LITwALTON GETS HIGH SCHOOL.

The spirited contest between the viii
lagos of Litwalton and Wheaton over
the question as to where the high school
in that section of White Chapel District
should be located was settled Wednes-
day when the School Trustee Electoral
Board, composed of DR.. +. w. Lewis,
Division Superintendent; DR.. w. F.
Dunaway and Frank G.. Newbill, Com
monwealth's Attorney. decided upon
Litwalton as the proper location. The
question came up before the above
mentioned Board on appeal from the
District Board which had decided upon
Wheaton as the proper location.
There was much feeling displayed by
the two factions in the discussion of
the question, and there was division
in the Board upon the final vote-one
member voting for Wheaton and
another for Litwalton. The chairman
of the Board then cast his vote in favor
of Litwalton and this finally closed a
long drawn out and heated fight among
the citizens of that section. t- o.

PICNIC TO fLEETON.

On Wednesday last party of twenty
three boarded Mr.. Luther Sanders
boat in Little Bay, for trip to Election.
Among the twenty-three could be seen
those with the silvery locks, the middle
aged. and the youthful brow. Every
body was out for jolly good time, not
only while on the water, for baskets
filled with all sorts of good things to
eat were stored away to be opened
when our destination was reached.
After very delightful run of about
two hours, we landed on Election wharf.
Dinner was served, using fish boxes for
the table, as well as for seats. This
being over, we walked about and made
a general survey of the town Il suppose
Ishould say). One ofthe young men there
kindly consented to satisfy each and
every one of US, about one thing-our
weight. The most of US out-weighed
our expectations, (but you know we had
just had dinner). SIS" -
Of course we would not think of leav.
ing there without going up to the hotel.
We sat there for while:enjoying the
fine sea breeze, then we were afforded
some very sweet music by one of the
young ladies in our party.
Being now about 8 or $3.50 o'clock we
started for home, but sorry to say for the
good of some, myself included, it was
very rough, and as is the general rule
several were sea-sick, and to those whe
were sick it seemed that home wa:
many, many miles away, but finally
about 6:30 O'Clock. we landed safe anC
sound on dry land.

his kindness meier be forgot by any
one who went on his boat to Election

TAFT.

This week everybody is busy with
their farm work, fodder is being strip
ped and tomatoes picked, but the to-
matoes keep green and the crops will
be late this season. Some have just
finished seeding German clover, but if
they have good season it will get its
growth and roots by the last of October.
Some make the mistake of sowing too
soon, for July is usually hot and dry
month. l was reared on the farm and
have watched these things closely.
The fishermen report fish scarce and
prices in decline. Some days the catch
is nothing and others very few, but it
is hoped both price and catch will
increase.
Uncle Henry Young, colored, was
drowned off this wharf afew weeks ago.
1t is supposed that he was not in his
right mind at the time.
The wharf here has been improved
by having two large warehouses erected
at the peir-head which was badly needed
to accommodate the public. George
Brown and J. l.. Scott did the mechanical
work. This is good piece of property
and should. as it has, have every inn
provement. Any man that desires
beginning business can do well at such
a place. Good drinking water and a
plenty of water products in season.
The canning factory at this place has
been running only few days in every
week for the past two weeks as the
tomatoes are slowly ripening, but at
this writing they are coming in daily
and keeping the pickers and the canning
men quite busy. Next week will be
about the rush with them. The yield
will be short this season and the facto-
ries win not pack as many as they ex-
pected. They will close about the last
of this month or first of next.
Oyster season will open in about IL
days and everybody that has a boat is
trying to get it ready for the opening
day and take advantage of all good
weather before Christmas. We hope
the business will be more profitable than
last season. The oyster business is the
main wheel to this county.
Calves and eggs keep well up in
prices. Poultry and stock can be made
a profitable business.
Mr.. Garrett, of Mill Creek. lower
Middlesex county, is thinking of erect
ing cooper shop at this place if he can
make arrangements. Such a shop in
this locality will pay. as many barrels
are handle around in this section during
trucking and oyster seasons.
The fourth and the fifth Sundays in
last month were quiet around here as
everybody was at Wharton Grove camp
but they all have returned and are sit
ting inthe same old pews and listening
to the Sunday school teachers and the
pastor G. A. Hall.
DIR. II. b. Treakle, of Richmond. is
down few days this week.

Beauchamp. this week. Mr. Beauchamp
is pastor of large church in that city.
