Merchants are doing fairly good
business. Our young friend Irwin
Jarboe has, BY strict attention 10
business. etc. built up good trade.
He is son of Mr.. John s. Jarboe.
Whew There goes Harry SIM
man on bis road racer, ''Neudorf''
bicycle. Arthur Brownley makes
good timeon bis Siberian, beau
ty, indeed, but Theo. Drnry with
his "Cossack takes the lead every
time.
The simmer resorts conducted by
Mrs. Dunbar, Mrs. Palmer and Mr..
George Rogers are the recipient OF
boarders from Washington, d. G.
Plasterersand painters follow after
carpenters aud their work is well
done.
Watermelons and eantaloupes will
soon be ripe and the principal rails
ers Messrs. John b. Courtney and
j. Dallas Evans will no doubt sup
ply the home market.
Roads are in tip-top condition and
friend Bob is u tip-top road super
visor.
How we sympathize with poor
oxen. Really some drivers and own
ers, forsooth, are halIucinated with
the pertinacious, chimercial dream
that they are bona fide Christians.
Poor overloaded, overdriven and
much beaten creatures. Thank you,
Azzana, for your sympathy. Weare
aware that we have no elective pow
er. Instinct is our Polar star. We
are at the mercy of those upon whom
the omnipotent Creator stamped
reason at their primary formation.
A large percentage OF our owners
and drivers seemingly forget that
under the guidance and direction of
this beam Of His, He has placed the
whole economy of human actions.
We fear that the halcyon times of
Edenic prosperity, purity, and glory
whenever il may be ushered in will
not be shared by them unless, for
sooth, they stop travelling the broad
road to perdition and treat MS as
pefdition and treat Us as creatures
with yetebrae and sensitive nerves,
etc.
We notice that peaches are plenti-
ful and that grape vines are replete
with clusters of the delicious fruit.
Up to date no one has travelled
this way in an automobile. After
awhile they will be seen as frequent
as Auroraappears in North America.
The white flag, which indicates
clear and fair weather, has been
floating lin the imagination) here
about for some days. The "cold
wave" flag infrequently is seen in
the minds eye.
Land is gradually changing hands,
and we note that the Price farm of
st. Jerome's Neck, which gradually
passed into the possession of one OF
Mr.. George M. Bohanan S sons, has
been purchased by Mr.. Albert
Combs for e, 200. Messrs. Acklers
and Hall have purchased the Green
well farm contiguous TO Point Look
out Greek, and Mr.. ]. Frank Smith
has purchased the farm which for
merly belonged to the late James
langley.
Old fishermen say that fish are
slow to take the hook. They are on
the grounds before the chanticleer
sounds the warning of approaching
day, but few bites are noted aud
baskets have o. written in their
bottoms.
Some poultry is being shipped and
fair prices are realized.
Flowers continue to cheer rs with
their variety ofcolors, etc. Ancient
beliefs relative to them arc notcred-
tied. The EVIL eye is not believed
to be warded of by the perfumeof
particular ones.
Nothing is more reasonable than
the endless progress OF the human
mind, and it is pleasing tosee child
rem, white and colored, attending
their respective Sunday schools.
Reason, consciousness and revela-
tion tells US that the mind survives
the dissolution of the body and TO be
happy 1t must progress. The great
God has provided Sunday schools
for the improvement OF the intellec-
tual and moral powers of the mind.
Parents cannot be too particular in
having their children attend said
schools, the teaching Of which will
instill into their plastic minds dc
sire for increased and increasing
knowledge. AzzANA.
