On Thursday last, the stockholders sold the
DeImaryia fruit drying house, with the ground
belonging to the same to Messrs. Hubbard =
Bro, manufacturers Of the standard Bone
Phosphate, " whose works are now situated at
Wyoming, Del.
The Messrs. Hubbard, on account Of their
mandatory at Wyoming being situated on
curve in the railroad, have been unable to get
the company 70 construct side track to their
works; because a siding at a curve is consid-
cred BY railroad men as dangerous. For this
reason The manufacturers have been under the
necessity Of hauling the raw materials from the
railroad to their works, and the manufactured
phosphate from the works to the railroad,
causing a considerable outlay for hauling e1-
penses This disadvantage, with others, which
it is not necessary to name, caused the Messrs.
Hubbard to seek another location for'their
works, and finding no point on the Peninsula
which offered better advantages for their busi-
ness, they, after consulting with number Of
prominent gentlemen 10 this community, con
cluded to remove their mandatory from Wy
olning to this place. They soon struck bar
gain with the Delmarvia stockholders, for the
drying house, which they will alter to suit
their purpose and, with new machinery and
increased facilities, commence the manufacture
Of the STANDARD Bone Phosphate" upon
larger scale than ever.
Hubbard's phosphate is not a new thing,
but we'll known to the farmers Of the PENN
sula, and the manufacturers have great
number Of certificates from farmers Of exten-
sive experience, speaking in the highest terms
of its merits as grain producer.
There is certainly good opening here for
the manufacture Of fertilizers, and we are sur
prised, and a little put out to see our capital
lists stand back while parties from distance
come and embrace such golden opportunities
However, Middetown always extends a vel
coming hand to enterprising people "who mean
business and we have no donbt but the
farmers of this community will give a liberal
support to the Messrs Hubbard, and thereby
encourage home industry.
The Messrs. Hubbard have informed US that
they will commence operations at an early day,
50 as to be ready for the fall trade. We wish
them much success and hope that other ener-
getc men, looking for business locations, will
come this way and take look at US, note our
advantages and see how we arc growing.

The great event Of the week was the enter

Both the musical and the elocutionary parts Of
the programme were up 10 very high STAN
dard All the selections were first-class, in
themselves, and rendered in way that would
have made even poor selections very entertain
ing. Several pieces were eneored, and all
were loudly appiauded. In our opinion the
selection entitled IF | Couldn't, How Could

music. Miss X. Cole was recalled twice to

The stCelebrated South Carolina Jubilee
Singers''-ten in number-were here during
this week and gave two concerts in Town
Hall. A large audience listened to them Mon
day night, and a fair audience was present on
Tuesday night The entertainment was fair,
but might have been better; and was seeming
" conducted without system or head
The programme on the first night was not
followed, but was merely touched in places
No programme was given on the second night
and the singing was better. A number Of the
singers have musical talent and good voices,
but they need the restraining influences Of a
good leader who will prevent them from effer-
yescing with too much 'niggerism" at future
concerts. In pecuniary point Of view the af-
fair was not a success however, the gentle
men who lent their names to the venture did
not expect to realize money out Of it, but felt
a great desire to hear the troupe before its de-
parture for Europe. It will probably be some
time before the celebrated South Carolina
Jubilee Singers visit Middletown again, and
we can safely say to those who did not CO.
