Emma s. Reed.

Miss Emma Smithers Reed, second
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Reed,
of Chesapeake City, died early Sunday
morning, of heart disease. She was % years
old, and had been sick for over seven
months dropsy and other complication
having developed, causing untold pain and
suffering, all of which she endured with
marvellous patience. She was not able to
lie down at all, and through all the long
winter night. and day, sat propped up in
her chair, where she died. In the early
dawn of Easter morning, her beauti-
full bright young spirit, freed at last
from her pain-racked body, went wing
ing its way heavenward. She was univer-
sal fayorite, having happy, sunny disposi-
ton, and every endeariHg womanly virtue,
She carried brightness wherever she went,
and whether in the home, in the society, or
in the church, the same unselfish devo ton
to others, thinking never Of self, made her
life beautiful lesson which could but be

Freezing Weather and the Fruit Crop.
Ice nearly half an inch thick formed
here Monday night and there have been
heavy frosts every night and the fruit crop
is believed to be seriously injured. There
are so few peach trees in this neighborhood
however, that the loss of that crop will not
be heavily felt. But the peach growers in
Kent and Sussex counties are blue over
their prospects, which were very fine until
this week. The crop in some localities will
be total failure, but in others the crop is
very little affected. The peach buds around
Laural are much injured and at Milford
some varieties in certain kinds of soil are
dead, while others are alive. The EIbuta,
late Crawfords or Brandywine varieties in
light sandy soil bloomed week to ten
days ago, and the flower had shed before
the cold came on Monday night. These
are safe. Half to four-fifths of the buds are
killed. Delaware may even yet haYe fair
peach crop, and fair crop always brings
more money into the State than full crop.
In Queen Anne's. Md, there is a wide
difference of opinion in reference to the
peach crop, but it is feared that the crop
has been badly damaged. The buds were
out and in splendid condition when the
frost came. Many Of the buds show signs
OF the frost and number of them have
been killed. There are some, however, who
hold that there will be enough to serve all
the markets. but many growers expect to
lose their entire crop. The blow comes the
harder because crope in other States are q
partial failure. and there was prospect Of
good prices. 1t win be some days yet be-
fore anyone can fully estimate the damage
which has been done.
In Wanesboro, Pa, the ground froze to q
depth of several inches Mondayinig and
throughout Western Maryland the fruit
crop is believed to be damaged 10 the ex-
tent Of millions or dollars.
