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. E. 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 Lofand & 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 a withdrawal of their
patronage
Fertillzing Materials Of the Highest
Grade Only, Sold.
Please favor us with your orders i'll 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,
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
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 fil-
ture to keep up our reputation, not only
i'll this respect but i'll 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
lge and soliciting continuance of the
anne, we remain:

President J. w. Kerr, of the Peninsula
Horticultural Society, at the solicitation of
many Peninsula fruit growers, has had
prepared bill "to prevent the spread of the
contagious disease commonly known as the
'yellows, in peach orchards in the State of
Maryland" The bill provides that the own
er Of any peach orchard, upon information
being given him in writing that the yellows
are in his orchard, and the trees thus affect
ed being pointed out to him, shall, within
ten days, dig up and burn them, and upon
his failure to do SO within the time specified,
any constable of the county i'll which said
trees are located, upon the same being point
ed out to HIM, shall dig up and burn them,
and shall receive for every tree so dug up
and burned the sum Of 81, TO be paid by the
owner Of the trees, the said sum to be col
lected i'll the SAME manner as any other fines
in the State Of Maryland, It is also provid-
ed that neither the constable nor the inform
er shall be held a trespasser in discharging
the duties thus imposed, and any constable
failing to discharge them shall be subject to
NC lliulStcu Dy the SIahu jury, anu upon CON
viction shall be subject to a fine of not less
than $500. The bill will be introduced at an
early day. Mr.. Kerr and other prominent
fruit growers who have investigated the mat
ter say that something must soon be done in
order to preserve the valuable orchards of
the Eastern Shore from the blight It has
already wrought great damage in many Del
aware orchards, and it is probable that the
of that state will take some ac-
ton in the matter next winter.

or in its participation, crop out. The
babe fighting with lusty lungs and
fists for its supposed rights; the chill
dren with doughty blows battling for
supremacy, and men in war arrayed,
but prove the slumbering spirit of tri-
umph by might of arms. With this
IS coupled admiration OF military dis
plays and military prowess, and when
the last sad rites are TO be paid to a
soldier by his comrades in arms, this
same feeling calls forth great crowds
to add by their presence, testimony of
their regard; not only for the dead,
but for the cause in which they served.
Milford and Georgetown have given
evidence within a month that the
lower counties Of Delaware are alive to
such instincts, and it is right
ANOTHER railroad horror has cast its
gloom oyer the entire Union. The un-
fortunate event took place this time in
the State of Georgia, aud thirty lives
were sacrificed. Besides this, fifty
persons were more or less injured, and
the railroad company's loss exclusive
of damage to passengers, is over one
hundred thousand dollars. The cause
of this terrible affair appears to have
been an old trestle bridge, that had
stood for many years towering high
over n ravine. To hyve built it out of
iron would have cosi 40 more than the
present loss, and the sacrifice Of hu-
man lives been saved. In these days
locomotives aud cars are much more
heavy than ten yearsago when wooden
structures afforded ample strength,
and as the public haye to pay the tar
if that the railroads impose, they
should demand that every safeguard
be thrown around their travelling in
safety,

thirty years ago, and for more than half that
time did thriving business The goods
manufactured at these mills were not equal
ed by goods of the same class in this coun-
try. The principal objections urged to the
goods was that a suit made up from
them lasted too long, hence much inferior
quality of goods was sought after. It is said
that New York capitalists will start the
