Blackbird is said to be the one hum
dred of the county that is free of debt.
This is creditable to Blackbird. 1t is
a small hundred, composed of rul al
folks. But there is fine land in Black
bird and in parts of it the public roads
are as good as in any section of the
county. The promised revival of the
fruit industry in Blackbird-and there
are now there some of the finest young
peach orchards and Vineyards to be
seen in Delaware-will cause the ag-
riculturists of that region to become
greatly interested in good roads.
Blackbird is hundred of long hauls.
The stations are far distant from most
of the farmers and the delivering oi
their products to places of transpor'
tation'is problem that confrontsthem.
GOOD roads will reduce the required
horse power in pulling teams by al
least one-third. So the road question
becomes a practical one when looked

BANK
STATEMENT

The Empire National Bank pub
fishes its financial statement In this
issue of the Telegram, pursuant to
a call NV the comptroller of the treas
ury at Washington. The statement
shows the bank to be in a very graft
fying condition. It discloses the
fact that the Empire is taking on
rapid growth all the time and becom-
ing more and more a very strong
institution, as well as a very popular
one with the business men of this
community. The deposits reach
nearly a half million and its assets
have gone beyond the million dol
lar mark. No financial institution
need be ashamed of such fine show
ing and there are but few banks that
have risen to such eminenee at the
Empire in so short a time.
