Hugh B. Eastburn.

The funeral of the late Hugh B.
Eastburn, native of Solebury town
ship, counsellor-at-law, banker and
prominent both in the Society of
Friends and the Solebury Farmers
Club, will be held at the Soleburv
Friends Meeting House, a mile west
of Newhope, on Saturday morning,
at 1890 o'clock.
Mr.. Eastburn was born in the
township adjoining Newhope on Feb
ruary IL, 1916, and always spent
his summers at his farm, although
residing in Doylestown for many
years. Before actively practising
law he was superintendent of schools
for Bucks county, at the age of "a.
As one of the oldest and best
known members of the Solebury
Farmers club, owner of the old
homestead farm in Solebury town
ship, owner of the Solebury Deer
Park, famous for its gatherings, and
possessing a wide circle of friends in
and around Newhope, he will be
much missed locally.
A widow and two sons survive
him. He died early yesterday morn
ing in Doylestown, after an illness
of several months.

A Pleasing Concert.

From an artistic standpoint the
concert given in the Newhope Pres
byterian church last Saturday even
ing was decided success. Eugene
Phillips is veritable wizard at the
piano. 1t sings and laughs and
weeps under his magic touch.
Mrs. R. C. Magill has forgone
none of her oldtime cunning with
her violin, and again delighted all
who heard her.
Rev. j. H. Patterson, a newcomer
quickly won his way into the hearts
of his auditor. His pure, rich bari
tone voice would make him favorite
anywhere.
Under the direction of Mr.. Patter-
son the choir rendered three selec-
tons in most creditable manner.
Many who were present expressed
a desire to hear this aggregation
again.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1915-06-24
Crop Outlook Good.

The outlook, for good crops on
the farms in the Coryell's Ferry
Community is especially good. The
hailstorm of last Thursday evening
did no great damage, although it
was feared at first that it had. Some
corn in the neighborhood of Ringoes
was cut, but it is growing up again,
and on the Pennsylvania side of the
Delaware it shows few signs of dam
age.
In the ten-mile belt extending
from near Ringoes on the Jersey
side to Lahaska on the Pennsylvania
side, the latter shows better oats
and wheat, almost invariably, due
to the earlier planting, although
that on the Jersey side has made
big strides the past two weeks.
White cherries are failure. on
account Of the rot. At a distance
they look al right, but when picked
they are valReless.
Taken all in all, the appearances
are that this year will produce record
crops in the nearby townships Of
Delaware and West Amwell, and
Solebury an6 Buckingham.
