Happenings and Personal Mention.

special Correspondence to the Times.
CHEswoLD, Aug. 24:-E. S. Garrison
has contracted with a skilled workman
who will soon enter upon a renovation
of the interior of his mill near Ches-
void with the view of putting therein
a new and up to date machine. 1t will
probably be late in the fall when the
work is completed. G. B. Massey is
the well known proprietor of the mill.
Our public schools will reopen next
Monday for the school year. Miss
George Arnold of Lincoln enters upon
her second year as principal and Miss
Edith Hutton of Dover will have
charge of the primary department.
Little Arthur Ford, son of Edwin
Ford, while riding home from Ches-
void last week in charge of a horse
attached to dearborn (his father rid
ing ahead of him conversing with a
neighbOr) the horse took freight and
whirled the little fellow out, infict.
ing some bruises and cuts about mis-
person and wrecked the dearb3rn bad
iy in its flight toward hove. 1t was
spoken of as a narrow escape for him.
Our shipping market was very lively
today made 6 by the larger quantities
of tomatoes coming in and the interest
at-scled to cantaloupes because of the
phenomenal prices they are bringing
in the city markets, viz. $4.OO or over
per crate containing As, or about 10
cents each when packed in good shape.
Peaches have fallen off some but hold
about the same price, $1.15 per basket,
for "Elbertas" as one week ago. Har-
ry Ross our largest grape grower is
closing up his "Moores" and entered
upon the "Concords" today. About
one car load of tomatoes went out at
prices ranging from IS cents to %
cents per basket. They reached 30
cents per basket here last week. Our
csnnery received today perhaps the
amount of the shipments on contract.
