A week ago this town was overrun with
tramps They we're an unusually impu-
dent crowd and our townspeOple became
tired of giving them food aud as a result
the colony has been reduced by at least
one-hali It was of common occurrence
that half dozen would call for a single
meal at one house and the expense was
more than many could afford, so they
were refused so often as to begin to look
for more congenial Surroundings. They
are truly a grand nuisance and they
should be made to work even if only to
carry stone backwards and forwards.

FROM two to three thousand dollars a
day is being paid for peaches at this
depot and as much prcportiouately at all
other stations in lower Delaware. Money
is coming into the State fast just now and
there is rejoicing indeed in the hearts Of
those who are fortunate enough to have
a crop of peaches. AT twenty FIVE cents a
basket there is nothing that pays farm
ers as well as having crop Of peaches;
and there should not be any uiurmuriug
when this price or better is obtained.

CURT MAcKLIN took George Davies out
among the big peach growers on We'd

miles, as they we're nearing town, the horse
which had hauled them fell down and in
three minutes was dead. Davis says the
horse was tired ofhauling peach men aud
simply quit, but more rational view to
take Of the matter would be to say the
horse was not used to hauling as heavy a
load as is commonly put OF a beer wagon.
The horse is dead at any rate, and Davies
is smiling aud happy while the other fell
low is sad aud miserable
