There is Snow in the Air!

And it makes us feel like buying our
Winter Boots, and the query comes up,
where shall we get them at the Shoe Store
of course, and let us say something of what
we have in that line. Walker & Browns
have been sold heavily by the JObbing House
of T. G.. Else & Co., for the last twenty-five
years, and in that time they have ONLY two
pairs to come back. Every pair is warrant
ed by the Manufacturer, this is a record that
ought to give every man confidence in the
Boots. This year we have the light Kip
half-dress Boot that most persons ask for
here; we call it P-Calf Then we have the
heavy Chicago Kip, 2O-inch leg, Z double
sOIe double sole, and dOnble sole and tap.
Again we have the DUTCH BOOT, and as
cheap one our flesh split, double sole clear
back with tap, cannot be surpassed for the
money. WE HAVE THE INSIDE
TRACK ON BOOTS, GETTING THEM
MANUFACTURERS PRICES, and this
don't mean prices of makers who cater for
the retail trade, for they get about as much
for their goods, quality considered, as reli-
able jObbing houses.
We would like to say word about a
line of Ladies' Mat Kid Button Shoes, just
in, on common sense last, also on latest style

KENT COUNTY ALLIANCE.-This Or
ganization met in Camden Thursday
afternoon, for the purposed of rounding
up the years work and settling upon
some plans for future work. The situa-
ton was pretty thoroughly canvassed,
and it was finally decided to request
the State body to call a meeting soon.
Mrs. H. H. Prettyman, nee Ida Hud-
son, daughter of Homer Hudson, a
large tobacco manufacturer of COving-
ton, KY, is seeking a divorce from her
husband, Harry H. Prettyman, who is
native of Milford, but now is doing
business in New York. According to
Cincinnati and Covington newspapers,
Mrs. Prettyman is asking the divorce
on the grounds of desertiOn, claiming
that her husband has been absent from
her for over a year. Mr.. Prettyman
does not oppose the legal separation,
claiming that his wife's temper is such
and has been from the first day of their
marriage, as to render them unhappy
as man and wife.-MiJfOrd Ne1Us.
POLITICAL NOTES.-The Wilmington
Sunday Star has the following among
some political notes pertaining to our
state:
The two great factions of the Demo-
cratic party are standing with locked
horns over the tender pastures OffedeTal
patronage, while the Republican heifers
are cropping the savOry grass from un-
der their feet. Secretary Bayard is not
as potent as he once was. His posing
as an ardent civil Service reformer has
taken the edge off of his persistence,
while there is absolutely nothing in the
record of either Senator Salisbury or
Congressman Lore to rise up and re-
buke them for demanding the 'spOils.
Senator Salisbury always was an
OutspOken spokesman, and he believes
and said so in the DeLGIOGreGn on OctO-
Der 18th that Ohio was lost to the Demo
Gratis because of President Cleveland's
halfway policy of turning the rascals
out. AS for the genial Representative
in Congress his is a record which has
ever been on the side of popularity in
the Democratic party. These two rep
resentative Democrats have blocked
Mr.. Bayard's game, and unless that
gentleman keeps himself exceedingly
wide-awake all the hungry Ones-and
they are nine-tenths of the party-will
array themselves on the side of the
enemy.
John f. Causey was to be the Col
lector of Internal Revenue for this dis.
trict three months ago, but he is further
off from the Office to-day than he was
then. The President is not yet ready
to appoint Democrats in this part Of
the country that are personally often,
cratic Senator of the State. Neither is
Mr.. Bayard anxious to antagOnize Mr.
Armstrong of Newark, who is Mr.. eau
sey's Democratic competitor, very bit
terly, and thus between the Secretary,
half-heartedness and Senator Sauls
bury's vindictiveness, the cause of eau
sey is being inundated"
