Opening Indian River.

Acting on the idea that "GOd helps
those who help themselves" the lead
ing men of Baltimore, Indian River
and Dagsboro districts, Sussex County,
published last week in the Sussex Jour-
nal the following:
Notice The people of Baltimore, In
dian River and DagsbOrO Hundreds are
requested to meet at the old Basin
annel on Indian River, on Monday,
ugust 18th, at o'clock, for the pur-
pose Of cutting a new inlet at that place,
where there was a good inlet one hum
dred years ago. The old channel is still
there and runs within % yards Of the
beach. and is the best and easiest place
to make an inlet to open up Indian
River to commerce. We want 25 scoops,
so horses and 500 men, and we can con-
meet the waters Of the bay and ocean
in q day. Come everybody and bring
shovels and help this project that means
so much to all the citizens Of the ad-
joining hundreds.

Black Saturday.

1t has been the custom for the cOlOred
people of Delaware to have their es-
pecial day at the shore, and last Satur-
day was their for gathering at Bowers
Beach. Tomorrow will be the day
for them to meet at Slaughter Beach,
and if the weather is favorable thous-
ands will be there from the upper part
Of Sussex county. This year there will
not be the usual disorder from drunken
people, as the opportunity to get I'M
limited liquor is absent yet there will
be some speakeasy whiskeY in evidence
as there appears to be a feeling in Mil
ford that no effort will be made to at.
rest the dealers. There are several
negroes who sell liquor weekly, and
who are getting forehsnded in finances.
It's no trouble to pick them up, If de-
sire to do 20 is put into effect. The
Beer Club, is working quietly to sup
ply its own patrons; but the negro
population is not included in it. That
organization would be free from the
law, provided they gave no beer to
others who have not contributed to-
wards it purchase-but this is not lived
up to in fact, and there may be some
thing doing all along the line before
October. 1t is safe to say, that Black
Saturday will not be a disorderly gath
ering this year.

Milford Peach Market.

The crop has been below expectations
as to the number of baskets this season
for several reasons. The peaches were on
the trees, but the drought caused them
to be of small size, and the rains which
came at ripening season caused the fruit
to rot badly.
The growers have fallen down in hOu-
esty of packing in several instances, and
this caused several of the best buyers to
refuse to receive fruit from the Milford
market, and they sent their orders else
where. That operated to pull down the
prices, but we are glad to say that the
men who packed dishonesty were shown
up by the systematic dumping Of baskets
from every load.
Monday morning there was great deal
Of really fine fruit in market, but dozen
loads or more showed up badly, and the
owners were compelled to Gull the fruit
before the buyers would bid on it. Prices
for fine yellow fruit ranged from 90 cents
to 81 per basket, while many loads brought
Is cents. A fine lot of Wards Late,
white variety, owned by Noah Warren,
was dumped and found to be even better
at the bottom than it showed at the top,
and it brought 80 cents per basket straight.
The boats and cars took away carloads.
