There was much concern about fruit
last week during the freezing weather,
but it turns out. as from the lnforma-
tion we get from the farmers, that the
damage has not been as great as was
expected. The only trees in bloom
were those of the plum and peach, they
not entirely, the peach from a third to
half so. Admitting that all the bios
SONS open when the freeze occurred are
killed, if the remaining ones escape
damage, they may mature good crop.
Pears, cherries, apples, &c, were pro-
tected by not being in bloom. Down
the State the trees were more forward
and more damage done.
Have you seen the 'Flyer's at
Alfred Tilgham's? He claims to have
the cheapest line of bicycles south OF
Wilmington. A large stock of second
hand wheels; sundries, parts and re-
pairs for all makes of wheels, and
splendidly equipped repair shop. Dur
ing the winter he put in new machinery
and is prepared to do work equal TO
that done in the city. He can paint
and enamel wheels in any color, be-
sides brazing and vulcanizing. Read
what his advertisement has to say, and
then call to see him at his stand on the
northwest corner of Commerce and Del
aware streets.

The reelection of Joseph G. Garn
le as chief-of of-police of the Town
v SMYRNA is source of qualification
l. many of our citizens. Mr.. Garner
k one of the best officers the town b
n ever had. He is not only efficient b
is always obliging. We have had bt
ter order under his administratiC
l. than the town has ever had. L
7e street crossings as a rule have be-
i cleaner and the decorum of the crow
.e on Saturday nights has received t
IL best of attention under his care. Ci
Zens of both parties wanted him co
tinued. The council have had quite
10 time to bring his election to poi
an and it was thought that for partiz
e. reason, the election of W. b. Grant den

be that democratic member who arc

good officials whether they are den
