CHEswoLD, June 22.-Wheat harvest
became general on Monday in this
vicinity. Nearly car load of rasp
berries and black berries came in this
market to-day. The former sold at
from cents to 11k cents, and
the latter from z cents to cents per
quart on the open market. A few
strawberries also, grown by Edward
E. Evans.
The baseball interest here has not
abated any. Indeed it has never per-
haps been more intense than at the
present time. The defeat of Dover
recorded last week with a score of 10
to and the very even contest with
them at home on the Academy Cam
pus last Saturday resulting in the
score of 10 to 16 in favor of Dover has
produced the widest interest in the
deciding contest which is now booked
for Wednesday afternoon of this week
at Cheswold. Our Cheswold organ
ization, which includes also Mr..
| Thomas of Leipsic, are up to it and
really credit to us at home, but un-
fortunately not strong enough to meet
contestants on the diamond away
from home with all their best players.
| This was the case last Saturday
when three could not leave business
at home to meet Dover, Thus fixed,
they met Dover with men as they
could get them to fill the broken
ranks with shifted positions to suit
the conditions. Hence the first six
innings found the score of Is to 4 in
favor of Dover. At this stage of the
| game Cheswold restored its men to
their accustomed places as best they
could and in the seventh inning
scored eleven runs and batted Nc
Daniel out Of the box. This left the
score a tie and at the close of the
ninth remained so and it required
fourteen innings with a rev pitcher
for Dover to score one more for vic
tory. The last five innings was fine
playing and was witnessed by a large
crowd of spectators. A fine game is
expected here Wednesday,
The Seventh Day Adventists" of
this vicinity have been for two weeks

To a large congregation Sunday
morning Pastor Goodhand dlscoursed
on Emotion in religion" with points
of much interest to his audience. In
the Sunday School it seems anomalous
to say the young men are not receiv-
ing a co-education of the sexes very
kindly. Superintendent Boggs has
decided to restore them to their for
mer position with Mrs. Goodhand as
: teacher from a merged class of ladies.
