Never in the history of Delaware fruit-growing have such luxurious berries hung from the vines. From $715,000 to $1,000,000 is the estimate placed on the crop of Delaware's three counties alone it is admitted, however, that the mil lion dollar figure will only be realiz ed in case good soil prices prevail i through-out the season. $750,000 estimate allows an average of 3-1-2 cents a quast for the ripened fruit. Our sincere sympathy goes out to the people of West l'ittston, who tor ; some months have lived between al ternate hope and fear, occasioned by the settling of the earth into the mines. After the first signs of ! trouble appeared some months ago, the movement subsided, and it was hoped that the trouble was over. Lately it has renewed itself to an alarming degree, and fine and costly residences and churches have been badly damaged and in some cases practically ruined, streets and- side walks have been upheaved, water and gas mains broken and nearly every form of damage and disaster except death and injury to people has been experienced. Earth quakes are said to be one of the most terrorizing experiences known. The condition of affairs at West Pittston is akin to that. The inhabitants not only live in constant fear of their houses falling down about their ears, but their is also danger of being smothered by gas, or that fire may break out, should escaping gas reach a fiame. Of course under such conditions the value of real estate goes down to ze ro and the woes of West l'ittston are many and sore. We extend to them our deepest sympathy.—Wya lusing Rockett.

She's splashing about and still , a-bunting, but nothing in sight yet. Call them what you please, but the Democratic platforms all stand for free trade and free soup. You can't rub that out. There are two sides to Democracy. There is the pie side for the politicians and the soup side for the suckers. Where are you "at?" The Democratic and Republican par ties are both levelers, but they work differently. Republicanism levels things up and Democracy levels them down. Here's an appropriate plank for the next Democratic national platform: Resolved, that we are stuck up in the blue mud of political pollution, and we don't give a darn who knows it. I.ots of those who are eternally wor rying somebody with platitudes about the "eternal principles" of the Demo cratic party couldn't furnish offhanded a list of these "eternal principles" to save their necks. If what the Clevelandites and the Bryanites are saying about each other is true there is no Democratic party these days, but the old thing has gone to seed and the seed have rotted. And It almost looks like it. What is hurting many Democrats more than anything else is that they can't point to a Democratic administra tion that ever gave the country such prosperity as the Republican's are do ing. No wonder they are worried. Primary Election Notice. Notice is hereby given In accordance with the provision of Act of Assembly of February 17, 1906, (P.
