BRIDGEvTLLE, Del, Nov. 13.-To use
the common phraseology the game law
will be up on Friday. and the usual two
sportsmen to every bird will, in all proba
bility. be out. All classes and agesiwill
be represented from the small boy with
his cat-rife looking for the 'cotton-tail'
in his "set" and the darkey with his
rusty musket and crosse eyed and one eyed
dogs, to the well-to- do farmer, his boys
and their cousins and friends from the
cities. decked out in full rig, with fine
breech. leaders. But, if the present
weather continues, local hunters do not
anticipate any great slaughter of game,
or much reward to the sportsmen for
while birds are reported more plentiful
than had been expected In consequence
Of the excessive rains, yet the weather
is so warm they stay lin the roads,
and soon as shooting begins they will
seek the deepest forests and swamps and
/ ia consequence of the thick underground
ib is next to impossible to get them.
| Those who desire real sport would do
| well to defer their trip till it gets cooler
and the birds are better grown, for all
sportsmen know it requires cold weather
to bring the birds out into the fields
Besides the vegetation is so green it is
hard for dogs to trail
Farmers in this vicinity who have corn
to sell are complaining at the low price
of corn, but as there are so many among
the farming class, who will have corn
to buy to feed their stock, the low price
on the whole is no disadvantage to the
community at large for there are more
who viii have to buy corn than
there are who have it to sell.
The market price here is
35 cts. but at the sale of O. P. Swain yes
terday, who is selling off his personal
property, preparatory to leaving his
farm and removing to Washington to
take the government position secured for
him by Senator Higgins, corn sold at
prices ranging from 81 to 54 cents per
bushel.
The continuous and excessive rains
have been very hard on the farming
classes. Many complain 'tis the worst
wear they ever experienced Some OF
the boys tell them this is Harrison
weather. If they ever get as thor
oughly dissatisfied with Harrison and
high tariff as they are with this weather
everything that tinotures of HarrisOnisn
! would be showed under deeper than Ma
T honeism in Virginia.
g In fact, so far as Sussex is concerned
/, it begins to look as IL the Republicans
1 had gotten their last victory at the poll
Q for some time 10 come. For while to th'
old-time Democrats who had not suffered
defeat in so long they had forgotten hoy
S it felt, the morning after the election
/ last fall was dismal and filled then
+ full Of foreboding,4 / yet that has al
Z been figured out long ago, l
. was not the rally of Mr.. Treat, tn
d strategy Of Mr.. Higgins, or the money o
r Mr.. Wanamaker or Mr. Quay that de
( feated the Democratic ticket. Everybod,
I knows what was the matter. SO tina
s goes without saying, but we. are no
S going to have It again. People down her
$ are going TO have a regular take back k-and
y never saidit make up.
