John H. CATHCART has leased of !
VIM. A. Winford the room adjoining
the clothing store of John E. Phillips,
which has been used by E. G.. Reed as
an oyster saloon, and will have it fixed
up in a week or two for news stand.
The room now used by Mr.. Cathcart,
on Commerce street below Main, will
be fitted up and opened as an oyster
saloon by F. ]. Carter as soon as it is
vacated.
THE residents of Methodist street
have tired very naturally at so inap-
name as it now bears and
Yesterday two ladies started out to find
the sense of the property holders on
the street in regard to a change of
name, and it was generally cOncurred
in. The authorities competent to make
the change will be waited upon. The
name of Washington street" is what
is desired.
THE position of the Superintendency
of our Public Schools ought not to be,
but is a political Office, and Assistant
Carpenter, in looking ahead, was so un-
fortunate as to cast his fortune on the |
losing side. L. 1. Handy, who was an
unsuccessful candidate when the last |
appointments of the two officers was
made, comes serenely to the top with |
the victorious party. and Mr.. G. will |
doubtless hear from him agSin, later.
GEO. D. COLLINS has bought two lots
at the corner of North and Union
streets, one of Joseph EanWinkle and
the other of Joseph Stephenson, each
in size 38 by 100 feet. These lots are
disposed of by the owners because
they expect to leave this place the first
of next month, Mr.. Van Winkle to
take a position with Strawbridge &
ClOthier, in Philadelphia, and Mr.
Stephenson to open paper and paint
store in Centreville, Md.
THE party lines that were drawn in
the gubernatorial contest in Duck
Greek hundred, from what we can
learn, will not answer at all in the
coming senatorial contest. There are
number of Democrats who voted for
Biggs delegates at the primary elec-
tion for delegates to the State COnven-
ton who are equally as decided for the
continuance Ex-senator Gray in the U.
S. Senate, and will thus express them
selves at the proper time.
THUS far our region has noticably
escaped the storms that have swept
across other localities, accounts of
which are given almost daily in the
papers. We have had no violent
storms this Summer and we don't want
them. The gentle rain, however, fell
until three weeks ago in great abun-
dance. Give them enough of this and
our farmers and gardeners will be
happy, while the markets will abound
as they do now, in. all good things.

., G. A. WICK has fixed up his famil

20 20 manner. The lot, which is 80 by

nd The regulation holiday season is
on most over. Its coming was warn

sion, and for the most part those W
welcomed it are ready for the dut

is easily such thing as a surfeit of re

rest, it is to be remembered that o.
