MILTON NEWS.

To consider the activity that has beer
demonstrated in Milton for the past ter
= days, one would conclude the town to be
a busy one Well, it is now, and has
been for the time mentioned, and will
5 conclude to be as long as the tomato sea
5 son lasts. The peach season is over. and
the tomato season is on in good earnest.
The peach season did not create much
hustle in town. Mr.. Chandler EMPLOYED
many hands in picking, packing and
shipping his fruit; but this work was. in
the main, confined to the orchards and
not to the town. The tomato industry is
directly identified with the town. and
also brings foreigners to the town. This
foreign help IS, however, but little ad-
vantage to the town, as it is said, thev
i've on tomatoes, muchrOOms and few
wild grasses that spring up spontane-
ously along the sidewalks and in the
woods and the vacant fields near town.
ms additional population is no advan-
tage, pecuniarily, but they are needed at
this season to help put up the countrv's |
overflow OF tomatoes. These whom we |
have IN Milton are an orderly set, polite /
and well bred; and, it is true, we could |
not run the canneries without them.
Many thousands Of baskets are coming
to the factories daily; and if the rush
continues and no accident happens, the
pack this year promises to be large And
the canneries are the important factors
that make Milton busy town at the pres
ent time.
The swallows have commenced TO hold
their primaries on the vane of the M. f.
church steeple, making arrangements for
their migration south.
