cellent appetite suffers from no aches or

was a man but little past middle age
"A heavy wind-storm struck this
town Sunday evening. For time it
looked as if tornado was about to
sweep over and level the town. The
only damage that was reported to us, was
that Mr.. J. c. Shivler, agent at the P.,W.
and B-R. r. station, was coming up the
depot road in his carriage, when the
wind struck the vehicle, and tore all the
curtains Off Mr. shivler thought that
the carriage would be blown over.
Mr.. W. g. Hartlove, the gunmaker
and taxidermist, wishes TO inform his
numerous customers in this section that
owing to large increase in his business
he has found it necessary to leave his
old stand at 2O6 East 3rd street, Whining
ton, and move into larger quarters at the
N. l.. Corner Third and French streets,
where he will always be found hereafter
with a new, large and select stock Of all
articles pertaining to his business.
VIM. L. Heger, advance agent Of the
Edison Electric Light Company of Will
mington, Del, called on us Thursday.
He is trying to interest our citizens in
electric lights. We are sure that most
of our citizens are in favor of having
electric plant here. We sincerely hope
provided it does not cost too much-to
see the plant. The lights on the street
would be cheaper, and in dwellings,
stores, ETC., almost as cheap as coal oil.
Let the business men talk the matter
over.

Order of Good Templars visited Fair
View Lodge, No. s, of the same order, on
Wednesday evening last. The Fair View
folks entertained their guests handsome
ly, intact so well, that they were loath to
take their departure, and did not until
late hour. Messrs. Lawrence Whiteman,
Vansant, Mohorter, Manuel and McKin-
sey made few remarks upon the tenn
perance question. George White sang a
humorous selection and Miss Lizzie But
terworth favored the friends with a
select reading. Refreshments were serv-
ed in abundance, and the remainder Of
the time was spent in social intercourse
Fair View Lodge has been organized but
a short time, but has made rapid pro-
gress, and now boasts of membership
of nearly 90 members.
-Wm. Green, alias "Billy the JOKER"
Hwho was found in an old barge, at Chesa-
A peake City, on Thursday last, with his
skull fractured, died on Sunday morning.
At the inquest held on Sunday after
noon, it was proved that a couple Of
pgypsies had been seen in the neighbor-
hood of the barge on Wednesday. Green
made no satisfactory statement, having
contradicted himself but stated that
Harry Riley, gypsey, was his assailant.
The jury returned a verdict of death
caused by some person unknown. Three
hundred dollars was obtained by the
murderer. No doubt, but this will be a
similar case as Volkner, who was muir
dered and thrown into Elk river, year
or two ago. There is no direct clue to
the murderer, and it is hardly probable
that any one will interest themselves
| to ferret out the guilty party.
