The colored excursion which left
here for Chestertown on Sunday
was largely attended, about 200 60
ing from here. The crowd was a
large one, everyone being on their

The Summer School is a paying

tion of the fact by attending the

Nearly two carloads of peaches
were forwarded from Clayton on
Monday. The Hale's Early that
otherwise would have bene profit
able were nearly ruined by the
rains and damp weather by rotting
them.
The truck farms show we'll de-
veloped crops. The frequent rains
have been of great benefit to all
kinds of vegetation, but truckers
most appreciate frequent rains, it
keeps their crops growing and

A party of young men composing
quintette went out one night last
