Middletown transcript., 1904-11-05

The Th0roughfare Neck creamery
formerly owned BY Geo. Wiqgin Of near
Townsend was sold last week to Albert s.
Boyer of Taylors Bridge, who has been
operating the plant since il has been in
existance. The consideration was not
made public. Mr.. Boyer went to Ches-
ter. Pa, Friday and made arrangements
with the Chester Pure Milk Co. to take
all the cream, which will be shipped via
Steamer as there is no butter making
machinery attached to the plant. Mr..
Boyer took possession Nov. 1st.
Messrs. Frank G. Jolls, Edward Wilson,
and Harry Aiken, OF Middletown, and
Delbert Aiken, Of Delaware City. on a
cunning trip in Cecil county. Md, Tues
day killed So rabbits and also a number
Of birds. The law for rabbits was just
out in Maryland Tuesday and they are
said to be more plentiful than for num-
Der ofyears. The dogs, with the above gun
ners, had FIVE rabbits on the run at one
time and Mr.. Jolls killed three before he
even had q chance to pick one of them
up.
According to government report, the
corn crop this year will be the second
largest in the history OF the country.
The estimate places the crop at 2, 1853, ,724,
600 bushels. With splendid corn crop
and wheat crop that was satisfactory,
together with fair prices prevailing, the
farmers of this land can see their way
clear to pay their debts and putting q
little away for rainy day. And the
farmers are not the only ones benefited,
for the material prosperity OF the whole
country SO largely depends upon its grain
yield that nearly every industry is affected
by the annual returns Of the fields.
Our people are up in arms regarding
depredations to the young trees on the
walk leading to Forest Cemetery by mis-
creants on Halloween night. Nearly all
Of the trees as far out as the residence of
MIR. George F. Brady were cut down and
broken off, and Mr.. E. s. Jones has Of
fered reward Of $25 for the arrest and
conviction Of the persons, and everyone
who has the best interests Of the town at
heart feels the matter deeply. The trees
were just beginning to grow, and the pro-
gressiye townspeople were looking up on
them with pride. In few years they
would have reached their full growth
and afforded an avenue OF shade that
would not have been equalled in Della
ware. Now they are lying twisted and
cut along the sidewalk.
The Stockholders of the Farmers'
Creamery met at the new creamery on
Thursday, and organized by making Mr..
r. A. Cochran, chairman and G. FL. Green
secretary. The bylaws were adopted,
and they proceeded to make a per-
manent organization. Mr.. r. L. Naudain
was elected president and Mr.. Fl. w.
Pharo secretary and treasurer by nnam-
inous vote. 1t is hoped to begin opera
ton by the 10Th. Mr.. Naudain thanked
the stock holders for the honor paid him
in selecting him as president Of the Far
mers' Creamery and suggested that the
farmers work in harmony. Nothing but
success will be the outcome of the new
creamery project, and Middletown will
take another step forward in public i'm
proyement.
