The first of September, when it will
again be "safe" to eat oysters, is nearly
here, and the local dealers are parctlc'
ularly well pleased at the outlook for a
good seasons trade. The Maurice river
oysters, which are usually the first to
come in, are in excellent shape; and a
plentiful supply is in the beds. Reports
from the other beds ere equally satisfac-
tory, and the outlook for an abundance
of the luscious bivalves was never better.
The new corn canning establishment OF
Mr.. Baker commenced operations We'd
nesday and during the day took in some
thing like 40 tons of sweet corn from the
farmers of the neighborhood, who have
contracted to raise certain acreages for
the firm. The factory and machinery is
all new and there was some little difficulty
in getting things in operation, but these
have apparently been overcome and
everything is running smoothly. The
yield of sweet corn is large and the firm
expects to do a big business the next few
weeks, for the corn packing season is
necessarily limited to few weeks.
REMOVAL have purchased the
property at 1918 French street and con-
verted it into modern up-to-date plant
for the manufacture OF monuments, vaults
head stones ETC., in fact anything in the
monumental or building line. My plant
is equipped with pneumatic tools, polish
ers, etc., and am now in position to give
the trade even better service than in the
past. The large stock now in my ware
room at Fifth and King Streets will be
removed to 1918 French Street, where l
shall be pleased to serve the public in
the best possible manner. A call over
either theDela. & Allan or the Delmar-
via telephones will be given prompt atten-

street, Wilmington, Delaware.
Those people who neglect, or refuse to
take the local paper these days are great
ly in their own light, SO are those who
neglect to read it carefully when taking
it. Local papers now discuss live issues
about your own county. No county man
can keep informed if he does not take a
county paper and read it. The big city
daily has its field, but it will not supercede
the local paper. In these days, when the
political conditions are discussed almost
exclusively in the papers, person must
read to keep informed. The TRANSCRIPT
urges the matter upon the people of rural
New Castle County because it is to the
best interest of the people of the county.
We try to make the TRANSCRIPT worth
reading and say this because we believe
we are able to benefit the reader many
times more than the one little dollar
charged for the subscription. We strive
for the good Of the county in our own
way, without regard to class or condition.
The family that takes no paper loses
more by such negligence than the local
paper does in small matter OF the subscrip-
ton price.
Mr.. William R. Polk, who is deeply
interested in the construction of the Mid
dletown and Cecilton trolley road, was
in town on Wednesday and paid our
office a pleasant visit. Mr.. Polk is well
pleased with the success he is having in
selling stock, and firmly believes that
the road will be built and operated. In
speaking Of our business men Mr.. Polk
said "If the people OF Middletown will
show their desire for the roads construc-
ton by subscribing for sufficient stock
to pay for rights Of way and the charter
in Delaware, the last obstacle has been
overcome, and have every reason to
believe they will see the situation as it
really,is, and give US their assistance.
know the business men of Middletown
are progressive in every way, and no
doubt they will see the advantage Of
having the road built and put in opera
ton at the earliest possible date" At
present Mr.. J. w. Cramp who superin-
tended the construction OF the Odessa
and Middletown railway, has a small
number of men and carts engaged in
grading for the road bed between War
wick and Cecilton, and after Wednesday
of next week this force of men may
be increased to $50.
