A Worcester Stock Farm.

Another instance of Worcester County
thrift and enterprise Is being evidenced
in the case of Mr.. E. P. Timmons, a
wholesale commission merchant OF Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Timmons is a native Of
Worcester County, but has resided a
number of years in Philadelphia. where
he has made considerable money. Like
many other Worcester CONTAINS. who
have met with success abroad, Mr.. Tim
mons retains fond recollections Of the
scenes of his childhood, and believes his
native county is the best place to spend
and enjoy part of his fortune.
He has recently purchased of the heirs
of the w. J. Geddes estate, fine farm
on the bay shore. This farm contains
600 acres. is conveniently located near
Girdletree, and was purchased by Mr..
Timmons at cost of sls,60O.
Mr.. Timmons intends to make Of his
purchase a breeding farm for Shetland
ponies. He shipped last week con-
signment of two carloads containing
eighty-six ponies, representing some Of
the best breeds in the country. Mr..
Timmons secured these ponies from
the celebrated stock farms of Pierre
Lorillard and Edward Twaddell.
This enterprise in which Mr. Timmons
has engaged is no small affair, but rep
resents an outlay of several thous-
and dollars, outside of the original cost
of the farm. One stallion, which Mr..
Timmons imported from Wales, cost
him 81, 600 another imported from the
Shetland Islands cost him $500; and
several ponies cost him 5000 a head.
He has sixty mares which are in foal,
and which will bring forth colts next
spring.
Mr.. Timmons anticipates no trouble
in finding a market for his ponies, but.
on the contrary, says he can sell them
as fast as he can raise them.

Vote For The Amendment.

News comes from Wicomico and Som
erset Counties, both neighbors of Wor-
cester. that all Democrats and many Re-
publicans, will vote for the Amendment.
The people were never more in earnest
for anything than they are to carry
this Amendment through VIGOROUSLY.
1t will disfranchise the ignorant negro,
but no white man rich or poor, will lose
his vote. Don't allow yourself to be
deceived by what the Republicans tell
you, be sure to vote for the Amendment.
Il will be the happiest act you ever per-
formed and you will never regret it as
long as you live. Every state south of
Maryland has done what we are en-
deavoring to do and in no Southern
state has any white man lost his vote.

For Wreckmaster:

DEMOCRATS. Don't fail to
vote the entire Democratic
ticket. If you attempt to cut
your ticket and vote for some
candidate of the Republican
party you may spoil your en-
tire ballot and thereby lose
your vote. The only safe plan
is to vote in the squares opposite
the names of the Democratic
candidates. Fourteen cross
marks will vote for every Demo-
cratic candidate and theAmend-
ment. Watch your ticket care
fully and vote right. Some of
our Republican friends who are
very nice fellows socially are
attempting to get Democrats to
vote for them. Politically, these
Republican candidates are the
strongest kind of party men,
and it is safe to say they never
vote for a Democrat. If you
were a candidate they would be
sure to vote against you. Some
day your opportunity to be
served by your party may come
and you will be proud to say
that you never cut your ticket.

Ice Cream For All Occasions.

Middletown Farms Diaries, at Middle
town, DEL, is much pleased with the
success of the firms campaign for trade
down the Peninsula. and more particular
ly their ice cream and butter. They are
now supplying ice cream to scores of
towns where people formerly sent to
Philadelphia for it. The Farms has an
ice cream that is certainly not excelled
by any concern in point of quality. The
management believes there is no sane
reason or excuse in the people of the
Peninsula going to Philadelphia for ice
cream when they can get it at Middle
town much more conveniently. The
record of the past summer goes to show
that many down state people are looking
at the matterin the same light. for they
are buying their cream at Middletown.

The stoopless dustpan which has

new implement has long handle by
which it is carried conveniently and
at the same time the handle controls
the operation of lid which opens foi
the reception of the dust when the
pan is placed on the floor and as 1t
is raised after gathering up the accu
mutations, the lid closes, hiding the
contents from view and preventing
their being scattered by the winds OF

Driven Out by Pure Food Law.

Such frauds bad grown up in food
stuffs that it was imperative that
stringent measures be taken to pro-
tect the lives and the health of the
people. Unprincipled persons engaged
in manufacturing of baking powders,
fiavoring extracts, the selling of spices
and coffees and teas, and their prod.
ucts were the vilest combinations of
drugs and other materials. These
goods were disposed of to dishonest
grocers, but the chief way OF selling
them was through travelling agents,
and direct by mail. Not many months
