1900 to 5000 persons were said to be

of Kentucky, was chief speaker. We

An Aged Farmers nea,,,.

James Conley, ST., well-known farmer
of this county, died at his home in Green

40 years ago. For the past 25 years he
has owned and operated large farm at
Greenville, and for a time was also
engaged at duPont's powder works. He

to his last illness. By industry and
economy he accumulated considerable
property, and beside his large farm of
500 acres at Greenville he owns several
houses in this city. He was member of

wedding Anniversary surprise.

A correspondent signing himself ''one
of the party too snnrp to be caught
sends the following to the GAZETTE from
Newport: John West, who is board
ing at f. Surgeons Hotel, this place,
was given an agreeable surprise by his
numerous friends last evening week, the
occasion being the twelfth anniversary of
his marriage. Mr.. West was induced 20 go
to Wilmington early in the evening, and
upon his return was quite taken back TO
find his house filed with friends. He
and Mrs. West were conducted to seats in
the centre of the room, and were the re-
cipients of numerous presents. Upon the
former was bestowed n handsome seal
ring which was placed upon his
finger by Mrs. West. The presentation
was made by William Writ and nppro-
priately accepted by the recipient in a
neat speech. Following the presentation
there was dancing in which Mr.. West
figured to very fine advantage. After a
season devoted TO the terpsichorean muse
supper which included such delieacies
as reed birds on toast, rail, salads, ices,
fruit, &C., was served. The table was
handsomely laid by Mr.. and Mrs.
Sturgeon, who were much commended
for their efforts in this direction.
Dancing was resumed after tho supper
had been discussed and tho party dis
persed early Thursday morning. Among the
Wilmingtonians in attendance were Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Steel, William Writ
and wife, John Mercer and Fred Sinclair.

PE1OHES.
seme Thoughts by n Grower of 20
Yenrn, ENncrinnce.

Edtt0r GdSette: l have noticed
In the GAZETTE and quite number Of
| papers published on the Peninsula ynrious
remarkable statements in regard TO the
yield and profits Of the peach crop
marketed from n number of orchards
throughout the ''pcach belt.n Some of
these statements are doubtless correct (;
but others are so highly oolored MS 10 de-
celye none but an enthusiast unaequainted
with the marketing of fruit. Such stnte-
ments are calculated to do harm to the
fruit interests of the Peninsula, inasniuch
as they lead inexperienced persons to make
calculations on paper that are scarcely
possible of realization The farmers are
led to purchase and plant trees extern
sively; to plant many more in fact than
they are able to properly manure and
cultivate. This leads to disappointment
and pecuniary loss.
Another difficulty arises when these
rosy statements are received as sllictly
true. The demand for trees brrnmcs
great, and tho nurserymen naturally
desire to dispose of their entire stock. ami
the oyer-anxious tree purchaser is led TO
take varieties that from their time o;
ripening or inferior quality Wien ripe
prove an incumbrance, and the ctow.r
finds large proportion of his orchard
occupied by trees that nre alnlO.t without
value, and his years of culture aud tltr
use of his land prove seiions
loss which he is often i'll able
to afford. The writer hns had some in
terest for 20 years in peacb culture and
his greatest disappointment have arisen
from this cause. Anxious to get trees he
has taken such as he could get aud after
years of waiting and expense he has found
time and money wasted. This is not
written to disparage the nurserymnn but
TO urge upon all who propose engaging in
peach culture to be sure to purchase such
varieties as are known 10 be reliable. 1t
is much better to wait another yenr than
to begin with the wrong kinds of fruit.
The writer believes in peach. growing.
But success depends upon theapplication
of the plainest principles that govern in
everything pertaining to the successful
prosecution of all human affairs; two of
the most important of which are intelli.
gence an industry. Without these, trees
will become such an ineunbrahee that
the more the careless grower plants, the
poorer he will become.
This brief article might properly be re-
ferred to an agricultural journal, but
feeling that the GAZETTE is engaged in
1iffusing information throughout the
belt it is respectfully forwarded with
he hope that it may be of service to
hose most deeply interested, by
A FRUIT Grower.
