THINGS IN KENT COUNTY,

Mr. EDIToR-Another order of the Good
Templars ives organized at Wyoming on Fri-
day evening, the 4th inst, by your iudefatiga-
BILE fellow citizen, Thomas Roberts, g. 10.
T., of the state of Delaware, assisted by the
brothers and sisters of the Canterbury Lodge.
Wyoming is a beautiful new village at the
Camden Depot, on the Delaware Rail Road,
where improvements are being made that out
vie ANYTHING on the line of this invaluable
road. We are pleased to see the citizens OF
this thriving place take hold of the temperance
enterprise, and here, We trust, the destroyer,
rum. NAV power come. A large Temperance
House ia being erected here, which when COM
pleted will afford comfortable accommodation
to the numerous persons now visiting our
beautiful state to seek new homes among us
In all good works the beginning IS one half
and the citizens of Wyoming understand tina
by excluding the sale of intoxicating drinks
from their new village. Mr. Lake has long
kept at this place temperance store. which
for neatness of arrangement, aud supply the
! necesssries of life, is not surpassed by any in
the state. 1t is worth q trip from your city to
see it, his prices are as satisfactory as his ar
rangements, aud he is being largely patron
lied. We wish him success.
| We are making large calculations for the
| coming Temperance Convention to be held a.
Middletown on the oath Of May. Here we hop'
1
| fore seen in our State. We expect all the tenn
perance organizations In the State to NEE
with us, aud not only the temperance organiza
tions as such, but all the Christian organiEs
tons also. Every Christian Church 10. o
should be a temperance society. Paul tn,
| great apostle Of the church, said he came :
preach of righteousness, Temperance, an,
Judgement to come" thus making temperate
the keystone of the arch. We trust therefor
1 e.. a.. - Ia 1t.,.@ all
come mp on that day, to show their zeal 70
this holy cause.
Having freed our state from the cause
Slavery, let US unite to Danish rum from on
border, and then indeed may we claim to b
the Diamond State. To aid in doing this, ey
cry lover of his kind should unite. WheI
under the canopy Of Heaven, is there moi
beautiful spot than the State of Delaware mas
: be made. The people OF the Northern Stat
are beginning to understand our many advar
) tages, and are coming here with increase
ratio. Let them come, we bid them WELDON
we want mechanical industry and skill, an
; are willing to aid its introduction. At Oante
} bury Station, building lots beautifully locat'
, are offered to any one who will erect on the
B good houses, without cost. How many
q your city mechanics, who are paying hig
!, rents, could make themselves home at a tr
fling cost, and do their customer work as w
IL by the facilities of the Railroad as thou
they lived in Wilmington.
We are having cold, backward spring, q
a the peach crop has suffered severely. Ma
i ohards are entirely gone. Wheat, where I
".nter killed, looks we'll, the cool weather
ing favorable to that crop.
You may set down Kent County as being
Or the march Of improvement, in which tn
" the Good Templars will largely assist.
