The oyster catching season in local
waters will open on September 1st, and
from present indications a good season
will follow. While it is little early to
make very accurate predictions, some of
the oystermen who have been on the
oyster grounds say everything at the
present time is favorable, and unless there
is an unforeseen set back there should be
plenty of good oysters.

The difference in the size of this years |
'rop of peaches to be hauled out of Della
ware by the railroads is estimated as COM
pared with last years "fuke" crop, by |
with the number of cars used |
hen and now. Last year, it is said,
'nly 1856 cars were required to carry |
he entire Delaware crop. This year,
t is pointed out, already $500 cars have
,een requisitioned or pressed into service
or peaches.
Large hand bills placed in conspicuous
places about town are frequently de.
troyed by mischievous boys within a
ew hours after they are put up. These
'oys, no doubt, think it smart and manly
o destroy them, but, to the contrary, it
hows depravity and lack of home train
ng. These bills are not valueless, but
hey represent true worth to their owners,
nd are entitled to as much protection as
ther property. |
Several of the farmers in certain Sec
ions of progressive little Delaware are
gitating the names of their farms on the
Dad gate. They contend not only would
ersons driving to place more easily find
!, but that it would add more pleasure
nd interest to people driving from one
lace to another. Perhaps it would be I
ood method for the farmers of this {
ounty to adopt thereby making some take
lore interest in their chosen avocation.
