which time the proprietor would
board and lodge them. He told me
that he had lately put two German

gOTTINGs By JACK TRAMP.

In the newspapers I see that
Delaware farmer, who applied her
rings as a fertilizer to his corn, is of
opinion that the reason the herrings
have such n stimulating effect upon
its growth is that the corn grows up
ward as fast as it can to get away
from the stencil arising from the de-
composition of the fish. This is an
entirely new theory of the effects of
manuring a crop; yet there may be
more philosophy in it than we might
at first suspect.
On Long Island, just before the
corn begins to tassel, the farmers put
from three to five "mossbunkers" in
each hill, and it is said that the smell
arising therefrom keeps away the
"cu1led pussun," and for that mat
ter "or'nary white folks" from tres
passing into the corn fields to get
o'stin' ears.p If this is the case,
reasoning by analogy, why should
not the corn plants want to get away
from the stencil as we'll as the would
be trespassers. The idea is novel,
but the Delaware farmer may be right
after all. Who knows
So the offices Of the D. NJ. and 2.

is a most excellent arrangement, as it
gives q central point at which the of.

transact with them. Moreover il
will place the road from Harrington
to Chincoteague more directly under
the supervision of the managers, and

town, and the only town on the line
of the road below Milford having 6

A rA1K ADoUT TREAT's ExoURsIoN.

A TALK ABOUT TREAT EACOhSlON'
It is we'll known to the public on
the line of the D. M. and v. rail-
road, the facilities we have given on
our excursions for every one to go
to Georgetown at very low fare.
This was done to sell our goods and
to give the public the opportunity
to buy from a large stock of goods,
with fine assortment, at city prices.
Ry a great many customers this is
appreciated, but quite number OF
persons who take advantage Of the
low fares are no benefit or help, be-
cause they do not buy of us. They
like the ride and are glad that Treat
charters the train, so they can
travel so cheap, transact some pri-
vate business and visit their friends
in Georgetown; but they seem to
think we are engaged in a charity
entertainment and can give some
thing for nothing, Now the public
who enjoy the benefits of these ex-
cursion rates have duty 20 sustain
us in return with their patronage.
We cannot afford to continue these
excursions unless we are sustained;
call give and no take soon makes
Jack a poor boy" Now, in order to
protect ourselves and those custom
ers who desire to trade with us, we
have made the following arrange
ment with Passenger and Traffic
Manager, A. Brown, of the D. Nj.
and V. railroad: Their agents at
the different stations on their line
will sell our excursion tickets as
usual. The fare from Lewes and
intermediate stations to George
town and return will be so cents ;
Berlin and intermediate stations
to Georgetown and return, so
cents all stations below Berlin to
Franklin City to Georgetown and
return, 81. These tickets will not
be good to return unless stamped
bv us at our store at Georgetown.
We will stamp them, and at the
same time repay to the holder one
half the cost of the ticket, pro-
vided he buys one dollars worth
of goods at our store. In this way
the cost of the ticket will be just
the same as the old rates. This ar
rangement will not make any
trouble or delay, as we shall have
a person specially appointed to at
tend to this matter. A dollar
spent with us by. 500 persons is
$500 and goes far toward helping
US bear the burden and take the
risk of chartering the train. We
feel greatly encouraged at the
words of approval from our GUS
toners for this course, and we be-
lieve the great publ who love fair
play and appreciate ehserprise will
rally in great numbers to the sup
port of the New York Store.

FARMERS have commenced to con-
slider the labor subject for the coming
season. With the prices of grain rul-
ing at the low figures Of the present,
there is little show for renter to come
out whole if he pays the prices of last
year for labor. For this reason few, if
any, of our farmers have made con-
tracts for their help. Just how things
will look a month hence, will depend
on the price of grain.
