publish these statements of analyses of
fertilizers in all the newspapers of the
State, twice each year, and in the bulle-
tins as well. The members of the Grange
are a very small part of the farming COM
munity Of this or any other State, and the
agricultural society and its interests are
followed by only a small part of the ag-
nculturists; it's the proletariat who must
be reached if we expect to elevate, bene-
fit or encourage those engaged in farm
ing. With these changes the bill is a
good one to put into effect. as We under
stand its provisions.

As a specimen Of selfishness and an ex-
ample of narrow view the town of New
ark, Delaware, contains some rare spec
linens in its citizenship. The more that
Is done toward helping public institu-
lions which disburse money among the
people for the necessities of life, about
the town of Newark, the more anxious
appears the desire to exact petty tribute
for the town. We are led to this expres-
sion Of opinion by the intention ex-
pressed in bill which has been presen-
ted to the legislature, which would, if
passed and approved, tax the property
owned by the four student fraternities,
tor town purposes in Newark. Each Of
these frsternities disburse about three
hundred dollars each month for meats.
groceries and supplies among the mer-
chants of Newark, and during the year
the sum approximates close to ten thOus-
and dollars. The State exempts all prop
erty used for educational purposes as
well as all property used for church pur-
poses from taxation, and the residences
of preachers fall under this exemption
as well as schools and dormatories. These
fraternity houses are only dormatoHes,
and if they were not there It would be
impossible for Delaware College to have
the two hundred students now attending
her courses. One good thing about Del
aware College is that boys and girls can
get an education there at reasonable ex-
pense. Nothing, in our opinion, should /
be done to increase unnecessarily this ex- /
Pense. This bill is good one TO kill.

GLENDALE

Much excitement was caused here
Monday evening during the stormy
weather when gun shots were heard at
the edge Of town, and visions of pOssi-
bic murder were before the people of
our village. Investigation showed, how
ever, that the shooting had been done
by William Marker and that the victim
was one of the largest rscoons ever killed
IN this section. The animal was making
its way toMarker's poultry house when
/ the dogs found it and drove it up tree.
1t was there the animal was killed.
Harry Jester killed four nine months
old pigs the combined weight of which
was 1000 pounds this week. This is an
average of 400 pounds per pig. Who can
beat that for pigs of that age ?
Tolbert Macklin lost a large hog this
week by cholera.
Col. d. H. Reed lost a valuable mule
this week.
Some hesrtless person left a poor suf-
fering horse in a vacant lot of R. ].
Clendaniel last week. After four days
Of suffering the animal died and was
taken to the bone factory at Milford.
1t is thought that the animal was left
by band Of gypsies.
Many of our women are in high glee
over the hopes of being able in the near
future to compete with their masculine
friends at the polls. On Saturday after
noon some prominent suffragette speak
ers. among them Mrs. William Hills, Of
Wilmington, will address the people Of
Ellendsle on the subject. The meeting
Will be held IN front of the postOffice.
On Thursday evening, February 11th,
the fourth debate of the series on Con-
sllldation Of the Rural Schools will be
held by four brilliant school teachers.
This debate is Of vital interest to the
farmers and they should attend. Another
debate the same afternoon will be be-
tween our high school BOYS on the Ad-
Instability of Adding Mexico to The
United States.
Another boy has come to town to stay
awhile, and it is young Ed Loper. The
youngster weighed 10 pounds. It is
strange thing, but all the children born
here this year have been boys. This,
say the wise ones, is a sure sign of war.
Saturday night the usual big whiskey
row was kicked up. No policeman was
here and in the fight one man smashed
anothers face. A law suit resulted on
Monday
AT the farmers meeting Saturday
night word was received that Mr.. Whit
taker, attorney for Shannahan & DeboW,

Germ to the satisfaction of the tomato
growers.
