ODESSA,


Special Correspondence of State Journal
ODESSA, July 9.-Fruit season is on, at
least large quantities of expenditures are
being shipped daily. The prices have not
ranged very high M yet. but when n better
Quality of fruit comes on we trust the prices
will increase in the same ratio as the quality
of the fruit.
The town authorities have had men engaged
in trimming the trees along the highways,
and the Improvement thus wrought lis very
marked
Beach parties are quite numerous and every
evening the young folks are seen vending
their way to the various places of resort.
"Willow Grove, Lake." about two miles from
this place, has been very nicely arranged for
pleasure parties and this is getting to be a
favorite resort for the people generally.
gentleman was, yesterday, negotiating
for building in which to establish drying
house in this place. Whether he succeeded
in securing one am not able to state at this
writing.
Large numbers of visitors are daily arriving
at this point from various places to spend the
summer vacation with their country cousins.
Several of our townsmen are still quite un-
well. Among the number are Danial Stephens,
Ephraim Knowles (grandfather) Christian
Griifenberg and several others. They are
now slightly better and are hopeful for a
speedy recovery.
The NJ. L. Sunday school will give its
annual excursion on Tuesday next to Collins
Beach.
Several daily lines of barges will be estab-
lished i'll short time to convey the fruit to
market from this locality. The Clio also will
have steamer to run on alternate days. and
thus establish daily line from here. These
will give u very active aspect to the trade
when the work begins.
Bishop Scott has taken trip to Rchoboth
for season. We trust the trip will be n
season of recuperation for him, as his health
has been impaired for some months past.
ODESSA, July 13.-Some serious epidemic
has taken hold upon the cattle in this locality.
Mr.. Heller lost two valuable cows, and Mr..
Duggan one, of the same disease, during the
past week. We hope the malady may spread
no further.
The negroes, inspired by fire WATER on Sat
Irdav night created quite an excitement in
the flower quarter of the town. Their
fighting, bowling and noisy demonstrations
kept the townsmen awake and gave cause for
considerable excitement.
The CliO is running with heavy frcights
both of passengers and live stock The
demand for greater freight capacity will soon
come and supplements will be supplied for
its accommodation.
The dry spell has greatly damaged the hay
crop, and pasture is quite sparse. Threshing
is going on at good rate, and prices, though
small. are we think remuneratiye considering
the yield
Our sick people are, as rule, conva-
lescng.
Tramps are abroad in the land and the
number of them will no doubt soon be aug
mented IN no small degree.

OHRISTIANA.

CHRIsrIANA, July s.-A nice little shower
passed over our section yesterday, which has
done some good to the truck and fruit crops.
The warm weather still continues. The grow
ing corn looks finely The farmers are nearly
done cutting oats. The crop is generally
poor, very many having to NOV their oats, az
they are too short for binding. Those who
have got their wheat out say that crop has
fully come up to their expectations.
Arthur Weber is making little improve
ment by building an addition to his storing
department for the storing of phosphate &c.
When done will look like he intends to push
his business.
Harvest around our vicinity is nearly over
and the farmers will go at threshing their
grain and prepare for their fall work. The
hay crop here is very short. but the late rain
may bring on good second crop. Pasture is
very short, for the want of rain as general
thing The drought did not effect the garden
vegetables very much; cucumbus, melons,
tomatoes and potatoes, both sweet and white,
all look very promising for full crop. Our
merchants are doing quite business during
harvest as the cash has been pretty literally
circulated among the haryesters.

Captain W. W. Clayton, of the schooner
osprey was drowned i'll the Chester river, at
Chestertown, last Thursday afternoon. II
left Baltimore that morning for Morgan's
creek, and after passing through the bridge
"a stih breeze blowing from the south),
lie jiDbed his vessel for the purpose of stop
ping to leave some provisions for his
family which reside in this town.
In doing so the cleat to which the mainsail's
rope was fastened was jerled oil and swung
violently aross the deck, it and the rope
striking the Captain, who was at the helm, and
knocking him into the river. Before the ves-
sci could be stopped and assistance rendered
the Captain, although good swimmer, had
disappeared. 1t il supposed that lie was dis
ablcd by the stroke. He leaves four children,
between six and twelve years of age, in desti-
tntn circumstances.

On Friday last Patrick McNlahon, about 40
years of age was overcome by the heat and
had to quit work. He was taken to his board
ing house on Fifth street between Harrison
and Franklin, where he died Sunday night. He
had been in this country only about six
sent for his family to come over, and they
were to sail from Liverpool Monday. The
death not having occurred until Sunday,
it is doubtful whether the family has had
notification of the fact in time to prevent sail
ing, and they will probably not hear of the
sorrowful event until they land IN this
country. Coroner Butt held an inquest on
the remains at o'clock Monday morning. the
had been previously ndisposed but insisted
ON going to work, and the hot sun Frustrated
him.

HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; see what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. If samples can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants so
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality;
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
Ihere-no matter where
you are-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you =
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
rage than the money you
save in the price.

Special Correspondence of State journal
SMYRNA, July 8.--The 9th was generally
observed here as the Fourth most OF the
stores being closed and the town wearing the
deserted look it usually does on such
occasions. There was not single accident.
Quite large number of people put in the
day by going to Fortescue on the excursion
by the steamer j. q Tygert. On the return
trip it was unusually rough, and fully three
fourths of all on board were the victims of
sea-siclSness, Such a limp, miserable looking
crowd it isn't often our fortune to see
The colored folks, according to programme,
formed a procession and led by their band
marched to woods about three miles from
town, where they spent the day.
Mr.. English, who met with severe accident
few days ago, is improving slowly.
Yesterday the Nj. D. Sunday school pic
nicked at Woodland Beach. About 500 went
and apparently enjoyed themselves.
The editor of the Times being indisposed
this week his place is supplied by able and
competent substitutes, who seem to rather
enjoy playing editor for short time.

This is scorching, baking. sweltering weather.
with thermometer 102 degrees III the shade
and hot wind like simoom from the
desert of Arabia. Vegetation looks as if it
had been passed over by FIRE. It is too hot to
work, too hot to play, too hot to rest, too hot
even to talk politics.
However the world '.do move" if tie sun
does not, and accidents continue to happen
through the only accident from heat so far
reported is the utter prostration of valuable
mare belonging to A.. l.. CumminB.
Peaches will be fairly upon us by the last
of the week and there will be busy times
among the farmers There seems to be n
great dearth of hands and some are anxious
as to where they are going to get help.
The j. T.. Tyge7t, while on her regular trip
on Monday, struck rock in the creek with
her wheel and broke several paddles, which
necessitated her lying of for a couple of
days for repairs.
The evaporation of peaches will be entered
into extensively here this summer. -Four new
evaporators will be started and the two old
ones enlarged.
