More Failures For Year

The annual report OF r. G. Dunn &
Co., regarding business conditions in
the IA counties OF the Delaware Mary
land peninsula shows nine more fail
ures this year than last, with the total
liabilities slightly higher and the assets
considerably lower. The correspond
ing figures are: 1909, failures, 50; liza
bilities, $3II,oIIo5; assets, $2I3,656. 81.
1910, failures, Is; liabilities, $3Io, 49,
40; assets, $I64,2o3.34. The agency re-
ports no heavy failures in the territory
during the year and says that business
prospects for the new year indicate a
fairly good trade.
Wholesalers report collections bet
ter than last year. The oyster trade
was not altogether profitable, small
returns having come from the poor
quality OF the oysters dredged. The
potato crop was large, and the fruit
crop was fair and good prices were
obtained. The condition OF the can
ned goods market was practically the
same as last year, except for peas, Of
which there was shortage with cor
respondingly higher prices. The to-
mato yield was from 90 to 70 per cent.
below that OF the previous year and
prices doomed.

AN ARTICLE came to our local
department last week and appeared in
our columns, concerning the engage
ment OF Miss Mabel Tome, a student
at the Tome School and daughter OF
Mrs Judith Tome, OF Port Deposit.
We are later assured by the family
that there is no word on truth in the
communication. This gives us occa-
sion, not only to express our regret
that the columns of a newspaper can
not be protected against such unwar-
ranted personal notices, but to ex-
press our disgust for the people who
are responsible Tor giving publicity to
such things, without foundation and
without respect for personal feelings.
There is nothing funny about get
ting such notices into the paper" 1t
is disgusting. 1t is impossible for a
paper to be entirely protected against
occasional abuse along this line; but
our personal feeling is that good
dose of the rawhide would be useful
to certain smart Alexis" whose crude
sense OF humor can imagine it joke
to lie about peoples personal and init
innate affairs, as il there were no such
thing in the world as a proDer sensi-
tiveness.
