DlNGMAN'S FERRY.

There was warm time here at
the Democratic ucus on account
Of w. Il. LtytOn having sent a
letter declining a nomination for
and saying that if elected
he woull not serve. II made other
feel rather blue BECAUSE
his friends were in the majority
Hugh 0. Brodhead was nominated.
The Repualica nominated john
W Kilsby for assessor man vino
has the capacity, is discreet and
pains taking His manner of
taking the census shows him to be
shrewd questioner ana fair ap-
praiser of property 1t Is hoped
that there are enough Democrats in
the township who desire competent
officials to aid in his election
Pike county is bound eventually
to fulfill her destiny and become a
general summer resort Oar ua-
tives seem a little slow to appreciate
the situation but outsiders are com
ing in and they will no doubt make
great improvements and build up
attractive places A club has re-

que Toms creek. Mr. Nyce will re-
main as manager and he thoroughly
understands :he business.
George Snyder has moved on the
j. f. Nyce tarm at Egypt Mills ana
expects to do considerable work for
the club
The Mink pond isanartiicial shee
Of water and was made forthe pur-
pose Of preserving fish and selling
the right to fish for them at 81 Il
day. The owner keeps a close watch
over his preserve, bur it is probable
it will pass into the hands of an as.
$ ciauon and the punhc will be shut
out.
Some say the Mckinley admins
tration is responsible for the contrary
weather we are having. Since Mr.
Dunn was displaced from his coop
on top ct the Western Union build
ing his successor seems to have got
tae seasons badly mixed.
M grinding can be done here this
winter We have to go either t,
Milford or Bushkill or else fee
whole grain.
If farmers want to get the bette
# the tobacco trust they would be
ter plant some this spring. Sow tn,
seed about March 1st in rich dir
and when the plants are half an
inch high transplant 60 two inches
apart and when time to set out they
will be large enough The ground
snOuld be very rich and well rotteo
manure IS necessary for it, The
plants should be set about the sam,
distance apart as corn, and if you
nave not enough compost made oi
manure and rich dirt to cover the
ground a shovelful may be placed
at each hill Do not allow the plant
to sucker or go to seed, keep tile
ground we'll worked and free from
weeds and keep the worms picked
off. 1t takes all the product of the
hens now to supply family with
tobacco and if farmers raise their
-own the good housewife can buy
groceries with the eggs instead Of
buying fine cut Directions for cur
ing will be given in season.
Two supervisors who served very
satisfactorily last year have been re
nominated. John Schneider made
the worst parts of his section the
most pleasant to travel by simply
using good common sense in work
ing them and George Jaggcr VIII,
mad the worst piece of road 10 be-
found in the township that in til
Silver Lake district. It was so bad
that there was talk of bonding tn,
town $500 to put it in passable con.
dition hut he has made it smooih h
and good with the taxes. Ifreeect
ed he proposes to widen and put il
in first class shape next summer
and without incurring any extra ex.
pense.
Irving Angle did good work or
the Donaldson hill and should moi
be forgotten. and if John Hood i,
elected we expect i'm to greatly
improve the cemetery and Manol
Hall hills. CESAR.
