When the TRANSCRIPT announced last
summer the fact that several fashionable
weddings would take place during the fall
months, everybody looked doubtful and
wondered, everybody except the parties
themselves. And there are others. Sever
al others between this and the June roses.
The orange and lemon crops of South
ern California have been injured by frost
during a succession of cold nights. The
fact that oranges do not show the effect of
the frost for from two weeks to a month
after the cold weather renders the extent
of the damage even to the growers of the
fruit very uncertain.
The Brady Steamboat Company of
Smyrna have sold and delivered to the
county commissioners of New Castle county
8 600 bushels of oyster shells. They have
also sold 1000 bushels more to New Castle
county; 5000 to Kent county and 1000 to
the town of Smyrna. These orders will
be filed during the next month.-Smyrna

Since ten days before Christmas Mid
dletown has been full of shoppers, some |
days being better than others because of |
the weather. A representative Of the TRAM |
SCRIPT has called upon the merchants many |
of them, and to the inquiry, "Hew is

Several merchants have during the past
week reached the highest sales in all their
