neer Cheswold is now closing out his
grape crop for this year which has
proved to be the largest crop, with the
most perfect clusters and brought
him the best prices in his experience
with grape growing.
Five cars were loaded here to-day
with tomatoes at 12 cents per basket.
Twelve cents was the price paid most
of last week until Saturday when they
dropped to ten cents. Tuesday of this
week it is thought will be the big day OF |
this tomato season here. Our cannery is |
now rushed also.
James R. Brown is building a front
annex to his home in the southern
limits of Cheswold.
Inspired by the beautiful moonlight
last Friday night about 20 young peo-
pie of Cheswold composed strawrlde
company to festival held in the grove
surrounding Central Church, near
Cheswold.
Notwithstanding the large force OF
skilled workmen and laborers engag-
ed in grading and bridging for the dou-
BILE railroad track it is not yet IN evld-

The bridges at the Hoffecker pond,
two miles north and at Fork Branch,
two miles south of Cheswold are ted
