No MATTER who has been elected
poultry promises to be plenty and good
this Autumn. Chickens. ducks, and
turkeys, to say nothing of speckled-
winged and shrill-crying guineas
abound. busting themselves by
the roadside, scratching in the fence
corners, waking the welkiu from the
tree tops, fighting for the championship
in the barn-yard are to be seen armies
of poultry.
REV. J. B. QUIGG, in a discourse on
Sunday evening upon the beheading of
John the Baptist and the causes that
led thereto, drew strong comparison
between him and the ministers of this
day in meeting their obligations in re-
buking evil whenever found, maintain
ing that the ministers should not only
raise their voices against the evils that
curse society but that it was their duty
to give their adhesion to all proper ef-
forts looking towards the reformation
and elevation of the people.
Miss MoLLIE Nj. SMITH, who has
been keeping millinery store on
Main street has purchased the store of
Mrs. r. Il. Young, on Lockerman
street, in Dover, and purposes moving
there tomorrow. This change was
quite unexpected to the many friends
of Miss Smith in this town who regret
her departure from among us. Her
reason for a change of residence seems
to have been solely because of the
difficulty in getting a suitable place of
business in our town,
THE HI. Henry Minstrels, who gave
an entertainment at the Town Hall on
Saturday night was considered by the
audience one of the best that has
ever been in the town. Their palace
car, in which they eat, sleep and abide
when not engaged in entertainments.
remained at our depot over Sunday
and was visited by large number of
our young people. Hi. Henry and his
company in both performance and per-
sonal conduct are evidently deter
mined to keep above the lOlv comedy
OF many minstrel troupes
MRS. HIRNHEIMER, wife of B. Hirn-
heimer, has bought the store house of
John H. Bewley, corner of Main and
Commerce streets, this town, for the
sum of $1,000. Possession will be given
the first of the year. 1t is the inten-
ton of the purchaser to make consid-
erable alteration in the house as a place
Of business, chief of which will be the
lowering of the floor to the pavement
and putting in bulk windows on
both the main and Commerce street
fronts. Messrs. Hirnheimer & Son
will move their clothing store to this
corner.
THE license system had its legiti-
mate result at Clayton last week. as
we are informed, in two wife beatings
by intoxicated husbands who are
brothers, both of whom are said to have
excellent wives. Some of the citizens
were so indignant it is said, that thev
were about to sOuse one of the men
into an oil barrel and feather him, but
he begged so piteOusly and made so
many promises that they let him off
this time.
The worst of it is not alone that it
lmbrutes the man, but that the women
are made to suffer the worst conse-
quences of drunken brutality without
redress, and yet men vote by the thou
sands that this brutalizing Of men and
degradation Of women shall 20 on.
