The general opinion of men who are
interested in the industry of tomato can
ming is that the pack Of that vegetable in
Delaware during the coming season will
fall far short of those Of the past two
seasons. The poor prices obtained for
the canned goods during the past two
years, during which time the market has
been too full OF tomatoes, is held respon-
sible for the prediction.
The public have little appreciation Of
the value of well conducted local news.
papers. Their Offices of beneficence to the
community are so common that they are
unnoted, rut none the less; no town or
city can advance unless its newspapers
are in the forefront of its advancement.
They are the life Of the community. They
must lead in every effort to invite capital,
enlarge industries and enthuss the peo-
pie in the-use of their advantages.
Frank Stout, agent for the Society of
Cruelty to Children came to Middle
town Friday to look into the matter Of q
couple of colored orphan boys, John and
Oliver Lewis, who have been living with
Caroline Robinson THAR grandmother.
One of the boys was charged with having
cut another small colored boy and disor-
derby conduct, while complaint of dis
orderly conduct, was also made against the
other boy. After investigating the matter,
agent Stout took the lads to the Ferris,
Industrial School in Wilmington.
Be progressive. Do not wear your life
away struggling along in the old rnts that
your forefathers cut SO deep by continual
travel. While they are good in their way
and no doubt considered safer, yet the
wheels Of your vehicle turn so slowly that
you are left far behind by your more pro.
gressive fellow travellers. Keep s.moving,
and a-pushing and a-crowding toward the
front. You'll not much more than hold
your place in the procession the best you
can do. The men at the front these days
are those of brains and energy combined.
You have place there if you will hustle
for it. II you don't hustle your place will
be taken by the fellow who does. Be
alive.
