special dislike for the blue bird, in con-
sequence the spiteful little rascals have
driven away the harmless and peaceful
bIie birds to such an extent that it is
seldom that one is seen.

Mr. Walter w. Akin has leased the
National Hotel in this town and took
possession of that well known hotel on
Monday. Mr.. Akin conducted the How
ard House in Elkton, Md. for several years
and was very popular with the people of
that town and the travelling public, and
he will no doubt meet with the same sue
cess here that he did in the Maryland
town.
The summer days are passing all too
quickly. Evidence marking the ap-
proach OF autumn are everywhere about
US. The shortening days, the perfection
wrought in all the weeks of nature, the
"sere and yellow leaf'' on bush and tree,
the stubble fields, the ripening fruit, and
last but by no means least, the reappear-
ance of the luscious oyster on the bill Of
fare, all remind us that summer is wan
ing and the year beginning to grow old.
While coming down stairs at the resi-
dence of Mr.. w. B. Hates Friday MORN
ing, Miss Emma Brown made a mis-step
and fell heavily to the bottom of the
stairs, distance of several feet. DIR.
Chas. A. Richie was summoned, and
after making an examination found one
of the bones in the right wrist had been
fractured. Miss Brown suffered much
pain from the fracture, and it will be sew
eral days before she will be able to use
her hand.
While driving along the road leading
from Middetown to Townsend Thursday
morning, Mr.. Henry Neff's team became
frightened and ran away, demolshing
the wagon and throwing Mr.. Neff out
and the wagon passed over his body.
His son, Master Nelson, was in the
wagon, but was not thrown out as the
horses broke loose from the vehicle
shortly after Mr.. Neff was thrown out.
Mr.. Neff was considerably bruised, but
fortunately had no bones broken.
The Messrs. Burns, of New York City,
attracted much attention on our streets
on Monday with their 20-horse power
automobile. The machine was the larg-
est and most complete ever seen in this
section, and was quite curiosity to
many of our people. The Messrs. Burns
formerally resided at Fredericktown, Nd,
and the remains of their father, the late
Capt. Burns rest in Bohemia Cemetery
near Warwick, Md. They were en- route
for Baltimore, and after making stop
in this town and in Fredericktown, Md,
proceeded on their journey.
The "American Grocer" in its survey
of the canned goods field says high prices
for and limited supply OF canned corn
seem inevitable. The supply for 1903
will likely be far below positive require
ment even If packing be prolonged to
later date than usual. Stocks left over
the past season have been exhausted.
The tomato situation favors strong and
rising market, although the acreage is
greater and larger output is expected.
There is, undoubtedly, large carry-over
OF tomatoes, but generally of Indifferent
quality. Better quality and more solid
cnntents will be quickly absorbed as
there promises to be growing demand
fpr good quality goods.
Mr.. Weisbach, representing the We'll
Haskell, Co., Of New York, was in town
on Thursday, and informed us that the
shirt factory will positively resume oper-
alton on Tuesday next, September 18th.
They will be glad to see all of the old OPP
orators at their posts on Tuesday morn
ing, and guarantee good work to good OPP
orators. This will be very gratifying
