FOR THE YEAR 1888.
gE-New and enlarged Kilns and Shedding have re
entlyibeen erected at E rea4eXpense.
As an experiment, and to meet the necessity
of the times, we decided three years ago to
lower the price of our LIME 25 per cent,
making it 6 cents per bushel, instead of
cents, as formerly. The success of this plan
was such that our sales were MORE THAN
DOUBLED, and we concluded to continue the
price at
6 Cents per Bushe1
and cheapness of Shell Lime for agricultural
purposes can be attested by hundreds Of the
best farmers of Delaware and Maryland, and
the steadily increasing demand is the best
proof of its merits. Now is the time to inn
prove lands at small cost.

WASHINGTON Dec. THE star prints the follow
ing: Mr. Carlisles friends say that he has not
in any way committed himself as regards
the construction of the House Committees. The
assumption, they say, that certain men will
occupy prominent places is based entirely
upon their presumed fitness for the positions,
and does not dispose of the possibility that
Mr. Carlisle may make entirely different
selections. The only chalrmanship that it is
quite evident is disposed of is that of
the WAYS and Means The rest are in doubt, to say
the least and any attempt to name the personnel OF
fbe committees would be an assumption which
facts would not warrant. The only thing Mr.. Car
Isle has given his friends to as positively
he nlaced under the control of the members
from the West who elected upon the tariff
issues This would preclude any slate made up
merely with regard TO the known fitness OF certain
old and tried members.

To the former is to be referred all subjects reatg

American commerce has constantly demanded tne

Committee believe that a division Of the labor of
this important committee of the Senate will be fol-
