mas Deen Kept DuSy since starting, last
Friday. The Assau Baines Co. have
notified their contractors they will pay
them $500 per ton, Notwithstanding
their contracts specify but $3.50 per
ton. We should have given Hiram
Ross and not Harry Ross the credit
last week for being in the lead of all
others in the delivery of tomatoes per
acre. Mr.. Harry Ross is, however, in
the lead of all others in this locality
shipping grapes, having had an output
of eight tons. His fruit is said to have
been fine, with we'll developed clus-
ters, but the grape markets have ruled
too low for big profits. The little
boom in wheat prices last week has
started this grain ON the move, and
there is good deal of activity here
loading cars.
Peaches continue to come here in
considerable quantities, but because
of the ruling low prices much interest
in them for either dealers or producers
is lost
Cheswold schools started last Mon
day with James NJ. Satterfeld, of
Dover, as principal, and Miss Fannie

Central NJ. E. Church, on the Ken
ton charge, held festival Friday and
Saturday evenings Of last week, at
which thay cleared about $40, for
some repairs on the church.
Cheswold Sunday School has in con-
temptation rally day" to be held
the 7th of October, the object of which
is to reclaim the lost forces created by
hot weather and various summer diver
sions. Committees have been ap-
pointed who will doubtless make out
an interesting program for part if not
the entire day.
With slightly cooler weather last
Sunday, church services were more en-
durable and better attended. Pastor
Gardner gave his hearers very
thoughtful discourse on the "Christ-
like Character" in the morning; and
in the evening from the text, "Watch-
man Tell Us of the Night, which was
treated metaphorically and was also
very interesting and directed to the
young.

her daughters, Mrs. C. F. Harper,
