Divorces

on Tuesday said that divorce de
crees were granted to twenty-seve
couples and decisions reserved i
other cases by the courts of New
Castle county at its session ON Mon
day.
Four other cases were continued
to the November term, two discon
tinued by paying of costs, and etc.
A State so small as Delaware will
only three counties and a list of di-
vorces so large as above written, tC
be issued in one day from one of the
courts of the three counties of Del
aware, is a shame and should never
be permitted
What is Delaware trying to do? Is
the Diamond State trying to keep
pace with Nevada, where at Reno,
they grant divorces at will.
Jack Dempsey has just secured a
divorce at Reno from his wife, Es-
tella Taylor, on the plea of cruelty.
1t is laughable to think anything
could hurt Jack. He wanted to get
clear of his actress wife and
thought the courts of Reno were the
best way to do it.
should apply to all states where the
guilty party should never be per-
mitted to marry again. This would,
in measure, stop so many applica-
tions for divorce.
Out at Reno it is said very often
where divorces have been granted,
hardly has the decree been entered
before one of the parties is married
again, and some times both.
AS the case now stands the grant
ing of divorces promiscuously is a
farce and should be abolished and
laws enacted which would hold the /
marriage ceremony more sacred.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes this year have been
failure. Not on account of the yield
being small, but the price has been
of such a nature those farmers who
grew them lost money,
Ten cents per basket does not pay
the grower. Take for instance the
price of fertilizer and the work and
cultivating of them and then to pay
for gathering them, leaves nothing
for the farmer but a severe loss.
We are told that the same class
of tomatoes now being put up by
our packers can be bought at any
chain grocery store for much less
than the cost of packing them.
This state of things is brought
about by the market being flooded ..
by foreign packed goods, so that our
packers cannot afford to pay the l
wages demanded by the laboring
oil af Sc 41 ]
compete with goods packed by peo- :
pie at much lower rate of wages. d
The pack this year has been light
and will continue so, until relief is Z
sought and obtained, to relieve our Il
markets from the overflow of for d
eign goods.
It is in the hands of Congress to 3
give our packers relief from goods l
from across the sea, but they seem U
loath to pass an act which will keep "
the foreign goods where they belong "
to feed the people in the country ~ ~
where manufactured. ~
Some relief has got TO be given IL
to farmers and the Congress of the W ul
United States is the door in which y
this relief should come. II
Farmers, write to your Senators UI
and Congressman, stating your con-
ninp use tbo noyyo,. ,,,Iio1, ~, ~ la
'eady have to replace them with III
'thers who will act.
