CHEswoLD, Oct. 1.-Our tomato mar
ket has continued its bullish tone the
past week and prices have ranged we
are informed from 25 to AZ cents per
basket. Our buyers seem to be all on
the bull side with a strong backing.
If there is any bearish element in our
tomato market it is scarcely noticeable.
The demand for tomatoes is unpre-
cedented coming as it does from all
directions. A majority of our farmers
are carrying a little silent chapter of
lamentatioD of their own because OF
their lack of foresight, while the fortu-
nate grower is ready to say 81 know
it" Among the fortunate growers is
John Moore on the ID. T. Loose farm,
having put five acres in tomatoes has
gotten from them a trife oyes $500.
Mr.. Frank Harley, three miles south
west of Cheswold, is said to have
brought the prize tomatoes to this
market. They ran very large in size
and were of the "World's Wonder
variety. When a grower can take so
basket load of tomatoes to market and
carry home $50 for them, one of oui
farmers says ''its no use to fool with
peach trees"
DR.. Corkran will hold the Second
Quarterly meeting for Cheswold and

KENroN, Oct. 1.-The canning sea-
son is nearing theclOse. Already
several of the largest growers have re-
port that they are done picking. The
yield has been but small one.
Keiffer pear picking has begun but
the local buyers seem to touch them
lightly. At Worton, Kent county,
Md, they are offering half a cent a
pound for them as they run. This is
an average of about 10 cents per bas-
ket. Mr.. L. E. Bailey shipped car
load to Buffalo last week but at this
writing they have not been heard
from.
Our Epworth League held a social

Pleasure Party Has Much Experience
Some of our young folks went to Smyrna
last Thursday when they were to meet
the captain of naptha Launch who
was to take them out for an excursion.
And although all arrangements had
been previously made in good faith,
yet when they arrived, what was their
chagrin to find the man had disap-
pointed them and had taken another
party out. However they were out for
good time and they persisted
in having it, so Mr.. Grieves of the
Smyrna Livery, fixed them up with a
team for Woodland Beach, but more
trouble awaited them for although
there were only eleven of them and
not one of them would weigh over two
hundred pounds neither of the horses
would move peg. Nothing daunted,
they changed their team and after
much coaxing of the horses and effort
at the wheels the vehicle actually
moved off. The marsh was finally
reached, but 10 and behold the boat in
which they had to eros to the Beach
was so small that only few could &C
over at time, but they persisted and
patiently waited until all were safely
landed. They then had dinner and en-
joyed a delightful afternoon. Those
in the party were Miss Edith Downs
Miss Bertha Bailey, Miss Ida Downs
Miss Eta Bailey, Miss Anna Downs
Mr.. Mason Bailey, Mr.. John Ar
thurs, Kenton; DIR. Hirons Clifton

An important charter that has to do
with improved railway facilities in Will
mington was issued at the Secretary of
States office Friday. 1t incorporated
the Peoples Railway Company, with
a capital stock of 81, 800, 600. The ar
ticles of incorporation are really a re-
incOrL LoratiOn of the new company
which has so thoroughly equipped its
lines of rapid transit through Whining
ton and vicinity, and this re-incorpor-
alton includes a merger of the Brandy
wine Springs Railway Company, the

Company, the Park Railway Company
and the Citizens Electric Railway
Company with the Peoples Rail way

Contractor A. L. Hudson of this
town, has nearly completed the $4,000
dormitory building at the State Col
lege for colored students near Dover.
This handsome building adds much to
the appearance of the place and will be
great convenience as it will be prac-
tically used as quarters for the girls.
1t is 3Sx60 feet, four stories and con-
structed of red brick with white or
lamentations. The money for its
erection was appropriated by the last
General Assembly but will not be
quite sufficient to complete the entire
structure. On the main floor will be
located the chapel, library and offices
for Principal W. G. Jason. The next
floor has nine dormer rooms and the
fourth floor contains the same
number which are unfinished. The
basement will contain the heating ar
rangement, kitchen and probably the
dining room. The building will be
completed in two weeks. The college
has opened and Professor Jason
reports that the outlook for students
for the school year is even better than
last year which was the largest in the
history of the institution, 62 students
being enrolled. The farm has been
greatly improved since the college was
located there and the several fine
buildings make it one of the prettiest
places in the community.
