HOME HAPPENINGS.

Nearly all the sweet potatoes have
been dug.
Corn husking has begun. The wet
summer was favorable for a good crop.
Sweet potatoes were never OF finer quail
ity thar this year. The dry warm wealth
er for six weeks has been most favorable
for them.
The political pot has begin to simmer
in this region. Much interest will be
taken when Woodrow Wilson comes into
the county next week.
Matthew Mitchell paid George Gaventa
$780, 4 for SO chickens, an average of ST.
S3@ for each chicken. Raise chickens.
1t pays better than potatoes or water mel
ons.
There never were so many late straw
berries as this year. Not only in this re-
gion but in Delaware and Maryland. AT
Chestertown, Md, a third crop has been
picked.
Farmers in Upper Penn's Neck never
appreciated the use of the stone road
more than this year. While those who
live beyond the stone road never saw the
great need of the extension to the Piles
grove line.
The ffty-days drought was broken on
Wednesday night by a down pour OF
soaking rain. About p inches fell and
was readily drunk in by the earth. Dur
ing all that time only a light rain fell on

]. S. FISHER & Son, of Clayton, stating
that the year that the road was to be
kept in repair is up on the 2Sth instan
and ask that the Committee visit and
accept the read before the ext meeting.

on the road, but as yet has received
no reply. A considerable discussion fol-
lowed. Mr.. Charlesworth stated that he
would like very much for the State Com
missioner to see the gravel as there is
considerable complaint and objection be-
ing made by the people along the route
that the gravel is not up to specifications.
Mr.. Keasbey said that he thought that
all the gravel so lar placed Oh the road is
all right but that about all of the good
gravel from the disputed pit has been
used. Some OF the members thought it
up to the Engineer, others
thought the Freeholders should take a
hand in the matter.
Mr.. Charlesworth made a motion
which was carried, that no more gravel
be placed Oh the road until after Tues
day next when Engineer Keasbey said
he would see the State Commissioner
and ask him about it. Mr.. Burk stated
that the matter is entirely up to the Con-
Surveyor and Engineer and that
the Board has nothing whatever to do
with it since the awarding of the contract.
