The busiest place this fruit season
(in fact since the shipment of straw
berries), in this section, has been at
Smyrna Landing-boat days. Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday after
moons finds the road to the Landing,
and especially at the latter place aug
mented by the teams that turn in over
the causeway from New Castle county,
one of great business activity. Our
citizens who have no interest in ship
ping fruit, but simply go down to the
Brady wharf to see the ''bustle" the
afternoons above designated, leave
with a wonder where it all comes from
and the productiveness that would
thus load the Brady down trip after
trip to say nothing of the other modes
of conveyance by boat and cars. The
two larger items the past two weeks
have been plums and apples, and in adj
dition to the latter, the peach will take
a large place the next six weeks.

Alex. Pullen of Milford, has received
from Georgia box of the "Ever-bear-
ing" peaches; they are a curiosity to
fruit men. 1t is claimed that they
ripen ON the same tree throughout the
peach season. This fact is evidenced
by the box in Mr.. Pullen possession;
on the same twig are peaches IN all
stages, from those just out OF blossom
to those ripe and full grown. The
peaches are of peculiar color, streaked
with gray, but are large and OF fair
flavor. 1t is said that they continue to
blossom for a number of weeks, and
are thus not liable to be nipped by
early frosts. Mr.. Pullen is growing
the new variety in his nursery. ry.-Ne'0'

committee, issued the following ad-

ITO the Silver Republicans of the
United States-The Democratic ma
tionaI convention OF 1900 has nominated
W. J. Bryan for president and Adlai
e. Stevenson for vice president. The
silver Republican national convention
of 1900 has nominated w. ]. Bryan

national committee with power 10 act
Your committee has carefully con
sidered the whole matter. 1t met in
conference with the representatives of
the Democratic and Peoples national
committees and went over the ground
fully. Your committee found itself
face to face with these facts:
In 1886 thousands of voters who had
heretofore voted the Republican ticket
found themselves so widely IT variance
with their party's platform that they
could not without decentralization,
longer act with the Republican party.
In that year they found in the Demo-
cratic candidate for president, and in
the platform upon viii IN he stood a
complete and sufficient justification for
giving him their hearty support With
him they went down to defeat, but in
that defeat won victory for manhood

fear the straight endorsement of the
Democratic ticket would jeopardize the
success of the ticket.
But the parties viii work together.

Gers are now on Chinese soil. If this

Japan is not expected to make this
