Georgetown has taken steps to
organize bicycle club. 1t will fix up
rooms for the members and will be an
excellent organization in every way.
There are said to be more bicyclists in
Georgetown than any other town on
the Peninsula. Men, women and
children, old men and young men are
cyclists. Milford and Dover are also
cycling towns, but neither of them are
believed to reach Georgetown in the
number of wheels.
Charcoal makers in Sussex county
are anxiouslY watching the iron mar
kets. AS the business in the iron mills
increases with it and the product, it is
believed, will be soon in demand again.
The dullness in the iron trade seri.
Ously affected the charcoal burners for
the reason that their business was
nearly paralyzed on account of the
stagnatiOn in the iron trade The
increased activity in the iron business

Lovers of base ball will be pleased to
learn that the strong Dover base ball
club has been organized and has
been reorganized and has entered the
contest with other clubs. Some of the
Dover people are talking of state
league, but the people in Wilmington
remember the failure of the proposed
state league of last year to materalize
and they will enter into no arrange
ments this year. The Dover team is
an excellent one and some of the PENN
sula clubs will find it so. The first game
played by the club this year was with
Wyoming, which went down before it
by score of p to 0.

over the peach crop As far as can be
learned there will be about One.third
Of the crop of two years ago, which
was an unusually large one. This
estimate, if it should hold good, would
make a crop of about 100000 baskets.
II is believed that the crop will reach
these figures. This would mean a
good crop for the farmer who raises
peaches, for good prices will be realized.
As in the past the principal shipping
points will be Wyoming, FELTON, and
Milford, in Delaware, and Chestertown
in Maryland.
Some idea of the benefit of crop of
100000 baskets of peaches can be oh
tanned by little figuring. At % cents
a baSk ct, which would be fair average.
it would bring 100000 into Delaware.
At cents each 100000 peach baskets
would bring into the basket sellers,
81 100000, which is also nice sum.
Most of the peaches will be shipped bv
cars, AMI will oIuse the railroad com
pany to put on an extra force of men
to run the trains, and they will be bene-
Hted in that way.

line which will be selected, will start at
Queenstown, Md, and will then run to
Delaware until it reaches a point near
Greenwood. From here 1t will run to
