ing with cOrrespondingly strong ma
chinery erected with the advantages of
cheap transportation and labor and a
trade whose scope looks far beyond
this Peninsula, and constantly enlarg-
ing. They were lucky in the start in
hitting on a good formula in the "Star
Bone" brand, which has never been
allowed to deteiOrate. Getting better
instead of poorer, has been an immense
card to their success.
How about the works left behind ?
is very naturally asked. They still
own much the larger part of the stock
invested in the Peninsular Bone works
and steamboat transportation line, and
will they say, maintain the same in
terest in their success. The phosphate
mill has done larger trade this than
last year, and in the "Planet" brand
have they think phosphate that will
grow more and more popular. A new
man they say has or will come to take
the place of each one that leaves, and
as fair exchange is no robbery .
they claim that tEeir departure will
make in the rounding up of affairs, nc

The Kent County Fair

1t rained on Tuesday when the an
nual fair of Kent county in Maryland
was opened at WOrtOn, near Chester
town, and yet over 700 visitors were
present. From that day to its close
the grounds were crowded. The ar
rangements for the fair had been unus-
ually well managed by its secretary,
Wilson p. Norris, and much of the sue
cess the fair attained was due to him.
There were three races the last day.
The first was for purse of $3.50, open
to the 2.30 class. The starters were
Brighton, belonging to E. Posters ;
John E. Turner's Pharaoh; VIM. Run

by Brighton in 2464 Pharaoh won
the second in 2.37 and Brighton the
third and fourth race in 2.34 and
2.353, Pharaoh second and Happy

WILBUR R. GLANDEN.


Early on Saturday morning last the
community was apprised of the death
of Wilbur Il. Glanden. This intelli-
gence was a surprise, because the de-
ceased had been known as a most
healthy and robust young man, seem
ing indeed the very persOnitication of
health and vigorous vitality. His
sickness was most peculiar, violent and
rapid. He left his work bench at HOf-
fecker's cannery on a Saturday morn
ing and just three weeks to a day
thereafter he passed into eternity.
His was a most violent illness. The
disease seized his brain, making him a
perfectly wild man. His physicians
say they never saw worse case and
those who nursed him never had con-
ceived that it was possible for n man to
become so wild and violent. At the
close of the first week of his sickness
the skill of the attending physicians
had been so effective as to lead his
friends to believe that he would soon
be we'll and out again. But this be-
lief was not abiding. There was
doubtless the more sympathy and in
terest manifest in this case because last
Fall an illness that befel his wife was
so violent in its nature as to rob her OF
her reason and her friends of even the
hope that she would get well. Recov-
ering her strength it was necessary to
teach her all over again nearly all she
had ever known. Mr.. Glanden was a
very industrious and prOvident young
man. He has been u workman at HOf.
fecker's cannery for the past thirteen
or fourteen years. He had the respect
and unbounded confidence of his EN-.
plOyers. He was in the 26th year O
his age, the son of William Glanden, OF
Duck Creek. His remains were fol
lowed to GlenwOOd cemetery on Mon
day afternoon last by large cOncOursC
of relatives and friends.

The Removal Of the Tvgerts.

As indicated in our last issue, John
e. Tygert is moving his family to
Philadelphia to-day very naturally fol-
lowing his business, which has preceded
him some two years. H. S. Tygert
the other brother associated in the
business, left this town for Philadelphia
year ago last Spring and it is prOba-
BILE that in few days Willard G. Pierce
who has managed the clerical depart
ment so efficiently nearly from the
start of their business here, will also go
to the same place. It is with regret
that we see these men leave our COM
munity, which until two years ago was
unexpected, as it was felt they were
thoroughly identified with us in both
social and material interest. 1t is a
natural result of business growth.
Twelve years ago they came to this
locality. They had started few years
previously the business in a very small
way, at Harrington, as because piO-
neeTs in a comparatively new busi-
ness, especially with those of
very limited means, but year or so
sufliced to demonstrate that it was
capable Of immense development. The
CNcI NiBlluu1 eye VI JOiu r. AySoIt
saw in Rothwell's Landing a place of
superior advantage to develop the bust
ness which he then doubtless thought
would be the ultima thueL of his ambi-
ton. The building enlarged to suit
the increasing demands of their busi-
ness from year to year until at the end
of ten years it covered nearly an acre
of ground and their trade had reached
som 1900 tons yearly, their full capa-
city. Then it was that the idea of a
still larger trade presented itself, and
John E., who thinks and plans when
GtbeTs are asleep soon had a superior
location secured Immediately on the
river below Philadelphia. a larger build

THE political chess board of New
York has been the centre of political
attraction the past week. First came
the Republican State Convention end
ing in the selection of Ira Davenport
for Governor and Gen. J. B Carr for
Lieutenant-GOvernOr, with the adOp-
ton of platform that seemed entirely
satisfactory to the best elements of the
party, followed in two days after by
the Democratic Convention which nOmi-
mated Gov. Hill (whO succeeded Mr.
Cleveland in the Office and Roswell p.
Flower for Lieutenant-GovernO but
the latter on Saturday sent letter de-
clining to accept the nomination. Gov
Hill seems to have been the choice Of
the Tammany or spOils wing of the
party who are opposed to President
Cleveland's ideas of reform, especially
that of civil service. The lines are so
drawn just at this point that the Inde-
pendent or Mugwump papers, the
Times, Post, Harper's Weekly and other
papers that could not go Blaine, but
chose Cleveland rather because they
wanted reform in politics, have de-
clared for Davenport because they can
get through him and those who are
with him on the ticket those reforms
inaugurated by Mr.. Cleveland better
than they can through Gov. Hill. II
the Mugwumps can poll $4,000 votes
las they claimed at the Presidential
electiOn), and they should be cast with
anything like unanimity, it would
seem that they have the power to en-
force the Civil Service and other politi
cal reforms desired.

The First Smyrna Paper.

AN OLD COPY OF THE TELEGRAPH" "
We have received from Jos. B. Ben
son copy of the Smyrna Telegraph,
the first paper ever published in this
town which he has recently discovered
among the papers of his father, Benz.
Benson. 1t bears the date of Sep.
goth, 1849, Vol. l, No. 8, Samuel f.
Jones, editor and proprietor, showing
that the Telegraph was started in July
of 1849, and not in 1889, as stated by
II. G. Conrad, Esq, in his pamphlet on
the Press of Delaware" 1t did not
run but for year or two, the editor
getting in debt, the next paper on the
same press being the DeLGlOGre Herald,
which in turn was followed by the
Smyrna TINES, under the present
editor, which has stuck. 1t was little
above half the size of the TIMES, but
neatly printed, Mr.. Jones being both "A
good printer and editor, but the most
of the people thought in that day that
n local paper was a luxury that could
not be afforded
1t may be of interest, at least to our
older citizens, to have n resume of the
news of 36 years ago and the incidents
transpiring at that date. Among the
deaths recorded were those of two old
and highly respected citizens, Israel
Peterson and wife, made the more
notable from the fact that they were
both buried Mt the same time. Another
death recorded was that of Charles

Apropos of the approach of the gun
ming season is the Paradise for Gun
ners and Anglers" a neat little pamph-
let issued by the Passenger Depart
ment of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad Co., descriptive
of the cunning and fishing resources of
the Delaware and Maryland peninsula.
The book treats of the game and
fish of this section, their haunts and
habits, the localities they frequent, and
gives extracts from the game laws of
the region, and, in fact, all the infor-
nation a sportsman could desire. 1t
is embellished with engravings of
game and fish, and contains an ex-
cellent map, showing the water-cOurses,
roads, and railways of the section. 1t
is complete manual for the gunner
or angler, who would find his sport in
one of the best game-stOcked portions
of the Atlantic States. The book is
distributed gratuitOusly, and may be
procured by addressing James r. Wood,

MRS. ANN CONNoR.

Mrs. Ann ConnOr, widow of the late
Captain Samuel COnnor, of Smyrna
Landing, died at the residence of her
granddaughter, Mrs. VOss, of that
place, on Sunday, aged 6S years, Of
consumption. She has been lifelong
and consistent member of the NJ. +.
Church, and leaves an unusually large
number of relatives and friends to
mourn her demise. Her husband was
probably the most well-knOwn captain
that ever sailed up our creek in the
days when that stream formed the
commercial highway and outlet for this
section. The funeral services were
held at the house, Rev. J. B. Quigg,
officiating; the musical portion of the
services, consisting of singing, was rem
dered by quartette selected from the
choir of Asbury NJ. E. Church, of this
town, after which the remains were in
tered in GlenwoOd Cemetery in the
presence of large number of relatives
and friends from this town, Smyrna
Landing and the surrounding cOun-

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND in accepting
the resignation of DOrman B. Eaton the
Republican head of the Civil Service
Commission declared himself unalter-
ably for the law and said:
u believe in civil-service reform,
and its application in the most practi-
cable form attainable. among other rea-
sons because it opens the door for the
rich and the poor alike to the partici-
patton in public placehOlding. And !
hope the time is at hand when all our
people will see the advantage of a re-
lance for such an opportunity upon
merit and fitness, instead of Il depen-
dance upon the caprice or selfish in
terest of those who impudently stand
between the people and the machinery
of their government In the one case
u reasonable intelligence and the edu.
cation which is freely furnished or for
ced upon the Office in the other the
way is found in favor secured by a par
ticipatiOn in partisan work, often un
fitting person morally, if not men
tally and physically, for the RESPONSE
bilities and duties of public employ
ment."
