THE large number of reserved seats
sold mt 80 cts. each would indicate q large
audience to hear the Hyer Sisters Cornbi-
nation trOup this evening.

THE PHOSPHATE splutter set up by the
Wilmington papers has simmered down
to Il last siZzle from the SUNDAY Star. The
Erery E0eaing led off noisily on the sup
posed trail and the rest came in yelping
one by one in close persuit, but like Z. f.,
soon found it a cOld-nose chase and gave
it up. They might have done Levy Court
man Farrell the justice after their severe
imputations upon his character of saying
that he had made a statement, but they
have not this respect for u ''dOwn country"
Levy COurtman. 1t would be fun to see
lawyer Grubb trying to scare them again.

GILT EDGED BUTTER, now that the
fruit season is over, is claiming the atten-
ton OF l. 5. Lapham, near town. AS he
so frequently tops the list with his super
lor berries so in butter he strikes for the
'gilt-edged" quality and realizes the gilt
edged price of 40 cts. per pound before it
leaves the depot for New York. Securing
good stock of fresh COWS, they are cared
for in the best manner and the milk and
cream manipulated after the best method.
The starting point is liberal feeding of
fodder, corn and ship stuff. The latter is
purchased in Chicago where it is cheaper
than in Wilmington, the freight from the
former being only $3.50 per ton against
81 40 from the latter place.
