AN IMPREssIoN.--William p. Corsa, of
the, Milford Chronicle, who was in town
last week, in some notes of Smyrna says:
100000 on deposit in the two banks
argues either that this is q very rich
country where all have more than they
know what to do with, rthat there are GER
tain bullion pockets into which the wealth
has settled to the detriment of legitimate
enterprise. OF this sum, the owners re-
ported anxious to loan on first mortgage
farm bonds with long time to run; but
that farmer who can afford to pay an an
nual rent of per cent. on any great pro-
portion of his plantation must be con-
Quoting some more profitable branch of
husbandry than wheat growing. PhOs-
phate factories are doing for Smyrna what
a whole settlement of evaporatOrs and
canneries can scarcely do for Milford.
They give annual employment to many
hands, they incite enterprise, they trans
form the waste of the earth into the gold
of harvest, they give profitable employ
ment to bank deposits making it possible
for poor, though prompt farmers to obtain
necessary credit to enrich their lands and
thus add to the general prosperity ;
through them as channels, large portions
of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary
land have become borrowers of Delaware
capital and are continually sending their
interest money this way on notes given to
Delaware enterprise"
