items did not reach this Office in time forpub-
LEGATION last week; bat as they are strictly

Jesse Dodd, one Of our Oldest citizens, died
March goth, after painful illness. He was
one of the most industrious men Of this com
munity. A few years ago he purchased a
tract Of land that could be called no better
than a swamp; but he transformed it into a
valuable farm and subject Of much interest.
The most lasting monument to his memory
is his farm-which is well drained, produc-
tive, and the silent testimony Of his worth to
the community as a farmer and citizen. He
was buried at the Reynolds NJ. P. Church.
Another Of our good farmers, Solomon
Dayis died last week and was buried on
Sunday His death resulted from taking
cold after becoming convalescent from
nunps. He leaves an estate made up prin-
cipaiIy Of land, and also a large family.
lanes Dickerson-better known as 'Tur-
tie Neek'' Dickerson-died suddenly on
March 10th. His death took place while
sitting in a chair and in his usual condition
Of health. He was about 70 years old, and
in his early life followed the sea, and was
remarkable for his physical strength. For
several years he has been unable to do much
work, and has been enjoying his declining
days with his aged wife and two grown chill

An Explanation.

What is the 'nervous trouble" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted II you
will remember a. few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-today
it is as common as any void in the English
language, yet this word covers only the
meaning Of another word used by our fore
fathers in time past. So it is with nervous
diseases, assthey and malaria are intended to
cover what our grandfathers called bilious
ness, and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding il
cannot dispose of the bile through the ordi
nary channel is compelled to pass it of
through the system, causing nervous trou'
bles, malaria, bilious fever, etc. You who
are suffering can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous.

Here is a bit of plain talk
on a coming Fashion. Paris
takes Mohair stuff, America
sneezes. The form of the
stuff is Glaze and Sicilienne,
the colors lustrous, mixed
in shades of gray and brown
the Glaze is in two grades, Fl
inch at IS and 371lc, the
Sicilienne in two grades and two
widths, 27-inch soc, 42-lnch
CSC. Seize the stuff in the
centre of the piece, crush and
crumple it in your clasped
hand. See how it falls and
hardly shows a crease. That's
utility. Plain, durable, not
costly, 0e,y fashionable. Ideal
combination.

SPEAK but one word about the polit-
zeal outrages and race hatred Of South
Carolina or Louisiana, and the Demo-
cratic party Of Delaware. or for that
matter, any other State contiguous to
the Mason and Dixon line, will curl
up and deny the charges i'm toto, or
ascnbe their origin To republicans
whom they please to term the waivers
of the "bloody shiri" class. Discard
all other cases or puiuls,a and let US look
at this question from the light of re-
cent developments of race hatred and
outrage in Sussex at the county seat
Georgetown.
About two weeks ago, the teacher of
the col0red school at Georgetown,
arranged to give public exhibition
for the benefit of his school. Like
many another place, Georgetown has
no public hail, nor building devoted
especially for public entertainments,
unless the Court House or the recently
erected public school building hall of
the white people can be hired, and on
this point the race hatred and old
ranking rebel war-feeling cropped out.
OF course the negroes (who were hale
fellOws-well-met, and were good enough
to vote the democratic lead of the
ticket in 1894, knew the feelings OF
their old allies better than TO apply
for the use Of the Court House; but
rightly applied to the committee of
the Board of Education having the
renting of the school house hall in
charge, and rented it for the purpose.
When this fact became known, deep
were the curses aud earnest were the
efforts of the prominent politicians
who lounge in the Court House offices.
"The damned niggers :" "They shan't
have the school housed" "I'll be
damned if they shallp Were the slo-
gaus of the negro hating democrats of
GeorgetOwn-all over the simple hir-
ing Of hall to give very commend
able entertainment.
To meet the emergency the Board of
Education was appealed to-but it
wisely decided that it could not go
back on its duly authorized commit
tees act in renting the hall; and right
here the unregenerate copperheads
showed their fangs, by serving upon
the colored teacher a notice that an
attempt to use tue han would result in
bloodshed. This had the desired effect,
and the contract was Cancelled by the
teacher,
This case is similar to the outrages
of Louisiana, with one exception
blood-shedding - and probably this
phase would not have been eliminated
only for the fear of a public opinion
that would have enforced the law, and
the peaceable action OF the negro
teacher. Thlrty-seven years ago, men
of Georgetown broke up a colored
school, and it seems that the hot blood
of the sires descended to the sons, and
that even the meagre support that
Delaware gives to her colored schools
would be withheld lift were possible.
Truly Delaware needs District Repre-
sentatiOn that such men may be rele-
gated to the solitude'of their own mar.
row lives, and that their hypocrisy
may be held up to their fellow-citizens
and the world.

To OuF Friends and Patrons

We take this method of informing our
past patrons, friends and farmers gener-
ally that we have formed copsrtnershiP
for the manufacture of the brand of Raw
Bone Super-P 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-Phosphate, which was so
long manufactured at Milford and other
points by Lohand & 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 to give us their orders
for their future needs in our line, and
when we fail to give satisfaction we shall
reasonably expect withdrawal of their
patronage.
Fertilizing Materials Of the Highest
Grade Only, Sold.
Please favor us with your orders in ad-
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 a
heavy expense. Our expenses are light,
thersfore 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 flu
ture to keep up our reputation, not only
in 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. I 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.
Thanking the people of Delaware and
Maryland and vicinity for past patron
age and soliciting continuance of the
same, we remain:
Yours Respectfully,
DRApER & DAVIS,
