Ir's funny how "Christmas Cheer

CELEDRATIoN.--Last Wednesday
night a party of two dozen gentlemen
responded to invitations of Messrs. e.
B. Davidson Mark L. Davis and F. w.
Davis, to be their guests at an oyster
supper, given by them TO celebrate the
anniversary of their several births,
which occurred this week.
ON the last entertainment in the Star
Course, DR.. Marshall sunk about
twenty-five dollars. This was no fault
# the entertainment or the artists EN-
ployed. If you want to draw a full
house in Milford, bring n minstrel
show or an Uncle TOMS Cabin troupe.
First-class entertainments don't pay.
IT is a pleasure to note the prosper
ity of any business, and this lime we
must congratulate DR. c. II. S. Little
ton, whose dental rooms are on North
Front street. The DR.. has been an
noyed by not having whiting room
sufficient for his patients; but he has
met the difficulty by putting up new
room in his building.
For a number of years DR.. Charles
Richards, of Georgetown, has present
ed to the paupers and inmates of the
Sussex County almshouse, annually
at Christman time, a treat or candies, |
cakes, fruits, tobacco, and notions.
The Doctor made his customary
visit this year the day before Christ
mas. Since that time he has been All
invalid from kidney troubles.

In last weeks issue, the
editor Of the "Breakwater Light" re-
turned his thanks for a turkey sent

N this peninsula.
TWILIGHT PARTIES is the now

WELL, there is one thing that the |
oliticians cannot cry out "Over-prO- c
uction" about, and that is our egg e
lppIy. The American hens believe t
4 a heavy import duty, and will con-
niue to supply the demand to a limit |
i extent at 81 cents per dozen in New u
'ork. There were 900, 900 dozen eggs I
from foreign countries, in l
ne last three months, through the n
ort of New York alone, and the hens S
the U. S. will call convention to K
ct the pros and cons on the situation. c
AN OLD ANINIAL.-Dr. VIM. Mar

lirty-two-y next spring. For E
lany years this animal was used by =
