ready for market this week. He
had some for his own table on Sun
day. He cut his first cabbage on
Monday, which is nearly week
ahead of any previous year.
E. H. Beck, real estate agent,
has sold the house of Mrs. Maria
Dunlap, on Delaware street, to
George ID. Collins, for $1,000. The
dwelling on the same street be-
longing to Mrs. Anna w. Drumm,
has been purchased by Herman P,
HAZEL, the occupant, for the same
figure.
AS usual, in corn planting time,
owing to the scarcity of corn for
local, Philadelphia market, corn
advanced 4 1-2 cents a busheI.
From more liberal receipts the
market has now returned to its
level. If the farmers would keep
it in mind to have their corn
ready for shipment at planting
time, they would reap the advant-
age of the temporary rise.
This has been a remarkably fine
Spring for setting out plants of all
kinds. E. Beck, in setting off his
new fruit farm west of Brenford,
put out $4,000 strawberry plants,
and there was not over fifty in the
whole lot that did not grow right
off. The same can be said of the
large planting of blackberries,
raspberries, pears and peaches.
This fruit farm of Mr.. Beck's
promises to be thrifty and valu-
able one.
The Smyrna Creamery is now
averaging $500 quarts of milk per
day, and from present prospects
will soon reach 1000 quarts per
day. They are making from 800
to 400 pounds Of butter a day and
are finding a ready sale at highest
market prices. The company paid
out $1,000 for milk in April. The
company expects to put in an ex-
ira separator and be prepared to
separate 5000 quarts per day and
thus be able in a short while to
pay out $4,000 per month.
Joseph Brinton, son of Jerry,
who went to Millington several
months ago to enter on business
for himself, returned here on
Thursday for the "girl he left be-
hind him." Hiss Sebecca Archer,
the remaining unmarried daughter
of Charles B. Archer of "Spruance
City" They went to Clayton and
were made one by Rev. c. w.
Blades. They were accompanied
by few of their young friends of
this town and after the ceremony
the happy young couple rode over
to Millington to take possession of
their new home.
Mrs. H. P. Massey, near town,
who seven months ago sustained
such serious injuries to her spine
by falling down stairs, rendering
her utterly helpless, has sufficient
ly recovered by the necessarily
slow progress in cases of paralysis
to enable her to be put in an ad-
Unstable chair on Sunday, and take
her first look at the landscape
through the window. Mrs. Massey
has been very patient under her
affliction, and has had much inter-
est and sympathy excited in her
case. The chair, which is thor
oughly adjustable one. was prepar-
ed especially for her by G. w.
Taylor.
Two weeks ago % Italians came
down to cut brush on the Shorts
Landing farm, and last Saturday
% more came. This brush is for
use as the foundation for a stone
pile to extend down the river for
Reedy Island, one account says to
Ship John Light. The object is to
change the current in the river
and prevent the formation of a
shoal that is now developing in the
ship channel. The contractr who
is cutting the brush says they will
likely be at work all season. Our
own workmen were employed, but
the rebuilding of the Bombay Hook
railroad and the demand for farm
labor took so many of them away
as to make it necessary to procure
Italians.
