Elliott, Oscar Sharp, Harley Elliott, Loran German, Claude Phillips, Arthur Ellis, William Marvil and Harry Herman. The company after meeting at the home of Miss Blanche Marvil drove around and then started for the picnic at Zion. All reported having a most delightful evening.

German, H. Collins, Horace Benson, J. W. Elliott, S. M. Ellis, Vernon Hastings, Geo. W. Nichols, Claude Phillips, A. B.

For several days the temperature has been hovering around 100 degrees and some farmers have abandon field work.
Peaches are coming in plentifully but the quality is poor. Peaches are selling here at 15 to 30 cents a basket.
Blackberries are selling at three to four cents per quart and many are being shipped to Cape Charles City.
