LUSCIOUS PEACHES IN THOROUGHFARE.
Fair SprinkIing Close to the Bay Shore That
Promises TO Pay the Growers handsomely.

THoRoUGHFARE NECK, August S.
1t is said by we'll informed persons
that Flemings Landing will be the
principal peach shipping center in New
Castle county, for the next few weeks.
Although we do not claim to have a
peach crop, fortune has favored several
of our fruit growers with a nice little
sprinkling of the luscious fruit.
Those living near the water have the
greatest amount of peaches. Mr.. VIM.
Keiser it is understood will have
several hundred baskets while Olney
Collins on the Samuel d Derrickson farm
has some very fine fruit of the Champ
ion variety, What the peaches lack
this year in quantity is made up in
quality, and Delaware has never pro
duced more luscious and beautiful
fruit than shipped from Flemings
Landing this year and handsome prices
are being realized by the lucky
growers.

FINES IMPOSED UPON NINE
MORE FOR SUNDAY TRAFFIC
THIRTY-TWO WOODLAND BEACH CASES
HEARD BEFORE SQUIRE CUMMINS.
All of the Accused Retus1 to Pay Their Fines
and We're Taken to Dover Where They
Took an Appeal - Later Released.

Interest still centers in the Wood
land Beach cases ana there seems to be
no let up to the charges brought. Yes
terday thirty-two more cases were
brought before Magistrate Cummins
of this town for violation of the Sun
day law on the 23rd and Both of July.
The charges were brought by William
A. Stokesbury, who has been prosce-
cutting nearly all of the cases, against
James r. Mott, proprietor of the
Beach, and his concessionaries. Six
teen cases were sustained and sixteen
cases were dismissed. Two cases each
were sustained against James r. Mott,
Robert L. Boyd, Alexander Thomp-
son, John L. Boyd, John H. Wiley,
Harvey Reynolds, Samuel Moon and
one each against Mrs. Annie Mott and
Miss Bertha Manlove. They were fined
each 81. 90 and cost. The hearing drew
large crowd around the magistrates
court. Attorney H. G. Eastburn who
represented Mr.. Motifs interest, was
present with Court Stepographer
Hardesty to take 'astimoney in the
proceedings. Like IN previous cases
all those declared guilty by Magistrate
Cummins, refused to pay their fines
aud were summarily turned over to
Constable BoyM for commitment.
The latter did not take them down to
Dover in hack this time, but went
down on train 81. Attorney Eastburn
had made all arrangements before hand
and had the writs of certiorari made
out which were promptly given tine
Sheriff who fastened to Smyrna to

The Woodland Beach prisoners were
later released in time to get to theil
homes that evening. These cases like
those previously heard will be tried

EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT
PUT INTO EFFECT MONDAY
NEW SYSTEM SEEMED STRANGE AT FIRST
BUT GIVES PROMISE OF SUCCESS.
All the Stores Except Drug Stores, Ice Cream
Saloons and Soda Fountains Come Within
Ban and Close Promptly at O'clock.

The early closing movement which
was worked up by the merchants and
clerks by a seemingly unanimity of
sentiment, was put in effect Monday
evening for the first time, when all
those who signed the agreement, in
Guiding the hardware and agricultural
stores, which came in line at the last,
closed their places of business prompt
ly at 6 o'clock. At first it seemed
very strange and it reminded one more
OF holiday evening than anything
else. Some who were not acquainted
or had lost sight of the movement 60
ing into effect, came down town to
make purchases, and very few coun-
try people were ''taken in" by the
change. The novelty of the thing
drew some people down town to see if
the new system was 1.-The real thing. 3"
A heavy rain storm came up early in
the evening, however, and drove
everybody within doors. The promo
ters of the movement seemed very
much encouraged over the outlook and
the opinion prevailed that it was an
excellent thing and would work out to
the good of all concerned. Merchants
and clerks who had never anticipated
such move felt relieved to think that
they were really free to go home to
their families or to spend the evening
in whatever diversion they saw best
Proprietors of department stores were
glad to see their clerks enjoying the
change, for after all it was for the
clerks that the movement was inau
gurated. 1t had long been an ex
ploded theory that it was necessary t.
be confined to store fifteen and six
teen hours in day, much of the tim,
in the evening simply burning fuel ant
furnishing a loafng place, when tel
hours would be ample for everybod,
to make their purchases. Clerks wer
naturally kicking" on the long hour
and the tendency was to drive tn,
young men to larger cities where the
could find shorter hours of employ
ment. The new system does ava
with all these fears and discomfort an,
when the six O'Clock closing move
ment is fairly launched, the peopl
have become educated to the fact, an,
all the rough places are "smoothe,
out, f." the people of Smyrna will doubt
: less look back upon the inauguration
of the movement as wise and benef
cial, and an important step in tn
progress of Smyrna.

WORKING ON LAST SMYRNA RIVER CUT.
Dredging Machines VIII Then be Put to Clean
ing the River of All Distractions.

Work is still progressing on the i'm
provements to Smyrna River. The
dredging machines are both at work,
one at the mouth of the river and the
other near Smyrna Landing. The lat
ter is working on the last cut which
will probably be completed this week.
Then comes one of the most tedious
jobs of the contract. that of cleaning
out the river and of making it a uni
form depth so as to admit of navigA
tion. AS most of it is soft, Shiny mud
it is difficult to handle and unless
properly dredged is liable to give trou-
BILE. This work will take longer than
was at first expected and may not be
in condition to use until the latter part
of the month. There is also consider
able work to be done at the mouth OF
the river.

special address to the Sunday School
children, bringing to them Message
of love and greeting from the children

Charge of the Pulpit Next Sunday.

Rev. DIR. Robert Watt, pastor of
Asbury M. E. Church, who has been
seeking a restoration of health among
the mountains at Ephrata, in Berks
County, Pennsylvania, arrived home
Monday evening with his family after
two months absence. They were
given a cordial greeting by their
Smyrna friends. DIR. Watts health
while very much improved, is not yet
in condition to allow him to take up
the work of his church too actively
and he has been advised to go slowly
for awhile. With this end in view he
has invited his friend, the Rev. DR.. S.
M. Morgan, of Dover, Presiding Elder
of Dover District, to be with him next
Sunday and to fill the pulpit at Asbury.
Last Sunday the pulpit was most ac-
ceptably filled by the Rev. T. F. Beau

preached two stroug sermons at the
morning and evening service and gave
an interesting address to the Sunday
School.

Between it and the tracks is a smooth

The AUTUMN SILKS
Are Displayed

This is to be a season Of plain silks-the
cxquisitely colored, high-lustre weaves.
But there is never a season when women
with individuality of taste do not demand nov
city effects, more or less extreme. And it is in
meeting this demand for exclusive things that
we are able to provide very exceptional dis
play of Novelty Silks, from France, Switzer-
land and Italy as well as the foremost Ameri-
can makers.
Many of the effects are elaborate, some
quite bizarre. These are planned on strik-
ing scale, in order to be effective when made
up under some sheer net or chiffon. Some have
figures woven in threads of gold, to CLINT and
glisten through the flmy over-draPery.
Today all these charming silks are arrayed
for public view.
Together with the novelties are the exqui-
site plain silks, in a hundred times as many
tints as the rainbow ever knew.
The new Velvets and Velours add richness
to the display-with novelties here as extreme
as ambitious woman or her dressmaker can
desire.
See the collection, at its best, today.

The board OF superintendents Of the Department
Of Education has decided not to open Public School
No. g.. at Hester Essex and Norfolk SITS. before
October /. The school IS the largest in the world
for elementary classes, and is expected 10 relieve
nearly eight thousand children from part time in
the most congested part OF the city.
The building is not quite finished. and, in order
10 move pupils in, it would be necessary to move
workIuen out The superntendents have informed
G B. J. Snyder, superintendent OF the Buildings
Bureau, that the men might continue at work
until the school is entirely finished. Il IS believed
that this arrangement viii be more satisfactory in
the end, as the majority OF the children on part
time here are pupils Of the first year. when the
new course of study provides only three and one
half hours work for them daily.
