THE CURB MARK EFT.
e Producers and Consumers:

To the Producers and Consumers:
The purpose of the Business League
in advocating a curb market for the
sale of country produce, vegetables,
fruits, eggs, ETC., to be held Tuesdays
and Fridays was not intended to cur
tail the sale Of same from wagons
from door to door-and as a matter of
fact, there is no ordinance against it,
but it was desired that no peddling
be done during the curb market hours,
all producers having regular customers
on whom they call Of course would
continue to supply them as usual and
make sales from house to house, but
it occurred to the Committee that this
could be done after the market hour
and our letter 3rd should have so stated.
These curb markets have proven very
successful and satisfactory in many
other towns and it is thought that i'm
provements in the methods Of con-
Quoting it may bring it up to a point
where it will become useful to all
concerned. If after a fair trial, 1t
should be found that it is not desired,
or does not prove in any way benef'
cial, it can be discontinued but do not
condemn it without a trial and we ask
for the cooperation Of h~ouseholders
and all others concerned. Many Of the
producers and others who have beer
interviewed spoke favorably Of thu
proposition.

SEWING FOR SOLDIER BOYS.

The ladies of the Red Cross are
busy sewing for the soldier boys who
are wounded and have to be carried
to the hospitals, as all Red Cross head
quarters are doing. The impression
has gotten out that the LeAore Chapter
is sewing solely for Battery G., but
this is a mistake. While they are
doing for the home boys, it is for any
American soldier who is in need Of
these things, and all garments are
sent general headquarters.
The material is at our headquarters
for any one who wishes to knit or
crochet, and the committee will be
glad to have you call and get some
of it, and proceed to do your bit.

DR.. T R. Henderson visited Runne-

a look at the crops on that magnificent
estate. DR.. Henderson reports the cot
ton crop as being pretty good notwith-
standing the fact that it is fully two
weeks late. He informs The Daily
Commonwealth that cotton will make
a good yield, provided the boil weevil
doesn't destroy the crop. The Doctor
says the old corn, since yesterdays
general rain in this section, is now
made and the yield will be abundant.
Manager A. G. Stevens, Of the Run
nemede plantation, sent us a half
grown cotton boil by DR.. Henderson,
which was taken from the field on that
date.
