Tho SherinnItr

The selection of delegates to both
the Democratic and Republican State
Conventions was attended without
manifestation of interest, but with the
first named this is not likely to be the
case in reference to the county conVen-
ton, the delegates to which are to be
selected Saturday week. A nomina-
tiOn being equivalent to an election in
this county, makes the conventional
the virtual decisive choice. There
will not be much difficulty in selecting
the seven Representative and the Levy
Court candidates, as the choice will be
largely accorded to the hundreds enti-
tied TO them, but the Senator and
sheriff as we'll as the coroner are Sc
lected from the county, as to the politi-
cal strength that can be brought to
bear. The real contest is usually over
the sherillalty and this year will prove
no exception to the rule. There is
generally n number reaching up after
the place, but this year it seems to be
narrowed down to two, Jas. G. Robin
son, of this hundred, and Andrew J.
Wilson, OF East Dover hundred. The
friends of Mr.. Wilson claim that East
Dover hundred has not had n sheriff
since 1869 since which time nearly
every hundred Ia the county has been
represented and besides that Duck
Creek has the holding-over Senator,
and, so far, the only applicant for Re
corder Of Deeds. To this the people of
this hundred reply that Duck Creek
has not had a sheriff but once in thirty
five years (1S70), and that the two
, offices above named have nothing to do
with the question. The delegates of
the county virtually decided Duck
Creeks right to the candidate two
years ago by giving Mr.. Robinson the
next highest vote 10 Sheriff Herring

The Present Aspect of Peaches.
REMARKABLE YEAI


This, taken in its entirety, has been
remarkable peach year. First. it
was the third crop in succession, some
thing the farmers had no right to, and
really did not expect, and hence ac-
cepted graciOusly. Then, there has
been no serious complaint at the
weather, though there was a little
moro than the usual rOtting on the
trees, of the early varieties from damp
ness, but they count very little in the
general result But the most marked
feature of the season is the entire alb
sence Of complaints in regard to trans
portation no delays of trains occasion
ing losses, and not a single railroad ac-
cident. In comparison with the rail
road management some years back,
this is anomalous, and tends to put the
farmers and the great corporations in
accord, where formerly there were fire.
quent contentious and litigations.
Another feature Of the year is the open
ing Of new avenues in the East and
West, instead Of rushing them all into
our three great seaboard cities, the ten
dency of which was to glut the market
and make prices unremunerative to
Jue grower.
But, perhaps, the happiest feature of
the season, in its future aspects, is the
transferring, in a large degree, Of the
sales from the iar-off cities to our very
doors. The Fruit Exchange has been
q considerable factor in eilecting this
result, but its work has been supple
mented by the railroad authorities in
encouraging new routes and affording
facilities to Western buyers. 1t is pref
ty certain that with the quantities con-
sumed in our evapOratOrs and canner-
les, and bought directly from our
growers at our depots, the disastrous
gluts " of former years, can never be
repeated again. In fact there are some
who think that not many years hence
the sale Of this fruit will be entirely
effected on the line of the railroad.
The effect of three prosperous years,
and successful marketing, has been to
greatly stimulate the production, the
result Of which has been the planting
OF many new orchards the past and the
Eresent year.
