Miss Gertrude McCrone, of this town
had very successful beginning in the

The shirt factory resumed operation
Wednesday morning with small force
of operators, but the management expect
to have many more to enter in a few
days. It is the desire of the new pro-
prietors to run the plant to its full capac-
ity, and if this is accomplished, about rs
operators will be employed at the local
plant.
During the present week many OF our
farmers have commenced cutting corn,
and from the information obtained from
various sources, it is safe to state that
the crop generally will be larger than
was expected. 1t is true that in some
cases the crop will not be so good as in
former years, but when the unfavorable
season is taken into consideration, the
crop surpasses all expectations.
We guarantee that the Sherwin- Will
liams Paint when properly used will not
crack, flake or chalk off, and will cover
more surface, work better. wear longer
and permanently look better than any
paint on the market, including pure
white lead and oil. We agree to forfeit
the paint and the cost of applying it if in
any instance it is not found as above rep
resented. Ask for color cards.

Mr. S. E. Massey the genial jeweler
Of our town has sold to Mr.. Durstien the
antique furniture dealer of Baltimore,
two chairs which Mr.. Massey claimed to
be very aged. From authentic reports
we learn that the price paid was $l75,
which SCI ms 10 be rather exhorbiant for
two chairs. Antique furniture is very
popular in this modern day, and if you
have any furniture or china that is over
a century old, make the buyers give you
your price. They will do it.
Since the open season for squirrels,
which began September 1st, very few
have been killed. In some instances
hunters have spent whole day in the
woods without having caught glimpse
If one, whereas, heretofore, it was no
;rouble to bag half dozen or SO. Those
who are acquainted with the habits Of
he gray squirrel attribute their scarcity |
# numbers to two things-the cutting out
# the large timber in our woods, where
hey hibernate in dens, and to the failure |
# the nut crop, upon which they feed.
n the latter case, squirrels have been
,nown to travel for hundreds of miles.
The Hickman Bros, with a superior
company, will produce Down and Up"
t the Middletown Opera House tonight,
september 10th. If the old adage,
Laugh and grow fat" counts for any
hing at all, it will be safe to predict that
nyone who has the pleasure Of witness
ng this performance will increase in
From the rise of the cur
ain until its final fall the spirit of fun
nd mirth prevails, calling forth pro-
onged laughter. "Down and Up" is an
crobatic farce comedy constructed on
Gale differing in many ways from the
verage farce comedy, and it is refreshing
} know that the art Of genuine fun max
lg on the stage, with comedy gymnas-
cs and humor coupled with novel ecenic
fleet, is not thing of the past.
