Peaches and cantaloupes principally
filled two cars on Monday for Jersey
City, besides nearly a car for local
markets. Peaches sold from 80 cents
to 65 cents per basket. Ex-Sheriff
Mcdaniel, of Dover, is now hauling
his ''Belle of Georgia" variety. Among
peach growers previously mentioned
we might add Mrs. Mary A. Bently
and G. F. Harper on the Leipsic road,
James Masten on the Wilson L. Can
non farm, on the State road; William
Boyd, Mr.. Pearson and Perry Becker,
west of Cheswold Cantaloupes of
good quality continue to bring good
prices in the New York market.
Among the few of our cantaloupe
growers who are fortunate as to a uni
form standard in quality of fruit, are
John r. Mingus, T. D. Garrison, Ed
ward A. Evans and Enoch Durham.
The latter from general talk is ex-
pecting to realize 5000 from two acres.
Pastor Roe, with much vigor OF
thought and earnestness in his Sun
day morning discourse dwelled upon
man and his destitute condition with
in himself with Gods unerring law,
which like the finger board on life's
way points and directs, leaving him to
do his part toward accepting or reject
ing the rich provisions made for him.
