The farmers are complaining that the
cold weather and rains which followed
have given them setback in the matter
of Spring planting. While most of the
local farmers have just begun plowing
some of the Sussex farmers are planting.
One of the first to plant corn in the
lower connty is Freedland 7. Short, of
near Lewes, who is on the Robert G..
Houston farm. He began his corn
planting Tuesday.
Wonder if the young lawyer from
"CantwelPs Bridge" was in mind survey
ing land in Pencader Hundred when he
tried for five minutes to gain entrance to
the old post Office building one day this
week. Doubtless he still would have
been making an effort to get his mail, if
young maiden had not come along and
aroused him out of his letargy by inform
ing him he had forgotten the Office had
been moved two doors below.
At a meeting Of the Town Commission
ers, Tuesday night, an ordinance was
passed compelling all dogs to be muzzled
in the town limits, on and after April

several dogs killed in this vicinity during

hydrophobia. We were informed by
one of the members of the board, that
several CANNES have passed through our
town that were thought to be mad.

By reason of the illness of Mr.. Burgess
with typhoid fever, large number of
orders that were pending have been held
back by customers awaiting his personal
attention, and as all the old orders have
been practically completed the Middle
town Shirt Factory has decided to close
down for two weeks. We understand
that the prospects for future business are
very fattering and that it is expected
that in a short time this factory will be
run to its full capacity.

William Sirman, who for ten years has
been night operator at the Dover station
Of the P, w. & B. Railroad, has been
transferred to the day Office in this town,
and will assume his new duties May /.
Mr.. Sirman has host of friends in Dover
who will be sorry to have him leave their
town where he is held in such high
esteem. Mr.. Sirman is kind and obliging
and the patrons of the road speak in the
highest terms of him. Especially is he
popular with the newspaper boys, who
have had occasion to visit Dover as he
has sent many thousand words of 'tpress"
for them.
Never in the history of the firm of J.
F. McWhorter & Son have they had such
large assortment of carriages, agricul-
tural implements, harness and paints, as
is displayed in their commodious ware
rooms at the present time. The rapid
growth of the East end dealers in this
line of goods is envied by all dealers in
this section, and their method of buying
for the cash in large quantities, enables
them to surpass all competitors in both
price and quality of goods. The farmer
feels that he is protected in buying from
firm who has reputation of several
years standing, and experience has taught
him one lesson, ''that the cross road
agent is bad man to deal with for var
ious reasons" If the farmer should buy
his binder from one of these zone year
agents." he could not get repairs if he
should want them the next season, and it
is 50 with various other implements in
this line. During the past few weeks
they have added to their line large as
sortment of house and carriage paints,
and it is almost impossible to find on the
Peninsula, larger and more complete
agency in this line, than the Messrs
