The First of the Season.

What is more pleasant to read than
the announcement of an excursion to
flvorite and popular watering place.
Once year for five years past the mem
bers of the Christiana Church have
taken an excursion to Cape May. Every
one has proven an enjoyable occasion.
Heretofore the committee having the
matter in charge made the date some
what late in the season, and although
every excursion was well patronizcd, yet
the time set was entirely too late. This
year June 22nd has been selected, and
the magnificent steamer Republic has
been chartered or the occasion. A train
will be run from this place to Delaware
City, where the boat will be taken. Pos
sibly train will be also run from Elk
ton. The days pleasure will cost one n
trihing sum. More notice will be given
of the great excursion by the Christana
Presbyterian Church.

AN idle rumor has been afoat that

Just as the Deer Park hack came up
opposite the College on Monday morn
ing, and as Mr.. Prick was about to. lump
to the ground, one of the lines became
entangled, the horses dropped back in
the harness, sending the hack around at
lively rate. One of the animals finally
fell down, thereby stopping the top-like
movement Of the vehicle. Several per-
sons who were in the hack, among
which was a lady, escaped without in
jury. The accident caused no little ex-
element. We might give certain Lam
guage used on that occasion, but we re-
frain from so doing because we had
friends in that scrape.

Note and Comment.

A Dakota man who was running for
the Magistracy announced that if elected
he would charge only 81 for marrying
any couple, and would wait until there
was christening" for his payment. He
left the rival candidate in the shade.
One might be tempted to take advan-
tage of the low rates to California were
it not for haunting fear that the fight
might be ended while he is there, and
rates be advanced to so high point that
he wouldn't have money enough to get
home with. Corporations are mighty
onsartin" things.
A manly acknowledgement.-The edi-
tor left on Tuesday noon for Battle Creek,
Mich, to attend the funeral of brother
editor who died at Eaglewood, on Sum
day morning, Of typhoid fever. If the
paper is any better this week than usual
the credit therefore should be given to
his wife, who will occupy the editorial
chair. There is nothing she likes better
than making out subscription receipts,
and if any have u doubt of her ability so
to do they should come and give her
chance to show her ability.-Dapdge (HH)
Independent.
Persons who have superstitious
dread of Friday will not be pleased to
learn that this is a thoroughly Friday
year. 1t came in ON Friday, and will
go out on Friday, and will have fifty
three Fridays. There are four months
in the year that have five Fridays each /;
changes of the moon occur five times on
a Friday, and the longest and shortest
day of the year each falls on Friday.
Colonel A. X. Mcclure is paid salary
of $4,000 a year as editor of the Phila--
delphia Times and he receives $4,000
more from dividends on his stock in the
paper, making his income $4,000 annu-
ally. He spaid more handsomely than
any editor in this country.
The sum expressed above comes some
thing near what we receive. Just leave
off two naughts and drop out the comma
and You have our salary.
WHAT THE Local PAPER DoEs.-Every
year every local paper gives from 500 to
| 5000 free lines for the sole benefit
of the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or will
do this. The local editor in proportion
to his means does more for his town
than any other ten men, and in all fair
ness, man with man, he ought to be
supported, not because you may happen
to like him, or admire his writing, but
because local paper is the best invest
ment community can make. It. may
not be brilliant or crowed with more
thoughts but financially it is more of q
benefit to Il community than the preach
or or teacher. Understand us now, we
do not mean morally or Intellectually,
but financially, and yet on the moral
question you will find the majority of
the local papers are on the right side of
the question. To-day the editors of To-
cal papers do the most work for the least
money of any men on earth. Subscribe
for your local paper, not as a charity, but
as an Northumberland Davis.
There are many who would not be-
lieve this if we had said it, but as it
comes from such Il source as it does, we
cannot see how they can believe any
other way.

Wanted His Trunk Checked.

One day last week a colored individ-
ual applied at the ticket window of the
P. w. and B. r. r. station, and asked to
have a trunk checked, at the SAME time
handing the agent mileage book.
"Where to-" said the agent. Il dunno,
sir, he said he wanted it checked"
"Where tor" asked the agent again, and
at this juncture the train was in sight.
The colored individual rushed out and
found the owner of the mileage book,
who fastened to the window and pre-
senting the pass book, said, 81 want my
trunk checked" Still the agent was puz-
zled, but after repeating the question
once or twice-"where to pho found
out just in time to check the trunk be-
fore the train left.

On Wednesday last the Hon. IIoratio
Gates Jones Of Philadelphia, and Judge
Horatius McClare Jones, formerly of st.
Louis, Mo, were the guests Of George w.
Lindsey ofour town. The visitors spent
most of the day looking over the last
resting place of their ancestors, who
were among the first settlers and wor-
shippers at Welsh Tract Church, near
Iron Hill, Md, about the year 1920.
The Judge is employed in writingup the
geneology of the Jones and Griffith faml-
lies. We were shown the history which
runs back for eight generations, and is
very interesting, particularly to those
who have known these two families for
the past fifty or sixty years.

After winter of long duration-one
of much severity-the season is at hand
when nature causes bright-hued flowers
to bloom, and warns the thrifty farmer
that if he would have a golden harvest,
he must prepare the ground for the seed.
The country; dotted with farm houses,
present now unusually busy scenes.
Farming implements arc dragged from
storage places and repairs added, if ne
cessary. Many think the farmers life is
one of comparative ease. Never great
er mistake. While his lands returns
him bountifully and makes his station in
life one of pure freedom, but it takes
work to do it.

ly landed against Mrs. Frederick Curtis

ing the wagon badly. The boy had one
of his hands quite badly hurt by striking
one of the sharp points of the fence.

April.

Well, April, tickle lass, you're here,
With muddy shoe and cap of snow,
With now a smile and now tear,
With first kiss and then a blow.
You come with saucy flap of skirt,
With pout of lip and roguish eye
That mark you, April, for flirt
Who offers love but to deny.
But then, dear April, we forgive
The follies of your wanton way;
You tend the flowers while you live,
And, dying, give them all to May.

THE .chances are that Tombstone has more croakers in her population than any other city of the same size ip the United States. Two months ago they were declaring that all the cattle in tue territory were going to die as there would be no rain and cor- Aequently no grass nor water. Hapi- ly this prediction has not been full filled and now they have turned their attention to the mines and declare tbat they have peteEed out, and will meyer start pp again. Their predic- tions ip regard to the mines are just tue same as about the cattle. The only trouble is that these ,croakers do not peter out themselves and leave this ppgofly country as they call it instead. of staying here and trying to injure its prosperity.
