BY PAUL PRY

When it was announced that our
good and beloved neighbor, John H.
! Deputy had passed away at a hospital
in Philadelphia, it brought sorrow to
his host of friends here. Only IS days
elapsed between his death and that
of his brother, William, and his ad-
joining neighbor. He was about IA
years old, and life long resident on
his nice farm near here. About last
Christmas he sold his personal prop
erty here and went to Philadelphia to
live with his two sons; at which place
he died. His remains were brought
here Sunday, and his funeral held at
his old church at Union, and interment
in Odd Fellows cemetery.
Little six year old Woodrow Will

Mems cemetery Monday. His father,
Mr.. Warren, is very sick in a Phil
adelphia hospital.

Short, very prosperous farmer near

been in constant attendance here for
over three weeks with great success.
This beautiful spring weather with
peach orchards, and pears, plums and
cherries bursting into bloom, has put
the farmers to hustling, planting peas
and potatoes in the garden. Many are
we'll on their way with their spring
blowing. All we need is help at rea-
sOnable prices. There seems to be
plenty of help, but they all want $3.50
ind $500 a day, and no sane farmer
will pay such eXtraVagant prices, with |
Ill farm produce at pre-war level. The {
armers are offering $1.50 per day, or
Il. 90 and board, or $25 per month, t
md will stand firm on these prices. @
'he laborers are holding out, hoping 7
or a new du Pont road or concrete S
DAD at usual prices. t
