On Wednesday fire destroyed
about 100 cords of wood belonging to
Mr. John H. Hargis on the "Drexel"
farm near Scarborough Switch. 1t is
not known how the fire originated but
there is a probability that it was caused
by someone burning oil grass and allow
ing the flames to get such Roadway that
they could not be checked until con-
siderable damage resulted. A number
Of farmers fought the fire all night and
finally got it under control. Mr.. Geo
5. Richardson lost % or 80 cords Of
wood from n similar cause on his farm
about one and a half miles from
town on the Pocomoke River. The
woods are very dry now and fire
spreads rapidly.

\ very pretty home wedding was
solemnizcd at the residence of Mrs
Sophia L. Clements on Second Street,
Wednesday morning the 10Th inst,
at 10 o'clock. The contracting par
ties were Miss Elizabeth NJ. Clements
OF this city AMI Louis W. Barnard of
Middletown, Del. The house had
been handsomely decorated for the
occasion with choice cut aud potted
flowers, and presented most pleasing
appearance. Promptly at the hour
appointed the bride entered the
parlor in company with her broth
er j. X. Clements, of Pocomoke, and
best lady, Miss Hattie L. Barnard, Of
Cheswold. Del. They were followed
by the groom, attended by his bet
man w. Reese Parker, of Middletown,
Del. They were met by the bride
and her brother who gave her away.
Rev. c. III. Nandyne, in most i'm
pressive manner performed the cere-
mony. They were married with a
ring which was held by Miss Annie
Collins, neice of the bride. The bride
was atiired in beautiful costume of
white silk and carried boquet of
brides roses. The maid of honor was
handsomely dressed in white satin,
while the groom and best man wore

An exchange says of the Della
ware peach crop: Not since 1875
has there been in the month Of April
such a flattering prospect for a big
crop of peaches. The trees are all in
good condition and are loaded with
buds. Ten days or two weeks of warm
spring will be necessary to bring them
to bloom. IL is not probable that
frost will hurt the trees from this time
forward. Around Milford and Cedar
Creek there are more than 500, 900
trees in bearing. In 1893 there were
100000, but only about two thirds of
them matured fruit. This year all
promise to mature full crop.

The Baltimore Morning HeraLi
pays this compliment TO one of Worces-
ter's sons: Col. John Walter Smith
has been suggested as good selection
from the Eastern Shore for one OF the
delegates-at-large to the Democratic
National Convention 1t is admitted
by all that no man worked harder for
his party last fall than he, and no man
on the Shore is more deserving of party
honors. The success with which the
Democratic end Of the State Senate
was handled during the session OF the
Legislature just closed is due in a great
measure TO Colonel Smiths skill as q
manager and his political sagacity
The Democratic party can he proud Of
men like the Worcester leader, who
had the Republicans not captured q
majority Of the General Assembly
would. no doubt, have been elected Il
the United States Senate.
