The Creamery Chance.

The meeting of farmers held at the
Office of Ex-Sheriff Robinson on Thurs
day in the interest of a Farmers
Creamery on the cooperative plan,
was organized with Chas. H. Griffith in
the chair and VIM. E. Spruance, secre-
tary. A committee of seven was ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions to a
capital stock 125 shares, $1,000, who
will report at a subsequent meeting
next Saturday afternoon. This action
of the farmers caused A. p. Crockett
who started the creamery here in the
Spring to take decided steps, which
was to receive no more milk after yes
terday, and close up his business in
this community. 1t was started by
Mr.. Crockett as an experiment: the
house he obtained to give the business
trial is conveniently located, but too
much in the centre of the town be-
cause of the offensiveness that is likely
to arise in hot weather, and he intend
ed to get it on a stream of water ad-
Joining the town next year, but he now
he feels that cannot take the risk of
investing capital when it may be made
Valueless by those on whom he has to
rely removing their patronage. The
The advantage and necessity of a
creamery in the meantime has been
demonstrated. The farmers having
taken the step to have the business in
its entirety among themselves, will be
impelled from the self interest that
prompted the movement, to put their
plans in operation as speedily as pos
sible. This sudden turn may cause
each farmers wife to boss a creamery
in her own home for a time, but il
looks as if a creamery in somebody's
hands is to be one of our permanent
industries.

Peach Notes.

The farmers are now through with
the TrOth and engaged with the Noun
tain Rose, but they are hardly as large
as usual, from the trees being too full.
The YOrks and Crawford's are also
coming in.
KentOn shipped six car loads on Mon
day, BrentOrd seven or eight, and
Clayton nine.
A BrenfOrd farmer who shipped on
Saturday, divided his shipment Noun
tain Rose) between two New York
commission houses. One of them sent
him returns at 81 per basket; the other
divided his lot, part at so and the rest
at 90 cents.
Henry G. Conrad, Esq, has taken
charge of the Bureau of Information
and Distribution at Clayton. A report
from there says he is daily in receipt OF
a large number of kilograms and letters
from distant towns, earnestly request
ing him to send them cars of fruit, as
they have none whatever. In asimilar
manner he receives many applicants
from the growers, asking where he ad-
vised them to ship.
Nearly all fruit drying factories are
in operation around Milford, and the
bulk of the peach crop will be used by

New Corn Harvester.

Samuel B. Pierson, of Crumpton,
Nd, came to town on Monday to
spend a month or more in superintend-
ing the construction of Corn Har-
vester at the shops of the G. w. Tay-
lor Company. Mr.. Pierson and his
father have been at work at this inven-
ton for several years during which
time they have changed and altered
their plans very materially as acquired
knowledge and experience has dicta-
ted, until now they have a machine
which they think will do the desired
work in harvesting corn. 1t is to be
hoped that they will succeed, as it
would be a great desideratum to the
farmers, and if doing its work satisfac-
tory source of profit to themselves
1t will be recOllected that several
years ago Rev. J. E. Smith had a ma
chine on which he had given consider
able study and had unbounded conf.
dence in it's success, built at the above
works, but it failed in some features
and seems after one or two subsequent
seasons to make it 60, unsuccessfully
been abandoned. This was imme.
diately followed by a machine on a
different principle, the conception Of
Ezekiel F. Dawson and the mechanical
skill of Elmer q. Taylor, but after two
seasons it was finally laid aside be-
cause of the expense and delay in get.
ting it to work. 1t is to be hoped that
the last effort may prove a success fol-
the relief in hard work it will bring tC
the farmers.

Slow Transportation of Peaches.

The Philadelphia commission men
are complaining about the slowness of
the trains getting in. The Philadel-
phia Record of Saturday quotes J. E.
Heudrickson thus:
1t is perfectly outrageous the way
the company is treating us. The
worst feature of our difficulty is that
we have no redress, and must grin and
bear it. Commission merchants do not
suffer nearly as much as the peach
growers. The Pennsylvania railroad
has a monopoly of the fruit carrying
business, having no opposition what
ever, and it handles fruit consigned to
Philadelphia just as it pleases. All
this week the trains have been four
and five hours late in getting into this
city and of course it makes our mark ct
late. The trouble is aggravated by the
company not having sufficient force
to unload the cars. One man down at
the depot is supposed to do as much as
three men. OF course that makes us
later, and when we haul the fruit up
here to market it is noon almost, and
all the people who wanted to buy are
gone. Then we must sell the fruit to
the hucksters, who pay the poorest
prices. If we don't sell it to them at
their own prices we can keep it and
let it rot on our hands.
"There is no reason that we can see
why the cars should not reach here on
time, as they do in other cities. But
you see the railroad company owns the
tracks further on and it may be that
they would prefer to carry it further
because the freight rates from the
peach orchards to New York are twice
as high as they are to this city" The
shipments of peaches to this city dur
ing the past few weeks have averaged
from 10000 to G0,0O0 baskets per day.

Base Ball.

The game of base ball on Saturday
between Capt. Chase's Rangers, of
Smyrna Landing, and the Leipsic club,
resulted in a victory for the latter by a
score of % to 49, This will require a
third game at Leipsic, the Rangers
winning the first one. The clubs used
the Smyrna Associations grounds, and
an admission of 10 cents was charged.
Daniel c. Bailey umpired the game
and gave entire satisfaction.
The colored clubs of Smyrna and
Middletowr. had hilarious game on
the grounds of the first named here on
Saturday, the score standing: SO for
Smyrna and 10 for Mddletown. One
of the Smyrna batter5 knocked a ball
so far that he walked the circle Of the
bases before they could get the ball
back
There is prospect of Magee, Dover's
catcher, permanently locating in that
town. Magee has an attraction there
in the shape of one of Dover's young
ladies.

There is a Iick-up" between the
Milford and Dover clubs. At the ear
nest solicitation of the former, Dover
played at Milford on Wednesday. In
the ninth inning, with the score to / ,
the Dover management ordered their
men off the field on account of unfair
decisions of the umpire, NJ II. Pretty
man. Previous to the game it was
agreed that Milford should play a re-
turn game in Dover, but the former
nine now say such a contest cannot be
arranged. Consequently the two clubs
are on the outs and will most likely
stay so. Dover complains of being
treated shabbily.
The third game between the Smyrna
and Dover teams was played yesterday
on the grounds of the latter, the score
standing Dover, 3 Smyrna, l /; Dover
thus getting two out of the three. The
complaint of the friends of the SMYRNA
club is that they do not practice; they
are good players, and had every op-
portunity to stand at the head if they
had used their opportunities.

A Busy Place.

A writer on Smyrna and its Improve
ments" describes among other things,
the basket manufactures in this town.
A visit to one of them is a curiosity.
They are now as they have been for
month past under full pressure of
work to meet the demands of August.
A visit yesterday to the II. r. Mus
tard & Co., factory showed it to be Il
hive of industry y-everything on the
stir. The machines that cut out the
material for the baskets have first to
do their work and the pieces are grab
bed up by the basket makers, mostly
boys, and hastily made into baskets !;
and often the wood that was in the log
in the morning, exists in the shape of
baskets in the evening at the home of
the farmers, and ready for use in har-
vesting the peaches. A. Lee Cummins,
who gives his attention to the sales, is
finding this a most satisfactory year, in
every particular very different from
last, when the rOtting and melting
away of the peaches reduced the de-
mands by the ten thousands. This
year they sell themselves, and at salts
factory prices, a necessary thing to
make up the losses of last year. They
are hurried through the mill and hur-
ried away as fast by the farmers, and
thus each day about rounds up and
completes its work. There are in this
line of industry including the laborers
who do the loading, steaming and ma
chine work and the basket makers,
about eighty persons, whose weekly
pay roll amounts to a considerable sum
of money, and thus an important fac
tor in the business trade of the commu-
nifty.

The WolcOttites are looking favora-

OF the " big four" that would like to be

Little Creek hundred, Kent COUNTY.
according to a system of rotation that
prevails in that county, is entitled to
the nomination for sheriff of the conn
ty. The candidates from the hundred
are ). Thomas Lowe, the Little Creek
merchant, and John w, Feuimore. the
Leipsic snip owner Lowe is a strong
salisbury man, while Fenimore is of
the WolcOtt order. There is one thing
that stands in the way of Mr.. Feni5
more, and that is the candidacy of Da-
yld 5. Wilds, of Kenton hundred.
Wilds has done yeoman service for the
WolcotJ cause in past campaigns and
has never received, as he thinks. the
proper reward, and this year he asl s
the support of Wolcott's friends. and
he will in all probability receive it.
The result of the meeting of The exec
utlve committee on Saturday is as
much gain to the cause of Mr.. Lowe
as 1t was to the Saulsburys.-EUeninq

Ten Thousand Tramps.

The tramps who have been bother
ing the people of the towns and cOun-
try for the past two weeks in such
numbers, are now in the main scatter
ed throughout the peach districts, and
many of them found to be desirable
helpers in gathering the peach crop.
A dispatch which went from Dover
last week and published under the
above head, read as follows: Tramps
are still coming down the peninsula by
the carload and what to do with them
Is now the cOnundrum. Over one hun
dred of them are now in Dover Jail,
and that edifice can hold no more.
Twenty were added to the number
yesterday. The railroad officers are
doing all the arresting, and they only
take men who have broken into cars
or damaged property in some way.
Last night Detective Hutchins received
a telegram asking him to come
to Wyoming, where fully two
hundred tramps were hanging around
the station. But he did not 90, as he
had no place to put them if they were
arrested. A great many think that
the fruit men made a big mistake in
passing that " tramp protective" reso-
luton at their last meeting, as it evil
IDENTIFY encouraged this class to come
here. 1t is estimated that fully ten
thousand are now on the Peninsula
and still they come. 1t is proposed by
some that the railroad company run a
tramp train" daily northward until
about four-ffths of them are carried
back from whence they came.

WE are told by a member of the anti
Salisbury faction that the action of
Robert Denney, of this Hundred, in his
vote in the Central Committee in Dover
on Saturday is miscOnstrued by the
Wilmington papers. He has in no
sense, says our informant, gone over to
the Saulsburys, but is as firm in the
Wolcott ranks as ever. His first OBJ
iect was to aid his friend, T. J. Lowe,
in his candidacy for the Sherifalty,
which an early primary meeting it
is conceded will do, and second, to
have all the factional fighting in one
day instead of two, as by a different
vote would have been the case. The
gentleman above referred to says Duck
Creek Hundred is one of the pivotal
Hundreds, and he feels no fears as to
the result.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SMYRNA TIMES:
SIR-Since others lips are sealed 10
silence the Importance of the matters
herein contained is nv sufficient excuse
for this letter. That | shall be criticised
and possibly villitied do not doubt; but
prefer The discharge of a simple duty TO
any personal consideration.
Wiih this brief preface | desire to state
10 us many OF the yo,crs of this hundred
as your paper will reach that after the
leaders of the Temperance Reform party
had decided to place a ticket in the field
IN the fall of 1886, they waited upon Mr..
Samuel Taylor who was understood to
be in sympathy with that movement and
who was probably the most popular man
in The hundred, and offered him the
nomination for State Senator on that ticket.
lie at first refused, but aflerward took the
matter under consideration and fixed a
day upon which his decision was to be
given. On the day upon which this
decision was to be rendered Mr. Taylor was
in Easton, having been called there on
| business, and as soon as it was found that
he was in Easton Mr. B. V. Weldon
went there for the express purpose of
urging upon Mr.. Taylor the necessity of
accepting the nomination. Mr.. TAYLOR
stated at that time that he was in sympathy
with the movement of the new party but
not so much so as to antagOniZe the ticket
OF his own party and refused to allow his
name to be considered as a candidate upon
the new ticket.
draw no inference. l only wish TO
point out that Mr.. Weldon was interested
IN ticket which was opposed to that of
his own party.
After Mr. Samuel Taylor's refusal. the
Temperance Reform leaders turned their
attention to Mr.. Geo w TAYLOR and
finally at their solicitations he allowed his
name to be used as a candidate for nomina.
tion, and his name was subsequently
placed upon the ticket by the Temperance
| Reform convention. Some time after
this he was waited upon by Mr.. Wilson
! 1. Cavender. who said to him in substance
| there is a plan by which you can be
elected, conveying at the same time the
impression that he was in sympathy with
the Temperance Reform movement, and
| inquiring what effect Mr. Taylor's candi
dacy would have upon the Record. Mr.
Taylor refused to listen to, or cOuntenance
any ''plan. stating that while he desired
to poll the whole strength of the new
party he neither hoped nor $50 far as
he was personally cOnceruedl wished for
success aud that he neither desired nor
solicited any political favor.
Again l draw no inference. l simply
beg your readers to observe that Mr..
Lavender was acquainted with plan
by which an open opponent OF his party
could be elected.
1t occurs to me in closing, Mr. Editor,
that Messrs. Weldon and CavendeI have
lately been identified with an attempt to
form a Democratic (?) club in Smyrna.
These facts, am sure, are, in the language
of an esteemed contemporary, good food
for digestion Yours etc,
G. B. TAYLOR.
