(ktrn husking Is nearly done but j as usual there are some who will not complete the Job until cold weather drives them to It. Election day is the limit usually set for finishing up, but this year many will not reach It, despite the recent fine weather for; husking. A traveling chap recently struck Layton, and the way he "done up" our local checker players was a cau tion. Some of them prided them selves as knowing the game from start to finish but they didn't. John Aber hns moved upon the farm of his deceased sister, Mrs. Lucy Warner, and her children will be taken care of by others than her Im mediate relatives. Miss Fanny Snider, of Layton, Is making a fortnights visit to rela tives in Omnge, N. J. She will re turn home this week. John A. Westbrook Is having a new roof put on his shead. John also has a penny coined In 1781, which was found along the road in Waipack, and' Is totally different from any coin I ever saw. It has lettering around its outer rim and Is in good state of preservation. Our B. of E. enacted a resolution that no teacher shall teach on holi days. I find no fault with resolu tion, but some teachers ignore it, and as a result make two days in stead of one. One day counts for the holiday, and the other for some day missed prior to the holiday. Well, the creamery that was to be built at Layton has ended just where it be gun-in talk. That it- would have been a good tiling, is beyond a doubt, and Mr. Fulboarm has secured creameries in other places. The man who should have taken stock was content with one share, while others shrugged their shoulders, Good bye creamery. Mrs. Eugene Hursh, of Haines- ville, is seriously ill, but it is hoped that she may be restored to her us ual health. To-days election will decide who will be our next Sheriff and Member of Assembly. While both are im portant officers iu their way, it is also very important that they be filled by the best men irrespective of party. But the best men do not always secure the position either in township, state or nation. I notice that the cattle law goes i lto effect Nov. 1st. Jerseymen have heretofore been large buyers of stock from Piko county, and now according to the now law the buyer must notify the Sun. of the State luborculosts C'lUiinisslon and go t iroii'ili mure red tape than would be nejessary to buy, build and equip a nilmuil from Cape May to Layton, ami nil to create enough olnces fi r oarty workers and their friends Jvtrsey is groat on law. A Shower of Meteor. Wednesday morning, Nov. 15, astronomers say, the perioelic show er of meteors will full, and they predict a grand and beautiful exhi bition of heavenly pyrotechnics. The hour at which it will begin is not fixed exaotly but it is expected to be at it maximum at about 1 a. m. and will continue for two or three nights. The brilliancy of the display will be oonuiderably marred, however, by the moon which will be nearly full at that time, thus proving that, pale Luna by ber excentricity is no exception as a distuber of public pleasure to those lunatics on earth who indulge the same reprehensible habit. However, as the period for the unique shower will not occur again in 33 years it will be well for those who desire to witnoss it to se oure seats in advance and be prepar ed to sit up all night keeping a sharp lookout in the direction of the Leo nids, which are supposed to be frag ments of a former comet. Million of them will fall and they will ap pear as dazzling globes of multi col ored flame. The fact that they ignite and dissolve or ooming in contact with the atmosphere is all that saves Mother earth from being shot full of holes and destroyed.
