To Conduct Cafe.

Manager w. A. Hollebaugh. of the
Colonial Theatre, will conduct the new
cafe on Conduit street, which is short
ly to be opened in connection with
an up TO- date hotel adjoining the thea
tire. At first it was thought that Mr..
who conducts the restaurant
on Church street, would manage the
new hotel and cafe adjoining the thea
tire, but there has been a change.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Gueinot
cannot get proper lease on the cafe
for at least year, he refuses to run it.
Manager Hollebaugh will, therefore,
conduct the new hotel and cafe, and
will accommodate the theatrical COM
panies, many of whom could not Sc
cure proper accommodations heretofore

GETTING READY TOOYSTER
Encouraging Outlook For The Coming
Season Of The Bivalve.

The local oystermen have begun to
clean up and put things in readiness
for the coming oyster season. The
hundreds of persons who make their
living out of the waters of the Chesa-
peake bay and its tributaries are now
busily engaged in making prepara-
tions for the opening of the oyster
season.
The longing season in the upper bay
and its tributaries will open Thurs
day, September 1, the first day in the
'sR'' months, but the season in the
waters of Somerset county and in the
Potomac river does not open until Oc-
tober 10 and the dredging season be-
gins on November l. Most oystermen
are disposed to take rather an optimis-
tic view of the outlook, and the re-
ports from down the bay indicate that
the growth of young oysters is large
on many of the best beds. In some
sections the oysters are said TO be COW
cred with mussels, as is found to be
the case with some oysters off Hack
ett's Point, but it is not believed that
any serious damage will result from
this cause.
There are a number of oystermen,
however, who look upon conditions
as anything but favorable and who say
that unless something is done the oys-
ter industry in Maryland is doomed
An early fall will. mean that the Oys-
ter season will start in briskly and
that business will be good from the
start, but if the weather remains
warm during September the real open
ing of the season will likely be post
poned for two weeks anyhow. The
heavy ice in the bay last winter, it is
declared, did not do the oyster crop
for this year any good, and the pillag-
ing of the beds by the dredgers Of
shells as we'll as the oysters has been

A Unique Catch.

First Mate George Ward, of the
May Brown, has in his possession a
bushel basket of oysters all of which
are covered with mussels. They were
recently caught bya number of oyster
men off Hackett's Point. As rule
oystermen do not like to find oysters
covered with mussels. 1t prevents
them from keeping so we'll. The mus
sells are of the tiniest growth and re-
semble the smallest bivalve.

AUGUSTA PIONEER
 DROWNED IN WHITE

Last Friday morning about g o'clock Ed Rider, who had been towing some loose logs ashore a little below Soles' saw mill, was missed and reported drowned. Soon after a dredging party was at work seeing if he could be found. It was kept up at inter- vals until Tuesday, when the news was received that he had been found about two miles down the river, near the railroad bridge. He was brought to town and as soon as the preliminaries could be completed was buried in the city cemetery.
 He was one of Augustus old est citizens and was known as a peaceable and unobtrusive man who always attended to his own business and never attended to others and was well liked by those who knew him. Augusta Free Press.

TEMPERATURE SEASONAL.
Much Progress in Crop Cultiva. tion Made the Past Week.
 Grains Doing We'll.

Following is the weather and crop report concerning Arkansas for the week ending May 3l:
 The temperature was seasonal during the week, with light scat tered showers. All farm opera tions were carried on without in- terference and crops are as rule free from weeds and, while not suffering from lack of moisture, are beginning to need rain.
 Cotton made good progress; the early planted is being worked out and in the southern portion chopping out is we'll advanced. The late planted and that which was replanted is generally com ing up to good stands, although in some sections there is some that is not up, as the ground is too dry for germination.
 Corn is growing nicely and is generally in good condition. It is we'll cultivated and in some sections in the southern portion has been worked out the thirl time. The stalk is general. small, but healthy and of geo color.
 Irish potatoes are doing well. In some sec tons they are being harvested and good yields se- cured.
 Wheat, oats and other small grains are doing nicely.
 Pastures and gardens are gen. erally in good condition, but would be benefited by rain.
 Apples and peaches continue to promise an average yield. Blackberries are abundant and are beginning to ripen.

Questions asked and answered in and about Jacksonport.
 What kind of a time did the people have at the ice cream supper last Friday night? We'll now, that is a pretty hard ques- tion to answer and be positive that you are telling strictly the truth, and you know 1 do not care to prevaricate; but 1 can didly believe the majority of those present had an excellent time; of course some fellow may have taken possession of some other fellows best girl, and one of the two probably did not en- joy himself. This 1 do not know to be a fact, but 1 merely stated that it possibly happened. Then, again, for others it passed off as anticipated, so they were over joyed.
 I want all of our friends to re- member that on Friday night, June 3, there is going to be a grand ball given at Jacksonport. So now boys get yourselves ready and bring all the girls you can. There has been the very best music arranged for, so we hope to have an enjoyable time till the wee sma' hours drive us home ward.
