A ride with j. Stanley Short last
Monday morning to New Slaughter
Beach. revealed several new improve
ments in progress besides the marvel
lOus changes wrought at this old and
favOrite shore resort. The county road
under Supervisor Frank Swain from
Milford to Marshalps Mill is receiving
a coat of clay and at other points it has
been graded. Further on, the same road
where supervisor George r. Clendaniel
takes charge at the "Heisler Farm" a
great improvement is in progress The
old road followed a tortuous route
among the stumps of a former woods,
but it Is now being cleared by axe and
dynamite, for the road scraper, and will
be made straight as an arrow. 1t will
benefit the road, beautify the landscape
and increase the desirability of the
lands in that vicinity.
The wheat fields of James H. Deputy
are beautiful, and wave in green bill
lows before the wind.
The old bridge over Cedar Creek is to
be replaced by new structure, and Mr..
Rod Indie with a force of workmen
were last Monday preparing the heavy
timbers for it near by. This will stop
travel by way of the Brick Granary for
several days.
The roads are hard, and with one Oh
two small spots excepted, are as pleas
ant to drive over as a turnpike road
When the work Of improving Slaugh
ter Beach is complete, those who re
member it Of ten years ago, would no

Fruit Crop Outlook.

The peach buds in this part of Della
ware are now ready to open into full
bloom, and the critical period for
peaches will come in the next ten days
or two weeks. Up to this week the
buds are uninjured and the prospect
excellent for Il crop, but all maychange
in twenty-four hours
In Georgia the peach has passed its
danger point from frost, and the young
peach is setting to the branch. In ives
tern Maryland the freeze and storm Of
last week did considerable damage; but
the buds were not opened enough to
be killed sufficient to blast the crop en-
tirely. From New jersey and Michigan
no unfavorable reports are heard, and
barring future disaster the fruit crop of
1901 promises well
Plums are now about to bloom in
this vicinity-that is to say, the Jap
anese varieties, are ready to bloom.
Strawberries are starting up,and look
well, although the acreage is somewhat
smaller than heretofore. Many new
patches of two and three acres have
been set this month, and the varieties
are those that have been tested anC
known to do well here.
The acreage of blackberries has beel
considerably increased, but so many @
the briars have winter-killed that it
r doubtful if the crop is any larger tina
r that of 1900.
+ Raspberriers suffered during the pas
= winter. and most all of the Miller Re
C variety, winter killed to within foo
4 of the ground; but they may give ia
/ crop from this remnant of wood.

New Century Club.

The regular monthly business and |
social meeting of the New Century !
Club, was held on Monday, April 8th,
President Mrs. NJ. +. Williams in the I
chair. A letter was read from Mrs. A.
D. Warner, President Of the Delaware
Federation of Women's Clubs, relative |
to the annual meeting to be held in
Wilmington on the 23rd and .4th of
May. Not only will the delegates from
each Club be entertained by the New
Century Club of Wilmington, but all
Club members who attend the meet
ings, and it is hoped this most gracious
and generous hospitality thus offered,
may be accepted by a gOodly number
of our Club. There is much inspira
ton and help in these meetings, and
the women of the State should avail
themselves of this opportunity to learn
what other women are doing, and thus
broaden their own horizon and make
clearer their own mental vision.
As our Club numbers one hundred
members, it is now entitled to three
delegates to the Federation. and the
following ladies were elected: Mrs. Bun
stein, who will give the three minute
greeting, Mrs. Marshall and Miss Rosa.
/ The alterna es are Miss Barker, Miss
Foulk, Mrs J. w. Causey

town on Saturdays. Many Of our far

band or son, and necessarily the wait
ing must be done in stores or on the
