rbs Hn,ne1r Isfit rtsefni Girl

The "useful'' girl, writes Ella
Wheeler Wilcox, is not noticeable in
any way. Everybody makes use of her,
and everybody likes her. She has no
enemies and no lovers. Women like
her very much, and men speak highly
of her when she is brought to their at
tention in some way, but they never
think about her voluntarily. They ap-
preciate her highly when she helps them
out Of corner, and thank her cordially
and then forget her until they need her
again. She is not apt to marry, for men
do not care for useful girls before mar.
riage. She can sew, get dinner if
need be, amuse children, assist in get
ting up entertainments for other people
to participate in, and she is an excel
lent nurse, and reads aloud we'll, and
sings little-enough to lock child a
sleep or to help out chorus. She is
like the green Everlasting, % or old
fashioned "live-forever" plant-seent-
less and not beautiful, yet indispens-
able in garden.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. 81 90 4 YEAR.
rhur.day Afternoon. June 4th. 1891

A TEST case will be argued before
the Superior Court on Saturday, which
win settle the difficulties in regard to
the collection of the taxes of 1890. In
his written opinions submitted to the
Levy Court, Mr.. Bradford declares
that the collectors appointed for that
year have now no legal right to collect
and receipt for taxes which should have
been collected during that year.
Whether or not Mr.. Bradford is cor
rect in his opinion will be decided by
the Court. If the law proves to be
defective special session of the Legis-
lature to provide for the collection of
the monies due the county will be
necessary. That these taxes will have
to be paid there is no doubt and that
the collectors of 1890 have the right to
collect them we believe, yet the very
best plan to settle the difficulty has
been adopted.

Plenty OF Peach Baskets

A manufacturer tells the Smyrna
"Times" that there are on the PEN
insula nineteen factories manufacture
ing peach baskets. Some Of these
factories have capacity Of from five
to eight thousand baskets per day,
but put them at an average of 1900
per day, and we have daily product
ion of $4,000. As most of these mills
commenced early in May and will run
until September, If there is demand, it
will be seen that they can easily turn
off from 1900, 900 to 5000, 900 baskets
during the season, to say nothing of
the baskets that may be shipped here
from other points. There is not there
fore likely to be d monopoly of the
business, and growers forced to pay 10
or 12 cents basket, as was the case a
few years ago when there were very few
mills.-Milford News.

THE CASE Of the farmers of Della
ware against the P..W. & B. railroad
company which was recently decided
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has been re-opened at the request
of the railroad attorneys, and the case
will again be heard with strong
probability Of a considerable reduction
of the percentage which the Commits
sion ordered taken off of freight
charges on fruit, vegetables, etc. in
the recent decision. The railroad
attorneys declare that their clients did
not receive justice, because it is al
ways necessary to prepare, at great ex-
pense, a great number of cars for car
rying fruit at season when the num-
Der Of baskets Of peaches to be carried
cannot be definitely ascertained and
that after all this expense has been
incurred it is possible that. by failure
of the crop, the extra fixtures may be
utterly useless.
They also declare than an enormous
expense is incurred by the high rate of
speed necessary for peach trains and
that all other trains are kept
out of the way in order that peach
trains may each Jersey City in good
time for the early markets; that the
regular traffic on the road is thus seri-
ously interfered with and that the GER
vice is so good that any compulsory re-
duction in freight charges will work
serious injustice to the railroad COM
pany. All this seems very plausible,
but why does the railroad company
charge more for carrying a barrel of
truck or basket of fruit from points
above and below Delmar to New York
than they do to carry the same class of
perishable articles from Norfolk to
New York :?
The answer to this question is very
simple one and is this: The steamship
lines running steamers from Norfolk
to eastern cities compete with the rail-
road at that point and the competition
causes a low freight charge, but on the
line up the Peninsula there Is no COM

A COMMITTEE of our Board of Trade
will be glad to hear from any one in
terested in peaches. This committee
has been appointed to provide ways
and means for holding convention Of
those interested in any way in peaches,
and the members are striving to make
such convention a success. An effort
is being made to bring to Middletown
some manufacturing establishment,
which will give employment to the
people of the town ; while this is the
proper thing to do there is a chance,
at this time to take advantage of our
geographical situation to secure some
canning or evaporating establishment
or something which would be naturally
suitable to this place. We do not
need any industry which would have
to be kept up by artificial means, we
need something which naturally be-
longs here, some method Of using at a
profit our fruit and vegetables.
This Peninsula would be veritable
garden of Eden if the production of
fruit and vegetables could be made a
success, but so long as we have no
place at home where these products
can be utilized we will be at the mercy
of transportation companies and COM
mission merchants. By coming togeth-
er here on the 18th Of June, peach
growers may obtain some very yalu-
able information and will come to
know each other, thus causing a COM
munity of interest which is very es-
sential to a common understanding,
among a class Of farmers who are
very much in need of certain kind of
protection.

favorable opportunity presented itself for
lucrative practice, and he located there, immedl-
