The affair was held on the broad piaz-

The invitations were for a 'bottle"
party; each guest was requested to
bring a bottle (emptyl any size or
shape. OF course every one wondered
what the result would be when the
motley collection of bottles appeared
on the table waiting to receive them.

lengths of crepe paper Of many colors,
cotton, pins, odds aud ends of ribbon,
etc, and requested each guest to Sc

and as yet no one grower has shipped

have been shipped E. z. Brady fell
short on shipping a solid car on Mon
day, which would have given him the
distinction of shipping the first car

other growers and the car went for
ward through Crutchfield & Voolfolk
and the Celery Union. The growers
are realizing a good price for the cell
try and if the weather remains cool
the celery will bring fine returns. A
number of growers will not begin
shipping for several weeks vet, and
some of the best celery ever raised in
this section will go Harvard in about
two weeks. The prospects for a good
crop and good prices are very bright.

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY
italian Sardine in the Waters of Mas
sau Sound

What has been pronounced to be
the regular Italian sardine has been
discovered in large quantities lately
in Amelia river and Nassau sound.
They are, of course, small, very much
resembling the fresh water minnow,
but they are of a bright color and
very transparent. BY holding one up
to the light it can be seen through as
though looking at a clear bottle filed
with water. the tiny backbone being
the only discOloration in the body of
the fish. They have only been seen
here for two or three weeks past and
created much wonderment from our
people. They are seen in schools of
thousands and are found most any
where usually near the shore and
beach and always close to the sur
face of the water.
Already a sardine factory has been
suggested and if these fish give evil
dence of remaining in these waters,
it is believed that not only will the
project of a sardine canning factory
be launched, but it is strongly con-
tended that there will be money in
il.
While party was out boating
few nights ago numbers of these fish
jumped into the launch and it was by
this means that the investigation was
made and they were discovered to be
the real Italian sardine.
The strange phenomena of fish hab-
itation will receive the further atten-
ton of our fish men and may soon re-
suit in the establishment of a new in
dustry for this section.-Fernandin
