n,scontented Farmers.

The following we clip from the
American Farmer and think it worthy
of perusal by our agricultural friends.
g Farmers, when you 60 to the town
or city and see the dealers of the shops,
busy behind their counters holding oHt
their wares and commodities to their
customers, do not go home infatuated
with the idea that they are making
great profits and becoming rich in
their line Of business. On hundreds
Of the articles sold by these dealers the
profits are hardly worth speaking
about.
"The competition is immense, and
the struggle for livelihood continual,
as anyone can see by looking over the
advertisements of prices in the news
papers, and then notice the long list of
bankrupts, and the sacrifices of goods
at auction. No, friend farmers, these
city merchants are not making for
tunes as fast as you might Imagine
from appearances. Taxes in variety,
and expenses almost innumerable, in
cident to city life, not known to the
country, confront and harass them.
And now to the tiller Of the soil who
is inclined to be discontented with his
lot because of small gains, we would
say fraternally and encouragingly ::
Look around you and see If there may
not be within your reach that by which
you can make them larger. Here and
there about your business there are
leaks and wastes, it may he, which
might be stopped. And it may
be also, that other methods
might be adopted, and greater
variety of products grown but cheer
up, friend, and keep firm hold of the
plow handles.

Is the characteristic of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and it is manifested every day
In the remarkable cures this medicine
accomplishes. Druggists say: When
we sell bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla
to a new customer we are sure to see
him back in a few weeks after more,
proving that the good results from
trial bottle warrant continuing its use.
This positive merit Hoods Sarsa-
parilla possesses by virtue OF the
Peculiar Combination, Proportion and
Process used in its preparation, and
by which all the remedial value OF the
ingredients used is retained. Hoods
Sarsapa. lila is thus Peculiar to Itself
and absolutely unequalled in its power
as a blood purifier, and as a tonic for
building up the weak and weary, and

THE direct tax levied and collected
by the Government during the war is
now to be returned to the States, and
under the provisions of the new law
enacted by Congress before adjourn
ment Delaware will be entitled to
about $4,000. The Legislature has
adopted joint resolution authorizing
the Governor to receipt for this money.
1t is generally supposed that in cases
where vouchers can be produced the
persons who paid the tax will receive
from the State the amount originally
paid to the government. The length
of time since the collection Of the direct
tax is the cause of much doubt as to
the final destination of this money, as
many, or in fact almost all those who
paid it have failed to keep their
receipts. The consequence will be
that substantial proof, which most
of those interested are unable to pro-
duce, will be required. Whatever
remains after the just claims are paid
will probably be appropriated to school
purposes or to the improvement Of
State property. If enough of the
money is left to build a fire-proof State
library it could be well-spent in this
direction. The old State House is not
properly fitted for library purposes and
there is danger of very serious loss
to the State by fire. The greater part
of the first floor Of the State House is
packed with books and paper which
could be easily ignited and on the
second floor are stored many valuable
documents which could never be re-
placed. If there is any money left
from the direct tax to be refunded it
can be well and profitably expended
for this purpose.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. s. 90 a YEAR.

THE PRESENT is a good time to
take a look at the streets Of our town.
It has been asserted that it will soon
be necessary to travel in gondolas, but
we do not think the consistency OF
the mud will make such pleasant
mode Of travelling possible this spring.
Several years since the amount OF the
appropriation received each year from
st. Georges hundred, 5000 was expend-
ed in the purchasing of stone for use
on west Main street and although
the stone proved to be too hard TO
make a good road yet that part OF the
street is much better than other por-
tions. This money is appropriated for
the sole purpose Of maintaining gooo
driveways on the two principal streets
in the town, and can be lawfully USED
for no other purpose and it is probable
that should it come to the ears OF the
road commissioners of st. Georges
hundred that these 5000 are placed in
the general fund every year for the
benefit Of the town taxables instead OF
being used as the law directs, that
future appropriations could be with
held until the money heretofore un-
lawfully used is placed where it be-
longs.
We do not state positively that such
a thing can be done, but We believe
that there is danger in the misappro-
priation Of this fund. Should the COM
missioners see 1t to use all of this
money each year where it properly be-
longs, only a few years would elapse
before the streets mentioned would be
in good condition. A town tax is OF
course a necessity and to get the full
benefit of the money raised by this
means good, clean streets should be
secured; then the tax would be
lighter and its expenditure would
bring better results. When the streets
Of town are good they are not nearly
so hard to keep in repair and all the
people in the town will profit both on
account of the increased value of pro-
perty and by less wear and tear on
horses and vehicles. Good streets also
make a town far more desirable place
in which to locate factories of any
kind or as place of residence. The
present members of the Board of Com
missioners, while they have always
been just to the people when occupy
ing other Offices, they have always
done their duty id manly way and in |
this case they viii not fail to maintain |
their reputation for strict compliance
with the law.

A CONFERENCE was held at Dover
on Tuesday evening for the purpose OF
considering a method by which County
Commissions can be had in each of
the three Counties. There is some OBJ
lection to the proposed changes for
New Castle and Sussex, and Senator
Hall wishes to have Kent reformed
along with the others. 1t is now pro-
posed that a law shall be enacted
which shall substitute County Com
missions FOR the Levy Courts in every
county. A committee consisting OF
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, Lewis c.
Vandegrift and A. B. Cooper for New
Castle county, Edward Ridgely, James
L. Wolcott and John r. Nicholson for
Kent and a. P. Robinson, W. +.
Causey and E. L. Martin for Sussex
was appointed to frame suitable bill
which win probably be presented with
in a few days.
At the conference Mr.. Bayard re-
commended the passage OF some law
which would bejust to all and also
counseled that no hasty work should
be done which might hereafter cause
trouble. It is said that Mr.. Bayard
recommended the passage of a registra-
tion act and sees nothing uncon-
stitutional about such a law. That
such law is necessary is a well es-
tablished fact as voting on tax-receipts
is now farce of the most glaring
order. With secret ballot and a regis
tration law much of the dishonesty OF
elections would be rendered impossible
It is to be hoped that some measure OF
reform may be adopted by the Legis.
lature which will be satisfactory to
the people.
