There was big drop in the tempera-
ture last Sunday afternoon and in the
evening overcoats were out i'll large num-
bers. Many people remembered the pre-
diction of ga killing frost" by Medals
blind weather prophets and wondered if
it were coming true. Heprophesied that
there would be frost on the night of
May 18th which would ruin fruit.
Although it was cold for this time OF the
year, it is no. thought there was any frost
and it is not likely that fruit was dam
aged.
We are indebted to Mr.. r. A. Cochran
for an exceedingly fine bunch of his "Pal-
metto Asparagus, which was left at our
Office on Monday afternoon. The bunch
contained IA very large stocks and weighed
three pounds and one ounce. Many who
saw the asparagus pronounced it superior
to any they had ever seen. Mr.. Cochran
has been growing asparagus for several
years, and is one of the few in this section
who has been successful in producing a
speciman equal to the finest raised in this
country, and always receives the highest
market prices for his asparagus in the
New York markets.
The annual meeting of "Friends OF Old |
Drawers" will be held at that historic |
OLD Church elifice on Sunday, June 18th
the first Sunday in June. These events |
are of more than usual interest and plea |
sure, aside from the devotional services.
it affords the assmbly of many, persons |
from far and near to greet each other.
At the morning service Rev. William V.
Louderbough, of Salem, N. j., will |
preach. In the afternoon historic ad-
dress by Judge Pennewill, of Dover, will
be given. Both these gentlemen are able
speakers and their presence should insure
a large attendance.
Many of our readers will regret to
learn that Postmaster John w. Jols has /
handed to Mr.. S. G. Biggs, President of
the Light and Water Commission, his
resignation as a member of that body. |
Mr.. Jolls informs us that he cannot leg
ally serve as a member of the Light and |
Water Commission while holding a Fed |
etal office-hence his resignation. Mr..
Jolls was elected on May 7th for term
of five years, and the announcement of |
his resignation was great surprise to his |
numerous friends. He was Secretary for |
the Commission and has devoted much |
of his valuable time during the past ele- |
ven years in looking after the. interests of |
the Light and Water plant.
