also tenant house for the occu-

ROBBERY On Thursday even
ng a young man looking to be in
his teens, came into town and in
very broken German that could not
be understood properly, excitedly
narrated how all his money had
been taken from him. He went
first to Postmaster Baggs who on
comprehending that it was rob-
berry that had been committed di-
rected him down the street to the
office of Squire E. ]. Colt. The
latter by the aid of his German
neighbor across the way, made out
his story. He had been picking
peaches and had in his purse $10.50
which he was saving to buy him
self a suit of clothes with. In com
pany with several fellow tramps.
he started for Middletown, but
when in woods beyond Clayton
one Of them grabbed him and held
him firmly from behind, while an
other pointed a pistol to his breast
and told him to deliver the money
which he did. The parties took
every cent he had. No warrant
was issued as a train had since
passed.
REV. p. STUBBS IN SMYRNA
The announcement that Rev.
Enoch Stubbs would preach in the
NJ. p. Church on Sunday morning
last called out a very large audi
ence as was expected, being the
first time he has preached in the
house since finishing his pastorate,
four and a half years ago. In the
pulpit with him, in addition to the
pastor was his father, who followed
the first hymn with the prayer. The
subject preached upon BY Mr..
Stubbs was one that could be ex-
panded into wide range of
thought, or the more usual one of
pulpit treatment, Of mans little
ness and insignificance. The rev
erend gentleman chose the former
and for more than an hour held
the closest attention Of the audi
ence as he laid down before them
the line of thought dividing the
skeptic and christian thinkers, and
presenting in his usual graphic
manner the more intelligent claims
and blissful prospects Of those who
live in exemplifcation of the chris
tian faith.
TOMATOES By reason Of the
dry summer, that is, the first half
Of it, tomato plants got a very late
and poor start, making them at
least three weeks later than usual.
It has all happened well, if we do
not have an early visitation of
frost, for the lateness of the peach
crop would have prevented their
use and the crop would otherwise
have gone to waste. The weather
since the first Of August has been
more productive of vines than of
fruit, but there will likely be
enough for the short canning sea
son when the peaches are out Of
the way and the farmers have time |
to gather them. The cannery of |
John Fl. Hoffecker, the only one
we have, will finish on peaches
next week and commence
on tomatoes, and run
until frost puts a stop to the bust
ness. Walter o. Hoffecker has a
patch of eight acres Of fine fruit
age. Supplies will come from 9th
er sources, but this will be the /
main reliance. The number of can
neries in New Jersey and on this
peninsula with their immense pro
duction has brought the market on
the canned product down to a mar
row margin, but the drought of /
last season and hindrances of this /
must lessen the usual stock in mar
ket and give it a higher market
value.
