THOSE who have engaged in
growing watermelons on a large
scale in this part of Delaware, have
found it profitable, and this season
has been especially favorable to
the grower. At and about Laurel
this business has assumed large
proportions, and the freight from
watermelons is a large item of the
railroad receipts at that place dur
ing the summer. When the steam
boat is placed on the route from
Milford to Philadelphia the acreage
should be quadrupled in this sec

VERY many of the canneries in
Kent and Sussex counties have
brought Pole and Hungarian labor
ers to do the work that has hereto
fore been performed by colored and
white labor from the locality in
which they are located. This has
been made necessary by the fact
that help gets more scarce and diff
fcult to control each year, and the
Gamers have been driven in self

The average detention on seven days was less

BISHOP COLEMAN has struck a
hard blow to the performance of
the marriage ceremony for elopiug
couples, by his advice to all clergy
men to refuse to marry all such
parties; especially such as come
from other states. The marrying
parsons who add materially to their
salaries by making a speciality of
performing wedding ceremonies,
will probably not heed the sugges-
tion, but all the same the move

THE man OF individual who de-
1iberately makes a joke of pretend

in this manner would make the joke
