pany u. b. Evans & Col shipped on
Monday UiG the steamer Tggert nearly /
five tons of their prepared pickles com
prising chill sauce, chow chow,
gherkins, mixed pickles, horse radish
and cucumbers. They were in all con-

and barrels.
THE financial statement of the Town
Commissioners for the year ending
March 5th, 1882, show the following
expenditures: lighting the streets with
gas, $479.65: work on streets, $3.50. %;
lighting street lamps and police, $500.
These three items embrace more than
one half of the whole amount expend-
ed, and it would seem our streets
ought to be better lighted and kept in
better repair for the amount expended, /
and the police should be more vigilant
in detecting robberies and suppressing
rowdyism and noisy street troubles.
LAND SALEs.-A. P. Griffith, real I.
estate agent, has sold the farm of Geo. .
Johnson, in the Middle Alley, contain
ing y acres, to A. B. Nudge, of y. V,
for S2,700
E. H. Beck. real estate broker, has
sold the farm of Frank Wells, near
this town, containing 175 acres, to VIM.

B. Carpenter, for S4O0.
James H. Hoffecker, near Whining
ton, has sold his farm in White Hall
Neck, 100 acres, to James Startling,
near this town, for $4,000.
We are pleased to know that the
Canning and Picking Factory enter
prise which has been heretofore allud-
ed to, is about to take practical shape.
That is, the persons who have been
most interested in the business will
have a meeting perhaps on Friday to
make some definite ;nitiatory arrange
ment. The great need to make it a
success will be a sufficiency of capital
stock. The benefit such an establish
ment would be to our community is too
apparent TO need further discussion,
and our men in both town and country
who have any spare capital could not
turn it to better account than in foster
ing such an enterprise as this.
The LANDING BRIDGE.-The COM
mittee of Levy Courtmen from New
Castle and Kent counties met at
Smyrna Landing on Monday to decide
on the site Of new bridge to replace
the old one that spans the creek al
that place. There was a strong senti-
| ment in favor of locating it few yards
| below the present bridge, which would
, straighten the road, make it more
t direct besides being cheaper in cen
{ struction, but there was some opposi
8 tion on the part of property holders
and the present location was fixed on
Travelling will thus necessarily be sus
: pended for several weeks while th,
: work of construction goes on, after th,
g work has been commenced.
