car load came in and the popular
"Gandy" variety sold up to % cents.
Farmers are busy driving their work
ahead ready for hay and wheat har-
vests. Putting out tomato plants IS
general in this vicinity.
Four years ago John r. Mingus,
near Cheswold, attracted by the strong
vigorous appearance of single straw
berry plant transplanted it for trial.
He has found the fruit large and of
excellent flavor and good shipper.
From the one plant he put out 5000
this spring and feels that he has struck
luck in its propagation. He says it is
a Seeding with perfect blossom. If
his expectations are fully realized it
will probably be named Mingus.

DR.. Corkran gave us little surprise
and our church people great pleasure
by preaching in Cheswold Sunday
morning, from the text found in Luke
9th chapter and 90 verse. He dwelled
upon the point that Gods laws are
not arbitrary but for our good. That
! self denial though hard sometimes to
, put in practice is beneficial. That our
, mental and bodily forces are likely to
lead into ruinous excesses unless well
guarded. His remarks were directed
+ to the young on character building
with much sound and comprehensive
i advice.
