CHEswoLD, June S:-The rain has
been the most welcome visitor to farm
ers they have experienced in years. 1t
has restored hope with good cheer.
The strawberry fasco is still being
discussed in all its phases by the
growers, but with much better feeling
than before the rains. The effort to
solve the problem why there should
be such market failure this year is
the string they are yet pulling on for
facts. About 100 crates of strawberries
were shipped from this point to-day
with low prices still existing. The
first shipment of red raspberrles for
the season was made here to-day.
A force of men with carts are widen
ing the bank across the Garrison mill |
pond for the second railroad track.
Mr.. Samuel Moore is building shed |
adjoining his blacksmith and wheel
wright shop. This indicates an exten-

Inns block. Miss Viola Allen has also
opened a millinery store adjoining the

Mr. Harry Ross lost horse last
week in few hours only after the
discovery that it was sick.
The friends of Calvin Boggs are re-

health and tips the beam at 14S pounds.
