HOUSES SCARCE Although Wyoming is COM
paratively new town, 1t has outgrown many
towns with older antecedents and 1t is now a
busy, enterprisiug go'ahead town. Houses have
always been aud are yet in demand by new-oom-
ers
The New DEpor.-The new building has al
ready been noticed in the COMMERCIAL and TRI-
BUNE. In size aud appearance it is the exact
counterpart OF the one at New Castle. The To-
cation Of the New Depot was the theme Of con
siderable discussion, and no little feeling was
manifested between the mp and down townera,
but the latter finally triumphed, and the south
end through the influence aud exertions of Mr..
IL. Cross Etq. who contributed largely for
that purpose, got the depot. This will
stimulate BUILDING in that part of the town,
and new public thoroughfare is being opened
to connect the station direct with Camden, the
corporation llullJ ol WHICH huJo tndt VI wy
oming,
HOTEL CHANdE-E aqc b. Downham, the re-
cent proprietor Of the Wyoming Hotel, having
relinqushed the business, Ralph Ackerman has
assumed the proprietorship, and we are assured
is keeping good Hotel. Every body who stops
here must become acquainted with John Gun
ming, who is quite an institution here. Without
any direct insinuations whatever against Johns
habita, we would advise him to join the Good
Templars again.
SILL They CoME.--Settlers from the North
keep coming to the lsnd Of fruits. Among t
the latest arrivals il that of f. V. Poole FROM
Tioga County, New York He has bought what
was known as the "Pierce farm" and isgoing in
to the raising of fruit. Mr.. p is an active man
and quite an acquisition to the enterprising men
of Wyoming.
MINOR LocALs.-There are two Republicans
here who say they will vote for Greeley, but
there are quite larger number Of Straightouts'
who will either vote the Louisville, or the Re-
publican ticket, and many more who will not
vote at all.
Albert Watson, formerly of Wilmington and
now telegraph operator here is buying apples
for ten cents a bushel to be shipped to Philadel-
phia for vinegar.
On accouutof the number of fruit canneries
in operation in the vicinity the peach shipments
are not 30 large AZ they otherwise would be, and
yet the shipments are larger than anticipated.
j. Colby Smith, of Willow Grove has peach
crate depot here and has done large business
in selling peach crates.
John T. Jakes has ilourishing patch Of pea
nuts which promises to be very prolific.
d. w. Carey has large German Cuckoo Clock
For every stroke of the clock cuckoo flies ont
of little door and cries Cuckoo and when
ever the clock is done striking the bird flies bach
and the door shuts. MIR. @. has also large col
lection of old aud unique coins, besides many
other interesting relics.
The DELAwARE TRIBUNE is read by everybody
and the large posters printed at the COMMERCIAL
office are much admired
