THoRoUGHFARE NECK, Sept. 3d.
There was talk last week at Flemings
Landing of shutting down the cannerv
this week, but they are still comfort
ably busy and will continue in opera-
tlon as long as practicable. There is a
rumor aflOat that the Str. frankie will
bring tomatoes from Milford until the
end of the season. There has been a
great deal of fault found as to the quail
ity of tomatoes at the cannerv. and
some growers have been docked several
pounds per basket which has caused
dissatisfaction on both sides. Few.
indeed, are the patches that have not
suffered from the cool wet weather
The vines in many cases are completely
defoliated, the fruit consequently is
small and sunburnt. The Bohemians
that arrived last Saturday week. were
mostly of the masculine sex. and were
not a success as peelers; several were
employed by farmers to cut corn.
There has been a dearth in farm HELM
IN this vicinity this fall and as high as
S1.25 day has been paid for corn cut
ing. Our farmers took advantage of
the fine weather last week and manv
acres of wheat were drilled. Messrs.
Wilmer Stats, VIM. Warner and Wal
ter CHM have their follow ground
drilled.
A distemper is prevalent among
horses in this section, but thus far no
fatalities have occurred. Nison Ander-
son of near Taylors' Bridge, had a
horse badly cut about the flank and
felt hind foot by becoming entangled
in barbed wire last Friday.
Immense focks of black birds have
made their appearance and are not well
coined by farmers in their corn fields
and tomatoes patches where they do no
small amount of damage.
Little Edgar Deakyne, of near Tav.
lors' Bridge, is suffering with broken
arm, the second time this summer
William Rawley, Jr., who was kicked
in the face by mule and received a
fractured nose, a few weeks ago. is
improving nicely.
The usual morning services at
Friendship NJ. E. Church was very
interesting. Rev. Albert Chandler
preached from part of 18th verse ID
chapter of the gospel of st. John.
