coming week will be quite stirring in our good town
of Wilmington, which people wiN call city, per-
haps because by resolution of the last General AS
sembly, the head of the town government is called
Mayor. But in law this is only town, and so the
resolution desgnates it. But that is nothing. The

Road Company, hold meetings here this week, for
the election of officers and for other purposes
