SHARPERs selling tea and lottery
tickets continue to work various

THE school authorities of DelmGr

every good and perfect gift, and that
their thanksgiving feast may be boun-
teous. Remember the poor "inas-
much as We have done ituntO one OF the
least of these, ye have done 1t unto
me-"
CANNED TOMATOES have heen selling
below the cost reproduction for several
weeks The cause of this is attributed
to the Gamers of Hartford county, Nd.
They had heavy packs and many Of
them were compelled to put their
goods on the market because they
could not get advances from Baltimore
commission merchants. 1t Is very
likely that there will be an early adj
vance.
