A PoL1cTIcAL discussion is rarely ever
heard now. The people used to talk and
quarrel; now they read, and, some of them
reason.
A LARGE number of our country people
apparently are to busy in the day time
to mako purchases except at night. And
it has been thus all summer.
A LOAD of sea trout was in town yester.
day and speedily bought up by those fond
of q fry. There have not been so many in

yesterday and will commence on tomatoes
tomorrow. The evaporators will be run
ming the balance of this week, having had
a run of six weeks.

commodate the display and we are satisfied
that all who visit the State Fair will be
permitted to see full line of Delaware
production.

license will have a so cts. clerk. .ot.tho.

will not try the summer experiment again
of running but close from July to October.

the town commissioners whose duty it is
to see after it to the bad condition of the
road in front of our depot. The passage
way beside the cars is entirely too narrow
there, and our citizens should by some
means have the projecting dwelling there
set back on % line with the other houses
