As yet not a paper on the PENN
sula are willing to put down cheap
advertising frauds excepting the New
Castle Star and Enterprise of Seaford.)
Is it possible that advertising shy
locks dictate to such sheets2 We
hope not. These papers could soon
double the price of advertising if they
will only come out and say what they
will do. and stick to it, These fellows
must advertise or lose their customers,
and they will be compelled to pay for
it when they have it done. Why not
make them.

THE glorious Fourth has come and
gone. Many joys and disappointments
was the natural result. The small
boy in the large city was "all broken
up" on account of the "plaguey" laws
in relation to firing crackers. This
town was under strict police surveill-
ance, and the Italians kept we'll to
their "commodious" quarters. Pic.
MICS near the town enjoyed day Of
pleasure, dompened, possibly, in the
latter part of the day by drenching
rains. The young folks took it good
naturally, and the older heads looked
grimly. Wilmington passed the day
and night without fire alarm. Phil
adelphia is said to have been US lucky.
Many throughout the country pur-
sued their daily advocations, and in
