 Public Whist

 Berry Famine Predicted
 A noticeable shortage and a rise in the price of native strawberries has taken place in the local stores. This condition is due to the fact that there has been little or no rain in te past few weeks. It is estimated by local growers that there will be no berries on the market after next week if there is no rain. Seldom has year gone by like this. with intense heat and no rain for more than two weeka
 With the sixth day of the heat. and with no promise of relief shown. farmers are frantic with anxiety for all crops. Hay has been brought in in most cases, but the crop is very light. being less than half the height that 1t should be. Fruit on the trees is not setting. dry rot having set in in most of the peach orchards in this section. It is thought that the price of native peaches and apples this year will be above that set in any of the past few years.

 School Enrolment There has been much comment of the fact that the school enumera- tion of the town is less than 1t has been in the past few years, and the seemingly contradictory statement of the superintendent of schools to the effect that there are more pupils in the schools of the town this year than there >were last year.
 This peculiar situation is brought about by the fact that there are few CT children of school age in the town according to the enumeration as talk en by the state board of education, which may or may not be accurate. Many of the families in the town seem to feel that if there is given to the cnumerator the correct ages of all children over four years and under Is years of age. there may be some obligation attached to the statement. This is not 70. as many pupils are not enrolled in the schools at the age of {, and many pupila leave school before they arc 16 years of age. The fact remains that there are more pupils in school in the town this year than there were
