on Monday morning ". W COnwell was load
ing cars with pine piles at Lavinis switch. We
were there 10 view the business and by invita-
tion OF Mr. oHwen got into mis- buggy with
MIN 10 visit some other points where he is hav-
ing work done We went 10 places that ] mad
almost forgotten and the growing timber was a
matter Of much surprise. Il has been feared the
cutting Of so much timber will produce scarce
ty after awhile Others nave said the timber is
growing as fast as it is being cut and we ia
some measure incline to the latter belief.
There is certainly much Of il yet in Sussex.
Every growing vegetation on this cool crisp
morning. Was in a high state OF Gu tivatiOn. The
corn looked splendid, the tomato vines beautiful
and all small crops luxurant. We passed by Cap
/ tain Thomas Chases tomato patch at Rey ynOld,s
| Mil, and their vines and their product are re-
markabe at this season Mr.. Chase mad at that
/ time thirty baskets on a wagon ior shipment TO
/ Philade pnia via steamer from Milford. lie
has picked from his patch about one hundred
baskets 10 he present. We went a verv circuit
Gus route through bTambe and through wood
unit, ] began TO get scared and said 'look here
Conwell do you suppose we shall ever ind our
/ way back?'-"Never went anywhere but 1 got
! bach again" SAID Conwell "Gwanr And we
got back sure Mr.. Conwell is busy man. He is
up with the lark, although that genus o. ornith
ology is now scarce in this locality He has
eight different places for the shipment Of lum'
Der on the d. NJ. * V and NJ ID. a " r. Roads
and from these points the shipment averages
two car loads a day. This is taxing lumber from
old Sussex, but as we have intimated, our OBJ
servaIions lead rs 10 believe there is almost as
much growing, as there is being cut. This has
been a business for the county for good many
years, and it is likely 10 c0ntilu to be for a
great many years more. All il needs is men Of
vim and push TO maze this business 60. Con-
well is doing It.
