cause it purifes, enriches and vitalIzess

Bryan At theensuing April election.

The Corn Crop.

The corn c op is more backward
than we have ever seen it at such
late date in June. Between this
city and Philadelphia there are few
promising fields, while in many
fields the plants are not three inches
ir leighth. The same is the case
from Camden to Cape May. The
yield will not be half a crop unless
the season from this time forward
should be unusually favorable. In
many parts OF New Ca site County,
the outlook for corn is more en-
couraging. Mr.. VIM. F. Little, of
Mill Creek Hundred, says as rule
the corn is three or four feet high
and Mr.. VIM. Stafford of the Hazel
Dell farm, New Cattle Hundred,
says that his corn is as high as his
head. Parties who have teen down
the county say there is nothing
between this city and Middletown
to match it.

Half Million for Heirs,

Milford, DEL, June 27.-William Ma
than Parson, o poor country lad, left Sus-
sex County about 80 years ago. and start
ed out to make ht living, He reached
the gold fields, but soon found that what
he was digging was not gold dust, but
common dirt, Becoming discouraged, he
made bis way to Texas, and there started
as cowboy.
By close economy he soon had a small
ranch Of his own, and from that day every
thing that he took hold of seemed to turn
into money, which he invested In land
and cattle. For 20 years nothing was
heard OF him, and he was supposed TO be
dead.
One day this week an attorney from
Camden, N. j.. came to town, looking
for Parson heirs. He told them that he
had inherited $500, COO, and that all they
had to do was to sign papers for the Reg
lister OF Wills in the State Of Texas. The
money, he said, would soon be forthcom-
ing. There are II heirs In this place, and
they are all poor
