MIR. AND MRS. CALEB
BOGGS CELE BRATE 10TH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY -
Mr.. and Mrs. Caleb Boggs cele-
brated their 10th anniversary of
marriage last evening at the resi-
dence of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Hardcastle, near Moorton
(Cheswold). Several from this
town were in attendance and pre-
sents were numerous, among
which was an elegant tea set, a
beautiful set of castors, two fine
sets tea knives and forks, hand
some lamp, a gold pen and pencil,
and if we had time I expect we
could nearly fill a column with the
list of presents alone, as there
were nearly a hundred of us there
and from the looks of things each
and every one carried a token.
We all had jolly good time and
at about $50 were invited out to
partake Of supper that needs no
description, suffice to say that it
was A No. 1 and the kind you will
generally get at the residence Of
mine host Peter Hardcastle.

CURED FIR UT IN AND
ABOUT SMYRNA William Ty-
CERT has finished his fruit evapor-
ating with the following results:
peeled peaches, 1898 pounds; I'M
peeled, 1895 pounds; apples, H.
728 pounds; pears, 96 pounds, or
altogether. 35,132 pounds, against
48,428 pounds Of last year John
Fl. Hoffecker's produce is as fol-
lows: peeled peaches, 5000 pounds;
1900. The canned
goods numerate as follows: pears,
5000 cans; standard peaches, 75,-
900 cans; apples, 10000 cans; to-
matoes, 10000 cans. The canning
Of pumpkins will commence as
soon as tomatoes, which are now
on their last run, are finished N.
7. Underwood has evaporated g.
600 pounds Of peaches and 1000
pounds Of apples. A. L. Hudson :
evaporated 1000 baskets of peach
es, the dried fruit not yet weighed.
John Anthony has 10000 pounds
peeled, $4,000 pounds unpeeled
and 900 pounds of apples. This
makes $4,000 pounds, against co.
O00 pounds last year John P.
Hudson has 1000 pounds peeled
and $4,000 pounds unpeeled. This
was manufactured from a little
over 1000 baskets of peaches. E.
w. Lapham has 5000 pounds peel
ed and 4,500 pounds unpeeled
Voshell & Jerman and Hardcastle
& Jones do not yet know the
they have dried, but the
is greatly below last
year, as much of the fruit origin
ally intended for the evaporators
was shipped to the cities, while
the prices were ruling high. From
the above it would appear that the
of evaporated fruit in
this vicinity will be less than two
thirds of that of last year.
