Wilmington Commended as Trade Centre.
[From the sussex Journal, Feb. 14l

tFrom the Sussex journal Feb. Ii
The visit of the legislature to Wilmington was
everything the visitors could ask. The Board
of Trade Board of Education and citizens did
everything possible to make the visit pleasant,
and how admirably they succeeded, every visitor
can testify. That the excursion to Wilmington
and the mingling OF the people of the extreme
sections of tho State, interchange Of views,
acauaintances with the industries, enterprises
and needs of each will result in lasting good to
both sections there can be no doubt.
II as some contend (Which do not admit) the
people Of the lower counties are unreasonable in
refusing the demands Of Wilmington this vii cease
when our people become thoroughly acquainted
with the industries and the needs OF Wilmington.
Certainly every one must recognize the fact that
the prosperity OF Wilmington is the prosperity OF
| the State, and we believe that our people are
| truly proud OF this growing city and were they
more familiar with its great manufacturing inter-
ests and more intmat ly associated with its bus
| mess men they would feel more inclined not only
to concede such legislation o. it requires but to
make it the business centre Of the State.
Our people have business association with
/ Philadelphia and Baltimore when they should
buy their goods and stop their produce at Viii.
| mington. In the past years Wilmington has not
furnished As desirable market as the other cities
/ but the time has come when it can and does fur
/ nish all the advantages which can be found in
4 Philadelphia. Then is it not our interest anC
duty to spend every dollar we expend in that city
| which is part and parcel of us This is simply
| self preservation and we believe that our people
i will ere Tong awake to the necessity of building
| up and binding together the interests Of oui
| State. Every dollar of Wilmington capital helps
| pay our taxes, helps educate our children ant
1 the increase of wealth in New Castle does not
i only not iniure and impoyerish as but absolutely
| and directly enrohes Kent and Sussex.

The clouds that stoop from yonder sky
Discharge their burdens, and are free;
The streams that take them hasten BY,

The widest winds in wales afar
Sleeps, pillowed on its ruflied wings;
And song, through many stormy bar,
Beats into silence on the stringsi
And love o'ercomes his young unrest,
And 1rst ambitions tight is Ger;
And doubt is Graded on the breast
OF perfect faith. and speaks no more.
Our dreams and passions cease to dare,
And honely patience learns her part;
Yet still some keen, pursuing care
Forbids content to brain and heart.
The gift unreached, beyond the hand;
The fault in all of beauty won;
The mildew Of the harvest land.
The spots upon the risen SUM-
And still some cheaper service claims
The will that leaps to loftier call
Some cloud is cast on splendid aims,
On power achieved some common thrall.
To spoil each beokoning victsry,
A thousand pigmy hands are thrust;
And, around each height attained. we see
Our ether dim with lower dust.
An, could we breathe some peaceful ait,
And all save purpose there forget,
Till eager courage learn 10 bear
The gadnys sting, the pebbles fretl
Let higher goal and harsher way,
To test our virtue, then combined
HTis not for idle ease we pray,
But freedom for our task divine.

Every year increases the populari-
tv of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
