OBITUARY..

BLACK AT his residence in South Milford, on
October 8, 1883, David Black, aged so years, s
months and l6 days.
Mr. Black was one of our oldest and
best known citizens. His tall form
was familiar to our early bOyhood
days, and his quiet and unobtrusive
disposition gained for him many warm
friends. He was the youngest of six
teen children that were born to his
father, Benjamin Black, who owned
the tract known to-day as the Me
COlley farm" and the MarshalPs mills
In his early days he helped his faith
er in the milling business, but in 1885
he fOrsOOk this business, and took to
the ship carpenters s. trade, which he
followed until 1881, working always as
a jOurneyman carpenter. In 1926, on
June 18th, he married SterlenO Price,
who died Feb. Is, 1871, aged 20 years.
From this marriage six children were
born, three of whom are EOw living.
The family has been a fruitful one,
and at the time of Mr.. Blacks death,
there were 10 grandchildren and five
great grandchildren living. He new
er occupied a public position, and pre-
viOus to 1860 he was democrat, but
since that time he has voted with the
republicans.
His religious proclivities were to-
wards the Episcopal Church. The
funeral took place yesterday.

THE PHOSPHATE Rock found at
Cambridge is of such rich quality and
contains the elements of agricultural
fertility in such available form that it
is claimed by the proprietOrs to afford
more available phosphnric acid in its
natural state than can be gotten from
South Carolina rock with the aid of
sulphuric acid. However this may be,
the find" is no doubt great fortune
to those who may judiciOusly devel-
ope it, and factor of great Importance
in the future prosperity of the penin-
sula.
Messrs. r. NJ. Hewes & Co own 40
acres of the rock formation into which
they have sunk shaft "a feet without
being able at that depth to get through
the strata. Two miles away, at Long
Wharf. the stratum was struck at l50
feet below the surface and shaft was
settled to the depth of 800 feet without
getting through the rich phosphate
rock. OF course at those points where
it comes to the surface as in the forty
acre tract of Messrs. Hewes & Co., the
profit of working it will be much
greater than at points where it must
be raised from great depths. Through
out the greater area where this depOs-
it has been found, the stratum runs
from four feet to six feet thick instead
Of the great depths above mentioned.
Even these figures will give u yield of
almost untold tons of plant food right
at our door.
By Mr.. J. w. Hessey we were, on
Tuesday, shown a rich specimen of
the rock that he had brought to /
Georgetown; he was unable to give us

assured us that the reports all rated it |
high. For about ten weeks the COM !
pany has been busy erecting buildings |

ing the deposit For about three /
weeks they have been taking out about
fifty tons per day. The deposit is
mainly composed of the shells and
bones of marine animals, but at times
very peculiar bones, teeth and skele-
tons come to the surface. They have
found teeth that closely reselnbled a
common hand saw; and bones like the
heavy hip socket bones of land ami
mails; and last week near high water

EVERY person must learn from ex-
perience, and experience is an excel
lent teacher when you don't pay to
dear for it. AS several ''clOth pedlers"
have been in this vicinity recently,
we quote the comments of the EastOn
Ledger on them as follows: A number
of pedlers have been travelling in Tai
bot county for a week or two past, off
ering cloths, silks and other dress goods
at exceedingly low prices, representing
them to be of the best quality, whilst
they are in reality the lowest grade of
goods. Many unsusDecting people
nave been victimised by the" bankrupt
goods" AS th9 pedlers calltheir stock
in trade, and as the swindlers will in
all probability visit Sussex, Our people
should be on the lookout for them and
see that they do not take them in. 1t
is cheaper, safer, and in all respects
better to buy goods from responsible
in town, than from travel
ing dealers and irresponsible pedlers.

THE Democrat of Georgetown, speaks
of the Delaware, Maryland & Virginia
Railroad thusly: 1.-THE peach season is
over and it is supposed the railroad
company has made a neat sum from
the transportation of the crOp-but
still there are no signs of a new station
being built here. Fall will soon pass
into winter. and then it will be too
cold for outdoor work. What does
the company propose to do with the
plan of the new station drafted by Ar
chitect Jones nearly a year ago? 1t
should be utilized in some way. It
might be posted on one of the empty
boxes on the platform, so that the faith
ers of the present generation could get
an idea of the improvements that are
to be made after they have gone to
their long home, where there are no
dilapidated platforms and rickety rail-
road stations. A prominent railroad
man remarked the other day that
"Georgetown people would never see
a new station here until the present |
one burns down or falls down." If a |
full grown western cyclone could be
made 20 order, and especially fitted to
the old depot, it would be an event
warmly welcomed by the people of
