81. 500 in Cash Prizes at Peninsula
Apple Show.

The Peninsula Horticultural Society
will have the biggest Apple Show ever
seen on this Peninsula at its meeting in
Wilmington next January. The Whining
ton Board of Trade contributed $500 in
cash besides taking care of rent for hall
for the meeting and exhibition rooms for
the. fruit and vegetable displays. The
Delaware Board of Agriculture contrib
utes $500 in cash. The Society itself will
make up another $500. Special premiums
viii also be solicited and will add mater
tally to these cash prizes and the value of
the premium list. The largest prizes will
naturally be for apples, as this fruit can
be kept for winter exposition much
better than peaches and the other more
perishable fruits, and there will be three
or four large cash prizes for the best
general display of apples, and liberal
prizes for boxes and plates of all the lead
ing commercial varieties. Apple growers
should begin now to send their fruit to
cold storage for this show. 1t will be
stored free OF charge at the wilmington
Abattoir and Cold Storage Company, a3o
Tatnall ST., Wilmington, Delaware. The
full premium list will soon be out and
will offer liberal prizes for all fruits and
vegetables and for canned fruits, ETC.. and
may be had by addressing the Secretary,
Wesley Webb, Dover, Delaware.
Hon. F. N. Soper. President of the
Society, requests especially the smaller
growers to make exhibits and assures them
that the premium list is arranged for them
as well as for the big fellows. Every
farmer should be interested because this
show means better fruit, better farming.
better prices for lands. and more profits to-
the farmer. hence more comforts and
luxuries for his home.

An Old Resident Calls.

John T. Egan, former resident of this
town. now living at Upland. Pa, was a
visitor here this week. Mr.. and Mrs.
Egan celebrated the 81 anniversary of
their marriage on Wednesday and held an
informal reception at their home. after
which they came to Cecil county to re-
visit old scenes. The groom is So years
old and is quite hale and hearty. In re-
calling events of ye olden days he said
that the first M. E. church edifce in Rising
Sun was built on the'site of the present
church and was dedicated in October 81
years ago, he being one of the trustees.
1t was frame building and cost $500.
Years ago while living at Porter's
Bridge Mr. Egan decided to break into
print" and win fame for himself and his
locality by sending items for publication
to the father Of the present publishers Of
the JOURNAL. He rechristened Porters
Bridge ..Mechanicsville" aud headed his
items from that mythical place. Ye
editor was at a loss at first to locate
"Mechanicsville" but finally got it placed
in his mind and stated he had formerly
known the so-called metropolis as Houn'
Hollow and that on very clear day two
houses could be seen with the naked eye.
This so discouraged the young scribe that
he let MechanicsviIle "go to the dogs"
but it has since lost its former title and
is at present known as Richardsmere and
now boasts OF more than two houses by a
dam site with Atkinson,s mill and
Ellioi's store in addition.

tors thereof He further alleged that the
administration of the estate was entirely
confided to Austin L. Crothers; that Aus
tin l. Crothers gave to the petitioner
little or no information concerning the
estate; that no inventory of the estate was
ever returned to the court and there has
never been any account filed or distribu-
ton made so far as the records of the
court disclose.
Under the terms Of the will of Charles
C.rCrothers, Austin L. Crothers was to

they claim that the estate, so far as the

has been practically settled, and that there
is now balance due to the estate of
