Burned Bond Satisfled.

One OF the burned bonds OF the vii.

was still open in the prothonotary's of.
flee at Dover, has been satisfied and the
other two are in course Of satisfaction.
The trustees Of the academy explain
the matter of failing to satisfy the judg.
mentS sooner by the statement that
owing to the death of two former tius.
tees Of the academy, who had placed
their signatures to the bonds, it was
necessary to proceed by other methods.
thus delaying the satisfaction to this
date. They also claim that the mort
cages were not burned in June, only
the outstanding bonds against themort- |
cages which had all been paid off were
burned, and there was no danger Of
having to pay them a second time.

Milford Neck News.

After raising large crop of wheat our
farmers think it is hard lines to see it
spoil because of the excessive rains; but
their is another side of the story, that
shows the farmer, or the farm owner,
could have prevented this loss by provid-
ing the farm with large barack in which
the wheat crop could have been stored
and saved from exposure to the rains.
Even the farmers wives have kick
coming, and it is over the weather also.
They report that the young turkeys are
not doing well and that many are diving;
all of which is attributed to the weather;
too much rain and the excessive hot suns.
Corn is looking well, but in some Sec
tons there has been too much rain for
even that crop.
Our public school officials do not please
all the people Of the district and Of course
those displeased think that great mis-
take has been made in selecting all of
them, especially the clerk; but this
trouble will smooth out after the school
starts next fall.
