MOVE FOR SMYRNA BASE
BALL TEAM

An effort is being made to get
up strong baseball club for
Smyrna. Their experience last
year proved it to be costly job.
Not club of our own for simple
diversion, but a competing club
that requires a hired battery, pos
sibly a double one. This is of nee
essity an expensive, and causes a
going down into the pocket not
once, but several times during the
season. Religious and moral as
sociations might take a lesson in
the art Of giving from these de-
votees Of the bat, though there is
a difference in giving to single
object because the personal sense
Of pleasure is excited, and contrib
uting to many through a feeling Of
duty to benefit others. The move
ment now on foot is to organize a
stock company to control the club.

BUILDING MOVED FROM
BANK PROPERTY

The shop which stood near the
Fruit Growers Bank, noted last
week as having been purchased by
w. w. Tschudy has been moved
since and placed on the northwest
corer Of Commerce and Delaware
streets. It had been currently
rumored through the winter that
a new brick building was to be
placed on this, the second most
important street intersection on
our most frequently thoroughfare,
which was a pleasant anticipation
as a needed improvement for that
part of the town-a feeling very
different from that entertained for
what is called "shanty" that now
adorns it. Perhaps some of these
years it may move to the rear. #
such shanties as this and the re
pulsive rookery that has been
placed at the corner of Main and
Railroad Avenue were thus given
prominent positions in any pro-
gressiye Western town (and they
are most all thoroughly progress

them to be thought splendidly

authorize inspection of the dupli-

public inspection only to the ex-

ANNIVERSARY OF 1888
BLIZZARD

Yesterday was the anniversary
of the great blizzard of March
1S88-in its bright sunshine and
mild temperature a very different
day from that of year ago. The
storm, it is true, began about an
hour before midnight of Sunday
the 11th, but as its chief force
was manifested after midnight the
following day, the 18th, will be
justly recognized as the time of its
occurrence. Few people were pre-
pared for the surprise which
awaited them that morning when
they woke up and found the snow
piled window high, keen pene-
trating blast blowing, all lines of
travel tied up and business vir-
tually at a standstill. One such
storm is enough Of a meteorologic-
al landmark for a generation and
it is hardly likely that the present
generation will see a second like it.

"REMINISCENCES OF
MRS. SARAH MASON

My thoughts to-day have revert
ed to the many past and curious
events that occurred during a per-
iod of a little more than thirty
years, during my residence in what
is now known as the Delaware
House" in Smyrna. 1t is impossi-
BILE for me to give the exact dates.
The sad loss / have sustained in
the loss of my sister Mary / often
feel, whose memory was SO re-
markable that she could tell the
year and day Of the month of all
extraordinary circumstances. The
failing stars" in 1888 as they
were called, remember very well,
and it was sublime sight. 1t ap-
peared as if the whole canopy of
Heaven was discharging its num-
erous consultations upon the earth
and many people were frightened
almost to death. / have never
seen anything to compare with it
since. There were some strange
family quarrels that took place in
our house more than fifty years
ago never been made public 1t is
not worth while to accuse women
any more Of not being able to keep
a secret. There were four women
in our family who knew it and
never revealed it, There was a
certain family that were well edu-
Gated and had seen a good deal of
the world and moved in the best
society we had here, but for some
cause were at variance with each
other. They met at our house
whether from accident or appoint
ment, do not remember. Such
charges and counter charges as
t,ey made against each other was
not pleasant to themselves nor our
family to hear. When they got
through they comforted themselv-
es by saying they were glad the
quarrel happened where it did, as
they would not be exposed. This
was the first cyclone we had in
our house. After a while a second
one happened by another family
quarrel which took place accident
ally at our house. 1t was very
harsh while it lasted, and we af-
terward headr that one Of the lad
les was very much mortified that
we witnessed it. But we did not
expose either of them-Sarah B.
Mason.

manure alone. Olin Elzey, Sails
bury, Maryland, husked out over
2 baskets more per shock where he
applied 2-8-10 mixture and Ern-
est Killen, FELTON,, Delaware har-
vested Is baskets more per acre
where he applied the 2-S-10 an
alysis. These are but few of the
many farmers who have found
that the 2-8-1O mixture is eco
nomic and very satisfactory.
Not only has the 2-8-10 mixture
shown favorable results on corn,
but it has also become a standard
analysis for most of the grain
crops. Wheat produces larger
yields and plumper heads when
fertilizzed with a 2-8-10 fertilizer
An 0-12-12 mixture may be ap-
piled in the fall, with the nitrogen,
if needed, applied in the early
spring. Soybeans and cowpeas re-
spond to this analysis with in
creased yields of from IL to Is
bushels per acre. These crops may
need more nitrogen on some soils,
thus some growers use a 4-8-10 or
5-8-12 mixture.
Although not many growers use
this analysis on tomatoes, yet
among the Ten Ton Tomato Club
members in 1887 E. Raymond
Slaughter, Trapp, Maryland, pro-
duced a yield of 10.39 tons per
acre. His fertilizer treatment was
a 2-8-10 plus a heavy application
of manure.
