The three sons of John Tomlin who
were hauling baled hay last Saturday
had a narrow escape. Going into pitch
hole in the road the load slipped for
ward uyon the horses, causing them to
run. All three boys were thrown of
but the youngest was landed astride the
wagon tongue between two horses mad
with fright. No help could be given
him and all the men who witnessed the
runaway could do was to shout Hold on
tight" This he did, and when the
horses, running into their old yard
hit the tongue on the Darn, the vehicle
stopped and some neighborly women ran
out to uncover the little fellow and
found him unframed.

Sunday morning came as surprise to
many. especially some of our old proph-
cts, who have been predicting that our
coolest weather had passed by for this
winter. On arising Sunday morning and
taking a sniff out of doors convinced
them that there was something more
afoat in the gentle breezes than the
sweet odor of flowers
The long looked for moist spell OF
weather came our way Wednesday the
past week but did not remain suefi-
cient length of time to do justice to the
casing of tobacco satisfactory to most OF
our tobacco growers However, the
most of them were able to get down a
portion of their crops. We are informed
that several around us got down about
one-half of their acreage, which will fur
nish them with work no doubt until we
have weather to take the remaining part
down. as help to pull it from the stalk is
out of the question. Farmers will have
TO manage to do the job with their own
forces.

1t failed to get the necessary votes,
and 1t is not to be wondered at that
the Prohibitionists of Delaware feel
that they must cut loose and run
a ticket of their own, so far as this
particular subject is concerned.
But there are other matters in
which a Prohibitionist is interested
and for the purpose of other mat
tiers IN State and county govern
ment, even the great body of those
who sympathize with, and would
vote for prohibition on a square
vote, they would not support the
nominees of that party, because it
would jeopardize the election of
those who are in sympathy with
their opinions in other matters of
as great, or even greater, import
ance. One issue alone can never
govern a State campaign, and the
Prohibitionists will soD,e of these

will not support ticket standing
