Willis FOR CONGREss. - Senator
Frye III his speech in the auditorium
Saturday evening took occasion to
emphasize the wish expressed by
Speaker Reed, that Jonathan S. Will
lis should be reelected to Congress at

Both of these gentlemen observed
Mr.. Willis at the last session and both
recommended him as a creditable and
worthy representative.
The name of the Governor on the
Single Tax ticket appears as Lewis n.
Slughter, which is the way it was filed.
The name should be Slaughter. In the
Presidential ticket the regular ticket
has the name of James G. Shaw,
whereas, the Union Republican ticket
has James G. Shaw, Sr Errors in the
names will not invalidate the election
of any man on either ticket. The laws
of Delaware have provided for Just
such errors occurring on the ballots
even.
John W. Killen, of FELTON,, expert
menting with the sweet potato this
year, grew ON one acre of land that had
not been in tillage for two years, nor
having had any fertilizer on it, one
hundred bushels, and on another acre
where he put 600 lbs. of rock, 300 lbs
of potash and 100 lbs. nitrate of soda,
he grew 600 bushels. This of course
shows very plainly that it pays to fer
tilize the crop every time.
Several papers name John F. Sauls-
bury for United States Senator. J.F.
authorizes us to say that he is not seek
ing any Office in the gift of the people
of Delaware. While he returns thanks
to the patriotic Addicks people for their
kind regards, he prefers to be consul
ted before being announced as a can
dldate for Office. He leaves the infer
ence, that all he is waiting for is to be
asked. This would seem to leave the
Senatorial choice between John F. and
Addicks.
