No man should wait to be asked to
assist his neighbor in filling his ice house.
Ice in midsummer is a great luxury, and
there may be time when you will need
a small piece, and if you have assisted
your neighbour he will willingly give you
what you ask for.
Now 10 good time to pay your sub
scription. Six months have already slip
ped away and still the $3.50 due us is in
some other fellows pockelbook. Every
subscription paid to us at this time is
that much assistance rendered at the
right time. Friends, do not allow your
selves to believe we belong 10 DR.. Tan
ner's fasting class, Six months has con-
WINGED us that air is just little too thin.
One thing needed, and that at once,
is waiting place to protect passengers
from storm on the south side of the track
at the station here, AS it is one is com,
PEELED to stand out in the storm and
await the train. This should not be. The
excuse is that the platform is too narrow
to admit of building. Extend the shed
or building across the Delaware City
track. We think the company will sec
the necessity of this protection TO theil
patrons. Please give it attention.
