Lost His Jurisdiction

Justice Brewer says the Justices of
the peace in the Western country have
an exalted Idea as to the limits of their
jurisdiction. each believing himself as
big and as important as a Justice of
the supreme court.
There was justice OF the peace of a
county in Kansas, the border line of
| which was part Of the boundary line
between Kansas and Missouri. The
justice owned a large farm OIL the edge
Of the county. A farm hand and his
son were working in the field and the
justice was seated upon rail fence
running along the State line, bossing
the job.
Some Misunderstanding arose be
tween the farm hand and the son, and
they began fighting After watching
them while the justice in bis most
dignified way, from bis elevated posi-.
t1on on the fence, called out in steptor- |
ian voice;
"Gentlemen, in the name of the law
Of the State of Kansas, and by virtue
Of my authority, l command you to

Just then the rail broke and the Jus
lice landed in Missouri. Arising to

The week was a most profitable one
for the militiamen and they secured a

did not have the least idea before going
to the fort 1t will be OF the greatest
value to them hereafter. What they
learned at the reservation Will also be

The entire week was given over al

THE TOMATO CROP THIS
YEAR WILL Be SMALL

That the tomato crop in this State,
Maryland and New Jersey is much in
eerior this year compared with last year,
was a fact brought out at the meeting
Of the Tri-State Packers Association,
held in Wilmington last week. The
matter was discussed with q good deal
of seriousness by the members of the
association, and from the general indi
cations observed in the States named
the supply will by no means meet the
demand this year.
The meeting was called to order by
W, o. Hoffecker Of Smyrna, president
.0fthe association. Among those present
were E. Greenbaum, vice president for
Delaware Charles Wightson, vice.
president for Maryland e. NJ. Dashiell,
secretary and treasurer, and Robert S.
Fogg, of Salem, n. J.
The reasons attributed to the failure
OF the tomato crop were said to be the
excessive hot weather and the recent
heavy rains. The prospects were said
TO be very discouragiHg and there is
HOthing that the association can do at
this date to remedy conditions. The
work OF packing has already begun in
many instances.
The most Of the time Of the meeting
was taken up with the discussion of the
tomato, the other crops being reported
Of exceptional yield for this season.

This week concrete pavements about
the Chapel in South Milford have been
laid and the work will be great com
fort to the people residing out Wash

been done years ago, but the title to the
Chapel was in dispute, and the work
was postponed from time to time to
permit an agreement, which was finally
made, and now the work is completed.

Grange Picnic Shiny Attended.

The Grange Picnic held last week
was slimly attended, and it is not sur.
prising that it was; for the farmers
were all engaged in picking peaches or
tomatoes, or sowing scarlet clover seed.
It's bad time to have a picnic when
peaches ale ripening. The State Grange
picnic at Camden on Friday, was ALSO
slimly attended for the same reasons.
Probably the State Master Mr.. Walker,
who resides in New Castle County, has
learned that the farmers Of Kent and
Sussex counties have very different
system Of farming from that practiced
in his county, and when another pic.
mic is arranged for in middle or lower
Delaware, their convenience will be
taken into consideration.
