HAS BEENs WON GAME

The second base ball game for the
championship of the town between the
Has Beens and the Would Be's was played
Wednesday afternoon, and the Has -Beens
came out victorious by the one sided
score OF 13 to 2.
The Would-Be's never had look-in
after tile third inning, but the Has Beens
continued to pile mp rnus, completely
demoralizing their opponents.
The battery work Of Messrs. Charles
and Daniel Craddock was fine, and had
they been given proper support tile
Would-Be's would not have scored their
two runs. Lynam's playing at first was
of the gilt edge order, and with little
practice he will be able to play in his
usual good form. DIR. Lewis played
fine game at,second, and had his eye on

CREAMERY DESTROYED BY FIRE
Middletown Farmes Creamery Reduced
TO Ashes Friday Morning


The Middletown Farms Creamery was
totally destroyed by fire at an early hour
Friday morning, aud while the building
was roaring mass Of flames, the Yolun-
teer Hose Company and several hundred
people could do nothing more than look
at one of our best industries go up in
smoke.
The fire was discovered at II 80 o'clock
aid the ircmen and number of our peo-
pie responded promptly to battle with the
fiam S, but it was evident after an obser-
vation that nothing could be done to save
the building The creamery was located
alongside Of the Delaware Railroad tracks
and several hundred yards South Of the
nearest fire plug, and while the Volunteer
Hose Company had sufficient hose to
reach the burning building, some OF them
we're old aEd wonld not stand the pres
sure of water, and after few moments
use the hose burs.ed and everyone
realized that the entire plant would be
destroy ed, and by three O'Clock all of the
buildings were in ashes.
Messrs Cook < Brady the proprietors
Of the local creamery, had frequently
asked the Commissioners to extend the
pipes to within reasonable distance oi
their plant and had been assured the ex-
tension woud be made, but the work was
deferred from time to time for various
reasons, and as result these gentlemen
will not only lose several thousands OF
dollars but be placed to great deal of in
convenience in handling the large guam
titles Of products from their various
creameries and separators-the bulk OF
which came to the local plant.
At the present time the Farmers Cream
cry is handling the milk formerly deliy-
cred to the Middletown Farms Creamery
but Messrs. Cook & Brady have several
plants where with little time and at
small expense, they can make butter.
The Sandy Branch Creamery will receive
the milk from the farmers in this section,
while Centreville, Md, is now handling
all Of tile output Of the Townsend cream
cry and the separators on the Queen
Anne's road.
The Middletown Farms Creamery has
been IN operation here for the past eight
years and was the largest creamery On the
Peninsula, and was one of the most prom
inent industries of our town. Mr.. Brady
informs US that the plant will be rebuilt,
and in all probability fire-proof struc-
ture will replace the one destroyed, but it
will require several months TO replace the
building, install the necessary machinery
and get the plant in operation. The
origin OF the fire is unknown, as the large
building which formed the L on the south
side OF the creamery was burning rapidly
when the fire was first discovered.
The buildings, machinery, etc, were
all insured but not for their full value,
and it is impossible to estimate the loss at
this writing.

FRUIT BADLY DAMAGED

The condition Of much Of the fruit
shipped during the past two weeks was
bad, and prices as result tumbled, rang
ing anywhere between 15 and 70 cents
per basket. Better fruit is now being
gathered, but prices came up slowly, and
the rich returns expected from the crop
will not materialize. The long continued
spell Of wet weather rotted tIl fruit and
marketable crop returns have been cut
literally in half A short spell Of abso-
lutely dry weather now might help the
Elbertas to round ont in shape, but much
Of this Drop some fruit growers claim is
already doomed.
