Peach Notes.

The peach shipments on the Della
ware railroad last week numbered from
40 to so cars per day, reaching on
Saturday 81. On Monday the Troths
being ready for market, they jumped
up to 154 cars, making in all up to this
time $50 car loads. The quantity will
increase daily from this time until the
time for the York and Nixon glut.
Eleven car loads of peaches were
shipped from Clayton, Monday and
13 yesterday. The Troths, now the
major part of those going to market are
not so large as usual. The Mountain
Rose, much finer peach will follow
next, some having already been picked
in early orchards.
The evaporators all commenced Mon
day with more ready peaches from the
last rpening, than they had expected.
The parers and cutters were on hand
at the first call. The establishments

wood, on their farms give employment
to 500 or 600 persons, mostly women
and children.
About all the peaches shipped from
this section by rail, go through the
the agencies of III. G. Douglass or VIM.
G. Hill, Clayton, the consigner hav-
ing his selection of commission house.
Peaches dry the best when fully
ripe. Acting on this knowledge, John
Anthony came to town on Monday,
bought hundred yards of muslin,
with which canvas was made to catch
the peaches as they are shaken from
the trees. This process is better and
cheaper than picking when they are
to be dryed.
The most of the evaporator proprie-
tors have laid in several dozen each
of pareing machines in anticipation OF
a possible deficiency of labor. The
peelers are allowed to use these with
out any charge, or reduction of wages
though they will pare q peach about
three times as quick as with a knife
In town, ten cents u basket is paid
but about two cents more are charged
where they have to walk in the coun-
try,
The growers are manifestlng some
anxiety about the weather. They
would rather see 1t dry than the humid
air and showers that have prevailed
An Improvement has been made In
the process of bleaching. Heretofore
the sulphurizing was done in the
process of drying, now it is done before
the trays are put in the evaporators.
The fruit evaporated thus far has not
"panned out' in weight in manner
to convince that there are "millions in
it,

THE DelGwarean says that the cam
paign in this State is to be fought on
no principle whatever by the Republi-
can party. This is rather hard on the
platform makers, since they took near
ly a column TO set before the people
their position. This is a thing the
voter will have to judge of, when the
combatants come before the hustings.

THERE is some curiosity to see how
the Democrats will treat the temper
ance question, viz. whether like the
Republicans they will ignore it alto

long since learned that the offices are
a great deal more important to the

THE assurance of the Cameron ticket
in Pennsylvania is based on the calcu-
lation that the chief is making shrewd
bargains with the Labor party, a most
uncertain element in Pennsylvania
politics, that has more than once upset
the calculations of the regulars.

in the Delaware College difficulties or

This Summer and Last.

'IhlS summer and Last.
The August report ofthe Agricultural
Bureau makes n most favorable show
ing in all departments. July was with
us a dry month, rs dry as last year,
but its greatest severity was apparently
on this Peninsula and ended on the
first day of this month with q good
rain. The present differs very greatly
likewise from last Summer in that the
heat has not been continuous and the
dryness has been relieved by Occas-
sional rains. Last Summer was dry
and hot, the present has alternated.
For a few days the weather has been
uncomfortable, but as a rule it has been
been very agreeable The season at
the shore did not begin early, and does
not promise to continue late. Our
seasons thus vary, both as to Winter
and Summer. Two years ago we had
an intensely cold Winter; last year,
one of mildness and little snow. There
are also Summers that are hot and dry /;
others that have Q full supply of rains
and mild, gentle heat, when, like the
present, they embrace all desirable
conditions. There was enough heat to
bring forward the early grains, and
recently enough moisture to answer
the needs of the corn and other crops.
So the season has been as perfectly
adapted to our agricultural needs as
could be desired, The West has suffer
ed from occasional tornadoes, but the
East has not been thus afflicted.
Altogether very agreeable Summer
has been experienced, favorable to
comfort and to the progress of growing
grain. All this has contributed to
prosperity, in that the crops of the
country have matured, and are in such
abundance as to show n year of great
agricultural wealth.
This is already beginning to be felt
The crops are sufficiently gathered for
the country to be assured of the general
result. And what remain are located
at the North, in the great wheat belt
and are entirely safe. The prospect is
for the largest ingathering of crops
of all kinds that has ever been known
The only fear is as to corn; but with
weather such as we have been hayinp
II should mature full crop. This
done and il will be season of marvel
Gus prosperity, The crop of wheat is
estimated at 600, 600, 900 bushels, Thai

Caglesville Chronicles.

Editor DEMOCRAT: Having travelled over considerable of the coun- ty recently, l thought would give you my observations in reference to crop prospects. The acreage of wheat is considerable in advance of last year, and up to recent date has promised an abundant yield, but owing to a severe attack of rust great fear is entertained that the crop after all will be rather a short one. The drought has contribut- ed largely to injure wheat, but the May wheat is so far advanced that it will make some wheat, Corn, though backward in growth, owing to the cold snap, will, if nothing else flinders, mako bountiful crop, there being more planted than usual, and up the present farmers have worked their corn better than common.
 Cotton, the fruitful source of one of much of our hardtimes, bids fair in many localities to be TOTAL failure, the seed already planted being rotten, and not enough to replant.
 Oats looks rather poor, on account of the drought.
 Fruit of all kinds will be abundant.

Ed. Democrat: Our neighborhoOd has been sadly bereaved. On the morn- ing of the 9th of April at o'clock, Elder Joseph Harmon was taken ill in- stantly, while setting at the table eat ing breakfast. Threw himself back in his chair and only drew two breaths, never spoke, died in the arms of his two daughters. He was born in North Carolina, in the year 1891. Professed religion at l5 years of age, joined the Primitive Baptist church. Went to Tennessee in 1855. Then to Texas in lS43. Then went to preaching. Lived there thirty years. Then went to Pope county, Arkansas. in 1872, to live with his children. Had only two daughters, Mrs, Burns and Mrs. Rowland, wife of J. P. Rowland. He lived to the ripe old age of Sl years. A few days before his death he weighed 24S pounds. He was the last of a family of seventeen children. Every Christian organiza- tion, regardless of denomination, felt glad when he would meet them in wor- ship. Their hopes were always bright ened when Father Harmon got through talking. His funeral was preached by
 Rev. W. W. Watkins, of the c. r. Church, at Father Harmon's request, and there was supposed to be three hun dred people present. Our less is his great gain. JOIN r. ROWLAND.

Editor Democrat: As there has been the names of several worthy gentlemen mentioned for the state senatorship, we will take the liberty of mentioning the name of the Hon. l.. W. Davis as being in every particular a good name for the democrats of this county to offer for that office.
 This gentleman has ever been true and tried democrat of the Jefiersonian type, and always friend to the people He has in former years represented this county in the lower house of the general assembly with such marked ability that we cannot be mistaken in his qualifications and fitness to repre- sent us in the next state senate.
 We do not know that this gentleman desires to become a candidate, but we do know that he would make most eX- cellent senator and one that we woald justly be proud of. DEMOCRACY.
