Fear Tomato Glut.

Many OF the farmers already are fear
full Of a glut in the tom~to marke'
when they are on in their1ullest ield,
because Of the fact that almost every
farmer has put in a larger nunbe' of
rlsnts than they ever have, thinking
they would be bile Ia realize the same
prices that they did last year at the
station where there are bu, ers. And
because Of the prices paid by the buyers
last season many farmers have not con
tracted their crops, hoping to get larger
prices by selling to the shipper, who
will buy for the Philadelphia aud Bal
timore markets The result is likely
to be glut of tomatoes on the markets
which will mean that the farmers will
lose money by mt having contracted
instead of depending on chances for
selling a few baskets for 30 or 40 cents
per basket.

Several Of the people who are in the
habit of attending the games of base
ball that are played on the grounds Of

club and the home team. They say
that the game was poorly played by
both sides, and some who attended
were thoroughly disSusted. All during
the season the games have been well
attended, but few more of these kind
of games VIII soon cause the people to
lose enthusiasm, and the association
woIild lose money ifsuch should occur.
These facts are mentioned because they
are the sentiments Of the people, and
something should he done to improve
the game and hold the patronage that
the association has md in the past

The spinstcrs' Return.

On ccoun of lack of space last week
we were unable TO say oil that we would
have liked to have said about the ladies

peIsonated characters in "7he Spin

week. They ell did well-remsrksbly
we'll, snd If the writer has any idea that
some q of the number did e little bet
ter than some one else, be has too much
regard Tor the hair which ia already be-
ginning to chow the grey 20 say any
thing about it.
With one exception-we wish to COM
pliment the good lady who imperson-
ated Tiny Short" on her skilful msn-
i~pulation OF her responsibilities. We
always did think you could manage
children through their love of sweet
things, and now We know it.
And If there Is any male person in
this section whose aspirations incline
towards the chair of the presiding off,
Ger in any order to which he may be-
long, we would advise him to call on
the President of the Spinsters' Associa-
ton and get a pointer or two as to how
to override the opposition.
We think we voice the sentiment oil
all in expressing the hope that the next
visit of ''The Spinstere'' will not be lone
