On the I2th day of May, 1887, the largest
convention of peach growers aud commission
men ever held in Dover assembled in the
Opera House to discuss the prospective peach
crop. The estimate then made for the crop
Of that year was s, 1000 600 baskets. Before
a month the crop was gone-how and where
no one has been able to find out The meet
ing en- Thursday of last week was a slim one,
and while no one was sanguine of a crop, yet
it was the opinion of judges that if nothing
happens TO injure them the prospect now is
for a 100000 basket crop of peaches on
this Peninsula. But after last years exper-
ience, and what every grower has confront
ing him to greater or less extent, none will
venture even so much as to guess on the
crop-except to say that if such aud such
things occur what may be expected. Prior
to last year growers used to consider their
fruit out of danger by this time in May; now
they will not hazard an opinion until after
this time in June.

Republioan state Convention.

The Republican State Convention, which
met at Dover yesterday, was as quiet and
harmonious as was ever known in the State.
The delegates seemed to have but one
thought, and that was as to the best men to
represent them at Chicago. The Sussex
caucus chose c. H. Treat, of Georgetown, and
Charles H. Mauil, Of Lewes, as delegates to
Chicago. Kent county chose Alvin Connor,
of FELTON,, and j. R. Whitaker, of Dover,
while New Castle chose Henry c. McI.ear,
and T. c. Bradford.
The platform opposed the passage Of the
Mills Free Trade Bill, and committed the
Republican party to Protection; declared the
party in favor Of high license and against
the saloons
The delegates were not instructed to vote
for any special candidate at Chicago, but
when James Pennewill Esq, Chairman OF
the State Central Committee, mentioned the
name of James G. Blaine, the applause and
excitement with which his name was re-
ceiyed showed the sentiment Of the Conven-
tion.
Rev. J. S. Willis, c H. Treat, Anthony
Higgins, James Pennewill and w. B. Rob
erts, spoke in favor of the resolutions, and
were vociferously cheered. The sentiment
was in favor Of nominating ticket this fall
aud fighting at all times. Judge Fisher
struck the keynote when, in few words he
said, stop fighting among yourselves and
go in and fight Democrats at all times"

1t is an automatic principle in science and
philosophy, that no inert body can move its
elf or be moved without the contact of some
substantial force, material or immeterial.
With this fundamental law as our guide, we
cannot conceive how the wheels of business
can be properly fabricated other than by
the forces mentioned.
The principle of retalia tion is inherent in
the human breast-you pinch me, and I'll
kick you, is the maxim. Notwithstanding the
Divine injunction 'I.ove one another" and
so plainly is it apparent that when one is
chidden the retort is ready, cam I my
brothers keeper?'
The space we propose to occupy will not
allow us to say what we desire, but witness
the following: Mr.. A, a business man de-
pending on the town, if not for his living, at
least, for the success of his business, desires
house built; he goes to another town for
workmen. What do the mechanics of Mil
ton think Of thisl It is claimed they do the
job cheaper, but is it as good? IfIwas to
contract for job would sooner pay our
Milton carpenters two hundred dollars more
on a thousand dollar job, than to have some
work have seen thrown up in this town, for
nothing.

On Monday the offenders were arraigned be-

AT meeting held last week of the
Union Republican Club, several mem
bers resigned their membership for the
purpose of organizing another club in
South Milford. The Republicans of
Delaware are the most contented peo-
pie ofany political party In the world.
They have not even a minority repre-
sentation in any part State or county
government, and no hope for any; yet
they go on holding their little conven-
tiOns, fighting out faetiOnal differences
and working for empty honOrs year
after year. The condition of the Re
publican party, from the standpoint Of
many would-be leaders, is much like a
baby-it must be amused, or it will go

TO our Friends and Patrons

We take this method of informing our
past patrons, friends and farmers gener-
ally that we have formed a copartnership
for the manufacture of the brand of Raw
Bone Super-Phosphate generally known
as JUMBO" Raw Bone Super
Phosphate. which has for some time
been manufactured by Thos. f. Draper,
of Milford and Philadelphia also the
favorite, old and reliable Xxx" Raw
Bone Super-Phoephate, which was so
long manufactured at Milford and other
points by I.ofland s, Davis, and which
has earned for itself widespread reputa-
ton as a successful and economical ferti-
lizer.
Our effort and aim will be to make
all our goods STANDARD" and to keep
them so; and we guarantee to sell as
cheaply as any other firm. We want all
of our old trade, and as many new custo-
mers as desire 10 give us their orders
for their future needs in our line, and

Please favor us with your orders in adj
vance and not wait until our crowded
moments, when often we are obliged to
disappoint through sheer inability on our
part to keep up with the press of orders.
Our stock is now complete and we can
give you better satisfaction for the same
money than those of our competitors
who are doing business under such
heavy expense. Our expenses are light,
therefore we can afford to sell our goods
cheaper, for you know that the greater
expense a manufacturer is under, the lar
ger his profit must necessarily be, which
assuredly must all come from his custom
ers' pockets.
Ever since we first started in business
we have tried to the best of our ability to
give the people of Delaware and Mary.
land full value for the money they have
spent with us, and we have never had the
least complaint. We will try in the fu-
ture TO keep up our reputation, not only
i'll this respect but in all other respects
pertaining to our business. Our trade
has been gradually increasing for the past
seven years, which we attribute solely to
the small profits at which we have sold
our goods, for we know that in these cri-
teal times people cannot afford to pay
extravagant prices for phosphates.
We use none but No. bone, for which
we pay the highest prices. A visit to
our factory will satisfy our patrons of the
above fact. Call and see us, try our goods |
and we feel sure of your future patronage.
Write us for prices and we will gladly |
furnish them.
