boys having succeeded in land
ing what is termed a safety. This
game demonstrated to many who
heretofore were loathe to believe
it, that Bloomsbury has lot of
good material. All the boys need
a little more development and they
will be able to put up pretty stiff
argument.

John Kline, near Centralia, was en-
tered by burglars at an early hour
Monday morning, and robbed of

He was bound and gagged by the
burglars, who ransacked the house,
and made their escape. When the
family arrived at the house later in
the morning, they found Mr.. Kline
in the above stated condition, un-
able to move or speak. There is no
clue to the perpetrators.
